Administration/Management

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is seeking the assistance of the National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC) in procuring four SMCOV Inclusive Leadership Courses.

The Inclusive Leadership Courses are being sought to provide a comprehensive leadership training regimen for command level employees within our agency. It is intended to develop agency leaders in formulating and sustaining community outreach programs. The program strengths will complement the Blue Courage training program currently being instructed agency wide.

We are beginning an upgrade of our computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and Mobile systems for the Mesa Police Dept (PD) and the Mesa Fire Dept (FD). Both the PD and FD use a shared CAD system. Because it's a shared system, a major issue we are having is trying to define, specifically, what needs to be done with the CAD/Mobile from a FBI CJIS Security perspective - i.e. what configuration, both software security and/or infrastructure, must be in place to meet CJIS Security compliance?

The Michigan State Police (MSP), respectfully requests Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to host ten two-day Blue Courage training sessions to address issues of officer cynicism, ethical decision making based on principled courage, dedication/devotion to the profession, health and wellness, and resilience to the stress of law enforcement.

We are facing a problem with both tenured and junior sworn personnel who need a re-commitment to the basic principles of the profession, either due to tenure, lack of maturity, and many other reasons. We have also faced a few recent challenges in decision making regarding off duty actions that have resulted in a lot of bad publicity, reduction in public trust and some good people making poor choices resulting in significant discipline.

Interested in funding available for Blue Courage training. BJA NTTAC referred this request to CICP.

The Ohio Parole Board has discretionary releasing authority over a portion of the prison population that is comprised of offenders serving sentences for the most serious crimes. Specifically, approximately 50% of the offenders heard are convicted of a Homicide offense including Aggravated Murder, Murder and Manslaughter. Another 30% of those offenders heard by the Board are convicted of a sex offense. In it release decision making, the Board utilizes a risk instrument (ORAS) that is predictive of the general risk of an offender to reoffend.

As a facility we are in a transitional period and are not quite sure how to move forward. We want our Jail Programs and Services to be stategically designed, and based on proven methods. Becuase of the way our inamtes are housed, treatment delivery is a challenge. There is also some resistance with our correctional staff. We do not currently have the capability to track the data that we need, nor are we sure exactly what to collect.

Recruitment of needed participant for the CARE 3 grant which we provide free Recovery Support services and a mentorship for youth ages 12-21
