LECTAC (Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Advisory Council) Priorities

Working to strengthen ties between NIJ and the law enforcement and corrections community, LECTAC reviews and analyzes the present and future technological needs of the criminal justice system. The Council uses this information to recommend research and development priorities to NIJ and advises NLECTC on equipment testing, the creation of standards, user guidelines, and technical reports. At the same time, it relays information about NIJ's technology programs and products back to the criminal justice community for its review.
