PSP 2021 Sites
Now Accepting Applications
Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the National Public Safety Partnership (PSP) is currently accepting applications for 2021 sites. PSP serves as a Department of Justice (DOJ)-wide program that enables participating sites to consult with and receive expedited, coordinated training and technical assistance (TTA) and an array of resources from DOJ to enhance local public safety strategies. This model enables DOJ to provide jurisdictions of different sizes and diverse needs with data-driven, evidence-based strategies tailored to the unique local needs of participating cities to help build their capacities to address violent crime challenges. PSP offers cities the opportunity to take advantage of:
- Three years of formal engagement, coordinated through BJA, to support DOJ’s commitment to and partnerships with jurisdictions on building capacity, increasing collaboration, and sharing promising practices in a variety of public safety areas.
- Needs-based strategic assessments to support their cities’ violent crime prevention and community engagement efforts.
- Access to subject-matter expert consultation and customized TTA.

NW3C On-Demand Webinar
A Money-Laundering Primer
Hosted by the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) and funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, this on-demand webinar discusses money laundering as an integral part of most crime and terror finance. From local crime and tax avoidance to transnational networks, the source of money is masked, but the money is usable in the legitimate worlds of business and finance. This requires the professionals involved to exercise expertise, business acumen, and power influence. The webinar will walk through the basic elements of the money-laundering process, describe the phases of money laundering, define money laundering, identify the elements of a money-laundering network, highlight areas particularly vulnerable to money laundering, discuss case studies of different types of money laundering, and enable possible detection/identification of money-laundering activities.
