Training and technical assistance

Taking place December 4, 2019, at 3 p.m. ET, this webinar, hosted by BJA National Training and Technical Assistance Center, focuses on the issues district attorneys face while prosecuting mass shootings cases. Register to participate in the webinar.

With funding support from BJA, the National Center for Victims of Crime has launched the PSN Training and Technical Assistance Portal to help PSN task forces integrate victim services into their work. The site features victim-centered, trauma-informed materials for service providers and law enforcement officials who work with victims of violent crime.

With support from BJA, the Police Executive Research Forum conducted a multi-year project to assess homicide investigation practices in five cities: Baltimore, Cleveland, Houston, Miami, and Pittsburgh. This report summarizes the lessons learned from those studies.

In support of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) programs throughout the country, the Attorney General announced awards of almost $28 million in grant funding to combat violent crime through PSN and another $3 million for training and technical assistance to develop and implement violent crime reduction strategies and enhance services and resources for victims of violent crime.
