Violence Reduction Network: National Training and Technical Assistance Program

The Violence Reduction Network (VRN) is a comprehensive program created by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), to leverage existing DOJ resources to deliver strategic, intensive training and technical assistance (TTA) in an "all-hands" approach to reduce violence in some of the country's most violent cities. The program is site-specific and designed to complement existing local antiviolence efforts in participating sites by providing requested training and technical assistance resources in a systematic way.
