This initiative is intended to improve communication and collaboration between state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve to address the unique criminal justice challenges in rural areas.The organization awarded under this solicitation would be expected to provide TTA services for the site-based awardees receiving funding under the Rural Violent Crime Reduction Initiative. That solicitation can be found here.
