New Juvenile Justice Bureau Commander, looking to increase knowledge in current prevention trends with positive results.

The department would like to offer a one-day workshop for all sworn personnel that covers five critical areas of a holistic approach towards physical and mental wellness that includes physical conditioning, nutrition, sleep science, resilience, and mental performance training. The program would be provided by a well-established and verified federal vendor, with professional expertise in performance training and education.

I am looking to facilitate the start of a homeless/community court for St. Johns County, Florida. There is a need with the ever increasing case load of misdemeanor/ordinance violations. I observed Ft. Lauderdale's Community Court and found it to be a great idea that would have benefits for my county. Any assistance with possible grants, technical assistance or any other needed services would be greatly appreciated.

We are needing assistance in identifying our policy coordinating group, training of such individuals, and officer and case management training as well. Further, we need assistance developing our policies and procedures, and providing education of the new program to the community.

We are requesting funds to cover the cost for up to 7 individuals representing the Pre-Arrest Diversion initiative, the State's Attorney's Office, the public Defender's Office, the Sheriff's Office, the Health Department, the Elgin Police Department, and potentially a representative from one of our collaborating private hospitals to travel to Pima County, AZ (Tucson, AZ) for 3 days in order to spend time with the leadership from Justice Services, the Regional Behavioral Health Authority, prosecutors and public defense, and the law enforcement partners.

I learned about the possibility of having BJA fund virtual training sessions for the youth in our residential centers. We are interested in working with CBO Game Changer. I learned about this opportunity from Sean Sheppard ( Seansheppard@gamechanger1.org ). Once we are approved for this training I will work with Mr. Sheppard to schedule the virtual training.

The Sequential Intercept Model mapping (1 day) and SIM strategic planning sessions (1/2 day) are requested to address the growing need for an evidence-based community response to mental health crisis. BJA NTTAC referred this request to the CIT Training Program.
