The Shannon Community Safety Initiative (CSI) is a multi-pronged approach to address a community’s gang and youth violence problem. The program focuses on five strategy areas:
- Social intervention
- Suppression
- Opportunity Provision
- Organizational Change
- Community Mobilization
Shannon CSI incorporates the key elements of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) Comprehensive Gang Model. The program supports regional, multi-disciplinary approaches to combat gang violence through coordinated prevention, intervention, law enforcement, prosecution, and reentry programs.
This program is made available through state funding.

Related Funding Opportunities
Shannon CSI includes a research component made up of the Local Action Research Partners (LARPs) and the Statewide Research Partner (SRP). LARPs provide strategic, analytic, and research support to individual Shannon CSI sites. The SRP provides similar support to OGR, the LARPs, and all funded Shannon CSI sites and partners without a LARP.
Funding for Shannon CSI sites, LARPs and SRP is awarded through competitive processes overseen by OGR's Justice and Prevention Division. OGR's Research and Policy Analysis Division (RPAD) supports Shannon CSI through data collection and analysis.
