Objective
Goal(s):
The purpose of the Innovative Prosecution Solutions (IPS) for Combating Violent Crime Program is to provide state, local, and tribal prosecutors with resources to reduce crime and increase public safety. The program encourages prosecutors and agencies to use data in the development of their strategies and programs and to develop effective, economical, and innovative responses to crime within their jurisdictions.
Objective(s):
IPS programs test data-driven approaches that address one or more of the objectives listed below. Successful applicants will work closely with BJA staff to assist prosecutorial agencies in incorporating innovative or evidence-based prosecution strategies as a fundamental component of their effort to ensure public safety.
Required Objectives:
• Test, establish, and/or expand programming that enhances prosecutors’ ability to effectively and sustainably prevent and respond to crime, especially violent crime, which could include the hiring of new prosecutors.
• Foster effective, formalized, and consistent collaborations with external agencies, and the communities they serve, to increase public safety.
• Use technology, intelligence, and data in innovative ways that enable prosecutors’ offices to focus resources on the people and places associated with high concentrations of crime and to allow state and local prosecutors’ offices to improve their operations in an effort to more efficiently and effectively aid communities in achieving a reduction in crime.
• Enable prosecutors’ offices to reduce caseloads to manageable levels through office modernization, hiring analytical or support staff, and updating information technology.
