Yes, I think that a distinction could also be made in your discussion about efforts to create a research clearing house, a way to centralize what is known from various agencies. I believe in reviewing some of the earlier materials the committee has heard that there have been discussions of the website CrimeSolutions.gov.
The problem-oriented policing centre also provides a way whereby agencies can pass on small research projects and experiential projects they have completed, and then that is compiled and collated so that other agencies can learn from those examples. I think that's one perhaps relatively inexpensive way to centralize knowledge.
The other format might be more in line with our National Institute of Justice, and ways in which our federal government seeks to fund and support the creation of new knowledge. I think it's important to know that there is a distinction. Certainly, both of those activities are quite important, but in economically challenging environments, funding robustly the creation of new knowledge may be far more challenging. A slightly more austere approach might be simply to create a mechanism by which agencies can share their experiences and best practices with one another.
