Policies and Procedures Manual

Developed by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute’s Behavioral Health Division, this manual was created to improve communication, standardize processes and provide foundational and guiding materials for Local Coordinating Councils. The manual is divided into four distinct sections: About, Responsibilities, Granting, and Appendices. It should be noted that all of the information included in this manual is critical to a Local Coordinating Council's ability to function. Additionally, it ensures a baseline level of knowledge that allows the Behavioral Health Division’s Program Managers to provide you with focused technical assistance.

Comprehensive Community Plan + Certification Letter

The Comprehensive Community Plan (CCP) is a systematic and community-driven gathering, analysis, and reporting of community-level indicators for the purpose of identifying and addressing local substance use problems. The CCP identifies problems that the LCC will address through SMART goals. Alongside the CCP, LCCs are required to submit a certification letter. The letter is an attestation that the CCP was completed as a coalition and that the LCC understands it is required to submit quarterly reports in order for the LCC to maintain active status.

The CCP, along with the Certification Letter, must be submitted via IntelliGrants by April 1.

Reporting Requirements & Meeting Minutes

In addition to the CCP, the LCC coordinator is responsible for electronically submitting Quarterly Reports and an End of Year Report to ICJI via IntelliGrants. Quarterly Reports are due on the 15th of July, October, and January, and the End of Year Report is due on May 1st every year. The coalition should maintain an archive of documents sent to the state as a matter of record. In addition, Meeting Minutes should be completed for each meeting and submitted along with the Quarterly Reports.

Below are the templates for the Quarterly Reports, End of the Year Report and Meeting Meetings.
