Implementation

Building a Successful Feedback Process

When properly implemented, feedback mechanisms can enhance communication and collaboration among CGIC stakeholders. A strong feedback process promotes buy-in for the CGIC within the law enforcement agency, with external agencies and stakeholders, and with the community. Internal and external support for a CGIC program allows the CGIC to be effective in removing prolific shooters from the streets and helps solidify program sustainability. Agencies interested in improving their CGIC feedback process should:

  • Develop a mechanism for delivering feedback internally to all parties involved in a successful CGIC case.
  • Explore ways to distribute success stories highlighting NIBIN and the CGIC process.
  • Convene all CGIC stakeholders and reach a consensus on the amount of information and detail to share with the public.
  • Launch a community outreach effort to foster support and trust in gun crime investigations.
  • Implement a public information campaign that will benefit the CGIC by encouraging law enforcement participation in the program and educating the community on its purpose.
