Description: The Smart Pretrial Demonstration Initiative (SPDI), administered by BJA, is part of BJA&#146;s &#147;Smart Suite&#148; of crime fighting programs&#151;Smart Prosecution, Smart Policing, Smart Supervision, and now Smart Pretrial. BJA established the first program within this Smart Suite over 4 years ago with the launch of Smart Policing. Smart Policing supports law enforcement agencies in building evidence-based, data-driven law enforcement tactics and strategies that are effective, efficient, and economical. For more information on Smart Policing, see the program&#146;s most recent fact sheet: www.smartpolicinginitiative.com/sites/all/files/SPI_One_Pager_2013.pdf. The Smart Suite represents a strategic approach that brings more &#147;science&#148; into criminal justice operations by leveraging innovative applications of analysis, technology, and evidence-based practices with the goal of improving performance and effectiveness while containing costs; an important consideration in today&#146;s fiscal environment. The FY 2014 SPDI grant program seeks to build upon analysis-driven, evidence-based pretrial justice by encouraging local and tribal jurisdictions to effectively implement risk assessment and appropriate supervision and/or diversion strategies targeting pretrial outcomes within their jurisdictions.
