If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
A
C
So
Ida
Yarborough
home
saw
it
is
located
in
the
arbor
whole
neighborhood
of
in
our
city,
and
this
is
actually
phase
four
and
it
is
the
final
phase
of
our
redevelopment
strategy
phase.
One
we
created
a
41
town
homes
and
gardens
apartment
serving
at
ten
is
that
below
50%
of
the
area
median
income
face
and
by
the
way,
every
single
phase
we've
had
the
support
of
the
city.
So
thank
you
very
much
phase
two
we've
develop
76
apartments
and
phase
three.
We
are
looking
at
about
six
to
ten
home
ownership
units
and
that's
currently
underway.
C
C
We
are
looking
at
a
construction
budget
of
around
forty
three
million
dollars,
so
that's
a
huge
undertaking
to
update
224
apartments
and
we're
hoping
to
right-size
some
of
our
studio
apartments,
combining
them
into
one
bedroom
in
this
through
our
conversations
with
the
residents.
So
we're
trying
to
follow
the
more.
C
They
spoke
with
the
residents,
looked
at
neighborhood
plans
and
they
develop
the
scope
of
work
that
Ajay
has
since
approved,
and
then
we
use
our
general
contractor
home
leasing,
who
has
a
prominent
presence
on
Clinton
F
to
price
out
the
project
and
at
the
closing
of
the
project.
We
are
looking
at
our
debt
of
about
7.6
million.
C
We
are
deferring
4.6
million
of
our
own
fees
and
we
are
also
going
to
hold
a
note
in
the
amount
of
six
million
dollars
and
what
we're
hoping
to
do
with
these
196
units
is
to
serve
our
residents,
who
are
whose
households
make
less
than
50
percent
of
the
area.
Median
income
and
most
other
private
landlords
can't
serve
this
population
because
of
cash
flow
issues
and
Albany.
Housing
Authority
has
great
experience
serving
this
population
thanks
to
the
annual
subsidies
from
HUD
and
as
well
as
these
pilot
agreements
and
other
agreements
we
make
with
various
partners.
E
D
D
B
B
C
To
inform
you
that,
unfortunately,
through
the
competitive
funding
round,
we
did
not
receive
the
tax
credit
Awards
that
we
had
hoped
for
I
believe
within
our
region
there
were
12
applicants
and
there
were
2
out
of
the
city
of
Albany
and
neither
of
the
parties
were
selected
and
we
have
not
received
our
technical
assistance
session
with
each
CR.
So
I
can't
give
more
details
on
why.
C
Do
plan
to
reapply
absolutely
and
I
should
add
that,
with
this
item
phase
four,
we
are
seeking
4%
tax
credits
and
that's
as
a
matter
of
right,
so
it's
not
competitive
and
we
are
hoping
to
use
our
money
to
leverage
about.
I
am
so
sorry
leverage
about
26
million
dollars
on
private
investments,
I'm
26.
A
And
I
just
would
like
to
remind
everyone
it.
This
is
affordable,
housing
and
ovj
was
sure
he
probably
asked
about
the
jobs,
and
it's
it's
a
it's
a
housing
program.
If
we
can
get
folks
on
these
jobs.
Excellent,
but
primarily
the
benefit
to
this
community
into
the
city
of
Albany,
is
quality,
affordable,
housing.
C
B
D
E
A
G
B
H
C
H
C
I'm,
sorry
I,
it's
a
little
bizarre
because
the
260
and
270
we
have
an
agreement
with
the
city
of
where
we
don't
pay
taxes.
But
what
happens
is
any
time
we
use
tax
credits
to
lift
it
out
of
the
public
housing
or
stand
by
with
portfolio?
Then
we
become
taxable
and
because
we
can't
cash
flow,
the
the
projects
under
by
paying
real
estate
taxes.
B
C
Is
a
formula
traditionally
we
pay
about
10
percent
of
the
tenant
pay
portion
of
the
rents
and,
however,
when
we
do
have
hearta
in
this
case,
seven
point:
six
million
with
the
six
million
dollar
note
we
you
know.
Usually
we
subordinate
the
pilot
payments
to
the
debt,
but
with
the
debt.
The
city
will
never
get
anything
and
we're
just
trying
to
do
our
part
in
paying
1%
of
the
ten
F
P
portion
of
the
rents
so
that
we
are
giving
the
city
some
money
for
the
public
services
that
we
and.
C
H
D
B
C
Was
it
was
we
didn't
pay
anything
because
of
the
federal
house
up
because
of
the
federal
corporation
agreement
and
I
will
say
that
I
am
a
homeowner
within
the
city
of
Albany
and
night?
My
taxes
are
a
little
less
than
half
than
that
and
we've.
These
are
discussions
that
not
only
have
we
had
internally
but
discussions
that
I've
had
with
the
city
of
the
Corp
Council
staff
and
the
way
that
I
guess
we
look
at
it
and
again.
C
Thank
you
for
the
reminder
that
we're
here
for
affordable
housing
is
we're
following
the
spirit
of
the
cooperation
agreement,
which
is
we
have
these
federal
housing
stock.
Where
we
don't,
we
aren't
required
to
pay
the
real
estate
tax,
but
we
are
voluntarily
trying
to
go
above
and
beyond
what
Congress
is
providing
to
us,
and
you
know
the
logic
is
I'm,
hoping
that
we
won't
be
disincentive
eyes
to
improve
these
conditions
for
our
residents.
C
F
H
H
C
C
H
H
E
C
C
B
C
Be
honest
with
you:
if
we
did
not
engage
this
renovation
project,
we
would
end
up
not
paying
anything
to
the
city.
I
have
not
our
partners
have
not
given
me
projections
for
what
that
percentage
would
be
if
we
went
ahead,
but
I
would
guess
I
would
vast
99%
that
we
probably
had
to
scale
down
this
project
a
lot
if
we
can
continue
at
all
and
I'm
not
saying
that
as
a
threat,
but
it
honestly
is
just
the
underwriting
process.
C
And
and
another
thing
I
will
say:
if
I
were
to
add
an
improvement
to
my
own
home
I
can
spend
whatever
I
want
to
maybe
cut
corners
somewhere,
but
with
our
multiple
layers
of
oversight.
It
isn't
just
you
know
the
davis-bacon
wages,
where
the
steep
wages
is
also
we
have
to
fulfil
reserves
under.
You
know
various
HUD
programs,
so
it
is
a
lot
of
cash
that
we
have
to
put.
F
B
A
A
E
E
K
C
Absolutely
and
I'm,
assuming
the
green
roofs,
so
we're
very
proud
of
the
green
roofs
that
was
the
last
ad
in
face.
Wanna
fight
up
your
girl,
and
that
was
thanks
to
a
grant
million
dollar
grant.
You
want
to
say
from
NYSERDA
and
a
green
roof
soon
more
than
just
present
aesthetics
for
the
neighborhood
there's
by
over
intentioned
properties,
and
so
it
helps
with
this
the
stormwater
treatment
and
also
it
helps
our
tennis
and
levees
their
utilities
bill,
because
there's
that
installation
factor-
and
we
did
outfit
the
roofs
to
be
solar
panel
compatible.
C
H
C
Not
sure
about
that,
but
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
with
an
answer.
I
will
say
during
the
closing
of
item
face
to
what
we
realized
was,
and
this
is
the
other
thing
we
don't
just
go
out
and
say
we're
gonna
build.
This
is
multi-year
planning
process
and
in
between
us
trying
to
close
the
projects.
Actually
closing
I.
C
Believe,
though
Cove
relating
to
stormwater
treatment
have
changed
and
I
know
that
our
engineers
that
cheese
and
worked
very
closely
with
the
city
of
the
Planning
Board
to
address
those
issues
we
try
to
go
above
and
beyond,
but
I
don't
want
to
commit
to
an
answer,
and
I
will
say
that
just
today,
I
receive
a
an
approval
letter
from
Brad
glass
to
in
support
of
this
project
and
I.
Think
that
was
related
to
just
is
only
so.
We
are
constantly
in
talks
with
the
department.
C
You
raise
that
question
because
relocation
is
truly
our
expertise.
One
I
think
there's
multiple
strategies
that
we
employed
anytime.
We
relocate
someone
so
ahead
of
the
renovation
time.
We
might
stop
leasing
up
as
certainly
units.
According
to
our
tenants,
though,
first
of
all,
each
lieutenant
is
a
sign
of
specialized
caseworker
to
uncover
their
needs.
If
you
are,
if
you
nee,
handicap-accessible
units
will
make
sure
to
place
your
ground
unit,
so
we
have
a
special
team
that
works
with
each
tenant.
We
try
to
spot
leasing
up
vacant
units
so
that
we
can
relocate
some
people.
C
We
have
the
ability
to
issue
section.
8
vouchers
and
part
of
my
job
is
to
approach
HUD
for
permission
to
lift
this
project
site
out
of
public
housing
and
there's
the
uniform
relocation
act
that
protects
our
tenants.
We
pay
them
to
move
with
the
voucher.
They
can
move
I
believe
anywhere
in
the
continental
US
and.
L
D
C
D
D
You
know
we
have
various
programs
that
they
may
fall
under
within
their
I
would
say
income
guidelines,
so
they
may
not
be
eligible
for
section
8,
but
they
may
be
eligible
to
move
into
some
other
units
that
we
own,
but
we
we
I
can
tell
you
that
we
have
done
this
since
North
Albany
we've
had
to
relocate
hundreds
of
families
and
continue
to
do
it
over
the
years,
and
that
is
something
that
we
pride
ourselves
on
being
able
to
help
these
families
relocate.
We
pay
for
the
costs
and
they
also
have
first
dibs.
C
E
D
Don't
have
a
question
off
the
top
of
my
head
and
I
would
if
I
gave
you
a
number,
it
might
be
at
a
different
development.
We
have
several
studios
at
different
locations,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
when
there
are
experience
with
studios,
is
most
people
they'll
accept
studios
out
of
I
will
say
urgency,
but
then,
after
a
couple
of
months,
they
want
one
bedrooms
that
has
been
more
they're
a
little
harder
to
fill
for
us.
In
terms
of
you
know,
most
people
want
a
privacy
of
having
a
one.
D
You
know
their
own
bedroom
having
a
door,
and
that
has
been
more
of
the
I
would
say
the
voice
of
our
tenants
and
what
they
would
prefer.
I,
don't
know
in
terms
of
the
developments
that
you're
referring
to
developers
that
you're
referring
to
I,
do
know
out
in
the
private
market
that
a
lot
of
students
are
looking
for
studios
and
you
know
for
that
type
of
lifestyle
or
living
arrangement.
But
the
families
that
we
have
right
now
are
really
seeking
to
move
into
one
bedrooms
and
out
of
the
studios
that
we
currently
have
and.
M
D
F
C
He'll,
to
be
completely
honest
with
you,
its
funding
availability,
we
would
love
to
you
know.
Our
strategy
has
been
to
the
densify,
which
is
why
Ida
your
role
is
the
way
it
does
today
with
the
low-rises,
and
the
part
is
isle
apartments.
If
we
could
redo
everything
we
would,
but
repurposed
thing
is,
are
demolishing.
E
L
F
H
H
A
H
A
I
will
say
it
is
well
what
I
say
to
that.
The
last
time
the
housing
authority
was
before
us.
It's
not
that
doesn't
have
to
be
passed.
Now,
it's
not
an
absolute,
it's
not
mandatory.
They
would
like
it
actually
bus
passing.
This
will
put
them
ahead
in
the
game,
but
if
we
don't-
and
we
have
further
discussion-
we're
not
gonna
slow
me
down-
I'm,
not
gonna,
slow
him
down.
C
L
M
N
D
B
D
C
H
C
H
C
I
D
D
A
A
A
A
O
I
just
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
I
am
presenting
just
a
portion
of
what
our
strategies
are
as
they
relate
to
responding
to
gun
violence
within
the
city.
These
are
just
funded
strategies
from
DCJS
that
give
grant
that
they
provide
to
us
annually.
It's
all
work
our
way
through
that
that
grant
has
provided
to
us
the
Albany,
County
District,
Attorney's
Office
and
the
Albany
County
Probation
Department,
and
it's
been
that
way.
Since
the
beginning,
we
develop
our
strategies
together
and
we
all
carry
out
those
strategies
together.
O
So
what
is
give
gives
the
gun
involved?
Violence,
elimination
round
it's
an
annual
grant
from
DC
J
house
after
they
conducted
an
in-depth
analysis
of
crime
data
in
New
York
State.
In
2013.
They
found
that
while
most
crime
had
significantly
decreased
since
2004,
the
only
thing
that
went
up
was
shooting
homicides
and
they
were
up
by
6
percent
across
the
state
and
they
were
recognizing
the
significant
economic,
social
and
personal
consequences
of
shooting
deaths,
and
it
became
their
priority
to
reduce
those
shootings
and
aggravated
assaults
in
jurisdictions.
O
They
should
get
statewide,
so
they
first
started
awarding
these
grants
in
July
of
2014
and
will
be
in
our
sixth
round
of
funding,
starting
July
1st
they're
awarded
to
17
counties
in
New,
York,
State,
outside
of
New
York
City,
and
each
jurisdiction
throughout
the
state
partners,
with
the
District,
Attorney's,
Office
and
probation
for
their
awards.
Others.
O
So
the
first
thing
that
you'll
see
are
our
shots,
fired
numbers
from
2014
through
2018
our
shots,
fire
incidents
and
shooting
incidents
or
times
when
a
gun
is
fired
and
an
injury
or
death
occurs.
The
numbers
tend
to
be
consistent
from
year
to
year.
We
did
have
our
highest
in
the
last
five
years
and
2018
and
our
lowest
of
those
numbers
into
those
extra
scary.
O
Unfounded
shots
fired
or
incidents
in
which
it
can
be
conclusively
I'm,
sorry,
yeah,
unfounded
shots
fired
incidents
which
it
can
be
conclusively
determined
that
no
shots
were
fired,
so
we
can
determine
instead
that
there
were
fireworks,
that
a
car
backfired
or
that
nothing
had
happened
at
all,
uncomfirmed
shots
fired
or
incidents
for
which
we
cannot
conclusively
determine
that
shots
were
or
were
not
fired.
The
next
graph
that
you'll
see
is
the
trends
that
we
have
in
the
past
six
years,
for
both
our
shooting
victims
and
our
compare
the
shots
fired.
O
So
the
charts
on
the
left
side
of
that
page
is
the
trend
line
with
the
number
of
persons
shot
from
year
to
year
in
the
solid
line
and
the
trajectory
in
the
dotted
line.
So
you
can
see
that
we
are
going
up,
but
the
2016
was
our
lowest
year-to-date
in
quite
some
time
over
the
last
six
years
from
January
to
December.
You
can
also
see
that,
in
terms
of
confirmed
shots
fired,
that
line
seems
to
be
going
up.
We
had
our
lowest
year
in
2016
when
we
look
at
at
one
five-month.
O
What
we
do
know
is
that
July
tends
to
be
our
worst
month
for
both
people
injured
by
gunfire
and
also
confirmed
shots
fired
the
overall
trajectory
being
that
in
the
spring
the
shot
sirens
tend
to
increase
their
guns
start
to
decrease
as
the
fall
hits
it's
much
lower
during
the
winter
and
the
cycle
starts
all
over
again.
I
know
in
the
charts
that
you
see
the
lines
on
that
right
side
are
really
hard
to
see.
The
very
thick
solid
line
is
2019.
O
O
We
didn't
want
to
compare
your
year
because
we're
only
a
couple
months
into
we're
halfway
into
2019
at
this
point,
but
as
of
today
when
compared
to
this
time
last
year
we
are
down
18
percent
in
terms
of
contract,
confirmed
shots,
fired
and
we're
down
almost
50
percent
in
terms
of
shooting
incident
and
shooting
victims.
So
last
year
would
be.
Yes,
almost
50,
so
last
year
there
were
17
incidents
with
17
people
hit
by
a
bullet.
This
way
there
are
nine.
O
When
we
talk
about
give
strategies,
each
jurisdiction
has
to
analyze
their
gun,
violence
data,
including
geographic
location,
the
time
of
the
shooting,
so
that's
our
day
and
models
and
motivating
factors.
So
with
this
a
personal
or
group
dispute,
a
robbery,
a
domestic
incident
or
something
else,
this
helps
us
determine
the
nature
of
our
violence
that
we're
experiencing,
so
that
appropriate
strategies
can
be
selected
to
combat
that
violence.
O
That
being
said,
DCJS
also
requires
that
we
use
one
of
the
following
evidence-based
strategies
or
more
than
one
about
policing
and
focused
deterrence,
crime
prevention
through
Environmental,
Design
and
street
outreach.
We
use
three,
we
do
have
stop
policing,
so
miss
deterrence
is
read
out,
so
the
first
that
I'll
talk
to
you
about
is
hot
spot
policing.
This
is
focusing
on
a
small
geographic
area
where
crime
is
is
concentrated.
O
There
are
settings
with
significant
clusters
of
crime
that
generate
a
large
portion
of
the
total
crime
reported
in
the
broader
community
that
can
be
an
address
that
can
be
a
couple
of
blocks
that
can
be
a
full
Street,
but
in
the
geographic
area
we
identify
that
crime.
Both
your
community
calls
for
service,
as
well
as
patrol
calls
for
service.
O
Yes,
I
know
where
yeah
so
the
map
here
is
just
2019.
Those
are
actually
layered
and
just
so
I
can
pull
this
apart
to
print
them
out.
But
what
we
do
know
is
that
our
hot
spots
are
pretty
consistent
for
what
you
see
in
2019
the
area
right
around
Johnson.
So
this
large
red
area
here
tends
to
be
firsta
quail,
first
and
Lex,
and
second
and
Johnson
all
pushed
together-
and
that's
pretty
consistent
here
to
here
this
smaller
red
area.
Right
now.
M
O
One
of
the
things
we
also
look
at
when
we
talk
about
hot
spots
is
conflict
analysis.
So
much
of
the
gun,
violence
that
we
have
is
rooted
in
disputes
and
conflicts,
and
so
in
order
to
try
to
anticipate
where
that
gun
violence
is
going
to
occur,
so
the
resources
can
be
applied
to
those
areas.
In
anticipation
of
that
violence
happening
to
quell
it,
we
look
at
calls
for
service
for
narcotics
activity,
persons
with
a
weapon
group,
annoying
fights
and
gambling
and
dice
games.
B
O
Jurisdiction
is
different
for
us,
the
Capital,
Region
crime
analysis.
Center,
is
our
crime
analyst
shop?
If
you
feel
like,
if
you
let's
call
it
that
it
used
to
be
the
Albany
County
crime
analysis
Center,
and
then
we
started
taking
on
some
other
jurisdictions
outside
of
Albany
County.
But
when
we
talk
about
the
give
grants,
most
of
the
other
jurisdictions
of
the
17
counties
and
I'm
outside
of
New
York
City
are
engaging
in
many
of
the
same
things.
He
suggests.
There's.
I
O
So
once
we
identify
a
hot
spot
and
why
that
area
is
a
hot
spot,
based
on
the
information
that
we
received
from
the
Capital
Region
crime,
Analysis
Center,
we
try
to
determine
what
resources
are
available
in
that
area
already,
so
that
the
community
can
do
community
to
address
some
of
its
problems.
We
engage
will
engage
both
business
owners
and
residents
alike.
Depending
on
what
the
problem
is.
O
Also
under
the
hot
spot,
policing
strategy,
we
use
the
violent
offender
identification
directive
in
2012
the
OE
Police
Department.
In
conjunction
with,
then
it
was
called
the
Albany
County
crime.
Analysis
Center
created
a
data-driven
risk
assessment
tool
that
identifies
individuals
who
are
most
imminent
in
the
most
imminent
danger
of
shooting
somewhere.
Beyond
fact,
research
was
conducted
on
the
prior
four
years
of
shootings,
looking
at
both
suspects
and
victims,
and
what
we
found
in
their
personal
histories
was
that
there
were
many
commonalities
for
both
victims
and
suspects
they'd
previous
weapons
charges.
O
They
were
present
on
the
scenes
of
other
shootings.
They
had
previous
assaults.
There
was
some
documented
gang
activity
and
there
were
multiple,
disorderly
conduct.
Erasmus
analysts
then
identified
over
a
hundred
different
data
points.
A
plate
away
did
not
collide
awaited
scale
and
then
subsequently
quantified
their
risk.
So
if
you
were
someone
who
had
been
shot
before
that
score
would
mean
a
lot
more
disorderly
conduct,
the
rest
but
being
at
the
scene
of
a
shooting
might
be
weighted
somewhere
in
between
those
the
tool
that
aggravates
those
weighted
scores
and
it
produces
the
risk-based
hierarchy.
O
So
if
we
know
there's
an
ongoing
conflict
and
were
able
to
get
resources
in
to
talk
to
the
those
individuals
and
try
and
stop
that
we
have
our
enhanced
supervision
unit
officers
make
outreach
to
the
identified
individuals
and
work
to
understand
the
most
effective
way
to
redirect
those
in
crisis
individuals
and
that
can
be
achieved
through
employment,
mental
health
services,
substance,
abuse,
services,
educational
opportunities,
rehousing
getting
them
assistance
resumes
it
kind
of
is
completely
up
to
that
individual
and
the
family.
When
an
arrest
must
be
made.
O
O
So
the
second
strategy
that
I'll
talk
about
is
focused
deterrence
when
we
do
start
looking
at
what
we
can
in
terms
of
our
shooting
victims
and
our
shooting
suspects,
we
do
see
a
very
stark
picture
of
what
they
look
like.
The
majority
of
our
shooting
victims
are
black
males.
When
we
look
at
the
age,
most
of
them
are
over
the
age
of
31,
but
we
do
see
another
spike
in
the
21
to
25
age
group
I'm.
O
O
When
we
look
at
our
gun,
homicides
and
I
want
to
make
this
very
clear.
This
is
not
all
of
our
homicides
if
you're,
just
the
ones
that
involve
a
firearm,
we
have
a
67
percent
clearance
rate
for
being
able
to
solve
those
and
make
an
arrest,
and
so
that
means
that
we're
really
able
to
talk
about
what
those
perpetrators
look
like
in
terms
of
your
typical
kind
of
gun,
violence
suspect
they're,
mostly
black
males.
O
During
this
time
period,
which
is
2014
to
2018,
there
were
two
black
females
that
were
arrested
for
Gama
sides
and
those
arrested
don't
tend
to
fall
into
any
particular
age.
Demographic
you
can
see
here
that
they're,
pretty
spread
out
between
all
of
the
different
age
ranges
it's
pretty,
even
as
opposed
to
who
the
victims
are.
O
O
31
to
35
this
is
closer
to
20
when
we
start
pushing
up
35
to
40.
The
numbers
are
dropping
as
soon
as
we
hit
50
we're
talking.
One
super
bivariate
row
so
that
21
to
30
and
then
probably
31
to
45
for
here
would
be
another
significant
sack.
But
every
part
of
the
discussion
is
always.
You
know
that
it's
the
teens
and
for
us
it's
very
much,
not
the
teens.
L
L
O
While
we
have
a
67%
clearance
rate
for
homicides
are
closed
by
arrest
clearance
rate
for
non-fatal
shootings
is
22%.
So
having
good
information
about
who
those
individuals
are
it's
just
not
reliable
and
part
of
the
issue
that
we
have
is
that
we
have
many
uncooperative
victims,
so
you
can
see
on
the
next
page.
We
have
about
40
percent
that
we
had
to
close
because
the
victim,
isn't
you
see
what
happens
it
couldn't
describe
who
shot
them?
O
Work
has
actually
flatly
said:
I'm,
not
Walker
rating
and
that's
one
of
the
strategies
that
I'll
get
into
a
little
bit
later.
It's
a
new
strategy
for
us
this
year,
where
we
know
that
there
are
some
tools
and
things
that
we
can
use
from
other
jurisdictions
for
how
to
increase
cooperation,
how
to
treat
those
cases
a
little
bit
differently
so
that
we
can
more
successfully
arrest
those
that
are
committing
those
time
tables.
O
So
under
focused
deterrence,
the
other
intervention
that
we're
using
is
the
group
violence
intervention.
This
goes
back
to
the
distinction
between
gangs
and
groups.
It's
an
evidence-based
strategy
from
the
national
network
for
Safe
Communities
at
John,
Jay
College.
It
allows
for
police
and
prosecutors
to
increase
the
certainty,
swiftness
and
severity
of
punishment
by
directly
engaging
with
known
offenders,
who
are
often
members,
so
the
small
groups
of
individuals
associate
together
often
tend
to
commit
crime.
O
Together,
we
communicate
clear
incentives
for
compliance
and
consequences
for
criminal
activity,
and
this
also
allows
us
to
provide
a
fantastic
framework
for
supporting
outreach
services
so
that
those
individuals
can
be
communicated
with
about
the
other
options
that
they
have
the
variety
of
services
that
the
city
provides
in
terms
of
support,
outreach
getting
them
into
a
different
life.
This
is
a
partnership
between
the
city,
the
Albany
Police
Department,
the
District
Attorney's
Office,
Albany,
County
Probation
of
the
US
Attorney's
Office,
the
key
components
of
the
group.
O
Violence
intervention
are
two
communication
tools
that
are
face-to-face
meetings
between
group
members
and
representatives
from
that
partnership.
There's
both
custom
notifications,
and
so
those
are
one-on-one
meetings
with
an
individual
who
may
be
known
to
be
having
a
conflict.
There
may
be
retaliation
that
we
know
is
about
to
happen.
O
So
in
both
of
these,
it's
a
law
enforcement
message
that
any
future
gun
violence
will
be
met
with
clear,
predictable
and
certain
consequences,
and
a
group
members
act
of
gun
violence
triggers
an
enforcement
action
against
the
individual,
as
well
as
their
associates
for
outstanding
warrants,
probation
and
parole
violations
from
open
cases
and
any
other
current
criminal
activity.
There's
also
a
moral
message
from
community
representatives.
The
finals
will
not
be
tolerated
and
an
offer
of
help
from
social
services
for
those
that
want
it.
O
M
O
We've
actually
seen
our
when
we
look
at
some
of
the
motivating
factors
between
around
our
shootings
and
homicides.
We
do
see
that
when
we're
doing
this
well,
our
group
members
who
are
involved
in
that
violence
decreases,
so
the
motivating
factors
are
different.
It's
you
know
those
those
group
disputes
that
typical
uptown
downtown
stops
happening.
Individuals
are
more
likely
to
take
an
offer
of
support.
O
So
support
and
outreach
services
is
really
a
key
with
this
strategy.
It's
providing
help
to
group
members
and
that's
a
really
critical
aspect
of
this
process.
We
have
higher
one
point
person
with
one
phone
number
to
allow
individuals
to
have
easier
access
to
help
in
navigating
through
the
multiple
systems
that
it
really
takes
to
get
through.
The
things
that
you
need
to
referrals
come
from
a
variety
of
sources.
It's
mainly
departments
enhance
supervision
unit
and
all
many
counter
formations
give
probation
officer.
O
We
found
that
now
that
we
have
turned
the
neon
ions
on
board
or
individuals.
We
dedicated
to
this
for
quite
some
time
that
individuals
are
referring
their
friends,
their
family
members,
other
group
members
for
support
and
help
they're
getting
the
word
out
like
hey
this
guy
can
help
you
get
a
job
hey.
This
guy
can
help
you
get
into
house
hitting
this
guy
can
give
you
advice
and
so
they're
more
likely
to
refer
their
friends.
O
Not
a
social
worker
by
trade,
he
is
somebody
who
has
experience
going
through.
The
criminal
justice
system
did
federal
time.
I
was
a
gang
member
down
in
the
city,
has
lived
the
life
and
then
moved
into
the
social
services
field.
So
has
some
extensive
expertise
in
working
with
individuals
who
are
high-risk,
we
tend
to
be
resistant.
We
need
a
lot
of
hand-holding
who
might
be
younger,
I'm,
not
really
sure
and
what
they
want
and
we
not
have
finished
high
school
and
they
have
substance
abuse
histories.
They
have
a
really
complicated
family
dynamic.
B
O
It's
three
officers
they're
non
uniform.
They
make
outreach
to
individuals
throughout
the
city,
so
the
violent
offender
identification
directive.
When
those
individuals
are
identified,
they
make
outreach
to
them
to
try
and
find
out
what's
going
on
and
what
they
can
do
to
help
they're
involved
in
a
number
of
our
community
events.
Two
of
them
are
heavily
involved
in
our
refugee
outreach
programs.
O
Right
now,
one
was
the
school
resource
officer,
one
who
grew
up
in
and
it's
a
minister,
so
they're
all
kind
of
unknown
to
the
community,
but
really
what
they
do
is
make
outreach
cities
individual.
Also,
the
phone
calls
that
they
get
back
from
some
of
the
guys
that
we
never
thought
would
have
talked
to
law
enforcement.
It's
pretty
okay,.
F
O
Other
thing
that
we
do
under
the
strategies
are
offender
notification
forums
since
July
of
2012
the
police
department,
in
collaboration
with
the
District
Attorney's
Office,
the
US
Attorney's
Office,
the
Department
of
Corrections.
If
you
lose
provisions
role,
major
task
force
and
Trinity
have
represented
the
project.
O
Again.
That's
a
group
of
individuals
that
I've
been
running
those
for
a
couple
years
and
that
they
want
to
take
home
guidelines
so
that
they
can
read
them
and
understand
them
and
share
them
with
people
is
incredible,
but
they
hear
not
only
from
a
law
enforcement
really
the
people
they
want
to
hear
from
the
most
our
Trinity
Alliance
and
snug
our
individuals
who
have
gone
through
that
criminal
justice
system
and
have
turned
their
lives
around
so
that
they
have
that
support
and
that
mentor
to
be
able
to
do
that.
O
O
In
that
panel,
shooting
project
is
why
I
brought
up
those
statistics
a
little
earlier.
These
cases
are
much
harder
for
us
to
solve
and
we
know
that
the
community
perception
is
that
offenders
aren't
being
held
accountable
for
those
non-fatal
shootings
that
are
occurring
so
by
taking
a
different
approach,
treating
those
non
fatal
shootings
similar
to
AMA
science,
where
you
don't
have
the
benefit
of
having
a
victim
to
get
information
from
jurisdictions
like
Newberg
and
Utica
right
here
in
New,
York
I've
been
able
to
make
an
increase
in
the
number
of
arrests
they
make.
L
I
It's
something
greater,
so
sometimes
a
strategy
might
not
work
that,
if
that
is,
the
difficult
part
is
when
we
have
effect
on
who
we
know
those
who
the
offender
is
and
they're
not
cooperative
with
us,
but
there's
some
strategies
that
these
sections
have
used
to
kind
of
combat
that
let's
try
to
go
around
it
and
essentially
treat
the
person
again
as
if
they
were
a
homicide,
so
that
we
can
just
keep
pushing
for
a
lot
of
times.
In
these
cases,
even
though
we
have
to
close
them,
Crysta
victims
not
cooperate.
I
G
I
F
I
O
Topic
anyway,
because
nub
is
our
street
outreach
strategy
and
we
are
very
lucky
to
having
well
established
snug
here
in
the
city.
Already
they
treat
gun
violence
like
a
disease,
identify
its
causes
and
interrupt
the
transmission
I'm,
laying
great
with
those
high-risk
individuals
who
are
engaging
in
gun
violence,
and
they
address
the
issues
that
prompt
those
individuals
to
use
a
gun.
They
try
to
change
the
community
norms
and
attitudes
that
just
accepts
the
violence
is
a
part
of
life.
O
They
respond
to
the
shootings,
to
prevent
retaliation
and
to
help
the
family
deal
with
kind
of
what's
going
on
as
a
result
of
that,
they
help
detect
conflicts
and
they
work
to
resolve
those
peacefully
before
they
lead
to
additional
violence.
We
meet
with
them
in
a
monthly
so
that
we
discuss
the
trends.
We
provide
any
information
on
where
the
shootings
are
occurring.
What
the
hotspots
are,
you
know
what
we
kind
of
know.
We
also
provide
them
referrals
for
those
high-risk
individuals
who
are
coming
out
of
prison.
We
know
their
gang
involved.
O
We
know
that
there
may
have
been
a
back-and-forth
before
they
went
into
prison
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
doesn't
heat
back
up
now
that
they're
back
on
the
street.
We
also
let
them
know
if
there's
anybody
who
had
a
criminal
gun
related
criminal
history
so
that
they
can
engage
with
those
individuals
as
soon
as
they're
home
to
make
sure
that
they're
on
the
right
track
to
getting
involved
in
the
community.
B
B
I
B
O
That's
quite
all
right.
We're
kind
of
right
at
the
perfect
time.
For
those
again
I
want
to
make
it
really
clear
that
the
strategies
that
I
discussed
today
is
not
our
only
strategies
that
we're
using
in
regards
to
gun
violence.
These
are
just
the
ones
that
are
really
related
to
the
give
grant
that
we
receive
from
DCJS,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
council
knew
kind
of
what
was
going
on,
particularly
as.
K
The
other
thing
to
mention
is
that
DCJS,
largely
because
of
Trinity's
of
advocacy
and
bringing
to
the
attention
of
the
Pellissippi
the
powers
of
the
good
urban
grief
and
healing
there
in
every
state
across
the
state,
a
full
line,
clinically
trained
master
that
were
travelling,
the
floor.
Clinician
as
well
as
a
case
navigator,
and
that
rule
that
was
to
really
dig
into
the
part
of
the
population.
That
is.
A

I

We
have
one
half,
it
was
hot
spot
and
it
was
got
to
be
bed
and
the
two
little
girls
I
saved
by
the
nine
and
ten
chased
his
little
boy
home
from
school,
and
it
was
Jason
and
the
little
boy
ball
stairs
and
he
come
back
downstairs
and
a
pistol
and
the
little
girls,
Linden,
Street
and
and
and
then
the
grandfather
comes
over
to
me.
But
any
time
the
grandfather
staying
here
and
taking
it
away.
But
did
anybody
making
it
was
outside
and
all
eyes
was
on
me.

A
O
Because
there's
so
much
investigative
effort
as
well,
our
detectives
office
has
a
lot,
definitely
very
large
part
of
it,
particularly
when
we
talk
about
the
hot
addresses
and
the
hot
spots,
because
they
know
what
those
resources
are.
They
have
the
relationships
with
the
business
owners.
They
have
their
relationships
with
the
residents
as
well.
