On July 23, 2024, a TTA Needs Assessment meeting conducted via zoom with Grantee Menominee for TTA Needs Assessment review. Included in the meeting was Project partner, TJI, and from Menominee PD Office, Martina Gauthier, and Mary James. The Team reviewed all of the answers on the call to complete the TTA Needs Assessment and asked clarifying questions to get more information on specific needs, training, resources that would be helpful, current status of project goals, and planning. Team will get together to come up with a work plan and/or have an additional meeting to follow-up. The following is the snapshot of the TTA Needs Assessment areas for priority focus: Codes and Policies to support Public Defender’s Office/Public Defense; Rules of criminal procedure; Restorative practices/alternatives to incarceration – interested in trainings to support this ; and Assistance with Grant Management – Programmatic and Fiscal. Also, Job Descriptions for Criminal Defense and Re-entry Program Staff; Tribal Code and Policy; Bond scheduling resources – maybe some Tribal specific stuff; Public Defender/Pro Se (Really hesitant to put anything online as advice – this is low priority so will have to think about this more); Diversionary, Alternative or Traditional courts/forums. Webinar/Podcast: Appellate Courts; and Diversion from and alternatives to incarceration; Publications: Same topics as above -- even informing people of basic guidelines to get services, will be assigning intern to this but happy to see any sort of publications or resources we can share. TTA Methods: Site Visit – would like to visit with a Tribe that has just started their PD program and have criminal jurisdiction
Webinars – like these because they are recorded and can go back and watch them when they have time; Peer-to-peer virtual learning– yes, would be really helpful.
