Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) |
The National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP) and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), U.S. Department of Justice, have joined together to establish the Community Policing/Community-Based Court Mentor Network (hereafter referred to as the Network). The Network will showcase innovative linkages between community policing programs, drug courts and other community- based courts. Modeled after the highly successful NADCP Mentor Drug Court Network, this Network, too, will foster the development of educational and training resources on the local, regional and state levels. Additionally, the referral system will link selected courts to requests for assistance from jurisdictions seeking to create or improve linkages with law enforcement. This project also will promote community involvement and participation in the process. |
