The National Initiatives: Enhancing Law Enforcement Program, administered by the Office of Justice Programs' (OJP) Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), helps improve criminal justice systems and provides national programs and national efforts such as training and technical assistance to strategically address the needs of state and local justice systems and communities.
The Northwestern State University will continue to implement through the Gulf States Regional Center for Public Safety Innovations (GSRCPI), the Interstate Corridor Consortiums initiative to facilitate and promote the adoption of best practices in local and regional policing. Northwestern State University will provide through the I-95 and I-10 initiatives, assistance exploring enforcement tactics that have been successful in local crime prevention, reduction efforts and evaluate their potential in anti-terrorism activities. They will facilitate the development of stronger partnerships among policing agencies between federal and local law enforcement; enhancing local, regional, and national security. Northwestern State University will capture, analyze and redistribute information to help these I-10 partners decide which issues can be addressed from a multi-jurisdictional, multi-state approach. The project goal is to address the issues of different law enforcement infrastructures in each state, identify and address the motivational factors that impede information sharing by individual officers to other shifts, agencies and states. Northwestern State University will document successful best practices and publish these efforts and findings through the Bureau of Justice Assistance policy papers for national distribution and assistance.
