Two-and-a-half day intensive in-person training for veterans treatment courts that are in the planning or implementation stage.

Two-day intensive in-person training for veterans treatment courts that have been in operation for two or more years.

JSS VCR-related library contains articles on topics such as, problem-oriented policing, hotspot policing, and various technologies to assist with these strategies. Information about license plate readers (LPRs), real time crime centers (RTCC), gunshot detection systems, and digital forensic software has been collated and added to the library. Research is shared directly with grantees via experts or indirectly through the TTA meetings and webinars.

JSS staff reviews materials and works to continuously disseminate information and links to the Violent Crime Reduction Operations Guide (VCROG).
JSS also works with the grantees to get started on the VCROG, with 33 total VCROG assessment accounts made for grantees (1 per grant site), and eight additional accounts made in this reporting period.

JSS continues to explore and to document digital evidence management integration of BWC footage for use in law enforcement operations, including investigations. This effort is informed by and supports the work of Category 3 grantees.

JSS is developing field-ready training curricula for BWC implementation, and documenting how law enforcement agencies are using BWC footage in training of recruits and for in-service training. This effort is informed by and supports Category 5 Demonstration grantees.

JSS is providing support for the adoption of BWC within correctional agencies, jails and sheriffs’ offices, understanding that their deployment, uses, retention and investigations are significantly different from police agency applications of the technology. This effort supports Category 2 grantees as well as some Category 1 Sheriff's Offices.

Assessing, documenting, and evaluating artificial intelligence (AI) integrations with BWC as it plays a role in tagging videos, creating transcripts, developing drafts of reports, assessing officer performance and enhancing digital evidence management.

JSS developed a comprehensive TTA and research plan for prosecutor grantees. Digital Evidence Management (DEM) encompasses a wide variety of devices, technologies, tools, and data, particularly as they relate to the criminal justice system. For the purposes of this TTA effort, JSS is focusing on the key issues that exist for prosecutor offices.

As part of project, JSS works with micro-grantees to receive request for funds based on invoices for BWCs and supports. JSS reviews the materials for accuracy and completeness, work with the micro-grantee to resolve questions and processes the payments.
