State Health Grants

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Grant Program, offered through the United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia in partnership with the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), aims to provide federal funds for comprehensive, collaborative, and community-based approaches to reducing violent crime. The program's mission aligns with supporting organizations within the Western District of Virginia in their efforts to mitigate gun and gang violence. This initiative seeks to foster public safety by supporting a broad range of activities, including deterrence efforts, evidence-based programs, proven enforcement strategies, and the prosecution of significant firearm, controlled substance, and violent crime offenses. The grant targets local and state law enforcement agencies, local and state governmental entities, educational institutions, and 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations located in or serving the cities of Roanoke, Lynchburg, Danville, and Charlottesville (including Albemarle County). Multi-jurisdictional partnerships are also eligible. The primary impact goal is to reduce violent crime through a full range of appropriate strategies. Expected outcomes include a decrease in gun and gang violence, stronger community trust in law enforcement, and a more effective justice system in addressing violent offenses. The program prioritizes four key PSN design features. "Community Engagement" emphasizes meaningful communication and relationship-building between communities, law enforcement, prosecutors, and other stakeholders to build trust and shared public safety values. "Prevention and Intervention Effective" focuses on problem-solving approaches that address violent crime by leveraging resources like education, social services, job training, and reentry programs to provide individuals with skills and alternatives. "Focused and Strategic Enforcement" directs efforts towards identifying and addressing problem places and prolific offenders driving violent crime, often involving gangs and violent street groups. This includes utilizing technology and analytics, developing enforcement strategies, and deterring violence through public awareness. Finally, "Accountability" highlights the importance of analyzing and assessing the impact of PSN strategies on violent crime and community health, often in partnership with research entities, to ensure the program's success and credibility. The funding available is approximately $302,000, with grants awarded for a twelve-month period, potentially extending to 24 months based on need.

The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) is offering its 2024 National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Compliance Efforts grant, a crucial initiative to enhance crime statistics reporting across the state. This program aligns with the PCCD's mission to improve public safety and criminal justice by fostering accurate and timely data collection. The grant, supported by federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, aims to modernize technology infrastructure for reporting incident-based crime data to the FBI’s NIBRS. This move will significantly improve the quality and detail of crime data, providing a more comprehensive understanding of criminal activity and informing more effective law enforcement strategies. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are local law enforcement agencies, campus police, university police, railroad or street railway police departments, airport authority police departments (including Harrisburg International Airport Police), and county park police within Pennsylvania. The goal is to equip these agencies with the necessary tools and training to transition to NIBRS-compliant reporting. The impact goal is to achieve widespread NIBRS compliance, thereby improving the accuracy and completeness of crime statistics reported to the FBI, which will ultimately support better resource allocation and crime prevention efforts across the state. The grant program's priorities and focus are clearly defined: upgrading technology infrastructure, specifically the installation of NIBRS-compliant record management systems, providing agency training on data collection and submission, and offering technical assistance to personnel responsible for these tasks. PCCD expects to fund approximately 50 grants, with budgets not exceeding $200,000 over a two-year project period. This focused approach ensures that the funds are directly applied to the critical components of NIBRS implementation. Expected outcomes include a significant increase in the number of Pennsylvania law enforcement agencies capable of submitting NIBRS data to the FBI. Measurable results will include the successful deployment of NIBRS-compliant systems, the number of personnel trained, and ultimately, an improvement in the quality and timeliness of crime data submitted. The long-term strategic priority of PCCD is to build a robust and data-driven criminal justice system in Pennsylvania, and this grant program is a direct step towards achieving that by ensuring accurate and comprehensive crime reporting. The theory of change is that by providing financial and technical support for NIBRS implementation, agencies will be empowered to improve their data reporting, leading to better informed policy decisions and enhanced public safety outcomes.
