The study was conducted by the Institute for Law and Justice in partnership with Eastern Kentucky University. It was sponsored by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) with funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). The project's overall goal was to help the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice, achieve more consistency and control over the hundreds of training programs for which it provides funding, and at the same time, increase the capacity of other criminal justice programs-federal, state, and local-to conduct their own training evaluations. Project Summary This study had two major objectives: (1) develop a flexible model for evaluating criminal justice training programs, and (2) test the model by applying it in the field to four training programs. The four programs that were evaluated to test the model had received BJA discretionary grant funding for training (commonly known as "earmarks"). They were selected in part because they permitted a test of the model in diverse environments: the programs were different in terms of learning objectives, intended audiences, instructional methods, subject matter, and other factors. The four participating training programs were - Foundations of Intelligence Analysis Training (FIAT) offered by the National White Collar Crime Center. This was a basic analytical intelligence training curriculum for law enforcement and regulatory personnel. -_Tools for Tolerance Institutes offered by the Simon Wiesenthal Center. The purpose of this training was to give participants new perspectives on hate crime and terrorist acts, help them form multi-agency collaborations, and foster the development of strategic action plans. - Advanced Leadership for Law Enforcement and Corrections Professionals offered by the National Corrections and Law Enforcement Training and Technology Center. This course was focused on teaching values-based leadership skills to agency leaders who are responsible for first responders and correctional and security officers. - Civil Mediation training offered by the National Judicial College. This course familiarized participants with the civil mediation process and qualified them for certification in states that require it. The research study teams began with a widely accepted training evaluation model (Kirkpatrick 1998) that was originally developed for the private business sector. The Kirkpatrick model was then refined to address training evaluation needs in criminal justice. The lessons learned by applying the model in the field were of great benefit in shaping the final model, helping to ensure that it would be applicable to all criminal justice training programs. The final model retains Kirkpatrick's evaluation framework but places greater emphasis on conducting a training needs assessment and on planning for a training evaluation when the training is geared for criminal justice audiences; and it makes changes to the Level 4 application.
