Secondly, the grant seeks to increase analytical capacity by training law enforcement executives to effectively utilize crime analysts’ products for daily deployments and strategic planning. Lastly, it focuses on delivering evidence-based violence reduction strategies, assisting jurisdictions with high violent crime rates by connecting them with effective approaches and DOJ services.

| Description: | This FY 2013 competitive grant announcement focuses on provision of training and technical assistance (TTA) to state and local law enforcement and crime prevention efforts targeting emerging crime. Successful applicants will develop and deliver TTA in three categories to improve the functioning of the criminal justice system. The categories are: Educating the 21st Century Law Enforcement Officer; Increasing Analytical Capacity: Training for the Law Enforcement Executive; and Delivery of Evidenced-Based Violence Reduction Strategies. First, todays law enforcement professionals need to be prepared not only tactically but also physically, emotionally, and mentally to respond to and survive day-to-day duties while at the same time being proactive in the prevention and identification of crime. Law enforcement agencies should maintain a culture of learning, critical thinking, open mindedness, tolerance, and healthy curiosity. In some circumstances there is also a need to re-instill a sense of, and commitment to, the purpose and nobility of the policing profession to ensure an absolute service approach. Second, law enforcement executives should be well versed as to what they should expect from crime analysts within their department and crime analysts should understand what products and reports are most useful in decision making. Knowledgeable policing executives and managers use analysis products to inform their daily deployments, tackle long-term chronic crime problems, and conduct threat assessments that guide their strategy development sessions. In other agencies, disconnects exist between the executive and the analyst. If the analytical function is underutilized, it may not play a role in daily deployment, it may not be used to inform problem-solving, and it may be ignored in long-term planning. Third, there are many effective violent crime control strategies. Delivery of technical assistance to support jurisdictions who are struggling with a disproportionate level of violent crime is a priority for BJA. Through this program, BJA will provide an opportunity for decisionmakers from some of the nations communities struggling with high rates of violence to learn about the best evidence-based approaches to addressing violent crime. BJA will work closely with these jurisdictions to provide valuable information about BJA and other DOJ services that can be of assistance in reducing and preventing violent crime as well as put those communities in direct contact with TTA providers who can develop more long term relationships in the strategic selection and deployment of violent crime reduction programs and practices. This grant announcement solicits applications from providers to deliver nationwide TTA. It is not soliciting applications from individual jurisdictions to receive funding, training, or technical assistance from BJA. |
