Minnesota Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program
The Minnesota Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program will create and implement extreme risk protection order programs, state crisis intervention court proceedings and related gun violence reduction programs and initiatives.
The goal is to reduce gun violence in Minnesota, which is on the rise. This rise in gun violence is evident by increases in community gun violence, domestic violence and suicides.
Specific activities and outcomes will be developed after the formation of the Crisis Intervention Advisory Board. The board's strategy development will include data collection and evaluation to support the Department of Justice's effectiveness evaluation.
As required, Minnesota will pass-through a 40 percent portion to local government and the less-than-$10,000 share. All subrecipients will receive prior Bureau of Justice Assistance approval.
