FY 2009 Adult Drug Court Planning and Training Program

The Bureau of Justice Assistance’s (BJA) Adult Drug Court Planning and Training Program supports the Adult Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program (42 U.S.C. 3797u et seq.), which assists communities to develop effective drug court strategies for nonviolent substance-abusing offenders through two components. The first component, the Adult Drug Court Planning Initiative, assists jurisdictions in the planning and development of new drug court programs; the second component, the Adult Drug Court Training Initiative, offers a menu of training options to access and incorporate into local, regional and, statewide drug court training events.
