The Utah State Legislature passed HB145, State and Local Agencies' Crime Reduction Plans , during the 1999 Legislative Session. As part of its administrative duties, CCJJ will create a statewide crime reduction plan and hold one or more statewide crime reduction planning conferences.
Grant funding is now available.
In preparation for administering this new grant program, our office has met with both Chiefs and Sheriffs to provide advance notice of the requirements in HB145 and strategize how to best utilize the grant dollars. The associations also determined that the planning group will be the designated subgrantee on behalf of all Chiefs and Sheriffs. State criminal justice agencies may apply directly to CCJJ for funding. Enclosed please find a survey form that has been developed through a cooperative effort between CCJJ and the law enforcement planning group. The completed surveys will form the core of the Statewide Crime Reduction Plan and your participation will ensure that the final plan is complete and accurate.
