On September 12, 2017, the Nebraska Crime Commission contacted a Senior Policy Advisor at NCJA to request with a Tier 1 TTA request. (Tier 1 support involves less intensive problem-solving response that include deliver of information through email, telephone, document dissemination and referral to websites or other resources). The Senior Policy Advisor referred this request to the Program Manager. Resources about the TTA program and a link to the online TTA request form were provided on October 28. The NCJA followed up with the SAA on October 31 for preliminary discussion of state need. A planning call with the SAA partners was held on November 2 to discuss prior efforts and the plan to host a series of meetings in November, December and January. The SAA said it would like NCJA to review the new strategic plan after it had been drafted. Follow-up was conducted on November 26 and again on January 8 regarding progress on developing an action plan. The state had begun work on identifying priorities and would be drafting its goals soon. The SAA would follow up later in the spring as they began to draft its plan.
The state's CJPA attended the 2017 Institute for State Criminal Justice and Public Safety Executives, held Decembe 14-15 in Charleston, SC. During this event, the NCJA provided an overview of this TTA program and discussed ways in which the CJPA and SAA can work collaboratively for CJS plannig and program implementation. The NCJA Program Analyst also reached out to the SAA on December 18 to schedule a phone interview about Byrne JAG investments in the states as part of the Association's biennial study of Byrne JAG Investments. Information about the TTA program was provided during this call as well.
