Grant Description

This FY 2014 competitive grant announcement focuses on two national initiatives to improve the functioning of the criminal justice system by addressing training and technical assistance (TTA) needs for state and local law enforcement and crime prevention efforts addressing emerging crime. First, BJA is seeking applications to provide nationwide TTA to increase the effectiveness and ensure success of state and local multi-jurisdictional law enforcement task forces created and addressing local crime issues. Second, BJA has undertaken a suite of work aimed at improving homicide clearance rates. In furtherance of this mission, BJA is seeking applications to provide national TTA to departments seeking assistance in improving homicide investigations and, subsequently, their homicide clearance rate.
