FY 13 BJA Visiting Fellows Program: BJA's mission is to provide leadership and services in grant administration and criminal justice policy development to support local, state, and tribal justice strategies to achieve safer communities. BJA supports programs and initiatives in the areas of law enforcement, justice information sharing, countering terrorism, managing offenders, combating drug crime and abuse, adjudication, advancing tribal justice, crime prevention, protecting vulnerable populations, and capacity building. Driving BJA's work in the field are the following principles: - Emphasize local control. - Build relationships in the field. - Provide training and technical assistance in support of efforts to prevent crime, drug abuse, and violence at the national, state, and local levels. - Develop collaborations and partnerships. - Promote capacity building through planning. - Streamline the administration of grants. - Increase training and technical assistance. - Create accountability of projects. - Encourage innovation. - Communicate the value of justice efforts to decision makers at every level. BJA has four primary components: Policy, Programs, Planning, and the Public Safety Officers' Benefits Office. The Fellows will work in the Policy Office, which provides national leadership in criminal justice policy, training, and technical assistance to further the administration of justice. It also acts as a liaison to national organizations that partner with BJA to set policy and help disseminate information on best and promising practices. These Fellows will be placed to work in partnership with one of BJA's four Policy Office Teams: Adjudication and Law Enforcement, Justice Systems, Justice Information Sharing, and Strategic Initiatives.
