-Caveat Lector- NIJ looking for your help with new hi-tech inventions for citizen suppression check out #g below.... "telemetered perspiration drug detection" Voice I.D, scads of biometrics projects, neighborhood "mapping" and "data warehousing" CCTV cameras popping up everywhere with image (facial) recognition software, but wait.... what happened to the Bill of Rights ? How does a Department of "Justice" come to be a department of oppression and murder? More importantly ... how can this trend of creeping (leaping) Facism be reversed? Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com/dave Full text: http://ncjrs.org/txtfiles1/sl000374.txt also: http://ncjrs.org excerpt: Officer Protection and Crime Prevention. Techniques, materials, and methods are needed to improve the protective and safety equipment used by law enforcement and corrections officials. Your applications addressing officer protection should emphasize improving the degree of protection, comfort and fit of body-worn equipment, ease of use, and cost of protection equipment. Your applications in this area should describe the development of systems that are easy to use, require low power (primarily for man-portable or unattended applications), and are inexpensive to purchase and operate. Some examples of this type of technology are (1) sensors and monitors (perimeter/physical security), (2) explosives/drug detection, and (3) concealed weapons detection. The development, adaptation of existing systems, appropriate deployment, and analysis of closed circuit television (CCTV) is an area that could benefit public safety. Image processing, enhancement and analysis may also be useful. For some types of safety threats (e.g. telephoned bomb scares), speaker identification might have some value. However, it is incumbent on the applicant to articulate the expected benefits and cost trade-offs with existing approaches for dealing with the problems that the technology seeks to address. (d) Less-Than-Lethal (LTL). NIJ seeks technologies that provide new or significantly improved options to conventional use-of-force methods. Scenarios where LTL technologies, devices, or techniques might be appropriately employed include, but are not limited to, confrontation with subjects who assault officers or refuse to comply with lawful orders and who may be armed with a weapon and individuals who become violent or uncooperative. You must consider all aspects of the safety of proposed LTL devices from the effect produced on the subject to the effect on bystanders and on persons employing the LTL device. Any disabling effect on an offender must be of a short duration and completely reversible. You must clearly articulate the expected reduction in the incidence of injury to officers and combative suspects. You must make cogent arguments that the proposed technique or device is quantitatively more effective or safer than that currently used to achieve the same objective. Included in less-than-lethal technology is car and vehicle stopping technology--developing and improving methods police may employ to safely stop fleeing vehicles, including use of stationary systems for check points, police vehicle-based systems, and hand-held portable devices. NIJ also seeks technology for use by law enforcement agencies in performing vehicular pursuit management. Several broad areas of technologies are sought: physical systems and devices that will safely and effectively immobilize motor vehicles; information technologies that can be employed in the management of pursuits in progress or to enhance law enforcement officers' preparedness in responding to pursuit situations; and technologies that warn the general public of imminent hazards associated with pursuits in progress. Proposals that address vehicle-immobilizing systems and devices must provide sufficient description of the physical operating principles of the system or device to permit an assessment of its expected effectiveness and safety. (e) Counterterrorism. NIJ, in concert with the Department of Defense, is a leader in the development of concealed weapon detection technology. NIJ solicits new and innovative concealed weapons detection technology for development and demonstration. Current concealed weapons technology focuses on passive millimeter wave imaging, low intensity electromagnetic technology, long wave infrared receivers, radar and ultrasound technology, passive magnetic detection technology, and low-frequency magnetic imaging technology. NIJ solicits proposals for new and innovative concealed weapons and explosives detection technology that is cheaper, easier to use, and portable. (f) Investigative and Forensic Science. This solicitation seeks proposals for the development of scientific bases for forensic physical evidence obtained from fingerprints and firearms; expansion of trace evidence and questioned document examination techniques; and employment of advanced DNA/serology, pathology, entomology, odontology, and toxicology methods. Specific focus in the area of enhanced DNA testing technology includes development of affordable, rapid, and portable DNA testing technologies designed to improve the ability of State and local law enforcement agencies to support the investigation and adjudication of violent crime. All proposals must demonstrate novelty in technological developments that will result in enhanced performance (e.g., improved reliability, reduced cost). (g) Non-invasive Drug Detection. Candidate technologies include low cost, non-invasive, non-urine based technology such as hair analysis, eye tracking, telemetered perspiration, micro-assay card, drug abuse relay bracelet/patch, and non-invasive blood sensors for drug testing and screening. The NIJ encourages the submission of any research, development, and application proposals that will result in creative, innovative technologies to benefit law enforcement and corrections personnel. All proposals in technology application, assessment, or practice areas not addressed in the previous focus areas will be considered. You must explain the benefit derived from your proposal that will assist law enforcement and corrections. DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
