Criminal Justice Planning

DETCOG assists local governments and non-profit agencies with grant writing technical assistance for projects which make our communities safer.  These programs are funded through the Governor's Office Criminal Justice Division. Grant programs include Direct Services to Victims, the Violence Against Women Act, the Justice Assistance Grant program and Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention. 

​

We also  train and assist local community leaders in developing local and regional plans that identify gaps in services and funding, assess the needs of the region as related to juvenile justice, law enforcement, victim services, courts and prosecution, as well as prioritizing the identified needs.
