Crime Prevention

We are requesting assistance from your Crime Analysis On Demand program. We are currently in the process of signing a settlement agreement with the US Dept. Of Justice Civil Rights Division and will need to improve our ability to compile and analyze crime related data as a part of that agreement. Additionally, the agreement will place significant strain on our existing analytic resources so any training/advice on how to streamline our current operations will be valuable.

We are seeking the assistance of BJA’s quality technical assistance/training to help us accomplish this goal.

Two Texas Christian University Professors will handle the research, but what we need is assistance for our police partners who have crime analysts but need additional training.

The City of Miami Gardens requests assistance regarding its violent crime problem. We are aware of a program run by the Los Angeles Police Department called Operation LASER/Smart Policing. We have read a Spotlight document on the Smart Policing website about the program and think it is a good fit for our city.

GLT needs to develop a wellness-based strategic and comprehensive justice system, built upon the strength of individual components and bringing together our young Public Safety Department (established 2011) and Tribal Court (established 2010) with our more mature Health and Human Services (HHS) Department. Each of the three departments, Public Safety, the Court and HHS serves very specific needs of our citizens; yet there is not a mechanism in place to coordinate services.
