Communications Technologies Technology Working Group
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Communications Technologies (CommTech) Technology Working Group (TWG) is a committee of 10 to 20 law enforcement practitioners and technologists chosen based on their professional reputation and experience. They meet several times a year to review and validate NIJ's research and development activities and to ensure that current and future technologies meet practitioners' needs.
The TWG is sponsored by NIJ and supported by the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) Communications Technologies Center of Excellence, with the Deputy Director serving as the group's Coordinator.
The TWG works with the Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Advisory Council (LECTAC) to ensure that NIJ's CommTech program is tied to practitioner needs and high standards for safety and performance. They also identify and define additional technology needs and operational requirements that have not been previously documented.
The TWG and its members also:
Peer review concept papers and proposals (received in response to NIJ solicitations).
Review the ongoing status of research and development projects.
Evaluate the success of programs and projects.
Assist to identify host agencies to serve as test beds or first adopters of newly developed technologies.
