For those interested, please be advised that the Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program - Cohort 2 Virtual Information Session will take place on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, at 1:30 PM PST.
The Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (Byrne SCIP) provides federal funding to implement state gun crisis intervention court proceedings and related programs or initiatives, including, but not limited to, extreme risk protection order (ERPO) programs that work to keep firearms out of the hands of people who pose a threat to themselves or others, mental health courts, drug courts, and veterans’ treatment courts.
The goal of BSCC’s Byrne SCIP program is a multipronged approach to decreasing gun violence in California, supporting local jurisdictions in their efforts to improve firearms relinquishment procedures and supporting the enhancement of collaborative court programs that address behavioral health issues, with a focus on people who are at higher risk for gun violence. BSCC will implement this plan by way of two sets of subawards.
Please contact Board of State and Community Corrections Staff via email at ByrneSCIP2@bscc.ca.gov for additional information about this notice, to submit written material regarding an agenda item or to request special accommodations for persons with disabilities. This agenda and additional information about the BSCC may be found on our website at www.bscc.ca.gov.
