Common Operational Picture Technology in Law Enforcement: Three Case Studies, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Camden County, New Jersey, Chicago, Illinois, 2015-2019 (ICPSR 37582)

Released/updated on: 2022-01-13

Geographic coverage: Camden, Baton Rouge, United States, Chicago, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey

Time period: 2015-01-01--2019-01-01

The use of common operational picture (COP) technology can give law enforcement and its public safety response partners the capacity to develop a shared situational awareness to support effective and timely decision-making. These technologies collate and display information relevant for situational awareness (e.g., the location and what is known about a crime incident, the location and operational status of an agency's patrol units, the duty status of officers).

CNA conducted a mixed-methods study including a technical review of COP technologies and their capacities and a set of case studies intended to produce narratives of the COP technology adoption process as well as lessons learned and best practices regarding implementation and use of COP technologies.

This study involved four phases over two years: (1) preparation and technology review, (2) qualitative case studies, (3) analysis, and (4) development and dissemination of results. This study produced a market review report describing the results from the technical review, including common technical characteristics and logistical requirements associated with COP technologies and a case study report of law enforcement agencies' adoption and use of COP technologies. This study provides guidance and lessons learned to agencies interested in implementing or revising their use of COP technology. Agencies will be able to identify how they can improve their information sharing and situational awareness capabilities using COP technology, and will be able to refer to the processes used by other, model agencies when undertaking the implementation of COP technology.

Evaluability Assessment and Baseline Study of the Supporting Collective Healing in the Wake of Harm Program, 5 U.S. cities, 2018-2019 (ICPSR 37624)

Released/updated on: 2024-01-16

Geographic coverage: Rapid City, Minneapolis, Baton Rouge, United States, Texas, Louisiana, South Dakota, Minnesota, California, Oakland, Houston

Time period: 2018-01-01--2019-12-31

The Collective Healing Initiative (CHI) is a demonstration project supporting five law enforcement agencies from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Houston, Texas, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Rapid City, South Dakota, and Oakland, California. The purpose was to work with their communities to promote collective healing in the wake of traumatic events. The law enforcement agencies worked collaboratively with various community partners and service providers to implement trauma-informed strategies to improve police-community relations, enhance victim services, and promote officer wellness. Researchers conducted an evaluability assessment and baseline study of the CHI using a mixed methods study design including a comprehensive document review, site visits, a capacity and network survey, and a stakeholder survey. Data analyses included a rigorous qualitative analysis of interview data, a social network analysis of grantee and partner collaboration, and a descriptive analysis of stakeholder perceptions of the CHI and the training and technical assistance provided. Findings from each data source were triangulated to develop site descriptions and logic models, assess collaboration and partnerships, conduct evaluability assessments to inform future research and evaluation plans, and assess the training and technical assistance delivered to the sites.
