Today
from
the

we
have
Frank
DeLuca,
ssyi
program,
coordinator
office
of
research
and
development
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
Roy
Martin,
division
of
violence,

Boston,
Public,
Health,
commission
I
do
Anthony
Rizzo
from
program
manager,
Metro,
Boston,
Securities,
Boston,
Police
Department,
and
please
excuse
me
and
identify
yourself
for
the
record.
I,
don't
have
you
on
the
sheet.
A
Scott
and
Mark
Scott
here
for
questions
very
good,
and
my
squad
is
available
for
questions
always
great
to
see
you
guys
and
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
just
dive
right
into
it.
Well,
actually
for
another
I
guess
internal
when
it
comes
to
public
testimony.
Anyone
here
wishing
to
offer
a
public
testimony
may
do
so
at
the
appropriate
time.
A
By
signing
the
sheet,
that's
over
to
my
left
as
you
come
in
the
door
and
also
you'll
be
recognized
from
that
Podium
or
this
Podium,
depending
on
where
you're
coming
from
in
the
chamber
and
with
that
we're
gonna
get
right
into
it.
So
I'll
give
the
administration
opportunity
to
talk,
and
why
don't
we?
A
What
we've
talked
about
both
I
guess
introduced
both
at
the
same
time,
then
we'll
open
it
up
to
questions
from
my
colleagues
as
well
as
the
chair
and
then
we'll
hear
from
members
of
the
public
if
they
so
wish
to
testify.
So
whoever
wants
to
start,
you
have
the
floor.
Target
one
zero
one!
Nine.
B
Good
afternoon,
chairman
Flaherty
president
Flynn
and
councilor
Murphy,
my
name
is
Frank
DeLuca
I
work,
the
office
of
research
and
development
at
the
Boston
Police
Department
and
I
represent
the
department,
as
the
law
enforcement
lead
for
the
safe
and
successful
youth
initiative
or
ssyi.
B
acting
as
grantee
the
Boston
Police
Department
provides
administrative
oversight
to
the
ssyi
program
as
it
works
with
Community
coalitions
to
implement
a
combined
public
health
and
Public
Safety
effort
to
eliminate
youth
violence
in
the
city
of
Boston.
This
is
why
I
focuses
on
young
adults
between
the
ages
of
17
and
24,
who
are
identified
as
proven
risk
or
most
likely
to
be
perpetrators
or
victims
of
shooting
violence.
B
In
addition
to
that,
this
individual
must
currently
reside
in
Boston
or
spend
a
significant
amount
of
time
in
Boston
or
is
expected
to
be
released
into
the
City
of
Austin,
the
Boston
police
contracts
with
the
Boston
Public
Health
commission.
To
be
the
lead
agency
of
the
program.
The
Health
commission
coordinates
delivery
of
intervention
services
for
those
identified
proven
risk
young
men
and
women,
while
also
providing
intensive
case
management
and
Outreach.
B
Those
organizations
are
mission:
Safe
Notre,
Dame
education,
center,
More,
Than
Words,
the
Boston
Medical
Center
emergency
services
program
in
the
city
weightlifting,
and
you
Boston,
and
through
these
Services,
the
ssyi
Boston
program
engages
our
proven
risk
young
adults
and
redirects
them
away
from
a
life
of
continually
contributing
to
Street
violence
to
a
positive
pro-social
alternative.
So
that,
in
effect,
is
a
brief
summary
of
the
program.
A
Very
good
proven
risk,
obviously
is
I.
Guess
is
the.
A
Is
I
guess
the
criteria
that
you're
referring
to
is
that
that's
not
part
of
the
gang
database
correct
no.
D
A
And
the
five
categories
there's
obviously
two
with
five
subsets,
those
that's
the
that's.
A
Yi
program,
very
good
I'd
be
remiss.
Obviously
we
don't
talk
about
some
of
the
most
recent
crime,
particularly
youth,
violent
crime.
That's
occurred
in
our
city
with
the
shooting
death
of
a
14
year
old
yesterday
and
another
individual
seriously
injured,
as
well
as
shooting
last
week
in
front
of
one
of
our
local
high
schools.
So
in
implementing
these
intervention
programs
and
obviously
hoping
that
these
grants
that
are
administered
through
the
BPD
can
achieve
a
level
of
success
along
with
a
cooperation
of
all
of
our
partners.
A
You
know,
obviously,
our
schools
are
a
continuation,
a
few
of
our
neighborhoods,
but
it's
our
community
health
centers.
It's
our
non-profit,
Partners,
it's
a
for-profit
Partners.
It's
everybody!
We
all
have
a
stake
in
making
sure
that
our
city
is
safe,
that
our
children
can
go
to
and
from
school
and
be
at
school
safely
and
being
out
in
the
neighborhoods
when
not
in
school
or
as
yesterday,
enjoying
a
day
off
holiday
and
and
so
I
guess.
A
B
To
be
specific,
we
have
we're
fortunate
enough
to
have
the
director
of
us.
That's
why
I
Roy
here
who
will
address
that
more
specifically
sure
that'd.
C
Be
great,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
the
question.
Counselor
I
think
for
one
in
instances
like
this.
We
also
have
a
category
of
individuals.
We
engage,
who
are
persons
who
are
not
only
perpetrators
of
firearm
violence,
but
also
victims
of
firearm
violence.
So
we
engage
and
enroll
a
lot
of
individuals
into
the
program
who
fit
that
criteria.
C
There
is
one
limitation,
however,
in
that
our
age,
demographic
is
17-24,
so
we
we
do
have
that
challenge,
but
we're
also
in
partnership
with
a
number
of
programs
like
the
youth
development
Network
at
the
Boston
Public
Health.
Commission.
Let
me
apologize
sorry
about
that,
like
why
didn't
you've
developed
a
network
at
the
Boston
Public
Health
commission,
where
a
lot
of
our
programming
overlaps,
our
interventions
and
efforts,
and
also
identification
of
individuals
who
are
likely
in
need
of
some
sort
of
service
or
engagement.
C
So
it's
it's
certainly
heartbreaking
to
hear
about
the
incident
you
know
yesterday,
dancing
with
you
know
a
few
weeks
ago
with
another
very
young
teenager,
and
particularly
the
incident
at
the
school
as
well
so
I
know
there
are
certain
entities
that
are
connected
to
the
schools
that
we're
also
connected
with
I
know
saw
Boston
has
a
presence
at
Boston,
Public
Schools
as
well,
who
you
know
has
been
in
partnership
with
us
for
a
number
of
years.
C
So
it's
it's
it's
challenging
because
the
nature
of
who
we
work
with
our
persons
with
the
risk
Association
is
proven,
which
means
that
there
are
times
where
it's
already
happened,
but
we
do
engage
with
anybody
who
is
associated
with
the
situation
as
well.
You
know
with
a
mindset
that
a
person
who
has
evidence
of
past
firearm
violence
victimization
is
likely
to
commit
one
or
more
acts
in
the
future.
So
that's
pretty
much
how
we
engage
that
population
do.
C
I'll
say
this,
and
this
is
a
question
I
think
director
Scott
could
answer
as
well
that
we
are
currently
in
the
process
of
trying
to
expand
the
Continuum
of
services
pretty
much
to
cover
life
course
and
lifespan
which
begins
very
early
in
life,
not
as
17
or
24.
We
do
have
some
I
guess
challenges
with
just
this
arbitrary
drop
off.
You
know
where
an
individual
gets
to
a
certain
age
and
they're
no
longer
eligible
for
services,
in
collaboration
with
the
office
of
research
and
development.
C
Actually
so
without
BPD
we
can't
determine
if
someone
is
proven
risk
there
has
to
be
evidence
somewhere
like
an
arrest,
incarceration,
re-entry
conviction
or
prior
victimization.
So
we
can't
go
by
word
of
mouth
and
there
are
certain
individuals
that
you
know
for
the
most
part,
typical
bostonians
that
are
not
involved
in
negative
activities
that
become
you
know,
victimized
by
violence,
and
so
we
try
to
focus
because
we
don't
have
unlimited
resources.
C
We
were
just
talking
earlier
about
one
individual,
whose
name
I'm
going
to
bring
up
Jim
McConaughey
and
in
her
research.
What
we
look
at
is
the
frequency
you
know
of
persons
who
say
if
you
end
up
killed,
you
go
backwards
in
time
and
figure
out
like
what
were
their
prior
arrest
records.
Look
looking
like
and
I
think
it
was
like
over
50
percent
of
individuals
who
are
killed
or
arrested
for
homicide.
C
There
was
some
system
connection
that
we
probably
could
have
looked
at
as
an
entry
point
to
engage
with
a
person
so
that
later
on,
you
know
the
line,
as
I
mentioned,
the
most
likely
person
to
kill
get
killed
is
going
to
be
like
30..
So,
and
you
know,
if
we're
effective
with
that,
we're
also
effective
at
kind
of
helping
the
trajectory
of
persons
who
are
going
to
be
the
future
parents
and
raising
children
who
might
also
be
brought
into
that
lifestyle.
So
you
need
that
kind
of
surgical
precision
and.
A
C
Bts
families,
Etc
yeah
BPS,
our
greatest
partner,
is
the
re-engagement
center,
because
dropouts
are
also
a
predictive
future.
C
You
know
I,
don't
want
to
say
violence,
but
future
negative
impacts
throughout
your
life
course
and
through
our
research
again
we
find
that
a
lot
of
individuals
that
we
see
that
show
up
in
very
Sensational
crimes
also
has
struggles
in
the
school
as
well
in
the
place
that
they've
reconnect
is
the
re-engagement
center.
So
that's
our
connection
on
the
school
and
then
there
was
a
second
entity.
You
mentioned
it.
A
Street
workers
Center
speak
within
families
BPS
anyone
that
has
interaction,
obviously
with
so
individuals
at
risk.
C
So
we
have
had,
since
our
Inception,
which
started
off
as
partnership
events
and
Community
together
in
2010.
we've
had
a
system
where
there
are
specific
individuals
who
we
expect
to
refer
clients
to
US
based
off
their
knowledge
in
the
streets
and
who
they're
working
with
and
the
experience
of
that
individual.
So
absolutely
we've
had
a
relationship
with
the
bcyf
center,
the
street
workers
prior
to
that
when
it
was
Street
safe
and
the
new
iteration,
which
became
soil
so
I
know
you
know
what
this
articles
about.
C
What
the
city's
process
is
going
to
look
like
moving
forward
and
once
that's
formulated
then
we'll
know
very
specifically
how
we
interact
with
that.
C
C
So
you
know:
we've
we've
made
some
changes
to
the
system
that
we
thought
was
just
you
know,
trying
to
meet
the
the
challenge
of
the
pandemic,
but
it
actually
improved
our
ability
to
engage
by
you
know.
Satellite.
C
You
know
communication
and
education
possibilities
so
yeah.
That's.
C
Owners
so
we
began
in
the
very
beginning.
It
was.
It
was
anybody
any
age
and
then
once
we
really
started
to
narrow
down
a
specific
demographic,
it
was
specifically
males
and
then
I
want
to
say
in
2018
19
we
we
came
up
with
you
know
a
policy
paper
that
we
presented
By
Request
at
eohhs.
You
know
a
couple
of
cities
about
what
would
it
look
like
to
expand
our
services
to
include
not
just
females
but
folks
that
identify
with
any
particular
gender
or
identity
and.
C
I
don't
see
where
else
we
would
go,
so
it's
I
think
all
the
evidence
would
suggest
that
it's
definitely
working
when
we
started
I.
Think
the
in
our
Inception
year.
Homicide
in
the
city
of
Boston
was
hovering
that
or
around
70
a
year,
the
last
few
years.
Well,
let
me
just
say
this
I
think
we're
one
of
the
only
constants
in
the
city.
Throughout
that
time
frame.
We've
seen,
you
know,
Street
safe,
come
and
go.
We've
seen
the
street
worker
program
be
revamped
to
become
sore
and
now
that's
on
its
way
out.
C
So
you
know
something
was
here
throughout
that
time
and
where
the
only
constant,
in
collaboration
with
a
number
of
programs
that
Frank
mentioned
in
his
opening,
as
well
as
the
law
enforcement
referral
sources,
picking
the
right
people
like,
for
instance
when
in
a
custody
situation
they'd,
let
us
know
who's,
fighting
in
custody
and
who
are
the
persons
they
predict
are
going
to
be
problematic
when
they
hit
the
community.
Individuals
that
are
on
probation,
probation
officers
are
picking
the
right
people
and
right
people.
A
And
just
in
light
of
the
recent
uptick
that
we're
seeing
and
you
hit
the
fact
that
you
have
135
capacity,
just
ask
that
you
kind
of
maybe
throw
another
shoulder
into
that
and
reach
out
to
those
Community
Partners
to
see.
If
we're
missing
individuals
off,
we
can
expand
and
include
whether
it's
dropping
the
age
down
or,
if
necessary,
the
age
up
just
to
try
to
fill.
A
C
E
Thank
you
Mr
chair
and
thank
you
to
the
panel
for
the
important
work
you're
doing
in
the
city.
I
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
Frank
for
a
number
of
years.
I
worked
as
a
probation
officer
at
Suffolk,
Superior
Court.
We
worked
on
the
re-entry
initiative,
men
and
women
coming
out
of
prison
in
trying
to
provide
a
try
to
provide
programming
for
them,
such
as
mental
health,
counseling,
job
opportunities,
training
opportunities,
medical
care,
so
I'm
very
familiar
with
what
you're
doing
but
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
to
all
of
you
for
what
you
for
the
important
work,
you're
doing
and
I'm
glad
you
mentioned.
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
probation,
and
that
was
the
the
question
I
have
is
what
is
the
role
or
what
or
how
are
you,
interacting
with
the
court
system,
to
identify
the
young
men
that
are
in
need
of
mental
health,
counseling
they're
in
need
of
violence,
prevention,
counseling
in
other
in
other
skills?
How
are
you
identifying
them
through
the
court
system?
Are
you
working
with
the
court
system
and
how's
that
strategy
been?
Thank
you.
C
C
It
comes
with
it
that
you
know
we,
we
very
aggressively
offer
Behavioral
Health
Services,
but
what
we
at
a
minimum
ask
for
is
just
check
in
once
and
let's
see
what
happens
after
that,
and
then
you
know,
I
think
that
there's
a
sense
that
at
least
from
our
belief,
we
believe
that
a
lot
of
violent
Behavior
found
its
Genesis
a
long
time
ago
in
a
person's
life
course
like
they
didn't
just
wake
up
violent
and
so
there's
certain
acts
of
violence
that
we
kind
of
accept
that
a
person
you
know
is
going
to
have
some
needs
for
some
Behavioral
Health,
at
least
a
once
over
to
see
how
extreme
your
needs
may
or
may
not
be,
and
then
I
think
where
the
buy-in
happens
with
the
clients.
C
Is
that
a
lot
of
times
to
be
in
compliance
with
probation
and
Court
demands?
If
that's
part
of
your
service
plan,
and
we
help
you
achieve
that
a
lot
of
clients
buying
that
way.
So
our
connection
to
the
court
is
typically
pre-trial
a
lot
of
it
even
happens
from
like
cpcs
and
probation,
but
that
for
the
most
part
like
you
know,
we
don't
really
give
referrals
from
judges
I
think
in
that
case
they
don't
know.
What's
going
on.
The
case
is
currently
being
adjudicated,
but
it's
typically
probation,
parole
and
even
defense
counsel.
E
E
So
no
knowing
that
are
we
are
we
able
to
determine
if,
if
that
age,
or
that
that
group
of
people
were
involved
in
the
criminal
justice
system
as
a
young
teen,
maybe
age
14.
did
it
grow.
Did
they
expand
into
that
violence
when
they
turned
age?
30.
C
We
could
have
done
a
better
job.
That
I
would
say
is
the
gap
that
we
probably
could
and
should
be
looking
at.
So
just
for
instance,
we
we
did
have
the
opportunity
with
Dr
Ruth
has
fault,
with
some
arpa
funding
to
Pilot
some
work
that
we're
doing
this
outside
of
ssy,
but
it
was
something
meant
to,
for
the
most
part,
complement
ssy,
because
we're
worried
about
the
drop-off
age,
and
so
what
we
try
to
focus
on
was
exactly
that.
C
Were
there
ways
that
we
could
just
say
you
know
once
we
knew
like
that
developmental
age
of
25.
Sometimes
that
just
means
now
I
know
exactly
what
I'm
dealing
with
so
it
doesn't
mean
I'm
fixed
at
25..
It
means
the
person
is
fully
matured
and
now
we
know
we're
dealing
with
and
they
may
need
additional
services.
So
25
was
a
tough
drop
off
and
it
was
just
you
know,
a
small
pilot,
but
that's
what
we
chose
to
do
to
take
a
a
more
intense
look
at
what
happens
after
25.
Given
those
numbers
that
we
see.
E
Giving
that
person
the
opportunity
to
get
a
career
get
into
the
trades
get
into
get
into
a
good
good,
paying
job
working
hard.
I
believe
that
they
deserve
a
second
chance,
but
I
think
a
part
of
that
is
the
mental
health
counseling.
The
support
services
and
working
I
think
if
you're
working
full-time
40
hours
a
week,
50
hours
a
week
and
then
plus
you're
engaged
in
counseling,
you're,
less
likely
to
be
engaged
in
that
criminal
element.
That's
based
on
my
experience.
E
Supervising
people
on
probation
is
making
sure
that
they're
engaged
in
as
many
programs
in
job
job
training
or
employment
opportunities
as
possible.
So
thank
you
for
what
you're
doing.
Thank
you.
Does
this?
Does
the
city
of
Boston
Public
Health
commission?
Do
they
do
they?
Define
gun
violence
as
a
public
health
emergency.
C
C
Let
me
let
me
apologize.
Let
me
better
my
answer.
Okay,
it's
violence
is
firearm.
Violence
in
particular,
Community
violence
is
certainly
a
public
health
issue.
We
can't
declare
it
well
technically
the
executive
office
of
the
city
of
Boston
and
potentially
I.
Imagine
not
a
council
can
declare
an
emergency
so
I.
Don't
know
that
we
could
do
that
unilaterally,
but
it
is
a
public
health
issue
nationally
CDC.
It
absolutely
is
a
public
health
issue.
E
Yeah
I,
I,
I,
agree,
I,
think
it's
a
public
health
emergency
and
I
bring
that
term
up.
Emergency
I
agree,
because
if
you
define
something
as
an
emergency
that
would
enable
certain
funding
that
would
enable
certain
programs
to
be
focused
on
a
particular
problem,
so
defining
gun,
violence
or
or
violence
as
a
public
health
emergency
would
would
enable
the
city
to
do
even
more
in
terms
of
providing
resources
such
as
mental
health,
counseling,
Behavioral,
Counseling,
job
training
to
that
person
impacted
by
by
it.
E
Maybe
it's
something
we
might
want
to
do
some
more
research
on
and
declare
that
violence
in
Boston
is
a
public
health
emergency,
but
again
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
four
panelists
for
being
here
for
the
important
work
you
are
doing
and
also
thanking
the
the
chair.
Who's
been
involved
in
these
issues
for
a
long
period
of
time,
also
working
in
the
criminal
justice
system
as
a
district
attorney,
but
trying
to
help
people
get
into
programs
and
in
Behavioral
Counseling.
So
thank
you.
Mr
chair,
thank.
D
Care,
thank
you
analyst.
That
was
very
thorough
explanation.
D
I
learned
in
my
first
budget
season
that
a
lot
of
community
outreach
programs
and
a
lot
of
the
support
that
we
do
with
our
community
policing
is
directly
connected
to
the
work
that
the
Boston
police
does
in
their
grant.
Writing,
so
thank
you
for
applying
to
these
grants.
This
is
another
example
of
another
great
Grant.
We,
these
two
combined,
are
over
four
million
dollars
that
are
going
to
support.
You
know
the
social,
emotional
Wellness
of
our
youth
and
thank
you
to
the
chair
for
mentioning
and
uplifting.
You
know.
D
Yesterday,
a
14
year
old
was
dead
in
our
streets
and
it's
the
Public
Health
commission.
It's
the
Boston
police.
It's
people
like
you
who
are
out
there
working
with
these
children,
young
adults
and
families
all
the
time.
So
it
must
just
be
heartbreaking.
So
thank
you
for
all.
You
do
I
know
that
days
like
that
must
be
extremely
hard
for
you.
It's
also
very
uplifting
to
see
that
we
have
a
grant
that
where
the
police
are
working
directly
for
the
social,
emotional
and
Behavioral
Health
well-being
of
our
youth
right,
you
said
17
to
25.
D
Maybe
we
need
to
look
at
other
programs.
I
know
we
talk
about
it
and
previously,
as
a
school
teacher
I
know
when
we've
seen
it
here
on
the
council
we're
having
hearings
about
the
violence
in
our
Boston
public
schools,
that
our
elementary
schools
and
our
middle
schools
are
seeing
the
violence
that
you
sometimes
are
in
high
school,
so
it's
younger
and
younger
ages.
Some
of
it
may
be.
The
combination
of
K-8
schools
there's
lots
of
different
reasons,
but
we're
definitely
seeing
violence
younger
and
younger
across
the
city.
D
So
this
grant
is
wonderful
here
to
support
it,
but
also
maybe
supporting
going
forward
other
initiatives
that
we
can
Target
our
younger
age
group
or
even
that
older
age,
like
you
said,
there's
that
cut
off
that
happens
a
lot
right.
It
happens
in
school,
all
of
a
sudden,
you're
just
no
longer
eligible,
and
you
know
that
it's
not
always
a
hard
age,
but
it's
the
growth
or
what
the
students
need
at
that
time.
So
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
too,
for
the
a
thorough
questions.
I
don't
have
any
other
questions.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Elijah
Murphy,
just
one
additional
question:
what
type
of
intervention
services
does
the
ssyi
program
offer?
A
So,
if
I'm,
if
I'm,
if
I
fit
into
the
category
of
yep,
proven
risk
repeatedly
engaged
in
crimes
against
persons
I've
repeatedly
engaged
in
using
weapons
I'm
in
a
leadership
role
in
a
gang
of
substantial
I
mean
substantially
involved
in
gang
activity
or
Street
violence
of
significantly
facilitated
gang
activity
of
Street
violence
or
I
currently
reside
in
the
community
spending
a
significant
time
in
the
community
or
I'm
expected
to
be
released
in
to
the
community
and
I'm
on
everyone's
radar.
A
You've
identified
me,
you
now
come
to
me
as
I'm
wrapping
up
my
time
and
say
hey.
We
got
this
great
program
for
you.
It's
called
ssyi
we'd
like
to
join
us
and
then
I
go
tell
you
to
pound
sand
or
I
said
geez.
That's
a
great
idea
to
take
me
through
that.
Take
me
through
the
first
visit
you
come
and
see
me
while
I'm
wrapping
up
my
time
and
how
does
it
go
from
there.
A
And
it's
and
it
may
just
interject
it
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
involve
in
someone
that's
been
incarcerated,
correct,
it
could
be.
Someone
else
was
brought
to
your
attention.
So
just
take
me
through
those
two
examples:
someone
takes
you
you
and
I
meet
for
the
first
time
in
either
of
those
scenarios.
How
does
that
go
down
all.
C
Right
so
they
have
four
four
categorical
areas
that
we
believe
are
our
manual
Services.
It's
going
to
be
most
comprehensively
case
management
because
it's
going
to
fit
things
that
don't
fit
in
particular
buckets,
but
education,
employment
and
behavior
health.
So
on
introduction
first,
we
believe
everybody
wants
something
right.
So
when
we
engage
an
individual,
the
first
thing
we
do
is
we
let
them
know
how
we
even
became
known
about
them
so
that
they
know
you're
on
somebody's
radar,
that
you
don't
like,
and
the
number
two
thing
is,
as
president
Flynn
mentioned.
C
For
the
most
part,
busy
people
stay
out
of
trouble
is
people
with
too
much
time
on
their
hands
that
get
in
trouble.
So
we
just
asked
the
prospective
client.
What
is
it
that
you
want
to
do
what
you
want
to
do
now?
We
have
the
ability
to
stipend
a
client,
because
we
know
we
can't
just
say
hey.
Let
me
just
give
you
something,
and
you
know
you
go
on
and
you
know
find
a
job
whatever
based
off
of
referral.
C
You
may
have
to
help
them
get
back
and
forth
to
some
of
these
opportunities,
but
we
tend
to
just
ask
folks
what
it
is
they
want
to
do
and
if
I
can
help
you
do
that,
then
we
can
jump
in
to
the
relationship
together
and
I.
Don't
determine
what
that
thing
is
I,
don't
tell
you
what
it
is.
I
have
a
belief
what's
going
to
help
you,
but
we
asked
them
to
tell
us
first
and
a
lot
of
times.
C
Relationship
starts
off
very
low
impact,
some
folks
on
introduction,
where
I
have
to
prove
that
I'm
the
real
deal
for
us.
So
an
introduction,
they
may
say
I,
don't
really
need
nothing.
First
of
all,
the
group
typically
says
they
need
nothing.
I,
don't
need
nothing,
I'm,
good,
so
I'm,
like
all
right
cool.
You
know,
particularly
if
you're
re-entering
I'll
ask
like
well.
Do
you
have
all
your
documents
together?
C
C
Can
you
help
me
out,
with
whatever
it
is,
and
as
life
or
time
moves
forward
and
I've
been
successful?
At
the
my
new
things,
helping
you
get
your
health
insurance,
you
know,
so
you
could
check
in
just
check
in
see
Behavior
Health.
One
time
you
don't
got
to
go.
No
more
and
then
they
might
continue
to
take
advantage
of
it
then
they're,
like
you
know,
you
may
have
probation
demands,
and
you
know
it's
just
because
this
guy
wants
me
to
do
something.
C
I
don't
want
to
do
it,
but
I'm
like
all
right,
well,
I
know
some
place.
I
can
help
you
get
in
there.
You
know.
So.
Typically,
we
start
off
with
what
they
want
to
do.
Not
what
I
want
them
to
do,
and
they
probably
wouldn't
be
in
some
of
the
scenarios
they're
in
if
what
they
knew
or
wanted
to
do
was
effective,
and
so
we
offer
you
know
meaningful
adult
relationship
with
someone
who
could
potentially
connect
you
to
whatever
it
is
that
you're
looking
for
get
back
in
school,
you
know
get
in.
C
They're,
not
you
know,
gonna
be
like
NASA
scientists,
but
stabilization
also
is
something
that
will
help
them
desist
from
violence
and
then
again
just
busy.
As
you
know,
president
Flynn
mentioned,
like
the
guys,
with
too
much
time
on
their
hands,
so
whatever
they
want
to
do,
there's
some
guys
they
start
off.
They're,
like
you
know,
I
just
want
to
stop
my
t-shirt.
Business
and
I.
C
C
So
we
try
and
you
know,
explore
opportunities
on
the
outskirts
of
the
city
simultaneously,
you're,
not
around
persons
that
you
previously
considered
opposition
and
you
are
more
likely
to
be
able
to
exhibit
a
bit
more
humility
and
take
a
job
outside
of
the
city
of
Boston
that
you
just
wouldn't
do
in
the
city
limits,
because
you
got
a
reputation
so
it
works
the
best
for
us.
A
Thank
you
for
that
and
we're
just
going
to
shift
briefly
into
10
20..
Please
just
remain
with
us,
because
we
have
public
testimony.
Obviously-
and
my
colleagues
may
have
additional
questions,
so
we
can
just
Dive
Right
into
10
20,
which
is
great
money
to
fund
enhancement
for
regional
capabilities,
to
detect
and
identify
report,
nuclear
and
other
radioactive
materials
out
of
regulatory
control,
Regional
training
and
exercise
to
enhance
Regional
capabilities,
also
administered
by
Boston
police
department.
So
I
see
Anthony
Rizzo.
Is
he
a
program
manager
from
Boston
securing
the
cities?
You
have
the
floor.
F
You,
sir
good
afternoon,
Mr
chair
good
afternoon
city
council,
president
Flynn
and
good
afternoon,
councilor
at
large
Murphy.
My
name
is
Tony
Rizzo,
as
the
chair
said,
I'm
the
program
manager
Force
carrying
the
city's
Boston
program,
which
is
why
I'm
here
before
you
today,
this
curing
the
city's
Boston
program
is
a
five-year
federally
funded
grant
program.
It's
from
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security,
countering
weapons
of
mass
destruction
office.
F
The
mission
of
the
program
is
to
prevent
these
successful
possession
movement
and
deployment
of
a
nuclear
or
radiological
weapon
and
component
materials
by
an
adversary
within
the
United
States.
The
goal
of
the
program
is
to
develop
and
enhance
a
sustainable,
radiological
and
nuclear
detection
capability
system
among
all
participating
Partners
in
the
region.
F
The
program's
currently
entering
its
third
year
on
July
21
2022,
the
third
Award
of
950
000,
was
granted
to
the
Boston
Police
Department
for
the
budget
period
of
one
August
2022
to
July
31
2023
that
950
thousand
dollars
in
continuation
funding
would
be
allotted
to
the
purchase
of
detection
equipment,
also
for
backfilling
overtime
for
all.
Personnel
who'd
receive
training
on
the
equipment.
F
It
would
also
include
an
item-
that's
known
as
a
rid
a
radio
isotope
identification
device
and
those
are
instruments
that
are
designed
to
identify
radioactive
materials
in
order
to
distinguish
between
non-threatening
materials
and
high-level
threats.
All
Personnel
who
utilize
the
equipment,
will
initially
receive
between
four
to
16
hours
of
training
in
order
to
establish
proficiency
with
devices
I'm
actually
coming
from
Municipal
police
training.
Commission
Linfield
Academy
right
now
where
currently
there
are
47
Boston
police
officers
receiving
training.
F
On
some
of
this,
this
equipment
10
EMTs
from
Boston,
EMS
and
11
members
of
the
Massachusetts
State
Police
bomb
squad.
We
will
have
additional
training
throughout
this
week
and
more
training
scheduled
in
December
memorandums
of
agreement
are
executed
before
any
equipment
or
funds
are
transferred
from
the
Boston
Police
Department
to
any
of
the
other
participating
Partners
again.
This
is
the
third
year
of
funding
that
the
city
of
Boston
has
received
for
the
program
and
we
would
anticipate
two
more
years
of
funding
for
the
program
to
really
get
stood
up
and
fully
function.
A
Thank
you
Anthony.
You
were
very
succinct
in
describing
the
securing
the
cities
program.
Obviously,
what
the
objectives
were,
what
the
funding
will
be
used
for
and
what
type
of
training
is
involved?
I
only
have
one
question:
I
see
that
BPD
has
people
participating.
Ems
has
people
participating
in
many
instances
in
Boston,
our
First
Responders
are
actually
our
firefighters,
Boston
fire
department.
More
often
than
not
is
sometimes,
if
not
regularly
the
first
group
to
respond.
F
Chair,
they
were
actually
one
of
the
first
partners
that
came
on
board
in
terms
of
all
the
partners
for
the
program.
The
Boston
Police
Department
is
the
lead
agency.
Other
City
agencies
include
OEM
Boston,
fire
and
EMS.
Outside
agencies
include
Massachusetts,
State,
Police,
environmental
police,
as
well
as
massport
and
Northeastern
Metropolitan
law
enforcement,
Council
Quincy
police
just
came
on.
We
have
some
additional
local
partners
that
we
expect
to
come
on
and
to
directly
answer
your
question.
F
Mr
chair,
Captain,
Ryan,
McGovern
and
some
other
firefighters
from
his
hazardous
materials
unit
will
be
participating
in
the
training
tomorrow,
Thursday
and
Friday.
The
training
that
they
will
be
receiving
is
on
some
of
the
more
specific
equipment
that
I
described
since
they
play
such
a
prominent
role.
As
you
just
described,
sir,
and.
A
I
find
it
very
timely,
obviously,
that
we
we've
got
I
think
somewhere
in
the
vicinity
of
north
of
three
13.5
million
demand
of
square
feet
in
Boston
to
to
support
the
demand
for
lab
I,
believe
that
we're
only
in
the
sort
of
the
five
to
six
million
square
feet
capacity.
So
we're
now
going
to
start
to
see
an
expansion
we're
seeing
Labs
coming
in
closer
to
the
neighborhoods,
we're
seeing
the
potential
for
either
Class,
B
or
maybe
even
potentially
Class
A
buildings
be
converted
to
accommodate
demand.
It's
a
good
news,
bad
news.
A
The
good
news
is:
we've
got
the
best
colleges
and
universities
in
the
world.
We've
got
the
best
hospitals,
a
network
of
Community
Health
centers,
the
Brain
Trust
is
here.
People
want
to
be
here:
CEOs
are
moving
their
companies
here
predominantly
in
the
life
science
lab
stem
field.
Frankly,
I
think
we
as
a
city.
We
need
to
have
a
special
division
of
the
Boston
fire
department
to
sort
of
start
to
oversee
and
regulate
portions
of
this.
But
the
fact
that
securing
the
cities
program
is
mindful
of
these
types
of
material.
A
These
types
of
chemicals
and
and
training
our
First
Responders,
which
is
very
important
so
as
that
debate
and
dialogue,
continues
to
roll
I
know.
The
bpda
is
now
trying
to
promulgate
sort
of
rules
and
regulations
around
Labs,
clearly
police
and
fire
and
EMS
need
to
be
doing
the
same.
So
I
appreciate
what
you're
offering
in
in
today's
hearing
chair
recognize
my
colleagues
at
this
point
council
president
Flynn.
E
Thank
you
Mr
chair
and
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
Anthony
for
providing
a
clear
explanation
of
what
this
money
will
be
used
for,
and
some
of
the
training
that
our
dedicated
and
professional
First
Responders
are
going
to
throw
it's
critical,
it's
critical
that
they
receive
this
training
that
they
have
the
experience
in
dealing
with
these
very
difficult
issues,
hazardous
materials
and
the
opportunity
to
serve
24
years
in
the
U.S
Navy
and
before
we
would
deploy
you
know,
I
have
the
opportunity
to
study
some
of
the
same
issues
that
you
have
focused
on
so
I
do
know
how
critical
it
is
for
a
Workforce
to
be
highly
trained
and
educated
on
hazardous
material
potential
disasters,
so
I
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
that
that
important
work,
I
guess
my
my
question.
E
Anthony
is
you
know,
unfortunately,
if
there
is
a
major
issue
in
some
type
of
radioactive
radioactive
material
does
is
released
into
the
air
into
the
into
the
environment?
E
What
is
the
communication
that
we
would
immediately
provide
residents
about
what
they
would
need
to
do?
How
would
we
communicate
with
them?
Do
we
have
a
plan
in
effect
and
would
that
and
would
that
plan
in
effect
include
reaching
our
hard-to-reach
residents,
such
as
seniors
or
person,
people
that
may
not
speak
English
in
some
of
those
types
of
logistic
issues.
F
Yes,
sir,
so
this
program
deals
solely
with
detection
and
interdiction,
sir,
and
what
the
individuals
who
do
the
training
on
the
classes
that
I've
described
before
they
call
it
the
left
of
the
boom.
F
We
certainly
want
to
make
sure
that
any
potential
nefarious
devices
are
detected
prior
to
they
are
deployed,
whether
it's
through
a
dispersal
device
or
an
exposure
device
or
something
of
of
that
nature,
which
is
why
we
focus
now
on
the
the
training
for
City
agencies,
but
expanding
throughout
the
state
and
then
eventually
expanding
to
New
Hampshire
Vermont
Maine,
so
that
that
device
that
is
on
a
ferry
coming
from
Hingham
or
a
plane
coming
from
Bangor
Maine,
is
detected
ahead
of
time.
So
the
resources
are
dedicated
solely
to
detection
and
interdiction.
F
We
have
not
focused
or
used
any
of
the
grant
funds
for
the
scenario
you're
describing
which
is
right
of
the
boom,
where
it's
now
talking
about
cleanup
of
hazardous
materials
or
how
to
deal
with
Fallout
or
anything
of
that
nature.
This
is
really
just
making
sure
that
the
state
and
local
have
these
devices
in
order
to
determine
there
is
a
source
I've
received
training
now
to
know
that
this
Source
could
very
well
have
a
reasonable
explanation
for
being
here.
F
It
could
be
medical,
it
could
be
industrial
or
in
the
event,
as
a
first
responder
I'm
adjudicating.
It
I
make
a
determination
that
that
source
may
not
have
a
reason
to
be
here.
It
will
be
elevated
to
one
of
the
Hazardous
Materials
units
or
further
elevated
from
that
to
the
FBI
and
the
department
of
energy.
E
Okay,
but
just
taking
that
one
step
further,
my
concern
is
if,
if
a
situation
did
arise,
where
that
did
take
place,
the
communication
strategy
would
be
critical,
I'm
sure
we
have
a
communication
plan,
in
effect
the
only
the
I
guess.
My
question
is:
are
we
confident
that
it's
a
good
plan
I'm
not
asking
what
the
plan
is,
but
are
we
confident
it
is
a
good
plan
and
we
continue
to
update
that
plan
depending
on
advanced
technology,
depending
on
infrastructure
improvements
and
in
the
demographics
of
our
neighborhoods
as
well.
F
We
continue
to
update
the
plan
based
upon
technology
improvements,
as
you
said,
sir,
as
well
as
training,
and
also
making
sure
that
some
of
the
various
local
agencies
that
have
not
had
a
prominent
role
in
this
Mission
area
are
now
receiving
that
training,
so
that
this
response
plan
is
not
just
something
that
would
be
Citywide.
It
would
obviously
have
major
implications
and
worst
case
scenario,
so
that
everybody
everybody
else
in
the
surrounding
area
if
we
bring
Cambridge
Police
on
as
a
participative
partner.
E
Thank
you
Anthony
and
thank
you
Mr
chair
any.
D
A
A
If
you
wish
to
offer
testimony,
please
do
so
over
there
and
for
those
watching
at
home,
I'd
like
to
let
them
know
they
can
provide
testimony
via
Zoom
or
provide
written
testimony
to
the
committee
that
will
be
made
part
of
the
public
record,
and
so
seeing
and
hearing
no
desire
for
folks
to
testify
in
this
docket
I
will
excuse
Anthony,
Rizzo
program
manager
for
Metro
Boston.
A
Securing
the
city's
program
via
the
Boston
Police
Department
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do
in
helping
keep
our
city
safe
and
look
forward
to
moving
forward
together
and
making
sure
that
we
have
as
many
people
as
possible,
particularly
at
First
Responders
trained
in
handling
these
types
of
situations.
Thank
you
thank
you,
chair
and
thank
you.
Members
of
the
council,
thank
you,
and
if
we
can
now
shift
back
to
docket
1019
anyone
here,
I
don't
have
a
do.
I
have
a
public
testimony.
A
If
anyone
here
is
wishing
to
offer
public
testimony
on
this
matter
may
do
so
by
either
signing
in
the
sheet
or
maybe
signaling.
By
way
of
your
hand,
if
anyone
wishes
to
offer
any
testimony
in
this
on
this
matter
and
any
questions
at
all,
we
have
a
great
panel
here.
It's
a
program
clearly
that
we
need
in
our
city
and
it's
a
significant
amount
of
funds
that
the
council
will
be
providing
this
program.
A
So
I'll
I'll,
just
touch
base,
maybe
on
on
on
sort
of
a
follow-up
that
we
had
talked
about,
is
sort
of
just
the
opportunity
to
build
trust
with
an
individual
and
who,
after
you
know
that,
whether
it's
someone
that's
been
in
the
community
or
someone
that's
serving
time
and
wrapping
up
their
time
sort
of
those
forces
sort
of
pulling
that
individual
back
to
that's
kind
of
the
world
that
they
know.
That's
where
their
support
system
is
that's
where
those
relationships
are
and
trying
to
break
that
cycle
and
offer
them.
A
Other
opportunities
for
them
to
change
the
trajectory
of
their
life
entails.
Obviously
you
know
meeting
new
people
having
new
experiences
Etc
in
many
instances
getting
away
from
the
environment
that
that
kind
of
got
them
in
in
the
position
that
they're
in
so
always
a
challenge,
I
assume
for
the
number
of
individuals,
clients
that
you
handle
so
and
maybe
to
Mark.
Obviously,
who's
been
reacting
who's
the
director.
What
if
any
role
does
clergy
play
in
this
as
well
as
Roy
had
indicated?
A
You
know
those
initial
meetings
trying
to
get
folks
on
board?
Is
there
a
role
that
you
play
or
is
there
a
role
that
crazy
plays
well.
G
My
role
directly
with
Mr
Martin
is
as
the
division
director,
not
in
my
role
as
a
member
of
the
clergy,
but
the
clergy
have
historically
played
a
role
of
support,
a
role
of
advocacy.
G
And
the
importance
of
programs
like
ssyi
and
the
importance
of
the
partnership
with
the
police
department
so
and
I
would
see
that,
as
as
continuing
and
as
being
very
very
important.
But
it's
it's
a
it's
a
support
role,
an
on-call
as
need,
Road
and
I.
Think
if
you
think
about
this
historically,
it's
always
been
people
who
are
closest
to
the
individuals
that
we're
trying
to
help
who
can
develop
that
trusting
relationship
which
may
or
may
not
be
a
member
of
the
clergy.
A
You
know
the
metrics
of
the
metrics
of
success.
Are
they
based
on
recidivism?
Is
it
employment
opportunities
not
involved
in
any
type
of
violence,
so
how
I
guess?
How
are
we
measuring
the
success
of
this
program
in
the
penetration
that
you're
having
with
respect
to
men
and
women,
that
I
guess,
as
has
been
classified
as
a
sort
of
I,
guess
an
at-risk
of
of
offending
or
have
a
proven
risk
of
being
involved
in
violence
too?.
C
And
if
you
don't
mind,
I
just
want
to
take
a
step
back
to
the
strategy
question
as
well.
The
BMA
has
also
been
a
part
of
our
review
team
for
rfps
that
are
put
out
into
the
community
for
cbo's
to
apply
to
be
a
part
of
the
strategy.
C
So
you
know
in
terms
of
the
mechanics
as
well
they're
part
of
that,
but
in
terms
of
success,
the
initial
success
was
just
getting
individuals
to
buy
in
and
enroll
so
enrollment
and
engagement
was
the
initial
success
and
then,
beyond
that,
what
we
were
looking
at
was
the
impact
on
engaging
a
specific
population
on
the
overall
part.
C
One
crime
numbers
in
the
city
of
Boston,
which
have
I
would
like
to
say,
is
where
our
five-year
average
is
probably
as
low
as
it's
been
in
my
lifetime,
and
the
10-year
trajectory
is
a
constant
sort
of
slope
down
so
that
we
would
look
at
as
a
success
and
then,
if
we
felt
like,
if
our
efforts
were
successful,
what
we
look
at
as
our
standard,
nothing
all
programs
of
this
nature.
What
you
look
at
is
neighborhoods
that
don't
have
ssy.
C
What
are,
what
are
the
outcomes
looking
like
and
then
neighborhoods
that
do
what
are
their
outcomes?
Looking
like
so
we're
a
Statewide
initiative,
there's
about
14
different
programs
who
are
all
seeing
the
same
results,
the
same
downward
slope
in
each
community
and
when
we
look
nationally
nationally,
there's
been
like
an
eruption
of
record-setting
violence
that
Boston
is
in
Massachusetts
is
not
have
him,
so
we
use
that
as
an
indicator
of
success
as
well.
Yeah.
C
Which
also
suggests
that,
for
every
dollar
we
spend,
we
save
seven
dollars
in
societal
costs
which
not
to
sum
up
the
entire
evaluation
that
way,
but
that
is
a
metric
that
a
lot
of
folks
are
are
interested
in.
Like
is
it
you
know:
saving
money
in
society
and
it's
been
independently
evaluated,
we're
also
office
of
Juvenile,
Justice
department,
program,
promise
and
practice
on
the
federal
level.
So
that
is
also
a
measurement
that
what
we're
doing
is
successful.
A
The
what
percentage
of
the
individuals
that
you
that
are
involved
in
this
program
don't
have
a
high
school
diploma.
C
I
would
say
the
percent
exceeds
about
it's
between
70
80
and
the
difference
between
those
who
do
and
those
who
don't.
Oddly
enough,
are
individuals
who
have
gone
through
dys.
So
most
individuals
who
do
achieve
a
credential
in
our
case
law
typically
got
it
from
dys,
a
very
small
percent.
A
tiny
percent
got
it
out
in
the
community
without
sort
of
being
in
a
custody
situation.
E
E
They
care
about
our
city
and
I
I
attend
so
many
neighborhood
community
meetings
every
night
and
at
these
Community
meetings,
the
first
person
that
usually
would
speak
is
the
captain
of
the
district
might
be
Captain,
Sweeney
or
or
Captain
Boyle
or
another
captain,
or
if
it's
not
the
captain,
it's
the
Community
Service
Officer
and
that
I
would
I
would
usually
fall,
follow
them
and
speak.
Second,
the
captain
would
give
a
rundown
on
on
crime.
Stats
in
the
neighborhood
in
the
residents
is
always
interesting.
E
The
residents
would
always
thank
the
police
for
being
there
to
thank
the
police
for
the
professional
job
they
would.
They
would
do
and
they
would
always
ask
you
know
Captain.
We
we
want
us
to
have
more
police
than
the
neighborhoods.
We
want
to
have
more
police
in
the
Parks,
more
police
in
the
playgrounds.
E
We
have
respect
for
the
police.
We
know
they
do
a
tremendous
job,
but
we
just
don't
have
enough
police
on
the
streets
and
and
I
I
bring
that
up,
because
we
are
desperately
low
in
terms
of
the
number
of
police
officers
we
have
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
it's
something
that's
also
part
of
this
strategy
as
well.
It's
it's
it's
important
to
acknowledge
and
that
we
need
to
consistently
hire,
in
my
opinion,
300
police
officers
every
year
consistently
for
the
next
10
years.
E
I
know
people
may
not
agree
with
me,
but
that's
based
on
my
experience
living
in
the
city
working
in
the
courts
serving
in
the
military.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
the
the
police
that
do
a
tremendous
job
of
working
working
with
the
residents
in
neighborhood
organizations,
as
well
and
in
in
in
in
the
elected
officials
working
with
elected
officials,
but
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
panel
for
the
important
work
you're
doing
across
the
city
of
Boston.
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
D
Thank
you
for
being
here
and
this
continuation
of
this
partnership.
It's
great
to
see
that
your
program,
ssyi,
is
doing
great
work
and
you're
working
closely
with
the
Boston
police,
so
just
keep
up
the
good
work
and
we're
here
to
support.
If
there's
anything,
you
need
we're
here
for
you.
Thank
