Because the pace of technological development is so staggering, it is difficult for State and local criminal justice administrators to stay abreast of all the new developments and have the information needed to make critical purchasing and deployment decisions. This report is a comprehensive directory of the U.S. Dept. of Justice's operational, research, and funding programs to help State and local agencies use technology to fight crime and improve public safety. This guide seeks to provide helpful information to law enforcement, corrections, and forensic science professionals as they evaluate, acquire, and use equipment and technology.
