The following newsletter summarizes notable news in the law enforcement industry, current events, and provides access to informative and educational events.
IACP 2018 HIGHLIGHT

This year’s 125th annual convention featured exhibits and workshops establishing enthusiasm and reliance on technology in law enforcement. Special remarks were made by both the International Association of Chiefs of Police and President Donald Trump, who pledged his unwavering support for law enforcement. Many outstanding sessions were offered, including sessions on cybersecurity, combatting the opioid epidemic, analyzing data, mobile forensics, and drones/unmanned aerial vehicles. The impressive exhibit hall displayed vast technological insight. Axon celebrated their 25th anniversary by introducing several new products that contribute to the Officer Safety Plan.


Check out the Carahsoft supported solutions that were featured at IACP:

The Social Government Benchmark Report 2018
With governments under pressure to reduce workforces and streamline operations while delivering excellent citizen experiences, a growing number are turning to social media as a platform for effective engagement. Hootsuite’s Social Government Benchmark Report explores issues around proving the value of social media, identifies key benefits of improving agencies’ social strategy, and shares best practices for planning and implementing enterprise social media management for government. Specifically during a time of crisis, it is important to keep citizens informed. Survey results proved that there were faster response rates and better coordinated teams when using social channels.

5 Ways That New Software Technology Can Help Law Enforcement Teams Collaborate on Forensics Investigations
Law enforcement agencies around the world at the international, national, regional, and local levels are all facing a similar challenge: digital evidence is a key component of every investigation they conduct and the volume of data they must inspect continues to grow every year. The simple truth is that all information in today's world is stored digitally. This challenge has forced us to do whatever we can to survive the onslaught. New groundbreaking software technology has been developed that enables investigators to collaborate in real time, 24/7, and from any location in the world. 

Adobe Digital Government Solutions Support the Law Enforcement & Public Safety Community
Today, citizens and government personnel expect digital government experiences to include secure anytime-anywhere access, elegant design, and flawless performance. Adobe helps law enforcement agencies transform information sharing and delivery through solutions that improve engagement, reduce costs, and make government more efficient.

How BlackBerry 2FA and BlackBerry UEM Help This Law Enforcement Agency to Protect and Serve New York
The Suffolk County Police Department needed an affordable means of keeping their field officers connected while still complying with government regulations. More importantly, this solution had to be easy to use for both officers and administrators, and have the ability to be integrated with existing infrastructure. Having already had several positive experiences with BlackBerry, they turned to the enterprise mobility leader to help them address the challenge of remote connectivity.
