New York PORT AUTHORITY OF NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY
TO ADVANCE OFFICER SKILLS IN GAINING PEACEFUL RESOLUTIONS AND STRENGTHENING TRUST IN THE COMMUNITY, THE PORT AUTHORITY OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY (AGENCY) WILL DEVELOP A VIRTUAL REALITY DE-ESCALATION TRAINING PROGRAM USING THE INTEGRATING COMMUNICATIONS, ASSESSMENT, AND TACTICS (ICAT) TRAINING CURRICULUM.

THE VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING PLATFORM WILL SUPPLEMENT THE ICAT TRAINING CURRENTLY OFFERED AND WILL BE CUSTOMIZABLE, FULLY IMMERSIVE, MULTIPARTICIPANT, AND INCLUDE THE MAPPING OF UNIQUE AGENCY SITES, SUCH AS THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE. TRAINEES WILL BE TRACKED AND CONTINUOUSLY EVALUATED BASED ON THEIR RESPONSES TO THE VIRTUAL REALITY SCENARIOS. THE PORT AUTHORITY IS AN EXCELLENT TESTBED FOR THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY, GIVEN THAT THE HIGHLY TRAVELED TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE IS USED BY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE PER YEAR. FURTHER, AGENCY INFRASTRUCTURE, SUCH AS BRIDGES, TRAIN STATIONS, BUS STATIONS, AND AIRPORTS, ATTRACT INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS AND/OR MAY BE EXPERIENCING BEHAVIORAL OR EMOTIONAL CRISES. THE PORT AUTHORITY POLICE DEPARTMENT BELIEVES THAT WHAT IS LEARNED IN THIS PROJECT CAN BUILD MORE CONFIDENT AND EFFECTIVE POLICE OFFICERS, BENEFITTING BOTH THE AGENCY AND THE COMMUNITY. 		10/1/2024 9/30/2027 Prime $800,000.00

BY THE MID-1950'S, FAIRMONT WAS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MAJOR TOBACCO MARKETS IN THE WORLD. AS HEALTH CONCERNS IMPACTED THE SALES OF TOBACCO, MANY LOCAL FARMERS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS, INCREASING UNEMPLOYMENT AND POVERTY. TODAY, FAIRMONT NC HAS A POVERTY RATE OF 33.4% WITH THE MEDIAN HOME VALUE OF $88,500. THE TOWN IS DIVERSE, WITH 58% OF RESIDENTS AFRICAN AMERICAN, 26% WHITE, AND 13% LUMBEE INDIAN.

Tucson, Arizona CITY OF TUCSON
WITH GUN RELATED CRIME RATES INCREASING IN TUCSON, ARIZONA OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE TUCSON POLICE DEPARTMENT (TPD) IS COMMITTED TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS TO COMBAT THIS GROWING PROBLEM. ONE-THIRD OF GUN-RELATED CRIME (GRC) CASES WITHIN TPD GO UNASSIGNED DUE TO A LACK OF SUFFICIENT INVESTIGATIVE INFORMATION, AND THIS NUMBER IS INCREASING. THE NEED TO SOLVE CASES MORE EFFECTIVELY IS PRESSING IN THE CONTEXT OF EQUITY AND EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE AS VIOLENCE IN TUCSON DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTS COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. TPD AIMS TO ADOPT INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY TO TACKLE THE ESCALATING RATES OF GRC AND ENHANCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INVESTIGATIONS. TPD IS SEEKING TO USE CUTTING-EDGE, NON-RELATIONAL DATABASES TO CONNECT PEOPLE, PLACES, AND SOCIETAL PROBLEMS ACROSS LATENT NETWORKS AND STRATEGICALLY DEPLOY INVESTIGATIVE RESOURCES TO DISRUPT THE MOST AT-RISK CONNECTIONS. TPD'S OBJECTIVE IS TO ENHANCE ITS SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS AND NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING CAPABILITY BY INTEGRATING BOTH VECTOR AND GRAPH DATABASES, THEREBY IDENTIFYING CASE-RELEVANT INFORMATION THAT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE GONE UNNOTICED. THE PROJECT WILL SPAN THREE YEARS AND HAVE THREE MAIN GOALS. FIRST, IT WILL TEST THE UTILITY OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO CONNECT UNSTRUCTURED AND DISPARATE CRIMINAL INTELLIGENCE DATA, SUPPORT SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS, AND DESIGN MACHINE LEARNING SOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT GRC INVESTIGATIONS. SECOND, THE PROPOSAL WILL HELP TO PROVIDE CLEARER EVIDENCE OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY DERIVED INTELLIGENCE AND THE DISRUPTION OF CRIMINAL NETWORKS. THIRD, THE PROPOSAL WOULD ADVANCE THE STATE OF POLICING PRACTICE, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND SCIENCE BY DEVELOPING PROTOCOLS AND THRESHOLDS FOR APPLYING THE NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO PEOPLE AND PLACES. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS LAB, A RESEARCH ENTERPRISE HEADED BY SOCIAL SCIENTISTS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF BEST PRACTICES AND EVALUATIONS. THE PROJECTED RESULTS OF THE PROJECT INVOLVE A RISE IN EFFECTIVE GRC CLEARANCE RATES, INCREASED EFFICIENCY IN INVESTIGATIVE RESOURCE ALLOCATION, AND A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE EQUITABILITY OF MACHINE LEARNING TECHNOLOGY. THE PROJECT WILL SERVE THE COMMUNITY OF TUCSON AND PARTICULARLY THE COMMUNITIES OF COLOR THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY SUFFER FROM VIOLENCE. THE INTENDED BENEFICIARIES OF THE PROJECT ARE THE TUCSON COMMUNITY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, WHICH CAN USE THE PROTOCOLS AND THESE THRESHOLDS DEVELOPED IN THE PROJECT TO IMPROVE THEIR POLICING PRACTICES. 		10/1/2023 9/30/2026 Prime $784,380.00

ONE-THIRD OF GUN-RELATED CRIME (GRC) CASES WITHIN TPD GO UNASSIGNED DUE TO A LACK OF SUFFICIENT INVESTIGATIVE INFORMATION, AND THIS NUMBER IS INCREASING. THE NEED TO SOLVE CASES MORE EFFECTIVELY IS PRESSING IN THE CONTEXT OF EQUITY AND EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE AS VIOLENCE IN TUCSON DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTS COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. TPD AIMS TO ADOPT INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY TO TACKLE THE ESCALATING RATES OF GRC AND ENHANCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INVESTIGATIONS. TPD IS SEEKING TO USE CUTTING-EDGE, NON-RELATIONAL DATABASES TO CONNECT PEOPLE, PLACES, AND SOCIETAL PROBLEMS ACROSS LATENT NETWORKS AND STRATEGICALLY DEPLOY INVESTIGATIVE RESOURCES TO DISRUPT THE MOST AT-RISK CONNECTIONS. TPD'S OBJECTIVE IS TO ENHANCE ITS SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS AND NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING CAPABILITY BY INTEGRATING BOTH VECTOR AND GRAPH DATABASES, THEREBY IDENTIFYING CASE-RELEVANT INFORMATION THAT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE GONE UNNOTICED. THE PROJECT WILL SPAN THREE YEARS AND HAVE THREE MAIN GOALS. FIRST, IT WILL TEST THE UTILITY OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO CONNECT UNSTRUCTURED AND DISPARATE CRIMINAL INTELLIGENCE DATA, SUPPORT SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS, AND DESIGN MACHINE LEARNING SOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT GRC INVESTIGATIONS. SECOND, THE PROPOSAL WILL HELP TO PROVIDE CLEARER EVIDENCE OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY DERIVED INTELLIGENCE AND THE DISRUPTION OF CRIMINAL NETWORKS. THIRD, THE PROPOSAL WOULD ADVANCE THE STATE OF POLICING PRACTICE, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND SCIENCE BY DEVELOPING PROTOCOLS AND THRESHOLDS FOR APPLYING THE NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO PEOPLE AND PLACES. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS LAB, A RESEARCH ENTERPRISE HEADED BY SOCIAL SCIENTISTS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF BEST PRACTICES AND EVALUATIONS. THE PROJECTED RESULTS OF THE PROJECT INVOLVE A RISE IN EFFECTIVE GRC CLEARANCE RATES, INCREASED EFFICIENCY IN INVESTIGATIVE RESOURCE ALLOCATION, AND A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE EQUITABILITY OF MACHINE LEARNING TECHNOLOGY. THE PROJECT WILL SERVE THE COMMUNITY OF TUCSON AND PARTICULARLY THE COMMUNITIES OF COLOR THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY SUFFER FROM VIOLENCE. THE INTENDED BENEFICIARIES OF THE PROJECT ARE THE TUCSON COMMUNITY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, WHICH CAN USE THE PROTOCOLS AND THESE THRESHOLDS DEVELOPED IN THE PROJECT TO IMPROVE THEIR POLICING PRACTICES. 		10/1/2023 9/30/2026 Prime $784,380.00

Arizona PINAL COUNTY ARIZONA
PINAL COUNTY HAS SEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN POPULATION GROWTH AND IS THE THIRD LARGEST COUNTY IN ARIZONA WITH A CURRENT GROWTH RATE OF 1.14% AND A 17.12% GROWTH RATE SINCE 2010. THE PINAL COUNTY COMMUNITY HAS EXPERIENCED A PRECIPITOUS INCREASE IN FIREARM RELATED VIOLENT CRIME OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. THE PINAL COUNTY GUN CRIME REDUCTION PROGRAM AIMS TO REDUCE GUN CRIME VIOLENCE AND MAKE COMMUNITIES NOT ONLY IN PINAL COUNTY, BUT ALL OVER THE STATE OF ARIZONA SAFER. MAKING COMMUNITIES SAFER WILL BE ACHIEVED BY OBTAINING A NIBIN TERMINAL AND CREATING A GUN CRIME TASK FORCE TO INVESTIGATE ALL FIREARMS RELATED VIOLENT CRIME. THE PURPOSE OF CREATING A GUN CRIME TASK FORCE WILL BE THE IMMEDIATE COLLECTION, MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS OF CRIME GUN EVIDENCE SUCH AS SHELL CASINGS AND TEST FIRES OF UNLAWFULLY USED FIREARMS RECOVERED IN REAL-TIME, TO IDENTIFY CRIMINAL SHOOTERS, DISRUPT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND PREVENT FUTURE VIOLENCE. THE INFORMATION GATHERED BY USING THE NIBIN TERMINAL CAN THEN BE SHARED IN REAL TIME WITH AGENCIES THROUGHOUT PINAL COUNTY AND THE STATE OF ARIZONA. BY SHARING INFORMATION IN REAL TIME, THIS WILL HELP TO IDENTIFY SUSPECTS AND PREVENT FUTURE CRIMES BY THOSE SUSPECTS. UPON OBTAINING THE NIBIN TERMINAL, THE NIBIN TERMINAL WOULD BE HOUSED AT THE CASA GRANDE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHICH IS CENTRALLY LOCATED IN PINAL COUNTY. SEVERAL OF THE LARGER PINAL COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING A TRAINED NIBIN TECHNICIAN TO PROCESS THEIR FIREARMS RELATED EVIDENCE. FURTHERMORE, THE TERMINAL WOULD BE AVAILABLE NOT TO JUST AGENCIES IN PINAL COUNTY, BUT TO ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL AGENCY UPON REQUEST. OBTAINING A NIBIN TERMINAL WILL BENEFIT NOT ONLY THE CITIZENS OF PINAL COUNTY BY REDUCING VIOLENT GUN CRIME, IT WILL BENEFIT LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WITH THE SHARING OF INFORMATION AND THE ABILITY TO LINK CRIMES IN DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS. THIS IN TURN WILL ASSIST WITH SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION AND LONGER PRISON SENTENCES FOR VIOLENT OFFENDERS. 		10/1/2023 9/30/2026 Prime $552,424.00
