The NCJA Program Manager followed up the next day to provide information about the TTA program and services we provide to help states meet the strategic planning requirements under the new Byrne JAG solicitation. The discussion focused on the state's needs and ways in which the TTA program can support the SAA's efforts to develop a comprehensive plan.
