Biography

Dr. Ed McGarrell’s primary research interest is in communities and crime and the development of evidence-based strategies for violence reduction. Much of this work involves research to understand local violent crime patterns, the translation of research to practice, and the evaluation of the impact of violence prevention and control strategies. McGarrell has had the good fortune to work collaboratively with a number of policing agencies including the Spokane Police Department, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, and with the Detroit, Flint, and Lansing Police Departments, as well as with the Michigan State Police.

McGarrell leads the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance’s Project Safe Neighborhoods and Smart Suite training and technical assistance programs that involve the translation of research to practice through researcher-practitioner partnerships. Similarly, he leads training and technical assistance for the National Institute of Health’s Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN).
