SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority

This action is authorized under the

Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets

Act of 1968, §§ 201–03, as amended, 42

U.S.C. 3721–23 (1994).

Background

The National Institute of Justice is

seeking research applications in the

areas of law enforcement information

technology selection, implementation,

and impact evaluation. In an

environment of rapidly changing

technology, growing numbers of

vendors targeting police agencies as

customers, and differing levels of

sophistication among agencies, the

policing community is in increasing

need of researched guidelines to direct

their purchase and implementation of

new information technologies.

Examples of information technology

include: management information

systems (MIS), computer-aided dispatch

(CAD), electronic pin mapping, geomapping, and other information

technologies appropriate to police

functions.

There are three phases to the

acquisition and adoption of information

technology to be considered in each

proposal: the assessment and

decisionmaking phase, where the study

will look to identify agency need and

technologies that fit that need, and

consider budget constraints; the

implementation phase, in which the

study should consider the extent of

necessary planning, the role of agency

staff, and the possible involvement of

external agencies or constituency; and

the impact-assessment phase, where the

study will determine the levels of

change driven by the new technologies

within the police agency, and the

impact of the technology on efficiency,

methodology, and effectiveness.

Applicants should include within

their research design a combination of

the following research procedures: focus

groups, case studies, a comprehensive

study based on the focus groups and

case studies, and model development.

Interested organizations should call

the National Criminal Justice Reference

Service (NCJRS) at 1–800–851–3420 to

obtain a copy of ‘‘Information

Technology Acquisition: Local and State

Law Enforcement’’ (refer to document

no. SL000233). The solicitation is
