This BJA grant provides training and technical assistance (TTA) for states and subrecipients implementing firearm crisis intervention and extreme risk protection order (ERPO) programs. It aims to fund three TTA providers supporting grantees of the FY 2024 Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) and Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) programs. This includes leveraging problem-solving courts—like drug, mental health, and veterans’ courts—to address underlying needs of individuals with gun offenses and prevent further violence. The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022 expanded JAG to cover these critical crisis intervention efforts, requiring reporting and evaluation.

| Description: | With this solicitation, BJA seeks to fund three training and technical assistance (TTA) providers to support grantees selected through a companion solicitation titled “BJA FY 2024 Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) Formula Solicitation.” The companion solicitation provides funding to states and subrecipients for the creation and/or implementation of state crisis intervention court proceedings, extreme risk protection order (ERPO) programs, and related gun violence reduction programs/initiatives. These programs can include efforts to leverage the capacity and expand the scope of existing problem-solving courts, such as drug courts, mental health courts, and veterans’ treatment courts, to assess the risks and needs of persons with gun offenses and provide research-driven approaches to address their underlying needs to prevent further violence. In addition, this TTA program will also support recipients of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program, as the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022 modified the JAG program statute to include a program area for the implementation of state crisis intervention court proceedings and related programs or initiatives including, but not limited to, mental health courts, drug courts, veterans courts, and extreme risk protection order programs, and it added a reporting and evaluation component for grants awarded for crisis intervention programs or initiatives. |
