The Strategic Planning Crash Course combines the fundamentals of Strategic Planning 101 with the more advanced components of Strategic Planning 201 for a two day in-person learning experience.

The Strategic Planning 201 workshop aims to help State Administering Agencies (SAAs) and their staff build upon the fundamentals of strategic planning introduced in the Strategic Planning 101 workshops. Topics include a deeper exploration of stakeholder engagement and relationship building, the utilization of data throughout the strategic planning process, from setting priorities to evaluation processes and incorporating promising practices and evidence-informed practices. This workshop involves facilitation, discussion and activities to help participants delve into topics.

The grant manager at Madison Police Department contacted CHJ requesting information on to complete the PMT report for BJA. Specifically, they wanted to know how to respond to a question with data points that were not identified in their grant application.

This onsite meeting is part of the training and technical assistance provided under the NCJA Strategic Planning TTA (see accompanying TTA entry). The meeting is tentatively schedule for March 4-6, 2018 at the Alabama Department of Economics and Community Affairs.The planned agenda will include a meeting with staff on Monday to prep and practice for a series of town hall meetings across 7 regions of the state.

Outreach about the Strategic Planning TTA program during several events attended by state agencies. At the two-day Institute for State Criminal Justice and Public Safety Executives, co-hosted by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) in December, 2017, SAAs participated in a breakout session in which participants were given an overview of the TTA progra and learned of ways that CJPAs and SAAs can work collaboratively towards CJS plannig and program implementation.

Although crime control policy and program development processes are increasingly being informed by scientific evidence, identifying and adopting what works is only part of what’s needed to realize positive outcomes. Evidence-based programs and practices (EBPs) still have to be implemented with fidelity and integrity in order to be successful. Unfortunately, implementation is not an easy task. Implementation science, however, can help practitioners tackle implementation challenges so the promise of EBPs can be more fully realized.

The Indiana state agency administrator (SAA) attended the Institute for State Criminal Justice and Public Safety Executives, held December 14 - 15, 2017 in Charleston, SC. This event, co-hosted with the National Governors Association, included attendance at the SAA breakout session were the NCJA provided information about the SAA TTA program, options for training, and online resources that will be available.

The NCJA hosted this regional training as part of the NCJA Strategic Planning Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program. The purpose of this training was to provide SAAs with hands-on TTA on the elements of effective strategic planning, data analysis for policy and program evaluation, implementation of evidence-based practices, and coordination with other components of the criminal and juvenile justice system in order to meet the FY2019 requirement of a comprehensive statewide strategic plan as detailed in the Justice for All Reauthorization Act (JFARA).
