Effective evidence-based policy and practice is rooted in thoughtful strategic planning. While varied in scope and purpose, strong strategic planning follows specific key steps and includes certain key features. States and communities determine the public safety problem, assess necessary services, identify existing gaps in state and local programs, and develop and implement action plans to address the problem. Clear-eyed data analysis informs the process from planning to implementation and evaluation.
A sector-based employment approach brings employers from the same industry together with educators, workforce development agencies, and others to address labor shortages and prepare job seekers for work and career advancement. With a sector-based approach, employers can identify the skills that are valued most in a given industry.

This webinar is for corrections, workforce development, and education agencies interested in improving the employment outcomes of people with criminal records.

States and communities both play an important role in addressing racial and ethnic disparities. However, many jurisdictions struggle with the question, “We have the data – now what?” During this Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) webinar, attendees will learn more about the Center for Children’s Law and Policy (CCLP) and their work with states and localities to implement data-driven reforms that achieve measurable reductions in racial and ethnic disparities in the juvenile justice system.
Working in law enforcement, while incredibly rewarding, can at times also be equally stressful.
And then, there’s events like the Pulse Nightclub Shooing in Orlando, Florida.
Or Sandy Hook Elementary, in Newtown, Connecticut.
Our immediate thoughts, of course, are with the victims and their families, and how this horrifying event will forever change their lives.
But what’s not often talked about, is how such events also impact – and continue to impact – the lives of the first responders who help the victims of these tragedies.
