Welcome to CAPS at The University of Alabama
CAPS is committed to using state of the art technologies for research, software development
and outreach to improve public safety, with special emphasis on three major focus areas:
- Law Enforcement
- Homeland Security
- Transportation Safety
CAPS was formerly known as CARE Research and Development Laboratory (CRDL). On April 17, 2009
the University of Alabama Board of Trustees unanimously voted to establish the Center for Advanced
Public Safety. CRDL became CAPS at that time. Housed in Shelby Hall on the University of Alabama
campus in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, CAPS is affiliated with the Computer Science Department in the UA
College of Engineering.
