Read a new LISC Article on the Impact of the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program across the Country

    November 09, 2015

    The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) recently published “Trust is the defining safety issue of our time,” an article that covers the impact of the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (BCJI) Program in neighborhoods across the United States. The BCJI Program is a Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) initiative supporting data-driven, comprehensive responses to crime in some of the country’s most troubled communities.

    LISC was chosen as the training and technical assistance (TTA) provider for the program and has since been working to nurture partnerships among law enforcement, residents, and others in order to fight crime. With LISC providing TTA and mentorship, the BCJI Program now backs crime reduction efforts in 60 cities and rural areas. This fall, another 14 neighborhood sites were added, bringing the federal investment to more than $40 million since 2012.
