Definition of "Law Enforcement
Organization"
NRLO was given
the opportunity to help refine the existing definition of "Law
Enforcement Organization" used by the Government - particularly by the Law Enforcement
Support Office (LESO), but extending into other
programs - to include
Reserve/Auxiliary/Support Units to be eligible to access existing
Government Funding and Equipment Programs through their
Departments. Below are the current definition and NRLO's
suggested, additional verbiage. When word is received that the final version
of verbiage for the definition has been decided upon
and implemented, this page will reprint the final definition.
Also, links to additional pertinent web sites, forms, and additional
submission information will be listed. Please keep
checking back to get this important information.
Current
Definition of "Law Enforcement Organization": "A government agency or activity whose primary function
is the enforcement of applicable Federal, State, and local laws, and
whose compensated full-time law enforcement officers have powers of
arrest and apprehension. The term is sometimes extended to
include government agencies or activities with law enforcement
responsibilities and with powers of arrest and apprehension
but whose law enforcement officers are not
full-time."
NRLO's
suggested verbiage to the last statement in the
definition: "....... The
term is sometimes extended to include government agencies or
activities with law enforcement responsibilities and with powers of
arrest and apprehension but whose complement of officers
include part-time (paid or unpaid) law enforcement
officers."

NRLO Attended the "7th and 8th Annual
Technologies for Critical Incident
Preparedness
Conference and
Exposition"
(More photographs to
be posted soon)
NRLO was invited
to attend the "7th and 8th
Annual Technologies for Critical Incident Preparedness Conference
and Exposition" (November,
2005, in San Diego, California, and September, 2006, in Atlanta
Georgia) which were presented by the U.S. Department of Justice National Institute
of Justice (NIJ) and were partnered by the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security's
Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T), and the
Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland
Defense. NRLO's Deputy Director Edward R. Morrow attended these
prestigeous and informative conferences on behalf of NRLO Members
and Reserve/Auxiliary/Support Officers across the country.

Director Edward R. Morrow (right) posing with Kenneth Dover (NLECTC-SE Program Manager, Excess Property
Programs) at the "8th Annual Technologies for Critical
Incident Preparedness Conference and Exposition" held in
Atlanta Georgia in September, 2006. Ed said that he was
smiling extra wide as he just had word that
Reserve/Auxiliary/Support Units were now considered eligible
for the LESO
1033 and 1122 Programs.
Conference
speakers included numerous State and local
Public Safety professionals, as well as Federal experts from
the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the U.S. Department of
Defense (DOD).
These unique conferences
focused on the State and local "Public
Safety Responder" and brought together over 1,000
colleagues in Law Enforcement, Fire, Emergency Management, Urban
Search and Rescue and other first responder disciplines to
observe the latest tools and technologies addressing needs in
responding to critical incidents; to participate in roundtable
discussions on these tools and technologies and other issues
critical to their missions; and to hear from colleagues and other
experts about lessons learned in various "response"
scenarios.
As stated in NRLO's
invitations, the objective of these conferences was to allow
attendees to garner a comprehensive understanding of
the Federal government's cutting edge "technology development efforts" on behalf
of State and local responders and of the "Federal funding and assistance currently
available" to the responder community.
Thank you letters have been
written; however, on behalf of NRLO Members and of
Reserve/Auxiliary/Support Law Enforcement Officers nationwide, we at
NRLO would like to take this opportunity to thank the NIJ, the
DOJ, the DHS, and the DOD for the invitation and opportunity to
attend these most informative and
productive conferences.
