March 29, 2022 Department of Justice Launches Law Enforcement Knowledge Lab
Los Angeles, California: Since early 2021, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has been developing, consolidating, and enhancing resources with a laser focus on supporting constitutional policing and public safety. On April 27, 2022, Bureau of Justice Assistance Director Karhlton Moore and Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta announced the official launch of DOJ’s National Law Enforcement Knowledge Lab (or “Knowledge Lab”), at the Los Angeles Police Department. Noting that the Knowledge Lab requires input from stakeholders, practitioners, community members, and academia, the Department of Justice convened the launch to engage stakeholders in identifying specific issues and resources to establish a foundation and drive the future of the Knowledge Lab.
