The National Sheriffs’ Association, Justice Solutions, and the National Organization of Parents Of Murdered Children have partnered to develop a protocol on how law enforcement agencies can best serve survivors of homicide victims during cold case investigations. This Project is funded by the Office for Victims of Crime, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. To help inform development of the protocol, the Project is surveying law enforcement agencies to collect information on how they handle cold case investigations. The 15 minute survey can be accessed by clicking the link above. If you are not with a law enforcement agency but know of an agency that handles cold case investigations, please forward this announcement to the appropriate person at that agency and encourage them to complete the survey.

The Police Executive Research Forum, National Sheriffs’ Association and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance are pleased to announce the availability of our most recent CED publication, Conducted Energy Devices: Use in a Custodial Setting.
Conducted Energy Devices are increasingly being deployed in detention and correctional facilities and courts throughout the United States. The Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) and the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) combined resources to examine issues pertaining to the use of CED’s within custodial and court environments. The Bureau of Justice Assistance provided funding and support for PERF and NSA to: survey the field to determine the extent to which sheriffs’ offices have developed policies on CEDs and/or are using the devices, and establish guidelines for CED use in a custodial setting. The report describes the study’s survey methodology and findings, as well as provides general guidelines for the use of CEDs and other electronic devices in custodial settings.
