The Department of Justice is committed to supporting law enforcement officer health and wellness—healthy officers are critical to building healthy and safe communities. This collection assembles several dozen articles, podcasts, infographics, trainings, webinars, and other publications produced (mainly by the COPS Office and Bureau of Justice Assistance) in recent years dealing with all aspects of law enforcement officer and family wellness from financial literacy to substance use disorders to preventing or recovering from the suicide death of a colleague. It is hoped that these resources will help law enforcement agencies assemble or enrich their wellness-focused programming.
Policing the Connected World: Using Social Network Analysis in Police-Community Partnerships
Law enforcement agencies are increasingly using social network analysis (SNA) to understand the organization of gangs and other criminal networks, to identify their relationships, and to analyze data that can be used to focus crime prevention efforts. This report details the implementation of a SNA program developed by the COPS Office in partnership with Yale University. Created as part of a violence prevention initiative in New Haven, Connecticut, the Project Longevity SNA program emphasizes the value of community collaboration when gathering critical information such as the location and membership of these groups.
