The International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST) has been awarded a $2,104,510 Cooperative Agreement by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program (CFDA 16.738). The purpose of this multi-year award, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2029, is to enable IADLEST to expand and enhance the National Decertification Index (NDI), a national registry that tracks the revocation of law enforcement officer certifications or licenses due to misconduct. The funding will allow IADLEST to create and implement an interactive database system to facilitate stakeholder contributions and queries, with improved security, reporting, and functionality. This initiative supports the national emphasis on law enforcement reform and oversight, providing an invaluable tool for background investigators to detect and deter the movement of problematic officers across jurisdictions.
