BJA FY 11 Violent Gang and Gun Crime Reduction Program (Project Safe Neighborhoods): Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is designed to create safer neighborhoods through a sustained reduction in crime associated with gang and gun violence. The program's effectiveness is based on the cooperation of local, state, and federal agencies engaged in a unified approach led by the U.S. Attorney (USA) in each of the 94 federal judicial districts. Each USA is responsible for establishing a collaborative PSN task force of federal, state, and local law enforcement and other community members to implement gang and gun crime enforcement, intervention and prevention initiatives within the district. Through the PSN task force, each USA will implement the five design features of PSNpartnerships, strategic planning, training, outreach, and accountabilityto address specific gun and gang crime problems in that district. Details on the five design features (also referred to as core elements) can be found later in this grant announcement and online at www.ncjrs.gov/html/bja/205263/. Note that while grant awards for this FY 2011 program are based on a formula, in future years, if funds are appropriated, grant awards will be made through a competitive process to encourage and focus funding in high-performing and evidence-based programs where the need is greatest. This initiative is authorized by the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (Pub. L.112-10) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-117).
