In 2007 [[Minnesota]] led the way to repaved the (N.I.C.) [[National Institute of Corrections]] communications nationally. Minnesota Governor [[Tim Pawlenty]] was joined by hundreds of Minnesota’s police and probation officers at the Minnesota state capital. In the last five years there has been a lack of communications regarding offenders and strategies shared outside of each of the fifty states. This new restructuring will make it easier for all of law enforcement and corrections agencies to get up to date data regarding offender, crimes, and criminal patterns. Governor Tim Pawlenty said, “There is no room for errors or a lack of good communications nationally for law enforcement or corrections. Minnesota will lead the way nationally with helping to restructure the N.I.C. to benefit all fifty states with connecting the data throughout the county.” Minnesota Officer James Harper a [[U.S. Attorney General]] Award winner said, “The time has come with the N.I.C. to make a change and to make a good system better.” Minnesota Officer Michael Satter another U.S. Attorney General Award winner said, “I deal with some of the criminals you see on the news and some you never heard of, each offender, each time, I know I made a difference. We will make the N.I.C. the national force it once was, in the criminal justice system things will never be perfect but they can be acceptable.” [[Minnesota]] officers James Harper and Mike Satter both are members of the N.I.C. who are excited about the awakened national power and their role in it. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty will be a top member in the N.I.C. after the restructuring in late 2007. The United States Attorney General will be in charge of the N.I.C. in late 2007.
