NTTAC TTAs

Dallas Police Department requested drug market intervention training. This request was referred from Diagnostic Center.

We are seeking assistance in developing and implementing a program to target the violence, drugs, and disorder in the Bayside area of Portland. This area is home to the city's social service network to include a homeless shelter, resource center, soup kitchen and other social service agencies. The problems that are currently plaguing this neighborhood are preventing shelter clients from obtaining the assistance they need and are negatively impacting the lives of residents and businesses in the area.

We are seeking assistance with the purchase of course materials - 100 participant kits @ $89.50 per kit for a total request value of $8,950.00. Our first goal is to be able to receive enough money for 100 kits (each kit costs $89.50) with assistance from BJA. Our second goal is to get enough officers trained in Blue Courage so that it becomes a part of the Nevada POST standards for law enforcement officers.
