WEBINAR: HOW LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES PARTNER IN A REENTRY INITIATIVE May 11, 2011
Posted by FairSentencing in : Current News , trackbackOn May 25, 2011, the National Reentry Resource Center (NRRC) will host a free webinar on the role law enforcement agencies can play in offender reentry. The webinar, “Law Enforcement and Reentry – From Start to Finish,” will feature three innovative examples of police-led reentry initiatives. Each example will focus on the key reasons to involve law enforcement agencies in reentry initiatives—from planning and implementation to monitoring and issuing violations. Focusing on the Justice Center’s Planning and Assessing A Law Enforcement Reentry Strategy toolkit, Justice Center staff and presenters will discuss
- How policing as part of a reentry initiative is different from other policing initiatives (i.e., it is more collaborative and doesn’t emphasize “trailing, nailing, and jailing ’em”);
- Effective strategies along the reentry continuum;
- How engaging in reentry is part of a community policing framework and can enhance partnerships with community and faith-based organizations;
- Unique regional and geographic considerations (e.g., Utah has a higher number of arrests due to DUIs, which contributes to reentry issues not found in other areas of the country); and
- Examples of promising reentry programs managed by police agencies.
The webinar will feature presentations by:
- Laura Draper, Policy Analyst, Council of State Governments Justice Center Law Enforcement Initiatives
- Chief Ron Davis, East Palo Alto (CA) Police Department
- Detective Kim Bogucki, Seattle (WA) Police Department
- Hillary Freeman, Director, Community Justice Project (MN)
After the presentations, participants will have an opportunity to ask questions.
The webinar, supported by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, will be held at 2:00 pm (ET) on Wednesday, May 25, 2011. To register for the webinar, click here.
