Bureau of Justice Assistance

Description

The Tribal Justice Capacity Building Training and Technical Assistance Program is a comprehensive approach by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to deliver training and technical assistance (TTA) on a variety of tribal justice issues to Indian Country. The TTA must provide tribal jurisdictions with assistance to: (1) develop strategies to address crimes relating to substance abuse and other controlled substances, and (2) implement and enhance tribal justice systems. TTA awards will be funded through BJA’s Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program, established by Pub. L. 106-553, and Tribal Courts Assistance Program, authorized by 25 U.S.C. 3681(a).
