​​This SCIP funding aims to provide funding to counties across Wisconsin to support community-based violence intervention programs, which could include, but is not limited to, diversion programs for non-violent firearms offenders who come into contact with the court system; postvention programs or other support initiatives for gun violence survivors; educational programming for individuals involved in gun-related court cases; or community crisis intervention initiatives to prevent retaliation. Each county can implement programming specific to their local area and its needs to maximize impact on the community and decrease firearms deaths locally. By focusing on each county individually, the Wisconsin Department of Justice hopes to address individual counties’ needs, thereby hopefully reducing the number of deaths by firearm in Wisconsin.
