This seventh issue of the Quarterly Newsletter (April-June 2016) of the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ's) Violence Reduction Network (VRN) features VRN updates nationwide, including VRN personnel changes, lessons learned and sustainment principles from the VRN Sustainability Workshop, and highlights of a Social Network Analysis training delivered to nearly all VRN sites.
Abstract
The VRN Site Highlights section reflects on resource deliveries and outcomes achieved in the VRN sites this quarter, including enhanced analytic capacities, incorporation of training concepts into VRN site agency roll-call training, revised CompStat processes, and joint law enforcement operations. In addition, the newsletter provides insight on how to benefit from peer-exchange opportunities, and a spotlight on DEA resources available to the VRN sites. The cumulative statistics as of June 30, 2016, cover numbers on the VRN customer satisfaction rating, peer exchanges, training and technical assistance hours, and various training opportunities.
