OJJDP continues its commitment to programs and initiatives that focus on fostering police-youth relationships and enhancing law enforcement efforts to address and prevent youth victimization and violence. Additionally, through initiatives such as the Changing Minds campaign and the Enhancing Law Enforcement Response to Children Exposed to Violence project, officers can gain a better understanding of the impact of a child's exposure to violence and the positive role police can play in supporting affected youth. Supporting Efforts to Protect YouthOJJDP works with law enforcement agencies across the country to protect children from victimization, exploitation and abuse - including in online, social media and other multi-platform environments. Established in 1998, OJJDP's 61 Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task forces represent more than 4,500 federal, state, and local law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies. ICAC helps state and local law enforcement agencies develop an effective response to technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and Internet crimes against children. In FY 2019, OJJDP issued 71 awards totaling $36.3 million to support ICAC efforts around the country. In 2019, ICAC task force programs conducted more than 81,000 investigations and 85,700 forensic exams. These efforts resulted in the arrests of more than 9,500 individuals. Working to Prevent Youth ViolenceOJJDP has long supported research, evaluation, training and technical assistance, and demonstration programs aimed at preventing and combating youth violence. For example, in FY 2019, OJJDP awarded more than $14.5 million in funding to address youth gangs and violence. Through youth mentoring programs, law enforcement and others can help support the positive development of youth, improving self-esteem and reducing delinquent acts. In FY 2019, OJJDP awarded more than $83 million and provided 10,141 hours of technical assistance to mentoring organizations, to include Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA). Bigs in Blue, a program of the BBBSA, was launched in Dallas in 2017. The program was established as a way to build relationships between residents and officers. This program matches police officers, "bigs" with "littles," children who largely come from poor or single-parent homes, or who have an incarcerated parent. Nationwide, more than 82 Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies sponsor Bigs in Blue initiatives that, in total, have matched 1,090 police officers with youngsters in the communities they patrol. Learn more about how Bigs in Blue are making a difference in communities. Additionally, the National Gang Center (NGC), is a clearinghouse for gang-related research information, and resources such as the evidence-based Comprehensive Gang Model and the Strategic Planning Tool. The center offers customized training and technical assistance to help communities address their unique gang problems. Program Reviews and Research
OJJDP's Model Programs Guide (MPG) is an online searchable database of evidence-based juvenile justice and youth prevention, intervention, and reentry programs. Captured on MPG are reviews of programs that relate to law enforcement activities and efforts, including youth-focused policing strategies. MPG Literature Reviews provide practitioners and policymakers with relevant research and evaluations on more than 50 juvenile justice topics, including interactions between youth and law enforcement, community- and problem-oriented policing, gang prevention and protective factors against delinquency. PublicationsToolkit Supports Law Enforcement Responses to Children Exposed to Violence"Enhancing Police Responses to Children Exposed to Violence" is an OJJDP-funded toolkit, developed by the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Yale Child Study Center.
