The Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions, in partnership with the Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), established the National ERPO Resource Center (ERC) in 2023. The ERC is a training and technical assistance (TTA) hub designed to support states and localities with the implementation of their ERPO programs to reduce gun violence and save lives.

This is part of a monthly program for lawyers engaged in post-conviction innocence work, both prosecutors and defense lawyers.
