Step One: Develop a Strategy
The PSN Task Force should meet to discuss an overall strategy to
support their efforts. Generally, almost anything intended to reduce
gun or gang violence will be acceptable. The task force should develop a
plan that lists all of the initiatives you wish to fund along with
the tentative funding amounts to go to each.
To develop either strategy, the task force may wish to target new prosecutors to key areas, support increased enforcement or investigations,
provide intensive supervision programs, augment your research or
community outreach efforts, engage in prevention or intervention efforts, or focus
on other such strategies. The research and media partners should be consulted to educate the task force on the crucial needs and help
guiding the strategy session.
At this point, because the task force is not making decisions regarding
the actual grantees or subcontractors for this program, the U.S.
Attorney and his or her staff may be included in this strategy session.
