NCJA is supporting BJA in convening the State Administering Agencies, Governors’ Criminal Justice Policy Advisors, state corrections officials, and representatives from 10 Public Safety Partnership (PSP) sites (formerly known as Violence Reduction Network (VRN) sites). The meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 2 in Long Beach, CA. About 70 people are expected to attend.
Baton Rouge, Denver, Langley Park, Minneapolis (Little Earth), Madison, and Meridian BCJI sites attended the Smart Suite Fellows Academy in July 2017. Jason Cooper attended as well and hosted a conversation between sites.
TA leads conducted needs assessments for each of the ten FY16 sites in order to create a baseline of TTA for each individual site. TA lead documented their findings and produced a report (memo) for BJA and site.
