In 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), provided CNA with funding to develop case studies on the organizational impacts of HSGs in an effort to produce a field guide documenting promising practices. CNA will conduct case studies of two agencies already benefiting from HSGs: Richmond, Virginia, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg, North Carolina. Each case study report will explain how the HSG program started as well as examining program operations and achievements and documenting lessons learned. These reports from three exemplary programs will form the basis for Engaging Victims of Crime with Empathy and Compassion: A Field Guide for Establishing Homicide Support Groups, a field guide to support law enforcement agencies in developing a strategic approach to implementing a successful HSG program in their communities. Engaging Victims of Crime with Empathy and Compassion: A Field Guide for Establishing Homicide Support Groups will likely be available for release in the spring or summer of 2021.

To do so, we conducted on-site qualitative data collection at the three sites, which revealed common themes among the sites regarding stakeholders, COP technology implementation, and theuse of certain COP technology features. This report lays the groundwork for future work by law enforcementagenciesand researchers in exploring COP technology use andimplementation in law enforcement settings. Researchers and practitioners must further study the efficacy of COP technology in achieving law enforcement goals, such as improving community response, reducing injuries, and preventing or reducing violent crime.
