DHS To Create Criminal Investigations Research Centre
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has announced the creation of a new criminal investigations centre to the tune for $40m charge with researching enhanced investigation strategies and techniques in the field of transnational criminal organisations (TCO) and other homeland security threats.
The DHS Centre of Excellence (COE) for Criminal Investigations and Network Analysis will seek to identify new technology-based methods and solutions for predicting and prosecuting criminal activity.
US universities and colleges may apply for a 10-year funding grant through a cooperative agreement to partner with the lead research institution of the COE. Eligible institutions may apply for a $5m grant to work with the chosen lead institution “as an extension of the COE,” reports HS Today. Three colleges or universities are likely to be chosen for the programme.
