What Types of Training and Technical Assistance Are Available?
OJJDP encourages the development of community delinquency prevention strategies
that are positive in orientation and comprehensive in scope. To enhance the capacity
of communities to formulate and implement locally-driven comprehensive delinquency
prevention plans, OJJDP makes training and TA available through a contract with
Development Services Group, Inc. (DSG).
DSG provides the following types
of training and technical assistance free of charge:

high-level agency/ organization executives, planners,
researchers, and business leaders to familiarize
them with the research basis for risk and protection-focused

community mobilization strategies, and data collection
needs is provided. The training is provided on-site
in each community.

plan and identifying effective and promising programs.

Who
Should Attend the Training?
Title V training is for community
leaders, planners, researchers, program developers and private individuals who
are involved in mobilizing the community, controlling resources, effecting policy
changes, and developing programs. Representatives should come from public agencies
and private organizations serving children, youth and families, such as:
- Health
and mental health
- Education
- Juvenile justice
- Child protection/child welfare
- Employment
- Law enforcement
- Public defenders and prosecutors
- Religion
- Parent/family/youth associations

The
PPB should also contain, to the greatest extent possible, one or more members
under the age of 21 and parents of children involved in the juvenile justice system.
The cross-section of participants should include all of the racial/ethnic/cultural
groups represented within the community.
