PSN Anti-Gang Training
The Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to sponsor the Project Safe Neighborhoods Anti-Gang Training, which began in 2007 with the pilot in Dover, Delaware. This training features 4 tracks: the Executive Track, the Line Law Enforcement Track, the Investigators and Prosecutors Track, and the Intervention and Prevention Track. Due to the success of this program, DOJ has scheduled additional training sessions throughout 2010.
To date, 4,200 sworn and non-sworn personnel have completed Anti-Gang Training administered by DOJ and its federal and national partners. For more information about the trainings, download the flyer (PDF) or visit www.iir.com/psnagt/.
Project Safe Neighborhoods Evaluation Released
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has released an evaluation of the development and implementation of the Project Safe Neighborhoods program. The evaluation found a greater decline in violent crime in cities that implemented PSN programs than in cities that did not, with the greatest reductions found in cities with a high level of federal prosecution. Learn more about these findings.
