Training and Technical Assistance
The BJA National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC) supports communities and corrections facilities with reentry programs, probation and supervision officer safety, and partnership building among corrections officials, law enforcement representatives, and community members. Visit the NTTAC site to find upcoming events, request training and technical assistance, and more.
Additionally, funded and administered by BJA, the National Reentry Resource Center (NRRC) is a vital source of information and guidance in reentry. In addition to developing resources, the NRRC provides individualized and strategic guidance to recipients of BJA grants in order to maximize their efforts to reduce recidivism and help people succeed in their communities after they return from incarceration.
