LAW ENFORCEMENTAGENCIES IN THE UNITED STATES ARE CONFRONTING NEW CHALLENGES; AS A RESULT, THEY REQUIRE A FRESH, EVIDENCE-BASED, AND OBJECTIVE APPROACH TO SUPPORT THEIR REFORM AND TRANSFORMATION EFFORTS. AS PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT DECLINES (KENNEDY ET AL., 2022), AND AS THE POLICING PROFESSION CONFRONTS A HISTORY OF RACIALLY BIASED PRACTICE, POLICE AGENCIES MUST REFORM TO BETTER PROMOTE THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF ALL PEOPLE. THE COLLABORATIVE REFORM INITIATIVE ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT(CRI OA) PROGRAM, INITIATED BY THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES (COPS OFFICE) IN 2011, IS A COMPREHENSIVE AND STRATEGIC INITIATIVE THAT PROVIDES LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WITH A PROACTIVE, NON-ADVERSARIAL VEHICLE FOR WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ) TO ENSURE FAIR, IMPARTIAL, AND EFFECTIVE POLICING FOR THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. CNA, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE INSTITUTE FOR INTERGOVERNMENTAL RESEARCH (IIR), PROPOSES TO CONTINUE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COPS CRI OA PROGRAM. BOTH ORGANIZATIONS ARE STEEPED IN THE PHILOSOPHY AND PRACTICE OF COMMUNITY POLICING, ARE EXPERIENCED IN RIGOROUS AND OBJECTIVE POLICING ASSESSMENT METHODS, AND HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVED SUSTAINED POLICE REFORM.

CHILDREN AND YOUTH CRISIS STABILIZATION CONTINUUM - THE PANDEMIC HAS BEEN THE SOURCE OF INCREASING LEVELS OF STRESS AND DISRUPTION, ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN. IN THE EAST TENNESSEE REGION, MANY MORE CHILDREN THAN PRE-PANDEMIC ARE PRESENTING WITH MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AGENCIES AND HOSPITALS ARE SEEING AN INCREASE IN PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCIES. THE INCREASE IN PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCIES HAS OVERLOADED THE EXISTING SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORTS CHILDREN. AS THE LARGEST COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTER IN THIS AREA, THE HELEN ROSS MCNABB CENTER, INC. PROPOSES TO ADDRESS GAPS IN CARE THE PANDEMIC HAS MAGNIFIED FOR CHILDREN 18 YEARS AND UNDER. WHILE THERE ARE CRISIS SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR CHILDREN, THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS FRAGMENTED AND INADEQUATE. THIS CHILDREN AND YOUTH CRISIS STABILIZATION CONTINUUM (CSC) PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE SERVICES TO ONE THOUSAND UNIQUE CHILDREN OVER TWO YEARS. THE 24 HOUR/7 DAY PER WEEK, CSC PROGRAM WILL INCLUDE A CONTINUUM OF CRISIS SERVICES THAT ARE INTENSIVE AND COMMUNITY BASED WITH AN EMPHASIS ON DIVERSION AND STABILIZATION. THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THE PROGRAM WILL BE TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN PRESENTING WITH EMERGENCY MENTAL HEALTH CRISES BY PROVIDING SERVICES THAT CAN DIVERT A CHILD FROM HOSPITALIZATION. THE CENTER WILL ACCOMPLISH THESE GOALS BY DEVELOPING A CHILDREN’S CRISIS STABILIZATION UNIT AND A WALK-IN CENTER THAT WILL HOUSE A MOBILE CRISIS ASSESSMENT TEAM AND CHILD AND FAMILY INTENSIVE COMMUNITY BASED CASE MANAGERS, PROVIDE MEDICATION ASSESSMENT AND MONITORING, DELIVER TRAUMA-INFORMED THERAPY SERVICES, AND ALLOW RESPITE FOR CAREGIVERS . THE MEASUREABLE OBJECTIVES WILL INCLUDE: 75 CHILDREN EACH YEAR WHO ARE SEEKING EMERGENCY MENTAL HEALTH CARE WILL BE DIVERTED FROM ACUTE HOSPITALIZATION BY ACCESSING TREATMENT IN THE CSU OR IN INTENSIVE COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES, 85% OF CHILDREN EACH YEAR SEEKING EMERGENCY CARE WILL REMAIN IN THEIR CURRENT HOME PLACEMENT AFTER RECEIVING REFERRALS FOR INTENSIVE COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES AND/OR CSU, 90% OF CHILDREN ASSESSED EACH YEAR WILL RECEIVE A TRAUMA SCREENING, 90% OF CHILDREN ASSESSED EACH YEAR WILL HAVE A FOLLOW UP OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE INITIAL CRISIS ASSESSMENT,100% OF CHILDREN ASSESSED DURING MENTAL HEALTH CRISES EACH YEAR WILL BE REFERRED TO CCFT SERVICES, 80% OF CHILDREN WHO SEEK EMERGENCY MENTAL HEALTH CARE EACH YEAR WILL EXPERIENCE IMPROVED MENTAL HEALTH SYMPTOMS WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT AND WILL NO LONGER MEET CRITERIA FOR HIGHER LEVEL OF CARE.

FY 2021 PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

THE EAST TENNESSEE MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT PROGRAM - THE EAST TENNESSEE MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE EPIDEMIC OF PRESCRIPTION DRUG AND OPIOID ADDICTION FOR ADULTS LIVING IN THE HEALTHCARE SHORTAGE AREAS OF APPALACHIAN TENNESSEE THROUGH THE EXPANSION AND ENHANCEMENT OF TREATMENT SERVICES CAPACITY. IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUPPORT FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE MEDICAL CENTER AND THE MOBILE RURAL HEALTH CLINIC, THE PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE DIRECT MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES WHILE UTILIZING THE COMMUNITY REINFORCEMENT APPROACH (CRA) AND ASSERTIVE CONTINUING CARE (ACC). OVER A FIVE YEAR PERIOD, THE TREATMENT CAPACITY EXPANSION IS EXPECTED TO SERVE AN ADDITIONAL 375 ADULTS WHO ARE UN/UNDERINSURED AND UNABLE TO AFFORD QUALITY SERVICES THROUGH ALTERNATE MEANS. THE NATIONAL OPIOID CRISIS HAS HAD AN UNEQUIVOCAL IMPACT ON THE RURAL APPALACHIAN AREAS OF EAST TENNESSEE. HIGHER RATES OF POVERTY, IN COMBINATION WITH A HISTORICAL SHORTAGE OF OUTPATIENT MEDICAL PROVIDERS, LACK OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN THE REGION AND STIGMA SURROUNDING SUBSTANCE USE AND CO-OCCURRING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES HAS CREATED DISPROPORTIONATE DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO CARE. THE PROGRAM’S GOAL IS TO ADDRESS THOSE DISPARITIES AND ALLEVIATE UNMET NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS STRUGGLING WITH AN OPIOID USE DISORDER WHO HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN UNABLE TO ACCESS QUALITY CARE. SPECIFIC FOCUS WILL BE PLACED ON PATIENTS WHO’VE BEEN INITIATED ON MAT WITHIN THE REGIONAL HOSPITAL’S EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND PATIENTS PRESENTING TO THE MOBILE RURAL HEALTH CLINIC. PRIORITY POPULATIONS INCLUDE IV DRUG USERS, PREGNANT AND POST-PARTUM WOMEN AND INDIVIDUALS WITH CO-OCCURRING MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS. PEER NAVIGATORS, ALREADY SITUATED WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE MEDICAL CENTER ED, WILL ENGAGE, SCREEN AND TRANSPORT PATIENTS INITIATED ON BUPRENORPHINE IN THE ED DIRECTLY TO OUTPATIENT SERVICES. BOTH TELEHEALTH SERVICES AND COMMUNITY-BASED RECOVERY SUPPORT WILL BE UTILIZED TO ACCESS SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT FOR CLIENTS PRESENTING TO THE MOBILE RURAL HEALTH CLINIC. A RECOVERY-ORIENTED, TRAUMA-INFORMED AND EQUITY-BASED APPROACH WILL BE UTILIZED VIA AN INTEGRATED SERVICES TEAM CONSISTING OF A PHYSICIAN, NURSE PRACTITIONER, RN, RECOVERY SPECIALIST/CASE MANAGER, PEER RECOVERY SPECIALIST AND MS LEVEL PREPARED CLINICIANS. CLIENTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE SUBSTANCE USE AND CO-OCCURRING TREATMENT SERVICES, INCLUDING COVERAGE OF MEDICATION, THERAPY, INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT, HARM-REDUCTION SERVICES, PSYCHO-EDUCATION AND PEER RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES. WHILE APPROVED MEDICATIONS WILL BE USED TO ADDRESS THE PHYSIOLOGICAL COMPONENTS OF ADDICTION, CRA AND ACC WILL ADDRESS THE PSYCHO-SOCIAL DETERMINANTS AND WILL TEACH CLIENTS AND FAMILIES HOW TO BUILD RECOVERY SKILLS, FIND/USE POSITIVE REINFORCERS FOR STAYING SUBSTANCE-FREE, ACCESS COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO SUPPORT POSITIVE CHANGE AND STRENGTHEN THE INDIVIDUAL’S NATURAL SUPPORT SYSTEM. THE PROGRAM WILL RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING POSITIVE OUTCOMES: ABSTINENCE OR SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN SUBSTANCE USE, IMPROVED SOCIAL CONNECTEDNESS, ENGAGEMENT IN MENTAL HEALTH OR PRE-NATAL SERVICES WHEN NEEDED, AND IMPROVED LEVEL OF PSYCHO-SOCIAL FUNCTIONING AS EVIDENCED BY ACQUISITION OF SKILLS, STABILITY OF HOUSING AND/OR EMPLOYMENT.

JAILS IN AMERICA HOUSE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR COUNTRYS INCARCERATED POPULATION IN DYNAMIC SOCIAL AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS. JAILS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT FROM PRISONS, AND THE CHALLENGES TO CONDUCTING RESEARCH IN JAIL ENVIRONMENTS HAVE HINDERED OPPORTUNITIES TO DEVELOP AN EVIDENCE BASE REGARDING JAIL OPERATIONS, JAIL CULTURE AND CLIMATE, AND A VARIETY OF TOPICS RELATING TO JAIL STAFF AND RESIDENTS. PROCEDURAL JUSTICE TRAINING HAS BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON PERCEPTIONS OF LEGITIMACY IN A NUMBER OF JUSTICE SYSTEM SETTINGS (POLICE, COURTS, COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS, PRISON) BUT HAS NOT BEEN STUDIED IN JAILS. WE PROPOSE AN EXPERIMENT IN WHICH WE DEVELOP A TRAINING SPECIFICALLY FOR JAIL OFFICERS ON PROCEDURAL JUSTICE CONCEPTS AND APPROACHES, IMPLEMENT THE TRAINING FOR JAIL OFFICERS IN TWO WAVES, AND EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF THAT TRAINING ON JAIL CLIMATE. WE BELIEVE THAT PROCEDURAL JUSTICE TRAINING FOR JAIL OFFICERS WILL IMPACT OFFICER ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS TOWARD RESIDENTS WHICH WILL IMPACT JAIL CLIMATE OVERALL. THIS STUDY WILL ADDRESS MAJOR GAPS IN KNOWLEDGE ABOUT JAILS AND CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PROCEDURAL JUSTICE IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. CA/NCF

BODY-WORN CAMERAS (BWCS) HAVE BROUGHT SIGNIFICANT ATTENTION TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE PRACTICE AND REFORM OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS. WHILE MOST SCHOLARSHIP HAS CENTERED ON LAW ENFORCEMENT, PRISON AND JAIL ADMINISTRATORS ARE INCREASINGLY EQUIPPING CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS (COS) WITH THESE DEVICES. RECENT, BUT LIMITED, RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT BWCS MAY BE UNIQUELY SUITED TO CORRECTIONAL SETTINGS, WITH ONE RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL (RCT) SHOWING THAT BWCS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED CO USES OF FORCE AND INJURIES TO INCARCERATED RESIDENTS. BY ENHANCING THE WELL-BEING OF STAFF AND RESIDENTS, THIS TECHNOLOGY HOLDS PROMISE FOR IMPROVING CORRECTIONAL CULTURE (THE MANIFEST BEHAVIORS OF AND INTERACTIONS BETWEEN STAFF AND RESIDENTS) AND CLIMATE (THE PERCEPTIONS OF THE CARCERAL ENVIRONMENT AMONG KEY STAKEHOLDERS). CNA, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS (MNDOC), PROPOSES TO CONDUCT A PROCESS AND IMPACT EVALUATION OF BWCS IN FIVE STATE PRISONS. THE SELECTED FACILITIES VARY GEOGRAPHICALLY, BY SECURITY LEVEL, AND IN RESIDENT POPULATIONS. THEY REPRESENT MORE THAN HALF OF THE MNDOCS INCARCERATED POPULATION AND WORKFORCE. CNA WILL EXECUTE A CLUSTERED RCT BY RANDOMLY ASSIGNING 84 HOUSING/NONHOUSING UNITS ACROSS THE FIVE FACILITIES INTO EITHER TREATMENT OR CONTROL CONDITIONS. COS IN THE TREATMENT GROUP UNITS WILL BE ASSIGNED TO WEAR BWCS FOR THE ONE-YEAR STUDY PERIOD. TO FACILITATE THE PROCESS EVALUATION, CNA WILL OBSERVE BWC TRAININGS, REVIEW POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, AND INTERVIEW STAFF. FOR THE IMPACT EVALUATION, CNA WILL SURVEY INCARCERATED RESIDENTS, COS, AND NON-SECURITY STAFF TO COLLECT MEASURES OF CLIMATE (E.G., FEELINGS OF SAFETY, PERCEPTIONS OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND FAIRNESS, STAFF-RESIDENT RAPPORT). THE TEAM WILL MEASURE CULTURE BY COLLECTING ADMINISTRATIVE DATA ON THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN STAFF AND RESIDENTS (E.G., USES OF FORCE, RESIDENT-ON-RESIDENT AND RESIDENT-ON-STAFF ASSAULTS, INJURIES). CNA WILL ANALYZE INTERVIEW DATA WITH REFLEXIVE THEMATIC ANALYSIS METHODS. THEY WILL ANALYZE SURVEY AND ADMINISTRATIVE DATA USING RANDOM-EFFECTS PANEL MODELS TO ESTIMATE SITE-SPECIFIC IMPACTS AND LATENT GROWTH MODELS TO ESTIMATE AGGREGATE/POOLED IMPACTS. THEIR DISSEMINATION PLAN INCLUDES SCHOLARLY JOURNAL ARTICLES, PRACTITIONER BRIEFS, A GUIDEBOOK, AND CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS. THE RIGOROUS AND MULTISITE NATURE OF THIS STUDY WILL PRODUCE FINDINGS THAT ARE RELIABLE, VALID, AND BROADLY BENEFICIAL TO BOTH ACADEMIC AND PRACTITIONER AUDIENCES. STUDY FINDINGS WILL INFORM CORRECTIONAL AGENCIES ABOUT BWC PRACTICES THAT CAN IMPROVE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING AND CREATE SUSTAINABLE IMPACTS ON CLIMATE AND CULTURE. CA/NCF

COMPREHENSIVE OPIOID RECOVERY CENTERS - THE EAST TENNESSEE COMPREHENSIVE OPIOID RECOVERY CENTER ADDRESSES THE EPIDEMIC OF PRESCRIPTION DRUG AND OPIOID ADDICTION FOR ADULTS LIVING IN THE HEALTHCARE SHORTAGE AREAS OF APPALACHIAN TENNESSEE THROUGH THE EXPANSION AND ENHANCEMENT OF TREATMENT SERVICES CAPACITY. THE CENTER WILL PROVIDE A RECOVERY-ORIENTED SYSTEM OF CARE AND A VAST CONTINUUM OF HARM REDUCTION, TREATMENT AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES. OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD, THE TREATMENT CAPACITY EXPANSION IS EXPECTED TO SERVE AN ADDITIONAL 375 ADULTS WHO ARE UN/UNDERINSURED AND UNABLE TO AFFORD QUALITY SERVICES THROUGH ALTERNATE MEANS. THE NATIONAL OPIOID CRISIS HAS HAD AN UNEQUIVOCAL IMPACT ON THE RURAL APPALACHIAN AREAS OF EAST TENNESSEE. HIGHER RATES OF POVERTY, IN COMBINATION WITH A HISTORICAL SHORTAGE OF OUTPATIENT MEDICAL PROVIDERS, LACK OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN THE REGION AND STIGMA SURROUNDING SUBSTANCE USE AND CO-OCCURRING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES HAS CREATED DISPROPORTIONATE DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO CARE. THE PROGRAM’S GOAL IS TO ADDRESS THOSE DISPARITIES AND ALLEVIATE UNMET NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS STRUGGLING WITH AN OPIOID USE DISORDER WHO HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN UNABLE TO ACCESS QUALITY CARE. SPECIFIC FOCUS WILL BE PLACED UPON TIMELY, LOW-BARRIER ACCESS TO MOUD SERVICES IN UNDERSERVED COUNTIES AND ACCESS TO RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES TO ADDRESS SAMHSA’S FOUR DIMENSIONS OF RECOVERY. PRIORITY POPULATIONS INCLUDE IV DRUG USERS, PREGNANT AND POST-PARTUM WOMEN, INDIVIDUALS WITH CO-OCCURRING MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS AND THOSE TRANSITIONING INTO THE COMMUNITY FROM INCARCERATION. A RECOVERY-ORIENTED, TRAUMA-INFORMED AND EQUITY-BASED APPROACH WILL BE UTILIZED VIA AN INTEGRATED SERVICES TEAM CONSISTING OF A PHYSICIAN, NURSE PRACTITIONER, RN, RECOVERY SPECIALIST/CASE MANAGER, PEER RECOVERY SPECIALIST AND A CERTIFIED PEER RECOVERY SPECIALIST SUPERVISOR. CENTER PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE SUBSTANCE USE AND CO-OCCURRING TREATMENT SERVICES, INCLUDING COVERAGE OF MEDICATION, OUTPATIENT THERAPY, DETOX AND RESIDENTIAL SERVICES, AND INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT. HARM REDUCTION SERVICES WILL PROVIDE HIV/HCV TESTING AND NALOXONE DISTRIBUTION AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED THROUGH A NETWORK OF RECOVERY SUPPORT SPECIALISTS. WHILE APPROVED MEDICATIONS WILL BE USED TO ADDRESS THE PHYSIOLOGICAL COMPONENTS OF ADDICTION, THE COMMUNITY REINFORCEMENT APPROACH AND ASSERTIVE CONTINUING CARE WILL ADDRESS THE PSYCHO-SOCIAL DETERMINANTS AND WILL TEACH CLIENTS AND FAMILIES HOW TO BUILD THE RECOVERY SKILLS NEEDED TO SUPPORT POSITIVE CHANGE AND STRENGTHEN THE INDIVIDUAL’S NATURAL SUPPORT SYSTEM. THE PROGRAM WILL RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING POSITIVE OUTCOMES: ABSTINENCE OR SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN SUBSTANCE USE, IMPROVED SOCIAL CONNECTEDNESS, ENGAGEMENT IN MENTAL HEALTH OR PRE-NATAL SERVICES WHEN NEEDED, AND IMPROVED LEVEL OF PSYCHO-SOCIAL FUNCTIONING AS EVIDENCED BY ACQUISITION OF SKILLS, STABILITY OF HOUSING AND/OR EMPLOYMENT.

ENCOURAGING LAW ENFORCEMENT TO UNDERSTAND TOLERANCE: NATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MANAGING BIAS TRAINING PROGRAM

POLICE AGENCIES IN THE US ARE CONFRONTING NEW CHALLENGES; AS A RESULT, THEY REQUIRE CONTINUING, EVIDENCE-BASED, AND OBJECTIVE APPROACHES TO SUPPORT THEIR REFORM AND TRANSFORMATION EFFORTS. AS PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT DECLINES (KENNEDY ET AL., 2022), AND AS THE POLICING PROFESSION CONFRONTS A HISTORY OF RACIALLY BIASED PRACTICE, POLICE AGENCIES MUST REFORM AND BUILD TRUST WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES TO BETTER PROMOTE THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF ALL PEOPLE. THE COLLABORATIVE REFORM INITIATIVE ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT (CRI OA) PROGRAM, INITIATED BY THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES (COPS OFFICE) IN 2011, PROVIDES LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WITH A PROACTIVE, NON-ADVERSARIAL VEHICLE FOR WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ) TO ENSURE FAIR, IMPARTIAL, AND EFFECTIVE POLICING FOR THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. CNA, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE INSTITUTE FOR INTERGOVERNMENTAL RESEARCH (IIR), PROPOSES TO CONTINUE IMPLEMENTING THE COPS CRI OA PROGRAM. BOTH ORGANIZATIONS ARE STEEPED IN THE PHILOSOPHY AND PRACTICE OF COMMUNITY POLICING, ARE EXPERIENCED IN RIGOROUS AND OBJECTIVE POLICING ASSESSMENT METHODS, AND HAVE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED SUSTAINABLE POLICE REFORM. THEY CURRENTLY SERVE AS THE TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (TTA) PROVIDERS FOR THE CRI OA.

EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES FOR IMPROVED DIABETES HEALTH OUTCOMES THROUGH COLLABORATIVE ENGAGEMENT ,OUTREACH AND HEALTH EDUCATION - INSPIRE-D: INTEGRATED NUTRITION AND SCREENING PROGRAM FOR INFORMED RISK EDUCATION FOR DIABETES PREVENTION * NOTE: PROJECT TITLE HAS BEEN AMENDED TO INSPIRE- D PROJECT ABSTRACT: 34.2 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S. HAVE DIABETES 1. SOUTH CAROLINA IS POSED WITH A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS BEING THE 8TH HIGHEST STATE IN THE UNITED STATES FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF ADULTS LIVING WITH DIABETES. DIABETES IS THE 7TH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN SOUTH CAROLINA, MORE THAN DRUG OVERDOSES, SUICIDE, OR HOMICIDE. SINCE 2011, DIABETES PREVALENCE AMONG ADULTS HAS INCREASED FROM 12.1% TO 13.6% IN 2020. DIAGNOSED PREDIABETES HAS INCREASED FROM 6.7% IN 2011 TO 10.9% IN 2018. AS HIGHLIGHTED BY DATA FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA COMMISSION OF MINORITY AFFAIRS, THE STATE HAS WITNESSED A STAGGERING 300% INCREASE IN ITS HISPANIC POPULATION SINCE THE 2000 CENSUS, REACHING APPROXIMATELY 258,000 RESIDENTS. THIS REMARKABLE GROWTH UNDERSCORES THE IMPERATIVE TO PROVIDE CULTURALLY SENSITIVE AND LINGUISTICALLY ACCESSIBLE HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THIS COMMUNITY. GOAL: THE PROPOSED PROJECT SEEKS TO ADDRESS TWO KEY SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH) DOMAINS: INCREASING ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE AND ENHANCING EDUCATION ACCESS TO EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS IN UNDERSTANDING AND APPLYING HEALTH INFORMATION, WITH THE LHI TARGET OF REDUCTION IN “NEW CASES” OF DIAGNOSED DIABETES IN THE POPULATION. THE TARGET POPULATION ARE UNINSURED AND UNDERSERVED INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING ADOLESCENTS, ADULTS, PREGNANT INDIVIDUALS, AND WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE FROM DIVERSE ETHNICITIES AND RACES WITH MAJOR FOCUS ON HISPANIC COMMUNITY. THE FUNDING WILL REDUCE NEW CASES OF DIABETES BY RAISING AWARENESS, OFFERING SCREENINGS WITH FOLLOW UP HEALTH CARE ACCESSIBILITY AND EDUCATION ON VARIOUS ASPECTS INCLUDING NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, COPING STRATEGIES FOR MENTAL HEALTH THUS EMPOWERING PEOPLE WITH SELF-MANAGEMENT SKILLS. THIS INNOVATIVE HOLISTIC APPROACH TO IMPROVING HEALTH EQUITY AND OVERALL WELL BEING IN DIABETES MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS WITH STATE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, LOCAL HOSPITALS, ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, NON-PROFITS AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBOS). THIS COLLABORATIVE EFFORT AIMS TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR REDUCING THE NEW DIABETES CASES LEADING TO ADDRESSING SDOH FACTORS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES AND EQUITY ACROSS DIVERSE POPULATIONS. BY IMPLEMENTING A COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION FRAMEWORK THAT INTEGRATES QUANTITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS, CLINICAL MEASURES, PATIENT FEEDBACK, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ASSESSMENTS, AND STAKEHOLDER EVALUATIONS, THE PROJECT WILL BE ABLE TO TRACK AND MEASURE THE REDUCTION IN NEW CASES OF DIABETES DIAGNOSES OVER TIME. THIS ONGOING EVALUATION PROCESS WILL SUPPORT EVIDENCE-BASED DECISION-MAKING AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT TO ACHIEVE THE PROJECT'S GOALS OF REDUCING HEALTHCARE DISPARITIES AND IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES WITHIN THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY.

WITHIN POLICING, A COMMON SENTIMENT IS THAT MOST POLICE OFFICERS WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING; GIVE THEM SUFFICIENT INSTRUCTION ON WHAT TO DO, AND THEY WILL DO SO WITH HONOR. HOWEVER, WHEN FACED WITH SITUATIONS WHERE DOING THE RIGHT THING MEANS HAVING TO TELL A CO-WORKER THAT THEY ARE DOING THE WRONG THING, OFFICERS MAY BE HESITANT TO ACT GIVEN THE SHARED CULTURAL KINSHIP. RATHER THAN INTERVENE IN SITUATIONS INVOLVING EXCESSIVE FORCE, UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIONS, OR OTHERWISE PROBLEMATIC BEHAVIOR, OFFICERS MAY BECOME A PASSIVE BYSTANDER, ALLOWING THE SITUATION TO CONTINUE AND ONLY REPORTING THE BEHAVIOR LATER (IF AT ALL). IN CONTRAST, ACTIVE BYSTANDER TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS THE POSITIVE OUTCOMES FROM INTERVENTION AND TEACHES OFFICERS HOW TO INTERVENE WITH FELLOW OFFICERS WITHOUT REGARD FOR RANK TO PREVENT AN ESCALATION THAT RESULTS IN COMMUNITY DISENGAGEMENT, VIOLATIONS, INJURY, MISCONDUCT, OR WORSE. THE MOST WIDELY IMPLEMENTED TRAINING OF THIS KIND IS ACTIVE BYSTANDERSHIP FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT (ABLE) TRAINING. MODELED AFTER THE NEW ORLEANS POLICE DEPARTMENTS EPIC (ETHICAL POLICING IS COURAGEOUS) TRAINING, ABLE TRAINING HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO 390 AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, RESULTING IN 2,729 ABLE-CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS AND OVER 169,000 ABLE-TRAINED OFFICERS. TO-DATE, HOWEVER, ABLE HAS NOT BEEN RIGOROUSLY EVALUATED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE TRAINING IS EFFECTIVE IN ACHIEVING ITS INTENDED OUTCOMES. IN RESPONSE, CNA, WITH THE SUPPORT OF GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITYS CENTER FOR INNOVATIONS IN COMMUNITY SAFETY (WHICH MANAGES AND DELIVERS THE ABLE PROGRAM) PROPOSES A MULTI-PHASED APPROACH TO EVALUATING ABLE EFFECTIVENESS. IN CONDUCTING OUR ANALYSIS, WE WILL USE AGENCIES THAT WILL RECEIVE ABLE TRAINING IN 2025 (PROSPECTIVE GROUP) AS WELL AS AGENCIES WHICH HAVE PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED ABLE TRAINING (RETROSPECTIVE GROUP). FOR THE PROSPECTIVE GROUP, WE WILL CONDUCT A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL TO GATHER DATA ABOUT THE TRAININGS SUCCESS AND ASSOCIATED STREET-LEVEL OUTCOME. WE WILL DO THIS THROUGH SURVEYS, VIDEO SCENARIOS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE DATA REVIEW. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL USE A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL RETROSPECTIVE DESIGN WITH AGENCIES THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY IMPLEMENTED ABLE TO GATHER ADDITIONAL DATA ON STREET-LEVEL OUTCOMES. FINALLY, WE WILL USE INTERVIEWS WITH AGENCY MEMBERS TO UNDERSTAND HOW OFFICERS HAVE INCORPORATED ABLE CONCEPTS INTO THEIR DAILY OPERATIONS AS WELL AS THE ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORTS THAT AGENCIES HAVE IMPLEMENTED TO ENSURE THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM. FROM OUR FINDINGS, WE WILL DEVELOP REPORTS AND ACADEMIC JOURNAL ARTICLES WHICH WILL DISCUSS ABLES TRAINING IMPLEMENTATION AS WELL AS DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF THE TRAINING ON OFFICER KNOWLEDGE, PERCEPTIONS, AND BEHAVIOR, AND THE TRAININGS ORGANIZATIONAL IMPACT.

THE BUREAU OF JUSTICE ASSISTANCE (BJA) JUSTICE REINVESTMENT INITIATIVE (JRI) HAS A DISTINGUISHED REPUTATION FOR SUPPORTING STATES AND LOCALITIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DATA-DRIVEN APPROACHES TO REDUCING VIOLENT CRIME AND RECIDIVISM AND IMPROVING PUBLIC SAFETY, DRAWING UPON BEST PRACTICES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, PROSECUTION, SENTENCING, CORRECTIONS, PAROLE, RE-ENTRY, AND PROBATION. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE ASSOCIATION (NCJA), CNA HAS SUPPORTED 24 JRI SITES AS THE SOLE TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (TTA) PROVIDER FOR SITE-BASED JRI PROJECTS SINCE 2018. CNA HAS DEVELOPED AN INTIMATE UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHALLENGES THAT SITES FACE AS THEY ENGAGE IN THE JRI FIVE-STEP PROCESS OF ENGAGING STAKEHOLDERS, ANALYZING DATA/IDENTIFYING DRIVERS, DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE RESPONSES, IMPLEMENTING THE RESPONSES, AND MEASURING OUTCOMES. OUR TEAM IS RESPONSIVE, ADAPTABLE, AND ABLE TO DEVELOP A PERSONALIZED UNDERSTANDING OF EACH SITE’S CAPACITIES AND NEEDS, AND WE ARE KEENLY IN TUNE WITH EACH SITE’S OPERATIONAL REALITIES, MAKING US THE BEST TTA PROVIDER TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING JRI SITES. CNA’S APPROACH BUILDS ON SUCCESSFUL EXPERIENCE PROVIDING NATIONAL TTA FOR NUMEROUS BJA PROGRAMS OVER THE PAST DECADE, INCLUDING THE NATIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY PARTNERSHIP (PSP), STRATEGIES FOR POLICING INNOVATION (SPI), AND PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS (PSN). THIS EXPERIENCE PROVIDES BJA WITH A LOW-RISK APPROACH AND A TEAM THAT IS FAMILIAR WITH BJA’S PREFERRED TTA APPROACHES, METHODS, AND EXPECTATIONS FOR QUALITY. OUR TTA INCLUDES FOUR OVERARCHING DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT WILL ENABLE SITES TO EFFECTIVELY ACHIEVE THEIR JRI INITIATIVES AND IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM: • EFFECTIVE PROJECT MANAGEMENT. CNA LEADERSHIP TEAM MEMBERS ARE SKILLED AT MANAGING AND MONITORING NUMEROUS TTA PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES, EFFECTIVELY COLLABORATING WITH OTHER JRI TTA PROVIDERS, AND SHARING INFORMATION WITH BJA AND DOJ PARTNERS TO ENSURE PROJECTS ARE PLANNED AND IMPLEMENTED IN TANDEM. • TECHNICAL EXPERTISE. JRI SITES MAY REQUEST TARGETED ASSISTANCE ON A SPECIFIC TOPIC. CNA AND BJA WILL DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE EXPERT AND LEVEL OF ASSISTANCE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR EACH SITE. WE WILL ENSURE THE ASSISTANCE IS ADDITIVE, DOES NOT DUPLICATE OTHER JRI SUPPORT, AND LEVERAGES EXISTING RESOURCES. • COMMUNICATION & DISSEMINATION. CNA WILL DEVELOP WEBINARS FEATURING EXPERTS DISCUSSING VARIOUS JRI TTA TOPICS. OUR WEBINARS WILL INCORPORATE CASE STUDIES, SITE-BASED PRESENTERS, REAL-WORLD SCENARIOS, PRACTICAL EXERCISES, AND EXCHANGES TO INSTITUTIONALIZE LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND ENSURE LASTING RESULTS. • PEER-TO-PEER LEARNING. PEER-TO-PEER LEARNING ENABLES COLLEAGUES TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION ON THE APPLICATION OF PROMISING PRACTICES AND VIOLENT CRIME SOLUTIONS WITHIN THEIR AGENCY. CNA WILL SUPPORT IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL PEER EXCHANGES THAT FOCUS ON COST-EFFECTIVE AND SCALABLE SOLUTIONS.

THE CONVERSATION AND RESEARCH AROUND LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING HAVE PRIMARILY CENTERED ON THE INSTRUCTION PROVIDED IN ACADEMIES AND IN-SERVICE TRAININGS. THERE HAS BEEN LESS ATTENTION TO IMPROVING AND STUDYING FIELD TRAINING (I.E., THE “ON THE JOB” TRAINING RECRUIT OFFICERS RECEIVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER GRADUATING FROM THE ACADEMY). FIELD TRAINING OFFICERS (FTOS) ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PREPARING RECRUIT OFFICERS FOR CAREERS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT BY REINFORCING LESSONS TAUGHT IN THE ACADEMY, DEMONSTRATING REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS OF POLICING TECHNIQUES, AND MODELING APPROPRIATE BEHAVIORS AND INTERACTIONS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS. RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT FTOS HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND FUTURE BEHAVIORS OF THE RECRUIT OFFICERS PARTICIPATING IN THEIR FIELD TRAINING. CNA, ALONG WITH THEIR PARTNERS THE NATIONAL FIELD TRAINING OFFICER ASSOCIATION (NAFTO) AND POLIS SOLUTIONS (POLIS), WILL CONDUCT A RIGOROUS, MULTI-SITE EVALUATION OF A FIELD TRAINING INTERVENTION. CNA AND NIJ WILL SELECT THREE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY FROM THE AGENCIES WHO HAVE PROVIDED A LETTER OF SUPPORT. CNA WILL USE STRATIFIED RANDOMIZATION TO ASSIGN ALL FTOS IN EACH OF THE THREE PARTICIPATING AGENCIES (N=30 TO 75 FTOS PER AGENCY) INTO EITHER A TREATMENT GROUP OR CONTROL GROUP. NAFTO WILL PROVIDE TRAINING TO THE FTOS ASSIGNED TO THE TREATMENT GROUP, WHO WILL THEN BE BETTER PREPARED TO PROVIDE FIELD TRAINING TO RECRUIT OFFICERS. CNA WILL COLLECT ADMINISTRATIVE DATA ON RECRUIT OFFICER OUTCOMES (E.G., ARRESTS, USES OF FORCE, AND COMPLAINTS). POLIS WILL COLLECT BODY-WORN CAMERA (BWC) FOOTAGE ON RECRUIT OFFICERS’ PEDESTRIAN STOPS AND EMPLOY NOVEL NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING (NLP) ANALYSIS TO PROCESS AND TRANSFORM THE BWC FOOTAGE INTO ADDITIONAL OUTCOMES RELATED TO PROCEDURAL JUSTICE. THE TEAM WILL MEASURE ALL OUTCOMES AT 4-, 12, AND 24-MONTH FOLLOW-UP PERIODS TO DETERMINE THE SHORT-, INTERMEDIATE-, AND LONG-TERM IMPACTS OF THE PROGRAM. CNA WILL ALSO CONDUCT INTERVIEWS WITH FTOS AND RECRUIT OFFICERS AT MULTIPLE POINTS DURING THE STUDY. THE CNA TEAM WILL CONDUCT A PROCESS, IMPACT, AND COST EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATION OF THE FIELD TRAINING INTERVENTION. THEY WILL ANALYZE INTERVIEW DATA WITH REFLEXIVE THEMATIC ANALYSIS METHODS. THEY WILL ALSO ANALYZE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND BWC-BASED OUTCOME DATA USING RANDOM-EFFECTS PANEL MODELS TO ESTIMATE SITE-SPECIFIC IMPACTS AND LATENT GROWTH MODELS TO ESTIMATE AGGREGATE/POOLED IMPACTS. THEIR DISSEMINATION PLAN INCLUDES SCHOLARLY JOURNAL ARTICLES, PRACTITIONER BRIEFS, AND CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS. THIS PROGRAM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IMPROVE THE FIELD TRAINING PROCESS, AND SUBSEQUENT RECRUIT OFFICER OUTCOMES, IN THE PARTICIPATING AGENCIES AND IN THE FIELD MORE BROADLY.

DOES IT MATTER HOW PEOPLE SPEND THEIR TIME IN PRISON? THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTICIPATION IN STRUCTURED ACTIVITIES AND HEALTH, SAFETY, AND QUALITY OF LIFE OUTCOMES FOR PRISON RESIDENTS AND STAFF STATE PRISON ADMINISTRATORS FACE MANY CHALLENGES MANAGING THE 1.1 MILLION PEOPLE IN THEIR CUSTODY. TO MITIGATE THESE ISSUES, OFFICIALS OFFER THEIR INCARCERATED RESIDENTS A RANGE OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES INTENDED TO ADDRESS CRIMINOGENIC NEEDS AND TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROSOCIAL, STRUCTURED ACTIVITIES. A GROWING BODY OF WORK HAS EXAMINED THE EFFICACY OF MANY OF THESE INTERVENTIONS, SUCH AS EDUCATION SERVICES, EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS, COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPY, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT, AND SEX OFFENDER TREATMENT. HOWEVER, THERE IS LIMITED RESEARCH ON THE OPTIMAL DOSAGE OF THESE INTERVENTIONS FOR IMPROVING INSTITUTIONAL SAFETY AND WELLNESS. THERE IS ALSO LITTLE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW PARTICIPATION IN VARIOUS TYPES OF ACTIVITIES, OR COMBINATIONS OF ACTIVITIES, CAN BENEFIT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORK IN PRISONS. TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, CNA WILL WORK WITH FIVE STATE DEPARTMENTS OF CORRECTIONS TO SURVEY INCARCERATED RESIDENTS AND CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS IN 15 PRISON FACILITIES AND TO COLLECT ADMINISTRATIVE DATA FROM ALL 73 PRISONS IN THESE STATES. THE CNA TEAM WILL THEN CREATE DETAILED MEASURES OF HOW RESIDENTS SPEND THEIR TIME DURING INCARCERATION, INCLUDING THEIR PARTICIPATION IN A VARIETY OF STRUCTURED (E.G., PRISON-BASED WORK, WORK RELEASE, CASE MANAGEMENT, EDUCATIONAL AND VOCATIONAL CLASSES, PROGRAMMING AND TREATMENT, AND VISITATION) AND LESS STRUCTURED (TELEVISION, BOOKS, GAMES, RECREATIONAL TIME, RELIGIOUS SERVICES, AND LOCK DOWN) ACTIVITIES. THE TEAM WILL ASSESS THE DEGREE TO WHICH SPECIFIC DOSAGES OR COMBINATIONS OF ACTIVITIES AFFECT OUTCOMES RELATED TO INCARCERATED RESIDENTS (MISCONDUCT, RECIDIVISM, MORTALITY, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, QUALITY OF LIFE) AND STAFF (MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, QUALITY OF LIFE, JOB PERFORMANCE AND SATISFACTION, AND ABSENTEEISM/USE OF SICK TIME). THIS PROJECT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW TO DESIGN AND OPERATE PRISON SYSTEMS THAT ARE HEALTHIER AND MORE EFFECTIVE FOR BOTH RESIDENTS AND STAFF. THE GEOGRAPHICALLY REPRESENTATIVE, MULTISITE DESIGN OF THIS STUDY ALSO INCREASES CONFIDENCE IN THE GENERALIZABILITY OF ITS RESULTS TO A WIDE RANGE OF US PRISON SYSTEMS. CA/NCF

THE MCNABB CENTER JAIL TO WORK PROJECT PROPOSES TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF INCARCERATED WOMEN WITH CO-OCCURRING TREATMENT, SAFE ALTERNATIVE SETTING AND SKILLS TRAINING TO REENTER THE COMMUNITY.  THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE CO-OCCURRING (SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AND MENTAL HEALTH) TREATMENT THAT IS OFTEN UNATTAINABLE FOR INMATES ENTERING INTO THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM DUE TO COST, POOR ACCESS TO CARE, AND LACK OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INSURANCE. THE HAMBLEN COUNTY JAIL CONDITION IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO RECEIVING TREATMENT.  THE JAIL LOST ACCREDITATION IN 2017, AND IS SEEKING TO BUILD A NEW JAIL IN THE FUTURE.  IN THE MEANTIME, INMATES WITH THE NEED FOR CO-OCCURRING SERVICES GO WITHOUT AND ARE RELEASED AT END OF THEIR SENTENCE WITH NO TRANSITION PLANNING TO THE COMMUNITY.  THE MCNABB CENTER, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE HAMBLEN COUNTY JAIL AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS, SEEKS TO PROVIDE CO-OCCURRING TREATMENT, RE-ENTRY SKILLS GROUPS, AND A SUPPORTIVE LIVING ENVIRONMENT FOR FEMALE INMATES WHO ARE SERVING JAIL TIME FOR NONVIOLENT AND DRUG RELATED CHARGES. THE PROJECT INTENDS TO UTILIZE AND IMPLEMENT OUR SUCCESSFUL JAIL TO WORK PROGRAM MODEL TO SERVE THIS POPULATION.     THE PURPOSE OF THE JAIL TO WORK PROJECT ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM OF RECIDIVISM IN HAMBLEN COUNTY BY PROVIDING SERVICES TO INCARCERATED FEMALES TO TREAT CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS, OFFERING LIFE AND JOB SKILLS, PLACING IN EMPLOYMENT, AND ADDRESSING RE-ENTRY NEEDS. INCARCERATED FEMALES WITH CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS CAN APPLY TO THE PROGRAM THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS, IF ACCEPTED, THEY  ARE PLACED IN AN ALTERNATIVE SETTING AND RECEIVE SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT, ADDRESS CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS, OBTAIN WORKFORCE READINESS SKILLS THROUGH TRAINING, AND ARE PLACED WITH LOCAL EMPLOYERS WHILE BEING SUPPORTED BY COMMUNITY PARTNERS. THIS PROGRAM WILL TREAT, TRAIN AND SUPPORT THE PARTICIPANTS FOR A 7-MONTH PERIOD. MASTERS AND BACHELORS PREPARED STAFF WILL UTILIZE EVIDENCE-BASED MODALITIES SUCH MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING, CBT, DBT AND TRAUMA INFORMED CARE THROUGH INDIVIDUAL THERAPY, FAMILY THERAPY AND CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES.     THE CENTER HAS A LONG HISTORY OF SUCCESSFULLY CREATING AND IMPLEMENTING PROJECTS WITH MEASURABLE, ATTAINABLE OUTCOMES IN A WIDE VARIETY OF SOCIAL SERVICES FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE MANNER.  THE MCNABB CENTER ENSURES SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROJECT BY CONSISTENTLY LINKING AND COLLABORATING WITH THE PARTNERS IN THE RECOVERY ECOSYSTEM.

A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF BODY-WORN CAMERAS ON INMATE MISCONDUCT IN THE LOUDOUN COUNTY VA ADULT DETENTION CENTER

LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES FACE NUMEROUS CHALLENGES, INCLUDING HISTORICALLY HIGH LEVELS OF VIOLENT CRIME RATES, CALLS FOR REFORM, AND STAFFING SHORTAGES. DESPITE THESE OBSTACLES, AGENCIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IDENTIFYING AND INCORPORATING BEST PRACTICES REGARDING CRIME REDUCTION AND PUBLIC SAFETY STRATEGIES. ONE SUCH STRATEGY IS ESTABLISHING CRIME INFORMATION CENTERS (CICS), WHICH AGENCIES USE TO ANALYZE CRIME DATA TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT PATROL DEPLOYMENTS AND THE ALLOCATION OF OTHER RESOURCES. AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE INCREASINGLY ADOPTING CICS AS A TECHNOLOGICAL AND DATA-DRIVEN FORCE MULTIPLIER TO IMPROVE POLICING PRACTICES AND COMBAT CRIME. DESPITE THEIR INCREASING USE, CICS HAVE NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO RIGOROUS EVALUATION, ALTHOUGH THEY DO DRAW FROM EVIDENCED-BASED PRACTICES SUCH AS PROBLEM-ORIENTED AND HOT SPOTS POLICING. TO FILL THIS GAP, CNA PROPOSES TO CONDUCT A RIGOROUS REVIEW OF CICS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ALONG WITH A MULTISITE EVALUATION OF CICS IN FOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. THE PROPOSED APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING THE OPERATIONS AND IMPACT OF CICS WILL INCLUDE A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW TO UNDERSTAND THE ORGANIZATIONAL STYLES AND APPROACHES OF CICS IMPLEMENTED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY; PROCESS EVALUATIONS TO DOCUMENT AND UNDERSTAND CIC ACTIVITIES, POLICIES, AND PROCEDURES; AND IMPACT EVALUATIONS TO DETERMINE HOW CICS AFFECT CRIME LEVELS AND CLEARANCE RATES (AS ASSESSED VIA ARRESTS). TO DISSEMINATE THE STUDY FINDINGS ACROSS A WIDE AUDIENCE OF PRACTITIONERS AND RESEARCHERS, CNA WILL DEVELOP AN IMPLEMENTATION GUIDEBOOK, IMPACT REPORTS, AND ACADEMIC JOURNAL ARTICLES, AS WELL AS PRESENT FINDINGS AT CONFERENCES. THE RIGOROUS NATURE OF OUR MULTISITE CASE STUDY METHODOLOGY WILL PRODUCE FINDINGS THAT ARE RELIABLE, VALID, AND USEFUL TO THE FIELD. THROUGH THE PROCESS AND IMPACT EVALUATIONS, WE WILL DEVELOP NUMEROUS ACTIONABLE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAN IMPROVE THE FIELD OF POLICING. OUR FINDINGS WILL DIRECTLY INFORM AGENCIES ABOUT THE BEST PRACTICES OF CICS THAT CREATE SUSTAINABLE IMPACTS ON CRIME PREVENTION EFFORTS. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USEFUL TO AGENCIES WITH CURRENT CICS AS WELL AS AGENCIES THAT ARE CONSIDERING IMPLEMENTING SIMILAR CIC PROGRAMS. THESE FINDINGS WILL PROVIDE KEY INFORMATION TO LAW ENFORCEMENT LEADERS AND POLICYMAKERS WHO MUST MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT HOW TO BEST INVEST THEIR PERSONNEL AND RESOURCES TO REDUCE CRIME AND BENEFIT THEIR COMMUNITIES. GIVEN THE IMPORTANT AND TIMELY NATURE OF THIS TOPIC, OUR DISSEMINATION PLAN WILL TRANSLATE FINDINGS INTO A VARIETY OF PRODUCTS FOR THE FIELD, INCLUDING BOTH SCHOLARLY AND PRACTITIONER COMMUNITIES.

RURAL PROGRAM FUNDS ARE USED TO SUPPORT PROGRAMS THAT: 1) IDENTIFY, ASSESS, AND APPROPRIATELY RESPOND TO CHILD, YOUTH, AND ADULT VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSAULT, DATING VIOLENCE, AND STALKING IN RURAL COMMUNITIES; 2) ESTABLISH AND EXPAND VICTIM SERVICES IN RURAL COMMUNITIES TO CHILD, YOUTH, AND ADULT VICTIMS; 3) INCREASE THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN RURAL COMMUNITIES, BY (A) DEALING DIRECTLY AND IMMEDIATELY WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSAULT, DATING VIOLENCE, AND STALKING; AND (B) CREATING AND IMPLEMENTING STRATEGIES TO INCREASE AWARENESS AND PREVENT THESE CRIMES; AND 4) DEVELOP, EXPAND, IMPLEMENT, AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF SEXUAL ASSAULT FORENSIC MEDICAL EXAMINATION OR SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER PROGRAMS. GRANTEES MUST USE AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING STRATEGIES IN IMPLEMENTING THEIR PROJECTS: 1) IMPLEMENT, EXPAND, AND ESTABLISH COOPERATIVE EFFORTS AND PROJECTS AMONG LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, PROSECUTORS, VICTIM SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES TO INVESTIGATE AND PROSECUTE INCIDENTS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, DATING VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSAULT, AND STALKING; 2) PROVIDE TREATMENT, COUNSELING, ADVOCACY, LEGAL ASSISTANCE, AND OTHER LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERM VICTIM AND POPULATION SPECIFIC SERVICES TO ADULT AND MINOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, DATING VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSAULT, AND STALKING IN RURAL COMMUNITIES; 3) WORK IN COOPERATION WITH THE COMMUNITY TO DEVELOP EDUCATION AND PREVENTION STRATEGIES DIRECTED TOWARD SUCH ISSUES; 4) DEVELOP, ENLARGE, OR STRENGTHEN PROGRAMS ADDRESSING SEXUAL ASSAULT; AND 5) DEVELOP PROGRAMS AND STRATEGIES THAT FOCUS ON THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF VICTIMS OF WHO RESIDE IN REMOTE RURAL AND GEOGRAPHICALLY ISOLATED AREAS. THROUGH THIS NEW OVW RURAL PROGRAM PROJECT, HELEN ROSS MCNABB CENTER, INC., IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NATALIE BLACHE, MD, WILL IMPLEMENT THE RURAL SEXUAL ASSAULT ADVOCACY EXPANSION PROJECT. THIS VICTIM SERVICE PROJECT ADDRESSES THE FOLLOWING PURPOSE AREAS: 1, 2, AND 3 FOR RURAL AREAS OF ANDERSON, BLOUNT, CAMPBELL, CLAIBORNE, COCKE, GRAINGER, HAMBLEN, JEFFERSON, KNOX, LOUDON, ROANE, SEVIER, AND UNION COUNTIES IN TENNESSEE. SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE: 1) EMPLOYING TWO SEXUAL ASSAULT ADVOCATES AND ONE EDUCATION SPECIALIST; 2) EXPANDING ACCESS TO DIRECT ADVOCACY, TRAUMA-INFORMED PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, AND CRISIS HOTLINE; 3) ENHANCING SEXUAL ASSAULT RESPONSE TEAM (SART) DEVELOPMENT; 4) IMPROVING REGIONAL COORDINATION AND OUTREACH TO UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS; AND 5) STRENGTHENING PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS.

ASSESSING TRANSGENDER HATE CRIME VICTIMIZATION AND LGBTQ LIAISON UNIT RESPONSE LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER, AND QUEER (LGBTQ) INDIVIDUALS FACE HIGH RATES OF DISCRIMINATION, MISTREATMENT, AND VICTIMIZATION IN VARIOUS CONTEXTS, INCLUDING THE WORKPLACE, MEDICAL SETTINGS, SCHOOL, INTIMATE PARTNER RELATIONSHIPS, AT THE HANDS OF STRANGERS, AND IN INTERACTIONS WITH JUSTICE SYSTEM ACTORS. WITHIN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY, THE RISK OF VIOLENT VICTIMIZATION IS HIGHLY CONCENTRATED AMONG TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS, AND ESPECIALLY TRANSGENDER PERSONS OF COLOR. BETWEEN 2014 AND 2022, THE NUMBER OF HATE CRIME INCIDENTS INVOLVING TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS REPORTED TO THE FBIS UNIFORM CRIME REPORT (UCR) PROGRAM INCREASED BY 364%. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES (AND ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST 10 YEARS), LARGER METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE INCREASINGLY USED SPECIALIZED LIAISON OFFICERS OR UNITS TO IMPROVE THEIR OUTREACH TO AND INTERACTIONS WITH THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. LGBTQ LIAISON OFFICERS AND UNITS PROVIDE A RANGE OF SERVICES WITHIN DEPARTMENTS, INCLUDING OUTREACH TO MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY, SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME, AND (IN SOME DEPARTMENTS) DIRECT RESPONSE TO HATE CRIMERELATED CALL FOR SERVICE. DESPITE GROWING IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE LIAISON SERVICES, THERE IS LITTLE SYSTEMATIC OR EMPIRICAL EVALUATION OF THESE UNITS, ESPECIALLY IN RELATION TO THEIR TRANSGENDER-SPECIFIC OUTREACH AND ABILITY TO REPORT, IDENTIFY, AND RESPOND TO TRANSGENDER HATE CRIME VICTIMIZATION. TO ADDRESS THIS GAP, WE PROPOSE A PARALLEL CONVERGENT MIXED-METHODS CASE STUDY RESEARCH DESIGN TO ASSESS THE EFFICACY OF POLICE DEPARTMENTS LGBTQ LIAISON SERVICES IN ADDRESSING TRANSGENDER-SPECIFIC HATE CRIME VICTIMIZATION AND RESPONSE. OUR MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROJECT TEAM WILL INCLUDE RESEARCHERS FROM CNAS CENTER FOR JUSTICE RESEARCH AND INNOVATION (JRI) AS WELL AS SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS WHO ARE WELL-VERSED IN CONSTRUCTING AND IMPLEMENTING LGBTQ LIAISON UNITS IN POLICE DEPARTMENTS. THE PROPOSED STUDY WILL INCLUDE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS DATA SOURCES, INCLUDING CALLS FOR SERVICE, SURVEYS, ON-SITE OBSERVATIONS, INTERVIEWS, AND COMMUNITY LISTENING SESSIONS. WITH THIS INTERDISCIPLINARY, MIXED METHODS STUDY, THE CNA TEAM WILL PRODUCE NUMEROUS ACTIONABLE FINDINGS, RECOMMENDATIONS, AND PRODUCTS THAT CAN IMPROVE THE FIELD OF POLICING, ESPECIALLY IN RELATION TO TRANSGENDER HATE CRIME VICTIMIZATION RESPONSE. THIS INVESTIGATION WILL ALSO LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR MORE RIGOROUS STUDIES THAT CAN USE EXPERIMENTAL OR QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS TO EXPLORE CAUSALITY BETWEEN APPROACHES AND OUTCOMES. GIVEN THE IMPORTANT AND TIMELY NATURE OF THIS TOPIC, WE WILL USE A RIGOROUS DISSEMINATION PLAN TO TRANSLATE FINDINGS INTO A VARIETY OF PRODUCTS FOR SCHOLARS AND PRACTITIONERS. CNA WILL UTILIZE OUR JUSTICETALKS PODCAST SERIES AND THE CNA INDEPTH BLOG, WRITE JOURNAL ARTICLES, AND PRESENT FINDINGS AT ACADEMIC CONFERENCES. CA/NCF

SWORN AND NON-SWORN MEMBERS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE DOCUMENTED AS HAVING POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES LINKED TO THEIR PROFESSION, INCLUDING HIGH RATES OF SUICIDE, DEPRESSION, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, WORK-RELATED BURNOUT, AND CARDIAC ARREST. AMONG THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THESE OUTCOMES ARE ORGANIZATIONAL AND CRITICAL INCIDENT STRESS. LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING INCREASED ATTRITION AS THEIR MEMBERS ALSO COPE WITH CUMULATIVE STRESS FROM EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AS WELL AS PROTESTS TO POLICE BRUTALITY. IN RECENT YEARS, TO COMBAT THIS STRESS AND PROVIDE COMFORT AND SUPPORT TO AGENCY PERSONNEL, SEVERAL LARGE AND SMALL AGENCIES HAVE INTEGRATED FULL-TIME THERAPY DOGS, TERMED STATION DOGS. THE BENEFITS OF THERAPY DOGS IN IMPROVING HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AND INFLUENCING CULTURE CHANGE IS WELL DOCUMENTED IN THE MEDICAL AND LEGAL SECTORS. HOWEVER, WHILE AT LEAST 40 POLICE AGENCIES IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE IMPLEMENTED A STATION DOG PROGRAM, THE RESEARCH DESCRIBING THE USE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE STATION DOG PROGRAMS IN POLICING IS LACKING, LEADING TO GAPS IN KNOWLEDGE REGARDING EFFICACY AND BEST PRACTICES. TO FILL THIS GAP, CNA, DR. RODRIGUEZ (UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA) AND THEIR PARTNERS AT K9S FOR WARRIORS (K9FW) PROPOSE TO CONDUCT A MIXED METHODS STUDY ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF STATION DOG PROGRAMS ON AGENCY MEMBER WELL-BEING, AGENCY COHESION, STAFFING RETENTION, AND POLICE-COMMUNITY RELATIONS. DR. ERIC PIZA AND KEN QUICK WHO CONDUCTED A PRIOR STUDY ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF STATION DOGS ON OFFICERS PERCEIVED ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT WILL SERVE AS SENIOR CONTRIBUTORS. THE PROPOSED STUDY WILL INCLUDE A PRE-POST SURVEY; INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS; A PROCESS EVALUATION; AND AN IMPACT EVALUATION. TO DISSEMINATE THE STUDY FINDINGS ACROSS A WIDE AUDIENCE OF PRACTITIONERS AND RESEARCHERS, CNA WILL UTILIZE OUR JUSTICETALKS PODCAST SERIES, CNA INDEPTH BLOG, WRITE ACADEMIC JOURNAL ARTICLES, AS WELL AS PRESENT FINDINGS AT CONFERENCES. THE INTERDISCIPLINARY NATURE OF THIS MIXED METHODS STUDY WILL PRODUCE FINDINGS THAT ARE USEFUL TO THE FIELD. THE CNA TEAM WILL DEVELOP NUMEROUS ACTIONABLE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAN IMPROVE THE FIELD OF POLICING. THE FINDINGS WILL DIRECTLY INFORM AGENCIES ABOUT THE PROMISING PRACTICES OF STATION DOG PROGRAMS ON AGENCY WELL-BEING AND POLICE-COMMUNITY RELATIONS. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USEFUL TO AGENCIES WITH CURRENT STATION DOG PROGRAMS AS WELL AS AGENCIES THAT ARE CONSIDERING IMPLEMENTING STATION DOG PROGRAMS. GIVEN THE IMPORTANT AND TIMELY NATURE OF THIS TOPIC, THEIR DISSEMINATION PLAN WILL TRANSLATE FINDINGS INTO A VARIETY OF PRODUCTS FOR THE FIELD, INCLUDING BOTH SCHOLARLY AND PRACTITIONER COMMUNITIES.CA/NCF

THE KANAWHA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS APPLYING FOR THIS GRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT THAT WILL BE UTILIZED FOR CRIME PREVENTION, CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATIONS AND OFFICER SAFETY.

1. AWARD PURPOSE: POLLINATOR PARTNERSHIP AIMS TO CONDUCT TARGETED OUTREACH AND AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT KEEPING TROPILAELAPS SPP. MITE FROM ESTABLISHING IN NORTH AMERICA AND PREPARE THE LARGER APIARY COMMUNITY TO RESPOND TO ITS POTENTIAL ARRIVAL. TROPILAELAPS-SPECIFIC TARGETED OUTREACH PROGRAM (TROPI-STOP) WILL SERVE AS AN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE FOR THE BEEKEEPING COMMUNITY, APIARY INSPECTORS, PORT AUTHORITIES, AND REGULATORS THAT WILL LEAD TO THE ENHANCED SAFEGUARDING OF HONEY BEE HEALTH. TROPI-STOP WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF APIARY PROFESSIONALS ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR, RECOGNIZING, AND ACTING ON THIS HIGH-CONSEQUENCE HONEY BEE COLONY THREAT. 2. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: TROPI-STOP WILL RAISE AWARENESS THROUGH THE CREATION AND USAGE OF A WALLET SIZED IDENTIFICATION CARD - PROMOTING ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS OF MITE INFESTATIONS. DIRECT ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE SETTING UP BOOTHS AND PRESENTING AT CONVENTIONS AND REGIONAL MEETINGS. THERE THEY WILL GET IDEAS FROM OUTREACH EVENT PARTICIPANTS AND SEEK PHOTO AND VIDEO CONTENT CONTRIBUTIONS. DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES WILL TIME ONLINE POSTS TO MAKE THEM MORE EFFECTIVE. THEY WILL WRITE AND APPROVE A TRAINING MANUAL AND ARTICLES ABOUT TROPILAELAPS, IN ORDER TO MAKE IT TOP-OF-MIND WITH INSPECTORS (BOTH APIARY AND PORT) AS WELL AS WITH BEEKEEPERS, RESEARCHERS, PROFESSORS, AND REGULATORS. 3. DELIVERABLES AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES: SUCCESS OF DIRECT OUTREACH EVENTS WILL BE JUDGED BY THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS, QUESTIONS ASKED AT EVENTS, AND IF EVENTS LEAD TO PAR TICIPATION IN THE CONNECTION NETWORK. SUCCESS OF DIGITAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH ACTIONS, SUCH AS POSTS/EVENTS/FORMS/VIDEOS, WILL BE MEASURED (TO THE EXTENT MEASUREMENT IS FEASIBLE) BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO RESPONDED TO, LISTENED TO, WATCHED, FILLED OUT, OPENED, VIEWED, AND/OR SHARED THEM. 4. INTENDED BENEFICIARY(IES): TROPI-STOP STARTS WITH THE PROTECTION OF HONEY BEE COLONIES THAT ALREADY FACE MULTIPLE THREATS EVERY YEAR WITH INCREASED MOVEMENT OF POTENTIAL PESTS AND DISEASES AROUND THE WORLD. THE ECONOMIC AND FOOD SECURITY IMPACT OF THE INTRODUCTION OF TROPILAELAPS INTO NORTH AMERICA WOULD BE STAGGERING. THE LIKELIHOOD OF THIS CAN BE PREVENTED WITH IMMEDIATE ACTION AND EDUCATION TO INFORM TARGETED AUDIENCES THAT HAVE THE HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD OF IDENTIFYING AND RESPONDING TO A SUSPECT SITUATION. THE SECONDARY BENEFITS INCLUDE PROVIDING RESOURCES BY WHICH APIARY INSPECTORS, PORT AUTHORITIES, SCIENTISTS, AND BEEKEEPERS CAN QUICKLY IDENTIFY, AND PROPERLY ADDRESS TROPILAELAPS THREATS TO HONEY BEE COLONIES, BUT ALSO PROVIDE COMMUNICATION CONDUITS ACROSS SECTORS THAT CAN INCREASE CONNECTIVITY IN THE FACE OF AN INTRODUCTION. THESE STRENGTHENED COMMUNICATION LINKS CAN BE EXERCISED THROUGH AN EDUCATED NETWORK OF PROFESSIONALS THAT CAN RESPOND TO THESE YET UNKNOWN THREATS TO HONEY BEE COLONIES. 5. SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES, IF KNOWN OR SPECIFIED AT THE TIME OF AWARD: SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS (RAMSEY, PETTIS, DOWNEY, AND APIARY INSPECTORS OF AMERICA) WILL PROVIDE INPUT, REVIEW MATERIALS, AND CONTRIBUTE TO TRAINING.
