Overview

Mission

Training/education of prosecuting attorneys and staff

What it reported doing in 2025

Spring statewide seminar, education was provided on a variety of subjects (ethics, case law update, how a little known regulation can help save lives; octn, cjis, pdk, eap: acronyms are everywhere, what they mean, why they matter, and how they can help you; special victims best practices; historical cell site evidence in criminal prosecutors; extraditions and governors warrants; jury instructions; psychological safety: the key to high performing legal teams.)

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 70% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
