Maryland

​

"The support and guidance provided by the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) and Allison Badger have been instrumental in helping Maryland’s Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention and Policy in the development of a 3 year Statewide Strategic Plan. NCJA's deep expertise, collaborative approach, and commitment to evidence-based practices have significantly strengthened our ability to align policy, funding and programming with our unique public safety priorities."

"Through their technical assistance and facilitation, NCJA helped us engage diverse stakeholders, identify pressing needs and develop a comprehensive strategic plan that is both practical and forward-thinking. Their team brought invaluable insight into federal funding opportunities, operational improvements, best practices and data-driven decision-making, ensuring our planning process was not only inclusive but also impactful."

"We have subsequently engaged with NCJA on several other projects, including a task force examining restraint related in-custody deaths and a strategic planning session for the Baltimore City Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. We look forward to a long relationship, utilizing NCJA’s staff expertise to position our state to better serve our communities and improve outcomes across the criminal justice system."
