In collaboration with The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center, the Center for Policing Equity (CPE) is hosting a virtual learning community focused on establishing and supporting community violence intervention programs as alternatives to law enforcement responses.

The learning community will be led by CPE, a leader in public safety redesign , and include opportunities for mutual learning through peer-to-peer support and guidance from leading experts in the field. Throughout the learning community, teams will work toward building, implementing, or enhancing community violence intervention programs and exploring pathways to prevent violent community interactions and recidivism.

Upon completion of the learning community, teams will be equipped with an action plan, including an implementation and funding plan. To build the plan, teams will work through a planning and implementation guide that covers key topics such as goal setting, applying data, resource mapping, policy review, program development, and sustainability.

Session dates will occur on:

● November 14, 2024: Kick-off session with other learning community cohorts
● January 30, 2025
● February 27, 2025
● March 27, 2025
● April 24, 2025
● May 22, 2025

Participating teams will also be required to join a related Data Connections program with three additional session dates and office hours. See the next page for more information.

All sessions will take place 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET via Zoom web meeting.

Teams who are interested in participating should complete and submit this application by 11:59 p.m. ET on October 25, 2024. A CPE staff member will follow up with applicants by November 4, 2024.
