The Superior Court of Guam was awarded a $771,508 Project Grant under the Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative (CFDA 16.812) by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance. The grant funding will support the Guam SMART Supervision Project, which aims to increase community safety by improving the capacity of adult probation services to address probationers' risks and needs more effectively. Key activities include implementing evidence-based tools, programs, and best practices to improve participant outcomes and reduce recidivism, updating probation policies and procedures, delivering training in evidence-based practices, and addressing the health and wellness of probation officers. The project will also gather data on the probation population to better understand risks, needs, and outcomes, particularly for high-risk, high-need offenders and underserved groups. The award has a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
