Continental Breakfast and Microsoft Platinum Sponsor Session: Fusion Framework - Enhancing Fusion Center Capabilities
Microsoft Corporation and ESRI have joined forces to develop an innovative set of technical capabilities designed to help public safety and homeland security professionals more effectively identify and help prevent threats posed by organized crime, gangs, drug cartels, and terrorists while strengthening the ability of government to prevent, prepare for and respond to natural disasters and other events. Through close collaboration, these two industry leaders are proud to jointly introduce the Fusion Core Solution, a public safety and homeland security solution architecture. The solution leverages the best capabilities from both organizations’ software products in a simple-to-use, easily configurable solution that provides seven key capabilities for municipal, county, regional, state, or federal intelligence and fusion centers that are easily adaptable to other public safety sector information fusion and collaboration needs. Presenters: Colin Nurse, Chief Technology Officer, U.S. State and Local Government, Microsoft Public Sector Joseph Rozek II, Executive Director for Homeland Security and Terrorism, Microsoft Corp.

8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.
Opening Plenary Panel: The Relationship Between Economic Conditions and Crime Rates – Or Not
Questions are emerging in criminology that require interdisciplinary thought on the pervasive problem of crime. Why do crime rates change from city to city? Do larger economic forces effect crime at the neighborhood level in these cities? Do criminal justice policies effect neighborhoods differently across the same metropolitan area? Why are some neighborhoods consistently crime ridden and others are not? A recent example that embodies all of these questions is the foreclosure crisis. Some places that are reeling from high volumes of foreclosures are also experiencing subsequent changes in crime patterns and rates as a result. Yet others cities are not experiencing either. It is similar to the drop in crime rates in the 90s when many metropolitan areas saw significant reductions in crime yet others remained stagnant or got worse. This session will explore the intersection of thought and research from criminology, economics and geography to provide a framework to answer these and future questions. Next, it will discuss the idea of geographic variation across metropolitan areas toward identifying indicators of crime that are more general to place. Finally, it will discuss the data needs and issues that would be required to conduct research within the proposed framework. Moderator: Panelists: John Farmer Jr., Dean, Rutgers School of Law - Newark Lawrence Brown, Distinguished Professor, Department of Geography, The Ohio State University H. Naci Mocan, Ourso Distinguished Chair of Economics, Department of Economics, Louisiana State University Richard Rosenfeld, Curators Professor, Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Missouri, St. Louis

Mortgage Fraud and Home Foreclosures: Community Impacts and Collaborative Responses

The number of vacant and abandoned properties in communities across the U.S. has increased, and mortgage fraud and foreclosures are reported to play a key role in the issue.

The Critical Role of Fusion Centers in Protecting the “Home Town”

Intelligence is a very powerful public safety tool. It has the capacity to provide the leadership of state and local law enforcement agencies with an understanding of the public safety environment of the community in order to develop strategic and tactical responses to threats and violence from street gangs, guns and narcotics traffickers or international terrorist organizations. The 72 Fusion Centers (FC) that are now operational are providing services to support our national effort against terrorism, but equally important these centers are providing information that assists chiefs and sheriffs in making critical decisions on how to best prevent criminal behavior. This panel will share examples of how FCs are supporting chiefs and sheriffs in the everyday challenges to safety in our communities. The representatives on this panel will share how the FCs, working with the chiefs and sheriffs, play a critical role in protecting our communities.

Sex Offender Registry and Notification Act (SORNA) – How States and Tribal Governments are Implementing Strategies to Protect Communities
Grand Ballroom I
SORNA has mandated complex requirements for states and tribal governments concerning registration and community notification of sex offenders. Many jurisdictions have found that the cost of compliance exceeds the financial penalties for noncompliance, but are implementing strategies to meet the “spirit” of the law.

Justice Reinvestment: Saving Funds, Lives and Communities
Grand Ballroom J
In the past 20 years, state spending on corrections has grown at a rate faster than nearly any other state budget item. Despite increasing corrections expenditures, recidivism rates remain high with half of all persons released from prison returning within three years. Further, in every state, there are a handful of “high-stakes” communities to which most people released from prison return. The goals of justice reinvestment are increasing public safety, reducing spending on corrections and improving conditions in the neighborhoods to which most people released from prison return. The rational, datadriven strategy of justice reinvestment holds promise for providing policy-makers the opportunity to break the cycle of mass incarceration and apply diminishing resources in an effective and efficient fashion.

The Next Pandemic: Are You Ready?
Grand Ballroom I
Since 1900, there have been three pandemics, the last of which occurred in 1968. It is only a matter of time before the next pandemic hits and we can expect the H1N1 virus (originally named the Swine flu) to return with a vengeance during the approaching flu season. Given the historical impact that pandemics have had in terms of illness and deaths, and the tremendous impact it will have on the administration of justice, it is vital that state leaders prepare and assist other criminal justice stakeholders to plan for the next outbreak. Participants in this workshop will hear from national and state policy makers about what they can do and what tools and resources are available to prepare and save lives during the next outbreak.
