Peer-to-peer Support

Alyssa Harold, Wellness Court Specialist at TLPI, emailed Catherine Retana, Tribal Law Specialist at TLPI on 3/22/2024 about a TTA request from Chippewa Cree. They brought up that they are struggling with their reentry program because the state and federal governments will not sign an MOU agreement. They would like ideas and support for that process! Catherine Retana shared our Tribal State Collaboration Series publication and the HTWC Intergovernmental Collaborations. This could be a potential topic for tribal state court forums as well if there is an active forum in their state.

Planned and helped produce the Community Based Reentry Incubator Kickoff meeting

The Wichita Police Department (WPD) requested a peer exchange to send two personnel to the Scottsdale Police Department (SPD) to learn about and tour its Real Time Crime Center (RTCC). During the on-site visit, there was an overview of the SPD’s RTCC, including four key areas that contributed to the center’s quick implementation: police leader support; identifying a champion/project manager; developing a committee; and being willing to beta programs. The initial vision/focus for the RTCC was discussed, as well as funding, staffing, technology, and partnerships.
