The CCID Office for Interoperability and Compatibility is lead by Karen Ray. This program area works with emergency response communities and federal partners to improve local, tribal, state, and federal emergency preparedness and response. It also strengthens interoperable wireless communications and improves effective information sharing by developing tools and technologies, to enhance overall planning and coordination at all levels of government through both voice and data. The importance of the Office for Interoperability and Compatibility is to help emergency responders manage incidents and exchange information in real time.

===Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Investigative Technologies===

This progam area is lead and run by John Price. This area researches developes technologies that aid in the discovery, investigation, and the prosecution of terrorists and criminals. There are also separate programs and activities within the CID Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Investigative Technologies Program Area.
One is the Digital Ink Library Project. This project is lead by Shane Cullen and was successfully transitioned to the United States Secret Service (USSS) in January 2009. The CID worked with United States Secret Service(USSS)forensic investigators to enhance mission effectiveness by digitizing the complete archive of ink samples. As a result, ink sample matching takes seconds as opposed to hours or days, and irreplaceable inks remain secure.

Another project is the RealEyes Project. RealEyes is a cutting-edge technology that enables personal digital assistant (PDA) devices or cell phones to send real-time video and geospatial coordinates, view live video from a fixed or mobile camera, control fixed cameras, and immediately stream video from a PDA.
