Training and Technical Assistance

CNA evaluates national TTA programs, such as the Bureau of Justice Assistance National Public Safety Partnership by tracking and measuring outcomes throughout each city’s three-year tenure in the partnership. Through our TTA, the Public Safety Partnership has successfully helped more than 40 agencies implement evidence-based practices, increase capacities to reduce violent crime, network with law enforcement peers, improve investigative and prosecution practices, and enhance analytic and technology capacities.

Four Aspects of Technical Assistance

Program Evaluation

CNA evaluates the national TTA programs such as the BJA Public Safety Partnership (PSP) by tracking and measuring outcomes throughout each city’s three-year tenure in the partnership. Through our TTA support, the PSP has successfully helped 35 agencies implement evidence-based practices, experience notable reductions in violent crime, network with law enforcement peers, improve investigative and prosecution practices, and enhance analytic and technology capacities

CNA designed the Officer Readiness Assessment Tool, which assesses a law enforcement agency’s wellness program and provides them with tailored methods and resources to immediately implement improvements.

Advancing 21ST Century Policing: Precision Policing Initiative

CNA developed this toolkit to help law enforcement agencies across the nation to share information about promising programs. This interactive presentation includes links to resources from the COPS Office Precision Policing Initiative (PPI) and other collaborative efforts to provide safer neighborhoods by leveraging partnerships, analysis, research and technology. The goal of this toolkit is to help police identify and implement similar activities that will benefit their own agencies.

Conferences & Workshops

CNA designs, plans, facilitates, and provides subject matter expertise for national meetings in person and virtually for numerous training and technical assistance initiatives, such as Body-Worn Camera TTA, the Smart Policing Initiative, the National Public Safety Partnership, and Project Safe Neighborhoods.
