Bureau of Justice Assistance

Description

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. The Connect and Protect: Law Enforcement Behavioral Health Response Program is part of the Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program (JMHCP). It offers grants to promote public safety and public health by helping entities prepare, create, or expand comprehensive plans and then implement these collaborative projects to target preliminarily qualified individuals with mental health disorders (MHDs) or co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (MHSUDs). BJA will only accept applications that demonstrate the proposed project will be administered jointly by an agency with responsibility for criminal or juvenile justice activities and a mental health agency.
