Scholarship Support

Shawano requested scholarship travel support for two people to attend the 2024 Professionalizing Law Enforcement Community Engagement Training (PLECET) Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. The conference is being held May 2 – 5. This training will help bolster their community engagement efforts as it relates to drug-related crime by building even stronger relationships with community members. Shawano will pay for the training registration fee, but is asking for travel support.

Grantees will receive training and practical information and provide best practices on responses to substance use disorders and overdose prevention that prioritize prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction.

The event serves as an opportunity for COSSUP grantees to further the goals of the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program to support effective local, state, and tribal responses to illicit substance use in order to reduce overdose deaths, promote public safety, and support access to treatment and recovery services in the criminal justice system.

Our 44th conference will highlight methods of genealogy research and explore the history of ancestors in the United States and the Caribbean. This will give persons an opportunity to learn how to research their ancestors and to identify their stories in and beyond enslavement, to highlight Reconstruction and beyond in the United States and pre and post emancipation in the Caribbean.
