Description
The State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) is administered by the Kansas Governor’s Grants Program (KGGP), with federal funding from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance. It supports efforts to prevent or reduce gun violence and violent crime by identifying risk factors and intervening before harm occurs. Supported work includes behavioral health crisis intervention, referrals to community services, law enforcement crisis intervention, and related court proceedings, including mental health, drug, and veterans’ treatment courts.
Kansas’s SCIP Advisory Board guides priorities, strategies, budgets, and the subaward process. The state plan emphasizes court-based programming, community-based services for people in crisis, law enforcement crisis intervention, and evaluation of funded projects. Evaluation funding supports research on project effectiveness and the collection and analysis of performance data.
