We are actively seeking ideas to help us identify technology needs and requirements as part of the National Institute of Justice's Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation process. The process takes this input from law enforcement and corrections practitioners and uses it to make recommendations on prioritizing NIJ's investments across technology portfolios.

NIJ logoThe Office of Justice Programs' National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is a research and development agency of the U.S. Department of Justice. NLECTC is a program of NIJ's Office of Science and Technology.
Communications
NIJ's Communications Technologies program provides criminal justice and public safety agencies with tools to facilitate interoperable voice communications, effective and efficient information sharing and high-bandwidth, low-cost communications. Specific areas of interest include software-defined radio (SDR); information assurance in a mixed, federated environment; information sharing and analysis in a mixed heterogeneous environment; and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP).
