National Institute Of Justice Publishes Manuals To Improve Law Enforcement And Investigations

          WASHINGTON – The Office of Justice Programs’ National Institute of Justice today released two manuals to help law enforcement agencies employ evidence-based policing and enhance procedures to collect, handle and process digital evidence.

          Evidence-based policing uses data, analysis and research to measure effective policing strategies. Evidence-Based Policing in 45 Small Bytes covers assessing performance, identifying and analyzing problems, and evaluating practices in law enforcement.

          Digital Evidence Policies and Procedures Manual addresses evidence handling and processing from computers, cellphones, GPS units, cameras and other devices. This publication will also help agencies complete the requirements of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies regarding the collection, handling and processing of digital evidence.
