In Colorado, Byrne JAG state funding has assisted with numerous innovative initiatives and supports:
Aurora Police Department’s (APD) gang/violence-prevention project (ViP) under Aurora's Gang Reduction Impact Program (A-GRIP), with the goals of decreasing the attractiveness of gangs, reducing risk factors for gang membership/violence and increasing protective factors, and providing opportunities for youth/families to build positive relationships with the APD. The ViP’s programming will be provided by Friends for Youth, Hood Monsters, and the APD's Aurora for Youth.
Comprehensive case management system (CMS) for the District Attorney's Office, 2nd Judicial District, in partnership with the Colorado District Attorney’s Council and law enforcement, in a project to ensure the safety of individuals who face an imminent threat of danger directly related to their participation in the criminal justice system. This CMS will allow law enforcement/prosecution to identify, collect, securely share, and weigh possible protection needs. Supervisors can track expenditures and assess the success of their teams.
Pre-sentence assessment and treatment services for first-time juveniles accused of sexual offenses, where no other source of funding is available. The project will allow the District Attorney to more accurately assess the risk level of first-time juveniles accused of sexual offenses, to assure they get appropriate supervision and treatment, and to prevent them from moving deeper into the criminal justice system.
