Announcement—Availability
of Technical Assistance Services
National
Drug Court Training and Technical Assistance Initiative:
Statewide Technical Assistance
The
National Center for
State Courts, in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, is
pleased to announce the availability of statewide drug court technical
assistance funds and services. The
National Center for State Courts will provide statewide technical
assistance services to state administrative offices of courts and
state alcohol and drug agencies, including (1) on-site technical
assistance; (2) off-site technical assistance (i.e., facilitating
peer-to-peer consultation via e-mail and conference calls); and (3) a
series of publications to further integrate drug courts into the
mainstream of court operations.
The
primary purpose of the statewide technical assistance initiative is to
provide direct aid and information to the state-level agencies that
(1) enhances the leadership of the statewide drug court effort (2)
improves coordination and collaboration among the drug court agencies
and (3) increases the likelihood for the institutionalization of drug
courts into the mainstream of court operations.
Based
upon the responses to a national Needs Assessment Survey, the
following five areas may be given preference for technical assistance
services: (1) Strategies for developing and maintaining drug court
funding, (2) Development of drug court performance indicators, (3)
Strategies for statewide drug court evaluation, (4) Developing
statewide treatment standards, and (5) Generating "buy-in"
for statewide drug courts from various stakeholders.
Please be advised, however, that all requests will be
considered for technical assistance services by the Bureau of Justice
Assistance and the National Center
for State Courts.
The
Statewide Technical Assistance Initiative is funded by the Bureau of
Justice Assistance through the National
Drug Court Training and Technical Assistance Initiative, Fiscal Year
2005 and 2006.
