PSN Anti-Gang Training

The Department of Justice (DOJ) will continue 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. In 2008 and 2009, a total of 12 Anti-Gang Training sessions were conducted at various locations (PDF) throughout the nation. Due to the success of this program, DOJ has scheduled additional training sessions for the remainder of 2009 and throughout 2010.

To date, 3,388 sworn and non-sworn personnel have completed Anti-Gang Training administered by DOJ and its federal and national partners.

PSN-Public Housing Training

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), in coordination with Justice Programs Office at American University, has developed a new 2-day training program to assist jurisdictions with combating violent crime in public housing. This training program will focus on a variety of tools and resources available to assist law enforcement in addressing public safety issues in public housing. It will also focus on the benefits of partnerships between law enforcement, local housing officials, private management companies, and tenants, to coordinate efforts in addressing criminal activity. For more information, see the training announcement (PDF) and the training agenda (PDF).
