The National Criminal Justice Association, with funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, offers training and technical assistance to SAAs to support strategic planning efforts and the implementation of evidence-based policies and practices. This TTA is designed to help states meet the 2019 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant requirement of a comprehensive statewide strategic plan.
We offer three levels of training and technical assistance:
- Tier 1 TTA involves a less intensive problem-solving response. Information may be delivered be email or phone and include the dissemination of publications and data and referrals to online resources.
- Tier 2 TTA involves direct staff support and may include the customization of documents, training materials and publications, as well as facilitating connections through our peer-to-peer mentor network of SAAs or Governor's Criminal Justice Policy Advisors (CJPAs).
- Tier 3 TTA involves the development of customized products or services to meet a state’s unique needs. Tier 3 TTA may also include onsite services.
This TTA request form will ask you to:
- Describe the needs, problems or challenges your agency is seeking to address;
- Upload your agency's most recent strategic plan (if any);
- Identify areas of strategic planning that your agency wishes to focus on;
- Select a preferred method of TTA delivery; and
