Welcome from NAWLEE President
Anna Richardson Griffin Welcome to Rhode Island!
On behalf of the Massachusetts Association of Women Law Enforcement and the
National Association of Law Enforcement Executives, it is my privilege and honor
to welcome you to the NAWLEE 24th Annual Conference – Issues in Contemporary Policing.
As we focus on advancing our careers, and improving our profession, we are also excited to forge new
relationships and share the magic of NAWLEE from the west coast to the east coast and abroad. The goal of
every conference is always to provide a collaborative, inspirational environment wherein innovation and cre-
ativity grow, authentic life-long relationships are built, and together we impact the future of our profession.
Our partnership with MAWLE has helped us achieve that goal.
Conferences are never possible without the countless hours and dedication of both NAWLEE and MAWLE’s
Executive Boards, our own Executive Director, and the numerous volunteers who spend their own free time
contributing to this organization because of the passion they have for the mission of NAWLEE. Our sincerest
appreciation to all those involved in making this happen. It is our hope that each and every one of you feels
the magic that have infected us all at one time or another through our NAWLEE affiliation and that you take
that feeling back to your own law enforcement communities and motivate others to join our growing
organization with a commitment to LEAD, INSPIRE and MENTOR!
Enjoy Rhode Island!
Sincerely ,
Anna Richardson Griffin, President

CRI-TAC Collaborative Reform Initiative – Technical Assistance Center
Do you have a project you would like to get started or policy to review? Thinking about using data to drive decision making? Are you considering increasing the community engagement for your agency? CRI-TAC is here to help.
CRI-TAC is made possible through a grant from the COPS Office. The International Association of Chiefs of Police is managing this cutting edge technical assistance program. NAWLEE is a part of this effort and meets weekly with IACP, The Fraternal Order of Police, Major City Chiefs, National Tactical Officers Association, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement, FBI National Academy Associates, National Sheriff’s Association, and International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators to discuss requests made by police departments from across the county.
The process to request assistance is simple. You can go to the CRI-TAC website to submit an inquiry and then IACP will schedule an intake call. The partners will help you with creating a project scope. IACP then handles the approval process. All of the services are free.

Dear Friends and Colleagues
On behalf of the Massachusetts Association of Women in Law Enforcement, it is with great excitement that I welcome you to Providence, RI for our “Issues in Contemporary Policing” Conference co-hosted by the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives and the Massachu-setts Association of Women in Law Enforcement. . We are very grateful that you took time out of your day to spend with us and for your continued support of women in law enforcement.
This year has been a year of excitement for MAWLE. In 2017
MAWLE applied for the Police Associations Leading 21st Century Policing Grant, in which we were
10 out of 250 applicants from across the United States chosen to receive the grant. With this grant
we were able to create a mentoring program, which we partnered with members of the Boston Po-
lice Department to create an annual summer camp called “Summer with Women in Blue” that has
partners several women working in the law enforcement community with 30 middle school girls
looking to pursue a career in law enforcement. This grant has also allowed us to provide varies
levels of free training for our members.
In May we held our 7th Annual Spirit of MAWLE Award Ceremony hosted by Babson College Police
Department, in which we continue to recognize the exceptional accomplishments achieved by
women in law enforcement throughout the Commonwealth. We continued our annual holiday
partnerships with local shelters; this year we worked with a women’s shelter Sojourner House and
provided necessary items for four families during the holiday season. Our annual Lt. June Murphy
scholarship, which is granted to a female high school senior continuing her education in criminal
justice was given out to the winner at this year’s Spirit of MAWLE Award. For the first time, we have
partnered with a national women in law enforcement organization. This year also marks the first
time that we have held our annual conference in Rhode Island.
This year’s conference theme “Issues in Contemporary Policing” will provide speakers and training sessions that will pique your interest. Our conference speakers, instructors and participants offer a broad diversity of expertise and experience. In addition to the formal training session, we hope that today will open up discussions on the impact of leadership and mentorship within law enforcement and our local communities.
Welcome again to the conference this year. I encourage you to utilize these four days to reconnect with old friends, colleagues, meet new people and make some meaningful connections that will last you a lifetime.

REAL-TIME, CRIME-FIGHTING
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION Law enforcement's need for sophisticated technology to support fighting and reducing crime is higher than ever. NC4 is proud to pro-vide a new and improved technological tool that gives law enforcement officers (LEOs) access to real-time crime data to accurately pinpoint crimes, patterns, and incidents, not only improving their situational awareness but also their ability to fight crime faster.
NC4 Street Smart® arms officers with critical, real-time crime information while on patrol on our nation’s city streets. This state-of-the-art tool enables officers to share relevant, structured and unstructured information through situation-based bulletins and police discussion boards. The ability to visualize data points on maps and aggregate and share relevant information in real-time, keeps LEOs up-to-speed, informed and protected as they patrol our streets.
Imagine police officers no longer needing to rely on a roll call board, written information on notepads, meeting takeaways, etc. With Street Smart, crime data can be placed in one common operating picture that is updated and accessible around the clock. Having information readily available helps officers to connect-the-dots fast-er and solve crimes more quickly, which helps to reduce the crime rate.

Ina Mae “Tiny Miller Scholarship
Skyy Callice is 5 year a veteran officer with the Aurora, IL Police Depart-
ment. She is currently assigned to the Community Oriented Police Unit.
As a member of this unit, Skyy created a youth development program
called Girls Run the World in an effort to foster connections, education
and prevention initiatives. Skyy wanted to create a platform to highlight
community relations and be a resource for at risk youth. This program
has advanced throughout several high schools now and Skyy is being
asked to create the program in other area schools. The success in the
program is measured by attendance, grades and disciplinary referrals.
This program continues to evolve and Skyy continually looks for ways to
serve her community and the fragile young women in the area schools.
Skyy’s goal is to further her program through other law enforcement
agencies outside the city of Aurora and continue to bridge gaps with the
community and law enforcement.

In December 2018, NAWLEE was pleased to participate in the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Research Summit on Women in Policing. Approximately 100 police leaders representing law enforcement agencies of varying sizes, research institutions, non-profits, foundations, and federal agencies participated in a two-day session. The summit aimed to understand research related to women in policing and to develop a series of additional research questions that will guide future efforts. The summit also served to generate a research agenda of questions that women leaders in the field have identified as priorities in moving the profession forward toward parity.
Last month the meeting report was released
NAWLEE looks forward to future conversa-tions and collaboration with NIJ as we advance with researching topics related to women in policing such as performance, recruitment and retention, promotion, equity, and other issues.
From this effort NAWLEE has launched a partnership with the Justice Clearinghouse to deliver training to NAWLEE members.
NAWLEE Participated in Hate Crimes Summit
NAWLEE was fortunate to be invited to participate in the U.S. Department of Justice Hate Crimes Enforcement and Prevention Initiative roundtable. The roundtable explored successful practices and challenges in identifying, reporting, and tracking hate crimes. The goal of the roundtable was to bring togeth-er law enforcement and other leaders from around the country and to recommend actionable next steps on this crucial issue. Two inspiring presentations were given during the 1.5 day session. The first presentation was shared by Judy and Dennis Shepard whose son Matthew Shepard, was brutally attacked in Laramie, Wyoming, and after six days in a coma died as a result of his injuries. The second presentation was conducted by Pardeep Kaleka whose father was killed during the Sikh temple attack in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Both presentations discussed the heartache and pain resulting from the senseless and unwarranted acts of violence committed because of the feeling of hate toward the victims. The moving presentations provided insight to agencies on how to address hate in the community. The roundtable proceedings included review of material available through the Department of Justice to address hate in communities. A newly designed website has a multitude of resource that can be used to address hate. This link https://www.justice.gov/hatecrimes goes directly to the site. An excellent documentary was presented on the tragedy at of the attack on the Sikh community in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. The documentary shows how the local community finds inspiration, after six worshippers were killed, to come together in the Sikh tradition of forgiveness and faith. Lieutenant Murphy, who was shot 15 times in the attack, joins the mayor and police chief as they forge new bonds with the Sikh community. Young temple members, who were still grieving emerged as leaders in the quest to end the violence. The film was produced in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Justice COPS Office as part of the Not in Our Town: Working Together for Safe, Inclusive Communities Initiative. The film can be viewed here: https://www.niot.org/cops/wakinginoakcreek
