Thank you for your interest in the Project Safe Neighborhoods Gun Violence Reduction Training. This no-cost training will be offered on Tuesday July 14th and Wednesday July 15th, 2015 at the US Attorney’s Office Eastern District of Louisiana office located at 650 Poydras Street, Suite 1600, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130. Training is restricted to sworn law enforcement and prosecutors only.
Following the Characteristics of Armed Persons course law enforcement will walk away with tips on making observations of an individual’s bodily movement, clothing behaviors, stop and frisks, crime gun recovery, keen observations during traffic stops, report writing and testimony for successful prosecution. This program is specifically designed for uniformed police officers/agents, as well as other line officers. This course includes detailed instruction on identifying characteristics of persons who carry concealed firearms, legal issues regarding stop and frisk, and articulating probable cause for searches. It will also address how participants, between ATF, state, and local police departments can impact gun violence on our streets.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is dedicated to the fight against armed violent crime, one of the country’s primary public safety concerns. ATF is committed to working for a sound and safer America through innovation and partnerships. A key component of ATF’s enforcement mission is the tracing of firearms. Firearms tracing is the systematic tracking of the movement of a firearm recovered by law enforcement. This trace data is critically important information developed by ATF to assist state and local law enforcement in investigating and solving violent crimes. Trace data tracks the transfer of a firearm from the importer or manufacturer to the firearm’s first purchaser. Information obtained can assist law enforcement in ultimately pinpointing the individual who used the firearm to commit a particular crime.
The National Gang Center (NGC) is a project jointly funded by the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). The NGC program works to further the mission of DOJ by providing national leadership, information, training, and technical assistance that target gangs and street gang members of all ages. Serving researchers, policymakers, and practitioners nationally, NGC activities contribute to reductions in gang-related crime and violence and gang activity by juveniles and adults
National District Attorneys Association was formed in 1950 by local prosecutors to give a focal point to advance their causes and issues at the national level. NDAA representatives regularly meet with the Department of Justice, members of Congress and other national associations to represent the views of prosecutors to influence federal and national policies and programs that affect law enforcement and prosecution.
