What are agencies asking for help with most? Across more than 1,700 requests for Collaborative Reform Initiative Technical Assistance Center (CRI-TAC) assistance, agencies identified leadership, officer wellness, peer intervention, community engagement, and organizational culture as top priorities.

For those who doubt official police records, this report finding a 25% drop in violent crime uses survey data from 240,000 people across the US. This is an unprecedented crime decline.
According to preliminary estimates from @BJSgov's NCVS, violent crime declined by 25% in 2025. It's another data point joining many others indicating a massive crime drop over the past few years. bjs.ojp.gov/library/publicat…

Her advocacy helped Oklahoma clarify voting rights for people who have completed their sentences. Read Tammy’s story in @TheOkEagle: theokeagle.org/2026/10/02/go…

If you're a police chief, public defender, or corrections director, how do you thoughtfully assess whether to use AI?
This is how.

Changing the standard for judging police deadly force (🇺🇸) from “reasonable” to “necessary in defense of human life” had no effect on how many people were killed by police (as proponents claimed) or on how many officers were injured (as opponents claimed)

The College-in-3 trend is accelerating. Early movers experimenting with a 3 year bachelor’s degree were less selective schools like Merrimack or Weber State. Then states like OH, OK, and KS told their flagship universities to pilot the 90 credit degree. Now even NYU is doing it.

French protestors want higher public spending, wages, subsidies and pensions. Meanwhile France has gov’t spending of 57% of GDP (among highest of Western countries), deficits of 5% of GDP, 10 year bond rate >5%, and a currency they don’t control. I don’t understand how this ends.
