Partners In Justice Project

~A Completed Project~

LEADERSHIP IN STAFF DEVELOPMENT

The Maine Partners in Justice Team (representing the University of Maine Center for Community Inclusion and Disability Studies, the Disability Rights Center, the Maine Criminal Justice Academy and the Maine Department of Behavioral and Developmental Services) significantly modified a curriculum originally developed by the Institute on Disabilities (UCEDD) at Temple University under a contract from the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation. The Maine Partners in Justice Team has delivered training to more than 300 cadets at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy in the last two years and the training has become a permanent component of the Basic Law Enforcement Training Program required of every new law enforcement officer in Maine.
