The National ERPO Resource Center (ERC)
We’ve launched ERPO.org, [[link removed]] a new hub for the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center (ERC). It serves as a vital resource for law enforcement, policymakers, medical professionals, and citizens—empowering every individual to play a role in preventing gun violence.
The Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), established the ERC in 2023.
The ERC is a training and technical assistance (TTA) resource designed to support states and localities with the implementation of their existing ERPO programs to reduce gun violence and save lives.
TTA through the ERC includes:
*
Development
and
dissemination
of
trainings
for
ERPO
stakeholders.
*
Support
for
states
and
local
jurisdictions
to
implement
ERPO
programs.
*
Facilitation
of
peer-to-peer
engagement
with
model
ERPO
learning
sites.
*
Leading
presentations
and
webinars
to
advance
states’
and
localities’
knowledge
on
key
ERPO
topics.
Request TTA [[link removed]]
Successful ERPO implementation requires the collaboration of a variety of stakeholders, including law enforcement, prosecutors, attorneys, judicial officers, clinicians, educators, veterans’ organizations, victim service providers, community organizations, and behavioral health and social service providers. Each of these partners plays an important role in the ERPO process, from the initiation of the order to the return of firearms (where appropriate). In collaboration with BJA, the ERC will support these ERPO implementers and partners nationwide.

Why We Give
Druid Hills Presbyterian Church has five advocacy statements and gun violence reduction and eradication is one of them. We researched several organizations and determined that the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions is the one that most aligned with our work and mission. Thank you for your good work. You will continue to be in our prayers as we continue the fight against the tragedy of gun violence.
