The NRTAC team would like to host an interactive Zoom webinar to bring together Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC) both research partners and crime analysts as a way to strengthen the CGIC research community of practice. The Research, Evaluation and Measures for CGICs: Best Practices and Lessons-learned Webinar will:
• Provide new CGIC sites with information about evaluating CGIC projects and the collection of performance measures;
• Provide lessons-learned from early evaluations;

The agency is searching for formal or informal training that focuses on diversion and different pathways. Currently, they are experiencing a disconnect with law enforcement officers and want to find a way to efficiently coordinate referrals.

The agency is building a diversion program using the LEAD Model and wanted more information on other diversion programs that better fit their community. Law enforcement buy-in is one of the challenges the agency is facing. Law enforcement is concerned about the lack of accountability beyond the completion of a behavioral health assessment.

The agency watched CHJ's Specialized Opioid Case Management webinar, where the offer for TA was made. The TTA request has both a QRT element and a peer recovery element, which our BJA policy advisor suggested that CHJ team up with Altarum. Their goal is to understand better-emerging practices or other guidance to help make sure their agency is maximizing their efforts.

We received an Ad Hoc request from the Youth Services Division of the DC Department of Human Services (from the Special Assistant to the Deputy Administrator). AIR Lead Coach Simon Gonsoulin and AIR Lead for Identifying Innovations Barbara Broman had 2 calls with the team from DC to better understand the initial TA request. The TA request involves 3 integrated components. The plan is to establish three groups of work that will ultimately come together in the end. The three groups will be made up of NRRC staff and staff from the DC office.

Access to adult and juvenile medical forensic examinations is an integral component of the PREA standards and requires coordination of services among multidisciplinary team members in confinement as well as the community. This webinar will demystify the Sexual Assault Forensic Examination for corrections and community professionals who are responsible for protecting, advocating for, and assisting inmate, detainee, and resident victims and survivors.

The National Law Enforcement Roadway Safety Program (NLERSP) will deliver a 4-hour, in-person training at the Alexandria (VA) Police Department to educate executive and mid-level law enforcement officers from the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area about policies, tactics, training strategies, and technological innovations that can improve the safety of their officers by reducing the risk of officer-involved collisions and struck-by incidents on the roadways.

The National Police Foundation will be hosting a CompStat360 webinar hosted by Ben Horwitz and Jeff Asher of AH Datalytics, for crime analysts and others in police departments who are using analyst products. CompStat360 is a proactive and problem-solving approach for law enforcement to integrate community needs and feedback into data-driven crime analysis and monitoring. Ben and Jeff will present on best practices in conveying complex information to a variety of audiences, which is an essential skill for analysts supporting CompStat360.

Boone County Behavioral Task Force attended a CHJ webinar on First Responder-Led Diversion and Outreach and contacted CHJ to request information on how to start a program with law enforcement and recovery workers collaborating to address substance abuse in the community and also working with other first responders.
