Criminal Intelligence Systems Operating Policies (28 CFR Part 23) National Training and Technical Assistance Program

The Criminal Intelligence System Operating Procedures (28 CFR Part 23) National Training and Technical Assistance Program (Part 23 TTAP) (funding anticipated through the FY 2011 general appropriation and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program (42 U.S.C. 3750, et seq.), provides training and technical assistance, including onsite intelligence system compliance reviews, to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies across the United States. The Part 23 TTAP has been in existence since 1999.

The Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) will implement the Criminal Intelligence System Operating Procedures (28 CFR Part 23) National Training and Technical Assistance Program (Part 23 TTAP). Part 23 TTAP provides training and technical assistance including onsite intelligence system compliance reviews to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies across the United States. IIR will continue responding to agencies' need for guidance on the practical application of the regulation and the complex relationship between gathering and sharing of criminal intelligence information and privacy and civil liberty concerns.
