DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CRIMINAL DIVISION’S MUTUAL LEGAL

Upon review of the surveys, the decision was made to conduct site inspections of all county courthouses in the state. The Montana Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) was requested by the Montana Supreme Court Administrator’s Office to conduct a systematic inspection of every district court location. The purpose of the physical inspection process was to inventory security equipment, review procedures/policies, and identify needs and wants of the jurisdictions. Due to personnel and time constraints, the scope of the inspection was limited to the district courtroom, the judge’s chambers, the clerk of court office, jury room, youth court, public waiting area and prisoner transport routes within the courthouse.

G. Offenders with a sex offense conviction under another state, a foreign country, federal law, or the Uniform Military Code of Justice, require a review by the DPS to determine if the elements of the sex offense are substantially similar to a Texas reportable sex offense. Offenders with a temporary State Identification Number (SID#) starting with 922 will not be entered on the DPS website until a permanent SID# has been assigned.

Continued funding for these grants beyond July 31, 2016 is uncertain. The Legislative Fiscal Office recommends that the interim Joint Committee on Ways and Means recommend the Department of Justice Other Funds expenditure limitation for the Criminal Justice Division be increased by $254,493, and two limited duration positions (1.08 FTE) be established in a budget reconciliation bill during the 2016 legislative session for the Titan Fusion Center.

Sacramento State’s Master of Science program in Criminal Justice is designed to provide broad knowledge and understanding of the field of criminal justice, law enforcement, legal processes, and rehabilitation of offenders. The program provides an extensive academic foundation for a growing variety of professional opportunities and facilitates professional development in

Virginia parent with physical and legal custody of a child needing support can apply for assistance. The applicant will be asked to supply information which will help locate the absent parent. There is no charge to the applicant. All child support which the state collects goes directly to the custodial parent. Child support payments may reduce the amount of ADC assistance a family receives. Child support currently ends when the child reaches 18, but this may be extended to 19 if the child is still in high school. The Division has many ways to collect: garnish wages, intercept state and federal tax refunds, put liens on property and tie up assets (such as bank accounts). In some cases, the state will prosecute. You may also get court- ordered child support for your children by going to the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court Intake Unit in the city in county where the children live. If the absent parent lives out of state, call the toll free number (within Virginia) to obtain information about the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act (URESA)/Interstate child support enforcement process.

(d) "CJIS System Agency" (CSA) means the criminal justice agency that has overall responsibility for the administration and usage of the NCIC within a district, state, territory or federal agency as designated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The CJIS System Agency for this state is the department. (e) "CJIS System Officer" (CSO) means a member of the CJIS System Agency, selected by the head of the CSA, having the responsibility for monitoring system use, enforcing system discipline and security, and ensuring that all users follow operating procedures.

Although the use of online training may reduce the time officers spend on in-service training, the new requirement that officers must pass end-of-topic tests will likely result in about the same amount of time spent on in-service training as in past years. The agency expects a high rate of passing (98-100%) on the tests given that the questions created by the Justice Academy are already part of the curriculum and there is familiarity with the style of questions. Also, given the 95% passing rate on the 300-question Basic Law Enforcement Training test that officers have to take, the agency is fairly confident that most officers would past the test on the first try. So there is a very small possibility that someone would have to retake the course. Based on all these assumptions, the agency estimates minimal impact to local government in terms of staff time due to the new testing requirement. There would be however a public benefit since the test would insure that the officers are paying attention to the course content, and would therefore be better trained to respond to different situations.

Completion of at least 6 hours of upper division hours in Criminal Justice Consent of the Instructor COURSE PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS Students may enroll for one to twelve hours of University credit.

This course is intended for assistant prosecutors and others who instruct police officers on the legal aspects of inquiries, stops and frisks. It focuses closely on the distinctions between an inquiry and a Terry stop, how reasonable suspicion is determined, and how the Terry stop has been expanded to cover more than people. It also examines the criteria for a frisk and discusses the plain touch concept approved by the federal Supreme Court. Throughout the course, innovative teaching techniques and procedures will be offered, along with helpful suggestions for instructing new or veteran officers.

B. A Brief History of the Criminal Justice Program at Sacramento State University Emeritus Professor Paul B. Weston initiated a Bachelor of Arts in Police Science and Administration as a sub-unit of the Government Department in 1958. Coincidentally, the State of California formed the Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) in that same year. This was the first Commission on POST in the United States and served as a model for other states. The Police Science and Administration Program grew tremendously during the years between 1958 and 1975. This was primarily due to the new emphasis upon higher

On October 5, 2011, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, in cooperation with the state's AFIS vendor MorphoTrak, as well as St. Louis County Police Department, Boone County Sheriff's office, and Columbia Police Department rolled out Missouri's first Fast ID Pilot Program. This 90-day pilot tested the use of handheld mobile identification devices in the field, as well as the functionality of the back-end system the Patrol purchased in 2011 in order to make this cutting edge technology possible. These handheld mobile devices enabled officers to capture fingerprints roadside and transmit them for search through AFIS. Once the search had been completed, if AFIS identified the subject, demographic information stored in AFIS (name, date of birth, sex, race, and Missouri SID number) was returned to the officer's handheld device. If the

This retention schedule applies to state agency records and information regardless of how it is created or stored. For example, information created and sent using e-mail is as much a public record as materials created or maintained in paper. Kentucky law defines public records, in part, as "documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics, which are prepared, owned, used, in the possession of or retained by a public agency" (KRS 171.410[1]). This means that records management standards and principles apply to all forms of recorded information, from creation to final disposition, regardless of the medium. Records retention scheduling is important in developing, using, and managing computer systems and other electronic devices. Records management practices encourage cost-effective use of electronic media through accurate retention scheduling and legal destruction of records.

Indirect Administration includes executive and division administration, financial and business operations, payroll, human resources, internal audit, and legal services. Additional reductions to these areas would result in the elimination of positions and reduce management's effectiveness in providing oversight and administrative support. A reduction in staff would also impact the agency's ability to provide assistance to victims and significantly reduce programming and information technology services. Funding provides diversions to traditional prison incarceration by the use of community supervision and other community-based programs. Reductions to these programs would result in fewer offenders served in residential beds, specialized caseloads for sex offenders, substance abuse and other specialized caseloads. By reducing the number of viable alternatives to incarceration, funding reductions could directly impact the agency's offender population.

The mission of the CJC Department at MSU Denver is to engage students in the scientific study of crime, criminality, other forms of social deviance, and the official response to crime by law enforcement, the criminal courts and the correctional system. To that end, the department seeks to address the spe- cial needs of adult learners and to prepare them to move into criminal justice careers or post graduate work as liberally educated, intellectually mature, ethically aware, and culturally sensitive people. The degree will provide stu- dents with knowledge of, and the ability to analyze the nature and causes of crime and victimization, criminal processes, criminal justice organizations and the agency practices, as well as the law and the legal system. Moreover, the program requires students to critically examine how social justice is ad- ministered in a diverse and global society.
