JSS staff and consultants conducted onboarding meetings with 6 Category 3-5 grantees. JSS teams, each consisting of two leads and one analyst, onboarded every BJA Category 1-5 grantee through video conferences, customized presentations, and facilitated discussions. This ensured alignment of expectations between grantee needs and TTA provision.

JSS reviewed and aligned existing BWC policies with the comprehensive policy scorecard and assisted new sites in developing their policies. JSS staff have received 29 policies from grantees. To date, 23 of these policies have been reviewed by the JSS team. For quality control, at least two staff members independently review each policy using a modified policy scorecard that measures the key requirements. JSS collaborates with subject matter experts to assist grantees who fall short on 1 to 5 elements.

Through this activity, JSS supports the micro-grantees to develop a comprehensive body worn camera program with the use of federal funds. JSS ensures that all requirements and regulations are adhered to and that the program is comprehensive in nature.
