Commissioner of public safety may award a grant to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to conduct training, technical support, and peer learning for counties implementing "Right on Crime" juvenile detention reform strategies.

Grant recipient must identify and support counties statewide in implementing eight core strategies from the Annie E. Casey Foundation covering collaboration, data use, objective admissions criteria, nonsecure alternatives, case processing reforms, special detention cases, racial disparities reduction, and confinement conditions.

Grant recipient must provide training and technical support to counties as they implement strategies and consistently collect and report data on system problems, strategy adaptation, and impact of capacity-building activities.

Most of the appropriated grant money must be used to benefit greater Minnesota, with a portion designated specifically for counties to implement juvenile detention reform.

$1,500,000 appropriated for fiscal year 2018 and $1,500,000 for fiscal year 2019 from the general fund to the commissioner of public safety.
