Please join the Smart Policing Initiative (SPI) webinar, “Basics of Evaluation for Practitioners,” on Wednesday, February 11 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST. This webinar will describe the key components of SPI in the context of research and evaluation. In addition, the webinar will review different types of evaluation and data collection, and how evaluation fits into the problem-solving process (i.e., the SARA model).
Dr. Natalie Kroovand Hipple, SPI Subject Matter Expert and assistant professor in the Department of Criminal Justice at Indiana University, will be the presenter for this webinar. She will address how to assess the evaluability of an intervention, including key questions to consider and possible obstacles to conducting an evaluation. She will also discuss examples of SPI evaluations which occurred in the Philadelphia, PA; Los Angeles, CA; and Reno, NV SPI sites. Guest speakers from SPI sites will accompany Dr. Hipple to speak about their first-hand experiences in evaluation
