Making Canadian Police and Public Safety Provider Interoperability a Priority
The Informatics Committee of the Canadian Association of the Chiefs of Police (CACP) in conjunction with Canadian Police Research Centre (CPRC) is pleased to announce a new initiative that aims to improve interoperability between and amongst Canadian police agencies and public safety service providers.
A group dedicated to furthering Canadian interoperability was founded earlier this year to bring together representatives from public safety, industry, academia, government and non-governmental organizations to help shape the direction of research and development activities related to interoperability amongst Canadian public safety providers. Known as the Canadian Interoperability Technology Interest Group (CITIG), an important part of the group's work involves identifying and funding interoperability research. In that regard, a call for proposed areas of research and/or development is now open.
CACP members, as well as any public sector employees of a Canadian public safety sector agency, are invited to submit a proposal. The current call for projects closes October 31, 2007. The simple two-page application form, as well as details about the funding eligibility and criteria, can be found on the CITIG Web site at www.cprc.org/citig .
Any inquiries can be sent to citig@cprc.org. |
