Enhance your PSN efforts through training and technical assistance
PSN teams have access to a range of training and technical assistance opportunities, resources, and subject matter experts.
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Training and Technical Assistance (TTA)
PSN is a nationwide initiative that brings together federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement officials, prosecutors, community-based partners, and other stakeholders to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in a community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them.
PSN is supported by enhanced training and technical assistance resources from leading national organizations. The PSN TTA program is led by CNA’s Institute for Public Research (CNA) with support from TTA partners, Michigan State University (MSU), the National Center for Victims of Crime (NCVC), and the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA).
