Editor's Notes
The State Administering Agency is the executive branch agency designated by the Governor to accept designated federal criminal justice funds. Because of this responsibility, these agencies serve as the primary coordinating body for state and local public safety issue identification, collaboration, planning, and policy development and implementation. Ideally the SAA should also assume strategic planning, training and information sharing responsibilities to assure that the agency functions as a single source for best criminal justice practices. As the primary source of criminal justice information, the SAA is the entity that should be the communicator of these issues to the state’s legislature and to the state’s members of Congress. The CEO of the Agency, the State Administering Authority, must provide the leadership in each of these arenas, and must provide the expertise and direction to effectively fulfill the duties imposed by these mandates.
Huge advantage in Illinois because have the SAC as part of the agency. And it is a robust SAC that does a lot of great things – collecting data, providing analysis which is a huge move nationally towards this, and evaluation component to provide meaningful information and feedback.IL used a wonderful mix of methodologies to engage your stakeholdersIL viewed as the gold standard because of this and the results of your workMany states fund only drug task forces with their Byrne JAG dollars. See them as their highest priority because of the results of their work and their impact on public safety across their states – placed like CA, AZ and TX.NCJA assisting SAAs as part of TTA grant from BJA.
