The Role of Leadership In developing our country’s response to the threat of terrorism, law enforcement, public safety, and private sector leaders have recognized the need to improve the sharing of information and intelligence across agency borders. Every official involved in information and intelligence sharing has a stake in this initiative. Leaders must move forward with a new paradigm on the exchange of information and intelligence, one that includes the integration of law enforcement, public safety, and the private sector. Law enforcement, public safety, and private sector leaders are encouraged to embrace the guidelines in this report when establishing a fusion center or participating in one. Information and intelligence sharing among states and jurisdictions will become seamless and efficient when each fusion center uses a common set of guidelines. It is the intent of this document to provide guidelines that help ensure fusion centers are established and operated effectively and efficiently in a manner that protects the privacy and civil liberties of citizens. The complete support of public safety leaders at all levels is critical to the successful implementation and operation of fusion centers.

  • The Legacy of INTERPOL Crime Data to Cross-National Criminology1
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE AND APPLIED CRIMINAL JUSTICE FALL 2009, VOL. 33, NO. 2 The Legacy of INTERPOL Crime Data to Cross-National Criminology1 ROSEMARY BARBERET2 John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY INTERPOL crime data constitute the oldest and most continuous cross-national data series available to criminologists. Recently, INTERPOL has decided to forego its data collection efforts. This paper, based on a systematic and extensive literature review, will examine how criminologists and other social scientists have used INTERPOL data to examine criti- cal issues in the description and explanation of cross-national crime. It will end with a critical reflection on the contribution of INTERPOL data to our knowledge base, as well as the possibilities that exist for using other data sources to continue research in this area. INTRODUCTION Crime data from INTERPOL are the oldest dataset of cross-national indica- tors of crime maintained by an intergovernmental organization. Thanks to these data, criminologists have created a literature that aims to explain national as well as cross-national differences and trends in crime rates. Created in 1923, the International Criminal Police Commission (ICPC, later abbreviated to ICPC-INTERPOL and now known as INTERPOL) was founded to facilitate police cooperation among countries, even where diplomatic ties do not exist. INTERPOL's International Crime Statistics were first published in 1950. In 2006, INTERPOL decided to cease collecting and disseminating crime data, and 2005 was the last

  • ISIS Agent, Sterling Archer, Launches His Pirate King Theme FX Cartoon Series Archer Gets Its First Hip Hop Video Courtesy of Brooklyn Duo, Drop It Steady
    ISIS agent, Sterling Archer, launches his Pirate King Theme FX Cartoon Series Archer Gets Its First Hip Hop Video courtesy of Brooklyn duo, Drop it Steady Fans of the FX cartoon series Archer do not need to be told of its genius. The show was created by many of the same writers who brought you the Fox series Arrested Development. Similar to its predecessor, Archer has built up a strong and loyal fanbase. As with most popular cartoons nowadays, hip-hop artists tend to flock to the animated world and Archer now has it's hip-hop spin off. Brooklyn-based music duo, Drop It Steady, created a fun little song and video sampling the show. The duo drew their inspiration from a series sub plot wherein Archer became a "pirate king" after his fiancée was murdered on their wedding day in front of him. For Archer fans, the song and video will definitely touch a nerve as Drop it Steady turns the story of being a pirate king into a forum for discussing recent break ups. Video & Music Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?bapupbzlw1tzt5a Official Website: http://www.dropitsteady.com Drop it Steady on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/dropitsteady About Drop it Steady: Some say their music played a vital role in the Arab Spring of 2011. Others say the organizers of Occupy Wall Street were listening to their demo when they began to discuss their movement. Though it has yet to be verified, word that the first two tracks off of their upcoming EP, The Most Interesting EP In The World, were recorded at the ceremony for Prince William and Katie Middleton and are spreading through the internets like wild fire.

    ©2016 Jacob B. Archer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE CARE OF ART AND ARTIFACTS SUBJECTED TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PROCESS by JACOB B. ARCHER A thesis submitted to the Graduate School­New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Art History written under the direction of Cynthia Jacob, J.D., Ph.D. and approved by ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey [May 2016] ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS THE CARE OF ART AND ARTIFACTS SUBJECTED TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PROCESS By JACOB B. ARCHER Thesis Director Cynthia Jacob, J.D., Ph.D. This thesis is intended to serve as a guide for law enforcement officers on how to care for art and artifacts subjected to the law enforcement process. Law enforcement officers may encounter art and artifacts in various ways, such as through seizure, unexpected finds, and planned recovery operations. Law enforcement officers have a duty to properly care for property, to include cultural property objects such as art and artifacts, while in their custody and control, but art and artifacts often require care beyond the routine handling generally afforded to common property items. This thesis will offer suggestions for the law enforcement officer on how to recognize art and artifacts in the field and how to subsequently handle and care for same. These suggestions are meant to be integrated into existing law enforcement policies and procedures so as to realistically account for the time, skill, and financial resources associated with law enforcement officers and their respective agencies, all the while maintaining adherence to generally accepted evidence collection practices.

In fact, to the best of my knowledge, the only things he ever read growing up were pornographic comic books (we used to call them “Tijuana bibles,” but I’m sure that’s no longer considered polite, what with all these immigrants driving around every- where in their lowriders, listening to raps and shooting all the jobs).

  • Comments from the Electronic Privacy Information Center
    COMMENTS OF THE ELECTRONIC PRIVACY INFORMATION CENTER to the Department of Homeland Security Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee October 27, 2020 Meeting and New Tasking November 10, 2020 _____________________________________________________________________________ The Electronic Privacy Information Center (“EPIC”) submits these comments in response to the October 27, 2020 meeting of the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee (“DPIAC”).1 EPIC writes now to expand on oral comments provided at the meeting. The Chief Privacy Officer tasked the DPIAC to provide “written guidance on best practices to ensure the effective implementation of privacy requirements for information sharing across the DHS enterprise.”2 EPIC calls on the DPIAC to perform a thorough investigation of fusion centers in response to that tasking. Specifically the DPICAC should 1) create a public report detailing the use of facial recognition technology by fusion centers, including the privacy and civil liberties risks created by this usage; 2) urge DHS to ban the use of facial recognition by fusion centers; 3) review data minimization and retention requirements at fusion centers and determine whether fusion centers are complying with those requirements; and 4) consider whether DHS’s continued support of fusion 1 85 F.R. 63568, https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/10/08/2020-22240/dhs-data-privacy-and- integrity-advisory-committee. 2 Agenda for Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Meeting (Oct. 27, 2020), https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/dpiac_october_27_public_meeting_agenda_for_web_202 01022.pdf. centers is justified in light of the minimal amount of actionable intelligence they produce and the magnitude of privacy and civil liberties harms they create.
