Opportunity for Rural Counties to Receive FREE Technical Assistance on Data Collection for Public Defense Systems

July 25, 2024

The Center for Justice Innovation, the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform, and OSPD are offering no-cost assistance to three counties interested in understanding and better addressing their specific data needs related to indigent defense. The project seeks to improve the availability, quality and use of data in administering indigent defense services. Selected counties will receive assistance on what data points to collect, where and how to access the data, and how to analyze the data for decision-making.  This opportunity is open to counties without an institutional county public defender office.

Learn more about the project and apply here today. See attached flyer for more information. For questions, email caneel.fraser@ospd.ca.gov.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis this summer. Site visits and assistance will begin this fall.
