Planning for Implementation

The implementation manual Planning for Implementation provides a guide to development of a plan to implement the OJJDP Comprehensive Gang Model (Model). It relies heavily on the experiences, lessons learned, and best practices in more than 20 communities that have implemented the Model. The manual provides guidance for creating an implementation plan, outlines the administrative structure necessary to implement the Model, and describes recommended activities for each of the five core strategies of the Model.
