Implementing Joint Battlespace Awareness ISR Integration Capability (JBAIIC) Test Bed Architecture: A Crime Reduction Strategy in Salinas, California
Abstract
Planning, executing, and monitoring Command and Control (C2) is difficult to accomplish, yet much has been learned in terms of applying improved technology to achieve it. This knowledge seems directly transferable from the battlefield to any environment requiring improved C2. This thesis demonstrates how DoD Information Technology architecture can be used to enhance the C2 of a medium-sized urban police department (PD) struggling to reduce gang violence in the face of significant resource reductions. Using a field demonstration, researchers show how a Common Tactical Picture (CTP) can improve officer effectiveness at the Salinas Police Department (SPD) in Salinas, California. Upon completion of the field demonstration, comparisons are made between the existing information and communications architecture of SPD and a baseline Joint Battlespace Awareness ISR Integration Capability (JBAIIC) test bed architecture to identify capability gaps that limit SPD's ability to more effectively combat violent crime. Based on this analysis, a Technology Implementation Plan (TIP) is created that identifies courses of action available to SPD so that upcoming technological initiatives can be implemented and potentially transferred to other municipal Law Enforcement agencies that need to extend their own limited resources.
