states
department
of
justice
and
to
be
administered
by
our
police
department.
The
next
docket
is
docket
zero.
B
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here,
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
first
docket,
which
will
be
docket
0119,
and
this
is
the
2019
port
security
grant
program
and
if
we
could
have
the
person
from
the
administration
who
is
testifying
for
this
grant.
If
you
could
say
your
name
for
the
record
and
the
department
you
are
representing,
and
then
we
can
have
you
give
an
overview
of
the
grant
and
then
do
questions
and
we'll
take
them
individually,
each
grant
or
each
docket.
I
should
say
so.
C
B
C
Sure
the
the
prior
port
security
grant
that
we
actually
received
a
few
years
ago
was
to
rebuild
the
dock
that
actually
the
dam
rail
sits
on
that's
over
at
battery
march
and
where
the
marine
unit
is
housed-
and
we
were
very
excited
about
getting
that
too,
because
we
were
able
to
build
a
state-of-the-art
dock
for
that
boat.
The
boat
is
70
feet,
so
you
can
imagine
that
was
a
fairly
large
dock,
but
we
were
rewarded
a
port
security
grant.
For
that.
B
D
This
is
an
important
grant
that
will
benefit
the
residents
through
the
fire
department
in
their
work
on
poor
court
issues.
I
I
had
an
opportunity
in
my
professional
life
to
be
exposed
to
working
in
the
port
industry
for
25
years
in
the
u.s
navy,
but
I
understand
the
critical
role
that
this
grant
will
play
in
helping
the
men
and
women
of
the
fire
department
in
benefiting
the
residents
of
boston.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
fire
department
for
your
work
on
this
commission
and
judge.
C
B
C
B
B
B
And
so
the
second
is
docket
zero,
one,
nine
one,
which
is
a
messaging
order
in
the
amount
of
thirteen
million
five
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
also
be
administered
by
our
office
of
emergency
management.
And
if
you
could
state
your
name
for
the
record
in
the
department
you
represent,
that
would
be
great
and
then
provide
overviews
of
how
the
monies
will
be
used.
That
would
be
wonderful
and
the
history
of
just
how
long
we've
gotten
them
et
cetera.
A
Sure,
good
morning
ma'am.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
present
this
morning.
Thank
you
to
councillor
flynn
and
others
joining
us
on
the
call.
I
am
joined
by
nancy
anderson,
the
deputy
chief
in
emergency
management,
and
my
name
is
shumain
benford
and
I
am
the
chief
of
emergency
management
and
just
to
provide
just
a
little
bit
of
context.
A
I'll
start
with
I'll
start
with
the
emergency
management
performance
grant,
which
is
the
one
for
approximately
71
000.
As
you
read
ma'am,
this
is
one
that
is
provided
across
the
commonwealth
to
jurisdictions
as
a
pass-through
from
the
state.
This
money
provides
a
number
of
areas
of
flexibility
for
the
emergency
management
discipline
to
be
able
to
respond
and
provide
services
on
behalf
of
its
core
constituents
this
year.
This
has
been
a
historical
and
perpetually
funded
grant.
A
This
year
we
are
receiving
approximately
71
000,
which
is
within
the
statistical
number
that
we've
received
historically
over
the
years
anywhere
from
69
to
71.72
000..
We
have
primarily
used
this
grant
in
a
couple
of
key
areas,
and
this
year
we
propose
to
use
it
in
two
key
here:
two
key
areas,
one
for
vehicles
and
two
for
gear.
A
So,
to
use
an
example,
a
major
fire
across
the
city
emergency
management
may
be
called
in
to
provide
support
by
way
of
shelters
and
or
other
services
to
aid
in
that
response,
and
we
made
a
concerted
effort
over
the
course
of
the
last
several
years
to
ensure
that
our
staff
had
the
proper
gear,
the
proper
insignia
and
the
proper
identification
markers,
so
that
individuals
in
the
communities
could
recognize
them
and
serve
it.
As
and
in
an
official
capacity.
A
A
It
also
provides
an
enormous
amount
of
support
for
the
city
of
boston
in
the
office
of
emergency
management,
based
on
our
funding
structure,
our
primarily
fund
her
in
supporting
our
positions
and
the
work
that
we
do
not
just
on
behalf
of
the
region,
but
also
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
boston,
comes
by
way
of
this
grant
and
just
very
quickly
just
to
give
some
broad
contextual
overview
of
a
couple
areas.
This
this
grant
is
awarded
to
the
region.
A
Our
region
is
made
up
of
nine
cities
and
towns
to
include
the
city
of
boston,
brookline,
cambridge
chelsea,
everett,
quincy,
rivera
somerville
and
winthrop.
The
office
of
emergency
management
based
on
the
early
construct
of
the
office
serves
as
the
administrative
support
and
the
fiduciary
for
the
region.
So
we
provide
that
support.
On
behalf
of
the
region,
a
and
b
we
provide
core
services,
as
it
relates
to
emergency
management.
A
Under
the
first
goal
area.
The
primary
mission
is
to
strengthen
communities
the
community
safety
and
security.
This
is
multi-discipline
it
services
and
provides
support
not
just
for
our
public
safety
sector,
but
also
the
health
commission.
We
provided
support
and
infrastructure
work
for
some
of
the
access
points
and
mechanisms
that
are
used
at
security
hall.
Excuse
me
at
city
hall
in
other
areas,
so
it
does
provide
broad-based
support
across
the
region
and
in
the
security
in
the
city.
A
The
third
area
deals
with
intelligence
and
information.
This
this
goal
area
provides
broadens
our
ability
to
develop
a
capacity
and
maintain
a
capacity
that
provides
relevant,
actionable
and
timely
information
and
intelligence
and
analytical
support
for
the
region.
We've
used
this
information
in
a
number
of
different
areas:
ma'am
and
counselor
around
elections.
A
Our
fourth
area
deals
with
interoperable
communications,
and
this
enables
us
to
establish
a
regional
network
that
leverages
fiber,
fiber
and
microwave
acid
interoperable
access
across
jurisdictions.
Now
that
was
a
lot
and
what
it
basically
says
is
it
allows
us
to
work
across
disciplines
so
that
we
can
communicate.
Technology
has
vastly
increased
over
the
years.
A
Many
of
our
infrastructures
are
old,
so
this
grant
allows
us
to
continually
invest
in
that
area
so
that,
as
we
look
at
and
particularly
in
the
spirit
of
mutual
aid
and
collaborativeness
and
cooperativeness,
it
allows
us
to
talk
to
our
neighbors
and
across
disciplines
without
having
to
build
up
and
invest
in
individual
systems.
So
this
provides
that
that
ability
to
do
that.
Our
fifth
area
and
I'm
almost
there
ma'am,
is
suburni
again,
which
is
short
for
chemical,
biological,
radiological,
nuclear
and
explosive
detection.
A
So
we
think
about
boston
fire.
We
had
a
major
event
several
years
ago,
where
they
were
fighting
a
fire
over
in
east
boston,
a
casket
fire.
They
were
undeniably
chemicals
in
there
that
equipment
helps
them
to
decon,
we
think
of
the
police
department.
We
think
of
the
tremendous
work
that
the
men
and
women
do
around
drug
interdiction
when
they're
exposed
to
fentanyl
and
when
they're
exposed
to
meth
labs
and
other
vulnerable
areas
to
our
immune
systems.
A
That
equipment
provides
that
level
of
protection
and
again
when
we
think
about
ems,
ems
has
to
respond
to
it
and
treat
those
first
responders,
as
well
as
those
community
members
and
in
many
instances
that
they
are
subject
to
secondary
eye
exposure.
So
this
equipment
is
extremely
helpful
in
providing
that
not
just
for
public
safety,
but
also
on
behalf
of
our
residents,
the
next
gold
area,
public
health
and
medical
services.
A
A
An
investment
in
these
areas
enables
us
to
be
able
to
invest
and
provide
the
level
of
support
that
the
medical
community
needs
particularly
ems,
as
our
lead
medical
response
agency
to
be
able
to
provide
the
level
of
support
that
is
needed
not
just
for
the
discipline
and
not
just
on
behalf
of
our
residents,
but
also
in
working
with
our
rich
medical
community.
So
it
provides
a
deep
level
of
support
for
providing
them
with
the
resources
that
they
need
next
area
planning
and
community
preparedness.
A
We
work
closely
with
the
city
of
boston's
office
of
intel
technology.
Do
it
in
being
able
to
provide
core
services
and
information
that
is
helpful
in
protecting
our
systems?
Interestingly
enough,
one
of
the
systems
that
we're
using
to
host
this
meeting,
so
this
area
does
provide
those
resources
on
that
security
that
helps
to
strengthen
those
areas
so
that
we
can
continue
on
with
the
people's
work
and
then.
A
So
I
want
to
close
by
you
know
mention
that
the
spirit
of
this
grant
is
immensely
important
to
emergency
management
in
the
work
that
we
provide,
and
it
is,
has
been
critical
and
will
continue
to
be
critical
for
planning
and
the
services
that
we
provide
not
just
to
our
communities
in
our
city
but
to
the
rich
man.
Thank
you.
B
No
thank
you,
and,
and
thank
you
for
the
the
more
detailed
overviews
which
are
always
really
helpful,
and
thank
you
also
nancy
as
well
for
the
work
you
do
and
have
done
over
the
years.
What
would
be
helpful
is
if
we
could
get
a
for
many
of
the
grants.
We
get
a
breakdown,
especially
the
larger
grants,
of
the
specific,
not
just
the
areas
that
you
mentioned,
but
how
much
resources
or
monetary
dollars
are
going
to
specific
areas.
That
would
be
helpful,
so
I
can
share
with
council
colleagues.
B
Can
you
also
quickly
talk
about
your
budget
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is.
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
who
don't
know
how
little
your
budget,
how
little
of
your
budget
comes
from
the
actual
operating
budget
from
the
city
of
boston
and
is
really
grant
based
in
many
ways.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that,
which
is,
I
think,
helpful
as
well
to
council
colleagues.
A
Sure
to
your
first
point,
ma'am
nancy
anderson,
which
is
thank
you
for
recognizing
her,
and
I
articulated
I
mentioned
to
her
early
on.
She
is
the
backbone
of
a
lot
of
our
work.
She
really
adds
up
the
administrative
side
of
the
house.
She
has
done
a
lot
of
this
work,
so
we'll
work
on
through
the
folks
at
igr
and
your
team
to
ensure
that
you
get
access
to
that
information.
I
know
that
she
hasn't.
A
She
has
worked
on
it
to
your
second
point,
ma'am,
to
to
your
point
around
our
operating
our
budget,
we
receive
approximately
and
again
we
can
get
you
actual
detail.
Approximately
ten
percent
of
our
budget,
maybe
plus
or
minus,
goes
to
support
our
activities
and
our
actions
both
operationally
and
from
a
human
capital
standpoint.
The
overwhelming
majority,
which
is
six
hundred
thousand
plus,
comes
from
the
grant
and
helping
to
support
those
same
functions.
B
And
then
my
last
question
before
I
turn
it
to
counselor
flynn
is
you
you
did
quickly
talk
about
the
intelligence
and
info
sharing.
Can
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
that
entails,
because
it's
obviously
a
major
topic
of
discussion.
I
think
for
folks
who've
reached
out
to
us
and
then
I
can
turn
it
over
to
councillor
flynn.
A
But
it
has
been
and
is,
and
will
continue
to
be
helpful
in
areas
such
as
elections
and
the
health
commission
and
how
we
respond
to
different
events
and
how
we
prepare.
It's
also
helpful
for
the
fire
department
when
we
think
about
the
other
goal
area
that
talks
about
chemical
and
biological
weapons.
That
information
is
extremely
helpful
in
being
able
to
catalog
that
information
share
it
make
it
actionable
and
share
with
the
stakeholders
in
a
way
that
is,
user,
are
user-friendly
and
helpful
as
we
provide
services.
A
So
again,
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
the
boundaries
and
think
about
the
police
department
responding,
but
that
is
a
high-level
overview
on
how
that
information
is
extremely
helpful,
and
I
will
close
ma'am
on
this
comments,
as
we
think
about
the
most
recent
election,
particularly
the
presidential
election,
and
how
polarizing
it
was.
We
worked
extremely
well
together
in
the
city,
we
worked
collaboratively
to
support
the
elections
department
to
ensure
that
they
had
the
resources
that
they
needed.
A
B
D
Thank
you,
council
campbell.
I
just
had
a
quick
follow-up
to
assist
the
police
and
to
assist
the
fire.
You
know
police,
responding
to
fentanyl
or
lab
drug
labs
or
the
fire
responding
to
chemical
fires.
What
what
assistance
do
you
provide
prior
to
this
or
what
type
of
training
would
you
provide
to
the
police
and
fire
on
how
to
respond
when
it's,
when
their
safety
is
also
in
jeopardy
as
they
as
they
respond
to
a
call.
A
Thank
you
counselor,
so
in
that
area
I
would
respectfully
defer
to
both
police
and
phi
in
that
area.
What
I
can
say,
sir,
is,
is
that
the
resources
that
are
provided
by
way
of
this
grant,
in
addition,
I'm
sure
to
other
areas
for
which
they
have
resources,
both
in
the
department,
whether
it
be
operational
funds
and
resources
or
other
areas.
They
do
a
great
job
of
training
in
these
particular
areas
we
have
by
within
the
metro,
boston,
homeland
security
region
construct.
D
Thank
you
and
my
final
question.
I
know
you
you
mentioned
it
at
the
beginning,
the
the
several
cities
and
towns
that
you
mentioned
that
you
work
closely
with
that
are
part
of
the
regional
task
force,
so
they're
all
able
to
now
communicate
via
electronic
means
at
the
same
time
so
that
they
can
get
live,
live
updates
and
live
feed
as
situations
are
happening
in
communicating
with
each
other.
B
B
E
This
opened
up
the
grants
of
many
different
non-profits
that
allow
funds
to
be
granted
to
new
organizations
with
the
best
in
community
interest
in
addressing
and
responding
to
youth
violence
through
a
variety
of
means.
This
is
now
an
annual
part
of
the
shannon
funding
cycle
occurring
in
august,
for
which
we
receive
about
50,
to
60
applications
for
the
grant
and
usually
take
on
five
new
partners
annually.
E
We
believe
shannon
programming
has
had
an
impact
on
youth
violence
city-wide
since
its
inception
in
2006
to
the
end
of
2020,
we've
seen
the
16
decrease
in
homicides.
Nine
percent
decrease
in
aggravated
assaults
in
the
10
decrease
in
total
violent
crimes
all
through
an
initial
investment
of
350
dollars
per
young
person.
E
So
through
this
year,
this
last
2020
was
a
a
difficult
cycle
for
shannon
I'm
sure
it
was
a
difficult
year
for
a
lot
of
organizations
in
our
city,
but
we
what
we
did
is
strengthen
our
communication
throughout
organizations
and
our
kind
of
cross
partnership
communication.
So
I
would
like
to
take
this
time
to
kind
of
shout
out
a
few
of
our
organizations
and
our
partners
that
have
helped
us
through
that
year,
starting
first
with
the
mayor's
office
of
public
safety
that
will
be
rufus,
faulk
and
xavier
melissa
and
mark
and
marta.
E
I
also
like
to
support,
send
my
support
to
and
my
thanks
to
counselor
campbell
for
the
helping
us
with
youth
development
grants
and
bringing
that
from
this
into
a
wider
space
and
our
in
our,
of
course,
our
long-term
partnership
with
ssy.
That
would
be
francis
de
luca
and
the
work
that
he
does
in
that
population.
E
E
B
B
E
Yeah,
historically,
for
shannon
we
stay
in
this
range,
around
1.8
million
dollars,
so
last
year
was
1.8
million
as
well,
so
we
just
probably
like
40
000
less
than
we
received
last
year,
but
organizations
that
I
feel
like
those
are
the
places
that
it
was.
The
pivot
was
the
greatest,
because
organizations
had
to
shut
down
all
services
and
it
was
just
a.
E
But
this
one
there's
no
food,
there's
no
this,
and
so
you
can't
do
those
kind
of
things
once
you
have
that
pivot
and
we're-
and
you
know
it's
just
a
bigger
fight
for
us-
and
so
I
think
it's
all
of
us
to
have
to
do
this
collectively-
to
go
to
the
to
the
state
and
say
hey:
we
need
these
kind
of
services
and
we
need
this
kind
of
a
pivot.
That's
that's
the
larger
fight
for
us
in
the
future.
I
hope.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
campbell
and
thank
you
dejuan
for
that
informative
update.
We
appreciate
your
work.
I
know
you
mentioned
frank
deluca
the
opportunity
to
work
with
frank.
When
I
was
a
probation
officer
at
suffolk
superior
court,
he
did
an
excellent
job
on
re-entry
issues.
Dewan.
Can
you
tell
me
about
just
generally
speaking,
some
of
the
outreach
you're
doing
or
your
team
is
doing,
for
returning
citizens
coming
out
of
jail
coming
out
of
prison?
E
E
So
that
would
be
our
our
closest
link
to
doing
sort
of
re-entry
programming
for
for
shannon
but
yeah
there.
In
the
few
in
the
past,
there
had
been
a
a
lot
stronger
of
a
push
for
re-entry
programming,
but
we
kind
of
lost
that
that
funding
at
one
point-
and
so
it
kind
of
it
kind
of
fell
to
the
wayside
for
us,
but
we
we
are
working
closely
with
with
the
suffolk
county
house
of
corrections
in
different
programs.
E
D
I
know
inner
city
weightlifting
does
a
little.
Does
some
outreach
too
for
returning
citizens
as
well,
and
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
the
suffolk
county,
sheriff's
department
too,
and
steve
tompkins,
the
ro,
the
critical
role
they
play.
So
how
was
that
relationship
going
just
city
of
boston,
suffolk,
county
and
some
of
the
partners
about
returning
citizens
trying
to
get
them
back
into
into
society
with
the
access
to
a
job?
Some
job
training,
public
health
issues,
public
health
concerns-
I
know
maria
has
her
hand
up.
F
When
boston
had
run
the
boston
reentry
initiative
for
seven
for
16
years,
at
that
time,
we
had
won
a
lot
of
national
acclaim
because
we
had
lowered
our
recidivism
rate
in
a
great
way.
Due
to
the
work
we
were
doing
through
case
management
services,
job
training,
job
placement,
partnerships
again
under
the
obama
administration.
We
had
won
many
awards
for
the
for
that
work
and
we
had
expanded
it
to
not
only
include
the
suffolk
county
house
of
corrections,
but
the
massachusetts
department
of
corrections,
and
when
that
funding
was
transferred
to
another
nonprofit.
F
There
are
also
a
lot
of
discussions
going
on
ongoing
around.
How
do
we
re-engage
with
the
massachusetts
department
of
corrections
and
again
do
the
same
work
through
the
five
case?
Managers
that
we're
have
through
ssyi,
so
more
directly
in
sort
of
focused
in
terms
of
our
pivot,
was
when
the
boston
re-entry
initiative,
which
was
the
formal
name
for
it,
had
lost
funding
a
couple
years
back
since
then,
we
have
been
working
to
use
our
ssy
case
managers
to
take
on
that
responsibility.
F
I
case
managers
that
serve
a
very
specific
highest
risk
group,
that's
involved
in
violent
crime,
and
so
it's
it
would
be
nice
to
have
a
separate,
robust,
reentry
only
model,
but
I
think
we
did
a
good
job
pivoting
and
using
our
existing
resources
under
ssy
to
go
behind
the
wall
and
do
that
work.
I
can
take
my
little
hand
down
now,
but
if
anyone
has
any
questions
about
re-entry,
just
please
feel
free
to
ask.
D
Yeah
thank
thank
you,
maria.
That
information
was
very
helpful
and
thank
you
jamon
for
for
your
work
as
well.
The
work
of
re-entry
is
very,
very
important,
and
I'm
I'd
like
to
continue
working
with
you
guys
on
that.
I,
as
I
mentioned,
I'm
a
probation
officer
by
training,
so
I
would
love
to
continue
working
with
you
guys
in
that
field.
B
B
B
E
B
B
B
All
right,
I'm
now
going
to
move
on
to
docket0193,
which
is
the
fy
20
burn
justice
assistance
grant,
grant
local
allocation
and
if
maria,
are
you
going
to
speak
on
this
docket?
No
okay,
if
you
could
just
obviously
state
your
name
for
the
record,
the
department,
you
represent.
Okay
and
let
us
know
what
this
is
for.
That
would
be
great.
F
Out
of
the
boston
police
department,
this
particular
grant
is,
is
what
they
call
a
formula
grant
and
by
formula
grant
it.
Basically,
all
local
jurisdiction
get
jurors
jurisdictions,
get
a
certain
different
amount
of
money
every
year,
it's
a
continuation
grant.
They
get
the
grant
based
on
the
crime
numbers
that
they
submit
to
the
fbi
around
march
early
late
february,
early
march
every
year
regarding
the
prior
year's
crime
stats.
F
So
for
this
particular
year
we
had
turned
in
our
crime
stats
and
this
the
amount
that
we
are
awarded
through
this
formula
is
3070
three,
three
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
four
hundred
and
fifty
seven
dollars.
As
I
said,
it's
a
continuation
grant,
so
it
continues
to
support
existing
ongoing
positions.
F
The
three
positions
that
it
supports
is
a
domestic
violence
analyst
that
works
over
at
the
family
justice
center
and
that
person
provides
ongoing
support
to
the
units
of
the
family
justice
center,
which
include
not
only
domestic
violence
but
human
trafficking,
primarily
sex
trafficking
crimes
against
children
and
sexual
assault,
and
so
with
those
numbers
that
come
in
through
those
four
categories.
They
need
a
data
analyst
to
get
to
process
and
to
create
reports
on
those
numbers
and
to
report
those
numbers
out.
So
that's
that
person's
full-time
position.
F
We've
onboarded,
mach,
43's
record
management
system,
which
most
people
in
policing
know,
is
the
rms
system.
The
rms
system
collects
crime
data
for
every
incident
that
comes
into
the
city
of
boston,
so
an
incident
report
is
filled
out.
It
is
then
stuck
put
into
the
system,
and
then
people
draw
down
those
numbers
through
that
system
to
be
able
to
again
report
out
crime
numbers
in
all
crime
categories.
F
The
third
position
is
a
hub
coordinator
and
that's
a
citywide
position,
and
I
want
to
thank
councillor
campbell
for
supporting
the
hub
model
and
supporting
the
use
of
these
funds
to
provide
us
with
the
city-wide
hub
coordinator.
That
hub
coordinator
is
going
to
begin
probably
end
of
march,
beginning
of
I'm
sorry,
beginning
of
my
end
of
february,
beginning
of
march
and
through
that
position
we're
going
to
expand
hubs
in
dorchester,
c11,
roxbury,
b2,
matapan
b3,
and
we're
going
to
try
to
create
a
hub
table
in
the
melania
cass
area.
F
Going
on
in
that
project
right
now,
if
anyone
has
any
questions
about
it
call
me
I'm
overseeing
sort
of
getting
these
four
new
pilot
hubs
up
and
running
in
these
four
districts
extremely
exciting
model.
I
I
feel
that
the
model
will
allow
us
to
transition
to
a
lot
of
the
police
reforms
that
we've
been
talking
about
all
along
over
the
past
year
and
a
half,
if
not
three
years,
and
we
could.
F
There
is
some
funding
in
there
for
all
the
time
oftentimes
we
put
that
in
that
line
item
so
that,
if
something
happens
with
these
positions,
we
can
put
transfer
the
money
into
the
positions,
the
salary
and
friends,
and
when
I
say
sometimes
things
happen.
Sometimes,
if
the
federal
government
is
in
a
transition
space
and
they're
six
months
late
with
funding,
we
don't
want
to
have
to
let
these
people
go
and
then
rehire
them.
So
we
sort
of
put
that
money
aside
in
sort
of
a
parking
lot.
F
Let's
say
to
be
able
to
cover
these
positions
if
the
funding
doesn't
come
in
as
as
planned
in
terms
of
the
annual
timeline
of
selling
salary
in
french
and
and
those
are
the
four
line
items.
So
if
anybody
has
any
questions
about
any
of
those
projects,
positions
specifically
the
hub
feel
free
to
contact
me.
I'd
love
to
be
able
to
talk
about
that
model.
More.
B
Thank
you,
maria
and,
and
I
really
am
excited
about
the
the
hub
model
expansion
which
you
know
existed
obviously
in
some
other
parts
of
the
city
and
and
has
had
a
greater
response,
because
it's
coordinated
across
a
whole
host
of
providers
right,
not
just
law
enforcement.
So
this
is
really
exciting,
so
look
forward,
of
course,
to
staying
in
contact
on
implementation
of
the
hub
model
and
other
parts
of
the
city.
D
Thank
you,
council
campbell,
and
thank
you
maria
for
that
informative
presentation.
I
know
you
mentioned
you
had
funds
that
are
available
for
your
person.
That's
doing
domestic
violence,
outreach
at
the
family,
justice
center
myself
and
counselor
campbell
visited
there
several
times
had
had
a
chance
to
engage
and
talk
to
some
of
the
personnel
there
they're
doing
a
tremendous
job
working
closely
with
the
the
team
built
around
them.
F
So
that's
the
first
thing.
The
second
thing
we
do
is
we
have
an
extensive
partnership
network
with
casamayor
vesquez
barc,
the
domestic
violence
asian
task
force.
Yes,
all
these
service
providers
that
we
partner
with
and
when
I
say
partner
with
we're
on
the
phone
with
them
every
day
they
have
multiple
victim
advocates
that
speak
a
wide
variety
of
languages.
F
Could
we
use
more
domestic
violence
advocates
in
the
nonprofit
sector?
Yes,
we
certainly
can
so,
let's
just
keep
that
in
mind,
and
could
we
use
not
only
a
larger
number
of
advocates
that
serve
victims
of
domestic
violence
and
other
gender-based
violence.
We
certainly
can
use
them
that
also
who
speak
different
languages
and
come
from
different
backgrounds.
D
Well,
thank
you,
maria.
That
information
was
very
helpful
and
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
the
asian
task
force
against
domestic
violence.
I
do
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
work
with
them.
They're
a
wonderful
organization
and
the
first
time
I
met
with
them.
I
asked
them
what
their
biggest
challenge
was
in
the
executive
director's
response
was
language
language
access,
because
there's
so
many
dialects
of
various
various
languages
in
the
asian
community
that
that
language
access
is
critical.
B
B
Okay,
oh
yeah,
thank
you
and
then,
let's
move
on
to
the
next
docket,
which
is
docket
zero
one
one
eight.
This
is
the
fy20
reducing
injury
and
death
of
missing
individuals
with
dementia
and
developmental
disabilities
program
and
maria,
are
you
speaking
on
this?
So
that's!
That's
me.
Okay,
perfect,
hi,
your
name,
obviously
for
the
record
in
the
department
and
then
give
it
over
your
overview.
That'd
be
great.
H
Really
simply
it
is
a
we
we
partner
with
safetynet,
which
it
used
to
be
familiar
with
lojack,
but
it
provides
tracking
for
people
who
have
dementia
or
developmental
disabilities
or
autism.
So
if
they
have
a
tendency
to
wander,
we
can
locate
them
quickly
and
safely,
and
it's
incredible
technology
and
it's
a
little
money
goes
such
a
long
way.
H
And
then
that's
the
biggest
budget
line
item
and
then
also
providing
some
training
for
the
street
outreach
unit
with
regards
to
dementia
and
developmental
disabilities
and
to
go
to
some
trainings
for
the
grant,
but
pretty
much.
The
whole
thing
goes
to
safetynet.
It
is
again
some
of
the
best
money
we'll
spend
as
soon
as
we
get
the
approval
I
intend
on
putting
out.
You
know
something
on
our
our
website
to
kind
of
put
it
out
there
that
we
have
these
funds,
but
it
is
some
of
the
best
stuff.
B
No,
that's
great
jenna
thank
you
and
if
you
could
send
over
any
breakdowns
of
the
numbers,
that's
great,
and
I
can
see
that
colleagues
and
do
keep
us
posted
on
when
we're
going
to
put
out
information
on
how
folks
can
obtain
these
right
the
process.
Of
course,
we
want
to
be
helpful
on
our
end
and
making
sure
that
people
are
aware
of
it.
Even
though,
of
course,
it's
on
the
first
come
first
say:
first
serve
basis,
so
let
us
know
we'll
do.
Thank
you,
counselor
flynn,
do
you
have
any
questions
on
this
specific
docket.
D
D
D
Yeah
commissioner
mccosh
who's,
a
friend
of
mine,
she's,
the
chair,
she's,
a
wonderful
person
and
she'll
be
glad
to
help
out
a
partner,
but
she
does
a
lot
of
obviously
a
lot
of
work
in
this
in
this
field.
So
I
I
I
have
the
greatest
respect
for
people
that
do
work
in
the
disability
field.
So
thank
you,
jenna,
for
what
what
you're
doing.
B
Thank
you,
councillor
flynn.
Yes,
commissioner
markosh's
thing,
her
team
is
probably
under
resource,
given
all
that
they
do,
and
she
has
incredible
contacts
not
only
with
buildings,
for
example
within
the
the
authority
of
the
city,
but
also
our
external
partners,
who
either
house
those
with
disabilities
or
who
provide
technical
assistance.
B
It
might
be
easy
channels
for
us
to
use
to
be
able
to
get
some
of
these
devices
out
to
those
who
need
it
the
most.
So
thank
you,
councillor
flynn
and
thank
you
jenna.
Thank
you
both
and
then
now
move
on
to
the
last
docket,
which
is
docket
zero
one
two.
Actually
it's
not
the
last
docket
there's
two
more
left,
but
the
next
docket,
which
is
zero
one,
two
one
which
is
the
municipal
road
safety
program
who
is
going
to
testify
maria?
Are
you
going
to
testify
on
that
awesome.
F
It's
called
the
municipal
road
safety
grant
and
basically
it's
a
forty
thousand
dollar
grant.
That
will
allow
us
to
use
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
do
safety
mobilizations
in
conjunction
and
coordination
with
others
with
other
jurisdictions
throughout
the
state
on
an
annual
schedule.
So,
for
example,
the
executive
office
of
public
safety
are
on
super
bowl.
Sunday
will
put
out
a
statewide
mobilization
for
drunk
driving.
F
F
Some
mobilizations
are
distracted,
driving,
others
are
impaired,
driving
and
occupant
protection,
so
they
choose
the
mobilization
based
on
the
date
and
the
time
of
year,
and
maybe
events
that
are
happening
annually
during
those
dates
and
times
the
other
20
000
dollars
in
that
grant,
pays
for
transportation
safety
equipment
so
for
our
with
our
20
000.
We're
going
to
be
buying
some
of
those
later
guns,
lidar
guns,
they're
called,
and
basically
they
allow
a
police
officer
to
figure
out
how
fast
somebody's
going
as
they
speed
by.
We
had
a
little
shortage
on
that.
D
D
B
Thanks
all
right,
thank
you,
councillor
flynn,
thank
you
maria
for
that
and
then
I'll
go
into
the
very
last,
oh,
and
if
you
could
also,
I
know
you're,
you
testified
to
it
send
over
the
breakdowns
as
well.
Just
so
I
can
share,
we
can
share
with
central
staff
and,
of
course,
council
colleagues
that
would
be
great
and
then
the
last
docket
is.
Let
me
get

right

the
bureau

the

this.
This

would
like
to
express
our

G
The

police
department
is
committed
to
providing
boston
residents
for
professional
and
effective
investigations.
Training
is
an
integral
component
of
the
investigative
process
each
year,
the
new
members
of
the
homicide
unit.
They
attend
specialized
training
and
death
investigations
this
year,
due
to
the
promotion
and
retirements
of
several
members
of
the
homicide
unit,
we're
going
to
have
a
number
of
new
personnel
assigned
there.
G
This
funding
will
assist
us
ensuring
that
new
members
of
the
unit
receive
the
necessary
training.
Also,
the
boston
police,
unsolved
homicide
squad
investigates
homicides
from
previous
years
that
remain
unsolved.
The
squad
is
now
utilizing
the
emerging
field
of
genetic
genealogy
testing
and
an
effort
to
identify
unknown
homicide
victims.
G
Gina
john
done
victims
from
years
past
that
still
remain
unidentified.
This
science
may
also
yield
identified
of
unknown
suspects.
We
we
have
a
number
of
them
over
the
years.
You
know
we
have
some
dna
evidence,
but
we've
yet
to
identify
so
we're
going
to
utilize.
You

some
of
the
funds
from
