have
everybody

so
without
further
ado,
the
both
co-sponsors
councillor,
O'malley
and
councillor
Janey
are
here
so
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
councillor
O'malley.
At
this
time,
counselor
Thank.
B
You,
mr.
chairman
and
good
afternoon,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
thank
you
all
who
have
joined
us
this
afternoon.
I
want
to
begin
by
thanking
my
dear
colleague
and
friend,
district
7
city,
councilor,
Kim
Janey,
for
her
partnership
and
her
leadership
on
this
issue.
We'd
been
talking,
you
know
several
weeks
ago
about
challenges
that
are
unique
to
every
city
during
the
summer
as
the
temperature
gets
Rises.
B
So
to
do
certain
crime
statistics,
we
want
to
make
sure,
preemptively
and
proactively
that
we're
able
to
work
with
the
men
and
women
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
our
trauma,
centers
Boston
Center
for
youth
and
families,
all
the
relevant
stakeholders
and,
most
importantly,
hear
from
the
members
at
large
hear
from
the
public
about
some
of
their
concerns.
We've
already
seen
some
incidents
happen
and
May
4th.
There
was
a
double
homicide
within
district
at
the
Mildred
Haley
apartments.
B
There
were
two
victims:
Christopher
Joyce
and
Claver
and
Blair,
and
it's
obviously
devastating
and
incredibly
traumatic
to
the
community.
We're
going
to
hear
from
some
of
my
dear
friends
from
Mildred
Haley
a
little
bit
later.
As
recently
as
this
past
weekend,
there
was
a
quadruple
shooting
in
Roxbury
and
I
know.
Councillor
Janie
was
extraordinarily
helpful
in
the
aftermath,
but
we
know
that
while
we
are
a
relatively
safe
city,
obviously
one
crime,
one
major
crime
that
is
committed
is
going
to
have
profound
impacts.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
resources.
B
We
have
the
tools
and
we
have
the
plan
going
forward
now.
What
separates
us
from
many
other
cities?
I
truly
believe,
is
the
professionalism
and
the
effectiveness
of
the
Boston
Police
Department.
Our
trauma
teams
are
working
with
clergy
and
other
stakeholders,
as
well
as
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission
that
are
extraordinarily
well
prepared
and
incredibly
supportive.
I
do
think
we
you
all
need
more
resources
and
as
a
counselor,
as
someone
is
wearing
budget
season,
I
want
to
make
sure
go
in
the
weeks
ahead.
B
We're
able
to
get
you
what
you
need,
but
I
also
want
this.
The
purpose
of
this
hearing
is
to
have
a
conversation
hear
from
the
public
at
large
and
find
ways
that
we
can
work
better
and
work
stronger
together
going
forward.
So
once
again,
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
great
presentation,
we
have
a
couple
panels,
I
believe
and
then
public
testimony
is
going
to
be
key
as
well,
but
wanted
to
thank
all
of
you
and
the
men
and
women
who
work
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
who
do
your
part
and
do
it
exceptionally.
C
Thank
you
so
much
mr.
chair
and
I
certainly
want
to
thank
councilor
Matt
O'malley
for
your
partnership
on
this
important
issue.
Many
thanks
to
the
panel
and
all
of
those
who
have
taken
time
out
of
your
busy
day
to
come.
This
is
an
important
issue.
It's
a
timely
issue
that
we're
having
this
hearing
I
agree.
We
certainly
need
more
resources
to
deal
with
this
issue.
We
also
have
to
tackle
this
from
I.
Think
several
fronts
definitely
want
to
highlight
and
acknowledge
the
Commissioner,
the
chief
and
and
certainly
You
Reverend
Mark
Scott.
C
You
mentioned
the
quad
shooting
that
we
saw
Friday
night
early
Saturday
morning,
which
happened
on
my
street,
and
that
is
very
traumatizing,
certainly
for
me,
and
certainly
for
my
neighbors
I
appreciate
the
quick
response
from
you
and
people
of
your
team.
You
know
after
I
called
the
police
through
911.
You
know
reached
out
to
you
directly.
You
were
on
the
scene,
I
stayed
out
there
to
about
2:00
a.m.
C
and
the
detectives
were
still
out
there
after
I
went
inside
and
then
the
next
day
had
the
the
opportunity
to
join
Reverend,
Mark
Scott
and
the
trauma
team
and
Street
workers
reaching
out
to
my
neighbors
with
some
resources
and
support.
We
I'm
concerned
that
this
is
an
uptick
that
we're
seeing
and
so
I
think
it's
important
that
we
are
proactive
and
that
we're
having
this
conversation
but
more
important
that
we
follow
up
the
conversation
with
concrete
action.
So
thank
you
again
for
your
work
on
this
issue.
C
D
You
counsel,
O'malley
and
thank
you
for
your
work
and
council
McCarthy
and
councillor
Janie
as
well,
I'm
glad
to
sign
on
to
this
important
order.
I'm,
looking
forward
to
hearing
from
the
professionals
I've
as
a
probation
officer
for
the
last
ten
years,
a
the
opportunity
to
work
almost
every
day
with
the
Boston
Police
and
I've,
seen
up
close
the
dedicated
professional
men
and
women
on
the
Boston
Police
they
work
hard.
D
You
know
our
outreach.
Is
there
an
opportunity
to
get
more
resources
on
the
street?
Is
there
an
opportunity
to
hire
more
police?
Is
there
an
opportunity
to
hire
more
street
workers?
I
have
great
confidence
in
the
street
workers.
They
know
our
city.
They
know
our
young
people
I,
think
that
should
be
a
big
priorities.
Getting
more
Street
workers
on
on
the
streets,
giving
them
in
opportunity
to
continue
working
hard
I'm
having
a
presence
in
public
housing
and
I
think
it
goes
a
long
way.
D
A
E
Clearly
last
week
weekend
was
a
busy
weekend.
I
think
we
had
seven
people
shot.
Obviously,
council,
you
know
obviously
I'm
sorry
what
happened
on
your
street.
You
know
for
young
kids
getting
shot
on
our
street.
Is
it's
not
something
I
like
to
be
woken
up
to,
as
well
as
I'm
sure
you?
You
were
quickly
texting
me
when
you
heard
the
shots,
so
you
know
that's
the
type
of
stuff
we
got
to
all
work
together,
so
it's
not
happening
on
our
streets
during
the
summer.
E
So
at
least
you
know
I
hope,
making
that
arrest
will
help
calm
things
down
and
we're
working
on
some
strategies
in
and
around
your
neighborhood
right
now,
and
hopefully
that
will
help
so,
but
to
start
out,
I
have
Jenn
Gillis
here
who's
just
going
to
give
you
a
snapshot
of
how
summers
have
impacted
the
violence
and
and
give
you
an
idea
of
how
it's
been
from
the
beginning
of
this
year
to
now
and
how
we're
going
to
need
everybody's
help
to
make
this
city
and
there's
at
this
summer
a
safe
one.
So
Jen.
F
Other
part,
one
crime
categories
over
the
summer
last
year
actually
decreased,
but
overall
we
averaged
about
a
thousand
to
1,500
part
one
violent
crimes
over
the
summer
months,
looking
at
shooting
victims
again,
these
are
for
those
same
three
month
periods
going
back
to
2007.
So
almost
a
10-year
look-back
you
can
see
over
the
summer
we
average
95
victims
for
that
three-month
period.
That
averages
out
to
about
one
victim
a
day
when
you're.
Looking
at
those
three
months
last
year
we
were
under
that
average
with
89
victims.
F
For
the
summer
months,
you
can
see
going
back
to
2007
2008
2011.
We
were
over
that
threshold.
The
last
couple
years
have
kind
of
fluctuated
between
84
up
to
95
victims.
So
that's
kind
of
the
baseline
that
we've
seen
in
the
city
in
past
years,
when
you
compare
fatal
shootings
versus
non-fatal
shootings,
we've
pretty
much
averaged
between
10
and
15
fatal
shooting
victims
for
those
summer
months
last
year.
F
That
was
a
bigger
percentage
of
our
shooting
victims,
the
three
previous
years
we
had
ten
each
summer
and
you
can
look
back
to
2011
a
very
active
summer,
24
fatal
shooting
victims
for
the
three-month
period.
So
those
are
kind
of
the
numbers
we've
seen
in
the
past
again,
and
a
lot
of
this
is
dependent
on
which
feuds
and
groups
are
active
at
the
time
and
kind
of
what
the
dynamic
is.
F
You
know
some
of
the
more
active
neighborhoods
as
far
as
non-fatal
shootings
just
last
year,
compared
to
the
previous
year,
we
were
up
9%
in
fatal
shootings
and
50%
in
non-fatal
or
50%
in
fatal
and
sorry
and
9%
non-fatal
shootings,
so
not
big
number
changes
they're
only
five
and
six
and
cents
respectively,
11
overall,
so
pretty
pretty
stable
numbers
that
we've
seen
in
past
years.
When
you
look
at
when
the
crime
is
happening,
most
of
it
occurs
during
the
first
half
shift,
which
is
the
4
to
11
p.m.
shift.
F
The
majority
of
the
activity
when
you're.
Looking
at
days
of
week,
Sunday
nights
and
Monday
nights
we're
actually
very
active
last
summer.
A
lot
of
the
activity
is
after
bars
and
clubs
and
around
late
night
party
activity.
So
in
those
early
morning
hours
between
10
p.m.
to
2
a.m.
the
next
morning
on
the
weekends
but
more
towards
the
end
of
the
weekend.
Sundays
Mondays
tend
to
be
more
active
holiday.
Weekends
are
also
a
concern.
In
the
past.
We
have
had
significant
activity
around
4th
of
July
holiday
weekend
last
year.
F
In
particular,
we
had
15
people
shot
in
ten
incidents
during
the
fourth
of
July
weekend.
That's
Friday
through
Monday,
which
is
one
of
the
most
active
years
that
we've
had
other
holidays.
Memorial
Day
and
a
Caribbean
Fest
weekend
tend
to
be
active
weekends,
though
last
year,
and
in
recent
years
they
haven't
been
as
active.
Looking
back
to
2011
to
2010
those
were
kind
of
our
more
active
time
frames
surrounding
those
holidays
and
again
a
lot
of
that
violence.
F
A
lot
of
the
weekends
with
large
victim
counts
are
usually
parties,
people
in
close
groups
and
that's
when
we
get
the
multiple
victims,
shootings
and
those
high
counts
for
weekend
violence.
So
that's
kind
of
what
we've
seen
in
the
past
there
as
far
as
where
the
violence
is
happening.
These
are
the
hot
spots
for
last
summer.
F
I
know
this
is
kind
of
hard
to
see,
but
you
know
pretty
much,
starting
in
the
south
end
around
Lenox
hitting
a
couple
neighborhoods
in
Roxbury,
Bromley,
Heath
area
and
JP
down
into
a
Dorchester
boat
in
Geneva
in
kind
of
Pumas
corner
area,
and
then
a
few
areas
down
into
a
lower
Dorchester
in
Mattapan
franklin
field
included,
so
that's
kind
of
where
the
violence
was
last
summer.
F
A
lot
of
these
are
historical
hotspots
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
a
very
long
time,
but
all
kind
of
have
active
groups
and
dynamics
going
on
in
those
neighborhoods
as
well
as
far
as
where
we
are
this
year,
we're
down
16,
shooting
victims
and
down
15
shooting
incidents
compared
to
the
same
time
frame.
Last
year
we
are
up
in
here.
F
We
are
up
in
shooting
homicides
slightly,
but
all
other
categories
are
down
right
now,
our
five-year
average,
so
the
average
number
of
shooting
victims
at
this
point
in
the
year
going
back
five
years
is
86,
so
we're
slightly
below
that
as
well
and
kind
of
looking
at
month-over-month
trends
we're
at
13
victims.
So
far
in
June
of
this
year.
F
An
interesting
note
about
this
year
is
we
had
a
very
active
December,
which
is
not
characteristic,
usually
winter
months
or
a
lot
quieter,
and
then
activity
kind
of
dropped
off
and
we're
just
seeing
starting
to
see
that
pick
up
again
in
the
last
couple
weeks.
So
not
every
year
looks
the
same.
Usually,
we
see
June
July
August
with
the
large
spikes,
but
this
year
has
been
a
little
bit
more
consistent
across
the
board
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
the
commissioner.
E
Thanks
Jen
and
you
can
see
by
these
numbers,
you
know.
Obviously
we
really
do
deploy
up
for
the
summer.
You
know
in
by
the
locations,
that's
where
we
put
most
of
our
resources.
So
when
you
look
at
those
hotspots-
and
we
had
a
crime
meeting
this
morning,
where
all
command
staff
in
all
our
captains
we
focused
on-
and
we
do
this
every
Wednesday-
and
we
do
it
every
two
weeks
on
where
our
resources
have
to
be
so,
you
know
Jen
Gillis
in
the
the
regional
intelligence,
that's
what
they
do.
They.
E
They
supplies
this
information
and
that's
how
we
deploy
to
stop
the
violence,
and
you
know
what
you
clearly
see.
There
is
the
summer
we
pick
up.
You
know
when
the
man
hat
is
meeting
a
month
ago,
I
laid
out
a
lot
of
our
plans
and
a
lot
has
to
do
with
the
partnerships,
both
working
with
the
trauma
team
here,
as
well
as
our
community
partners.
You
know
over
the
last
couple
weeks
you
know
I
met
with
Josh
Kraft
and
all
the
directors
of
all
the
Boys
and
Girls
Clubs.
E
You
know
working
with
them
in
our
offices
to
get
these
kids
into
camps
and
get
them
into
programs
in
the
summer
and
keep
them
busy.
I
met
with
our
James
Morton
from
the
YMCA
similar.
You
know
they
offer
free
camps
to
Evie,
Evie,
I'm,
sorry,
free
memberships
to
every
kid
in
the
city.
Also,
all
some
they
have
a
lot
of
great
summer
camps
that
we're
trying
to
get
local
kids,
who
really
need
them
yeah,
especially
around
the
developments
into
those
camps.
So
we
work
closely
with
them.
E
Obviously
you
know
we
do
the
team
police
academies,
we
do
the
junior
police
academies,
we
do
quite
a
bit
to
try
to
keep
the
kids
busy
and
keep
them
focused
on
positive
things,
to
keep
them
away
from
the
guns.
You
know
year
to
date
we're
close
to
almost
getting
300
guns
off
the
street
and
you
know
and
I've
always
said,
there's
way
too
many
guns
on
the
street.
That's
what
keeps
me
awake.
E
I
know
the
mayor
is
very
concerned
about
it,
but
you
know
just
this
morning
we
did
a
search
warrant
on
Rosamund
Street
the
drug
unit,
and
they
got
you
know
two
guns,
both
of
them
in
a
position
inside
laundry.
So
thank
God
when
our
officers
found
them.
They
didn't
go
off
well
barricaded
home
and
we
got
an
ar-15
as
well
as
two
handguns
out
of
that
house.
Smart
and
so
that's
all
you
know.
The
good
thing
is
the
neighbors
afterwards
were
all
coming
up.
Thanking
us
for
what
we
did
down
there.
E
You
know
we
also
got
a
gun
on
a
drug
raid.
Early
this
morning
we
got
one
on
Columbia
Road
yesterday,
one
on
Washington
Street,
two
of
the
day
before
so
within
a
couple
of
days.
There's
seven
guns
off
Street,
so
you
know
we're
trying
our
best
to
get
the
guns
off
the
street,
but
the
bigger
issue,
I
think,
is
how
they
get
in
the
mid
night.
You
know
we
talked
about
how
you
know.
20%
of
the
guns
we
get
are
from
New,
Hampshire
and
Maine,
and
a
lot
of
them
are
from
the
I-95
cells
clavata.
E
But
as
quick
as
we
take
these
guns
off
the
street
they're
in
the
hands
of
these
young,
kids
and
I,
think
you
seen
on
Copeland
Street
on
you
know
at
the
Burger
King
up
on
Cummings
Highway
alder
Street.
Last
weekend
we
had
seven
people
shot
and
it's
not
from
a
lack
of
F
and
on
us
trying
to
get
the
guns.
It
just
seems
to
be
in
a
large
supply
continually
flowing
into
our
streets
and
younger
and
younger
kids-
and
you
know
I
know
Anthony
Braga
he's
going.
E
You
know
he
studies
this
stuff
and
one
of
the
things
he's
finding
and
he
works
with
not
Easton
is
you
know,
we're
down,
17
shots.
You
know
shootings
this
year,
but
the
caliber
against
that
these
kids
have
are
more
powerful
and
they're
doing
a
lot
more
damage,
and
that's
why
we
have
a
lot
more
deaths
this
year.
You
know
the
old
20
to
25
has
been
replaced
by
the
three
80s.
E
You
know
in
the
40
calibers
and
some
of
the
mission
so
we're
having
more
dense
because
the
guns
are
more
powerful,
but
you
know
we're
trying
our
best
out
there
to
get
these
guns,
and
you
know
on
the
screen.
You
can
see
all
the
program
we
do
from.
You
know
you
know
yeah.
Some
people
think
it's
silly,
but
the
ice
cream
truck
being
out
there
with
the
community.
We
do
the
flashlight
walks
copy
with
a
cop,
this
Sunday,
if
anyone's
around,
we
have
a
Father's,
Day
Walk
for
peach.
That's
we
started
that
8
a.m.
E
at
Franklin
PI.
You
know
the
peace
walks.
You
know
we
had
a
bunch
of
Cape
Verde
offices
in
they
just
left
my
office.
Now
they
were,
they
are
walking
with
us
last
night
with
Tuesday
night
at
boat
in
Geneva
or
out
they
are
trying
to
walk
with
the
community.
You
know
we
have
30
new
bikes
that
are
ready
to
be
deployed
in
all
the
district
stations.
So
we
have
the
bike
unit,
but
we
with
we're
gonna,
have
three
additional
bikes
in
every
station
to
put
out
which
will
be
helpful.
E
E
We
need
everyone
in
this
city
to
step
up
and
help
us,
because
obviously
these
kids
again
guns
younger
and
younger,
and
you
know
we
see
them
using
them,
and
so
you
know
I,
don't
know
how
we
are
the
only
solution
on
that
yeah
I'm
glad
to
see
a
lot
of
community
members
here,
because
this
is
this
is
a
comprehensive.
It
has
to
be
a
comprehensive
approach,
because
you
know
we're
trying
our
hardest
believe
me,
but
we're
facing
the
warm
summer
months
where
traditionally,
violence
has
gone
up
in
our
city,
and
you
know
that's
that.
E
That's
the
challenge
where
we
have
done
a
lot
better
I
think
in
you
know,
Mari
Martinez
and
in
Reverend
Scott.
To
talk
to
is
dealing
with
the
trauma
after
these
events,
because
I
think
we've
always
neglected
the
trauma
and
what
it
does
to
our
communities
and
I.
Think
mayor
Walsh
has
done
a
good
job
bringing
on
these
trauma
teams,
because
when
I'm
out
there
I
see
the
mothers
I
see
the
young,
kids
and
I
realized
that's
going
to
have
a
lasting
impact
on
them.
E
I
know:
councilor
Chaney
was
out
there
the
other
night
there's
a
lot
of
community
members
who
have
to
witness
that
and
live
with
it.
So
I
think
the
trauma
piece
has
been
a
real
important
addition
to
what
we
do,
because
there's
lasting
impact
from
the
violence.
So
with
that
I'll
end
and
see
if
these
questions
are,
we
can
put
it
to
the
trauma
teams.
A
G
G
I'm
only
gonna
speak
briefly
from
a
health
and
human
services
perspective
and
then
have
colleagues
here
from
the
both
Mark
Scott
from
the
neighborhood
trauma
teams
managing
from
the
Health
Commission
and
then
Commissioner
Morales
from
BC
YF,
all
of
which
are
important
part
of
sort
of
our
summer
strategy.
You
know
when
you
think
about
violence
prevention,
where
the
city,
as
we
think
about
public
safety
and
we
think
about
sort
of
intervening
and
dealing
with
some
of
the
issues
on
that
side.
We're
also
always
focused-
and
you
can
hear
this
from
mr.
G
As
always,
we
think
a
big
part
of
our
prevention
is
our
summer
jobs
program
again
we're
employing
3,000
over
3,000
young
people
through
the
city,
11,000
total
with
our
private
sector.
Important
to
remember.
The
division
of
youth,
employment
and
engagement
is
also
employing
young
people
in
a
variety
of
organizations
that
are
in
our
community
centers
that
are
in
Dorchester,
Roxbury
Mattapan,
all
across
the
city,
making
sure
young
people
not
only
have
jobs
and
have
an
opportunity,
but
also
have
some
meaningful
opportunities.
G
So
we're
talking
about
connecting
them
to
mentors
and
partnership
with
some
of
our
mentoring
programs,
we're
talking
about
connecting
them
to
learn
and
earn
college
credit
programs
through
Bunker
Hill,
Community
College.
Some
financial
literacy
support
through
John
Hancock,
making
sure
that
a
job
in
itself
isn't
isn't
just
it,
but
that
it's
connected
to
other
meaningful
opportunities.
So
the
summer
jobs
program,
as
you
all
know,
the
Mayo
summer
jobs
program
committed
to
ensuring
that
only
are
we
engaging
young
people,
but
also,
once
again
this
year.
G
Engaging
young
people
who
may
have
other
needs
who
may
be
classified
as
higher
risk,
giving
them
additional
resources
connecting
them
to
wraparound,
supports
and
services,
and
it's
not
just
enough
to
give
a
young
person
a
job
for
the
summer.
But
how
do
you
connect
them
to
additional
resources
and
opportunities?
And
so
the
summer
jobs
program
has
really
focused
to
try
to
do
that
this
year
and
a
part
of
that
dy
II
effort?
G
In
addition,
what
we've
tried
to
do
is
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
the
data-
and
so
you
saw
the
data
that
Jen
shared
from
the
brick-
and
this
is
the
second
time
from
the
the
main
meeting
where
we've
seen
this
data.
So
what
Health
and
Human
Services
did
and
I
think
it's
important
moving
from
data
to
action.
What
we
did
in
the
past
couple
weaks
is
bring
together:
BC
YF,
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
the
Y
and
a
few
community
centers
in
in
six
of
the
hotspot
neighborhoods.
G
So
we
looked
in
Dudley
Lennox,
Street
up
his
corner,
Fields
corner
Grove,
Hall
and
heat
Street,
and
we
said
okay,
what
does
BC
YF
doing
in
those
neighborhoods?
What's
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
was
Tom?
What's
the
y,
what
are
these
community-based
groups
doing
really
focused
on
prevention?
Wasn't
focused
on
policing
or
Public
Safety.
It
was
really
who's
running
programming
for
teens
and
young
adults,
and
so
we
brought
together.
These
organizations
asked
them
to
tell
us
where
what
they're
doing
what
the
gaps
are,
that
they
see
in
the
neighborhoods.
G
The
data
from
the
police
department
in
terms
of
despite
these
hotspot
areas
and
then
now
we're
gonna,
make
some
some
investments.
We're
gonna
come
up
with
some
dollars
through
summer
fund
to
be
able
to
do
some
of
the
things
we
identified
as
gaps.
So
some
of
the
prevention
programming
can
exist
and
is
there.
In
addition,
as
you
all
know,
the
mayor
has
committed
summer
grants
one
again
this
year
for
$200,000
of
funding
from
through
BC
YF
is
going
to
over
80
different
organizations
and
every
neighborhood
in
the
city.
G
These
organizations
that
were
there
charged
with
enhancing
or
growing
their
programming
to
better
serve
young
people
with
an
emphasis
and
young
adults
and
teens
thinking
about
trauma.
Thinking
about
how
do
you
ensure
the
diversity
of
the
neighborhoods
are
met
this
year?
For
the
first
time
we
created
a
new
category
called
transformational
grants
which
were
bigger
amounts.
G
They
were
$12,000
just
for
the
summer,
so
that
programs,
Hawthorne
Youth
Center
in
Roxbury
and
the
Boston
project
ministries
in
Dorchester
got
these
grants
and
they
were
meant
to
better
reach
harder
to
serve
population
with
more
dollars,
not
smaller
dollars.
But
what
does
it
look
like
over
the
summer
to
create
these
resources
and
opportunities,
and
so
again
from
a
Health
and
Human
Services
place?
G
We
have
to
work
collaboratively
with
Public
Safety,
but
we
also
have
to
figure
out
how
do
we
create
prevention
programs
on
the
ground
that
are
not
only
impactful,
but
that
we
can
measure
results
and
impact?
And
so
that's
really
the
lane
that
we
are
that
we're
in
and
healthy
human
services.
But
it's
clear
as
part
of
this
work,
the
work
that
the
trauma
teams
do
to
kind
of
deal
with
the
aftermath
is
critically
important
and
to
prevent
other
violence,
but
also
the
work
that
BC
wife
is
doing
across
the
city
in
our
36
facilities.
H
Thank
You
chief
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Mark
Scott
I
am
the
director
of
trauma,
response
and
recovery
at
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission,
Thank,
You,
chairman
McCarthy,
and
also
thank
you
to
councillors,
Janey
and
O'malley
for
filing
the
order
and
having
us
here
today.
In
my
role,
I
managed
the
neighborhood
trauma
teams
our
ntt
to
help
coordinate
services
for
individuals,
families,
friends,
communities
impacted
by
community
violence.
The
work
also
focuses
on
the
critical
aspects
of
recovery.
H
Boston
is
actually
fortunate
to
have
a
tremendous
group
of
partners
that
are
committed
to
preventing
and
addressing
the
root
causes
of
violence
to
Republic
Health
approach,
especially
those
who
are
seated
here
with
me
table.
Additionally,
our
healthcare
community
understands
the
need
to
provide
strong
trauma,
support
and
services
to
victims.
Our
schools
understand
the
value
of
teaching
children
skills
to
foster
social
emotional
wellness
community-based
organizations
understand
how
they
contribute
to
building
trust
and
cohesion
in
our
neighborhoods.
H
Most
importantly,
our
residents
are
eager
to
engage
in
every
aspect
of
building
peace
in
the
city
of
Boston,
based
on
information
gathered
from
14
community
sessions
in
the
summer
of
2016.
The
Health
Commission
designed
a
program
to
support
a
network
of
citywide
and
neighborhood
based
trauma
response
and
recovery
services.
That's
the
program.
We
call
the
Boston
neighborhood
trauma
team
network,
the
trauma
teams
link
community
health
centers
with
community-based
organizations
and
Roxbury
Dorchester
Matapan
Jamaica
Plain
in
East
Boston
to
provide
comprehensive
trauma,
support
services
to
residents
impacted
by
community
violence.
H
There
is
the
Boston
trauma
response,
team,
jri
or
justice
Resource
Institute,
that
is
a
citywide
team
that
is
mobile,
that
provides
Crisis,
Response
services,
short
term
case
management
and
provides
additional
support
to
the
neighborhood
trauma
teams
as
needed.
It's
the
jri
team
Boston
trauma
response
that
staffs
to
24/7
365
hotline,
but
is
available
for
residents,
call
when
they're
impacted
by
community
violence.
So
this
network
of
community
organizations
work
together
to
provide
a
continuum
of
services
into
the
individuals,
their
immediate
family
and
friends.
H
Those
impacted
by
violence
is
what
its
outreach
community
support,
referral,
services
and
education
to
the
broader
community.
One
of
the
tools
we
use
for
education
is
a
brochure
that
we
work
to
make
is
available
across
the
city
as
possible.
I
really
urge
people
to
actually
read
it
because
there's
information
in
it
that
will
help
people
understand
what
trauma
is,
how
it's
impacting
their
ability
to
go
forward
with
their
life
and
what
they
can
do
about
it
and
then
who
to
call
for
help.
H
So
it's
a
useful
tool
as
well
as
behavioral
health
services
and
related
support
services
that
allow
people
to
move
into
long-term,
ongoing
support.
So
again,
the
services
that
we're
providing
our
access
to
the
24/7
hotline,
immediate
crisis
response,
referral
to
ongoing
behavioral
health
services
for
individuals
and
families
and
even
ongoing
long-term
support
trauma,
support
doing
a
scene,
a
vigil,
a
funeral
as
families
requested
support
for
neighborhood
outreach
in
education,
trauma,
education
and
supportive
community
meetings,
Neighborhood
Association
meetings
and
then
coping
groups
in
healing
groups.
Thanks
to
marijuana's
FY
19
budget.
H
The
Boston
Public
Commission
has
additional
resources
to
be
able
to
expand
the
network
to
add
an
additional
team,
so
we'll
go
from
five
teams
to
six
teams
as
well,
where
the
going
to
have
a
cohort
that
will
be
managed
by
the
jri
Boston
trauma
response
team,
a
cohort
of
20
people,
20
on-call
trauma
responders,
and
this
will
increase
our
ability
to
respond
to
shooting
scenes
and
homicides
as
they
occur
throughout
the
summer
and
going
forward
the
team.
This
cohort
will
begin
training
on
Monday
June
18th.
H
The
trauma
Network,
then
also
has
to
partner
with
the
largest
system
of
services
in
the
city
of
Boston,
so
that
would
include
other
programs
in
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission.
That
very
much
includes
the
Lewis
D
Brown
Peace
Institute.
Certainly
the
police,
bcy
F,
the
Street
workers,
Boston
Medical
Center,
the
other
hospitals
that
are
in
the
city,
but
it
is
those
that
seemed
trauma,
patients
and
in
other
community-based
organizations.
So
it's
the
network
that
allows
us
to
be
able
to
reach
and
serve
the
community.
H
This
will
be
our
second
summer
working
together
as
a
network,
so
we
will
continue
to
build
our
lessons
learn.
We
will
continue
to
work
to
increase
awareness
in
the
community,
about
the
network
and
how
to
access
the
services,
the
health
centers
community-based
organizations,
the
other
partners
that
lead
this
work
are
trusted
anchors
in
their
communities
and
we
hope
to
build
on
their
expertise
as
we
continue
to
learn
and
grow.
So
let
me
again
thank
you
for
convening
this
conversation
and
the
work
that
we'll
be
able
to
do
together
going
forward.
I
You,
counselors
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today
to
speak
about
the
important
work
that
we
do
at
Boston,
centers
for
youth
and
families.
Keeping
our
young
people
safe
and
engage
and
healthy
in
fun.
Activities
during
the
summer
is
a
major
priority
for
the
mayor
for
Health
and
Health
and
Human
Services
NBC
YF.
I
We
operate
a
network
of
both
at
30,
community
centers,
18,
poles
and
one
beach
and
summer
is
our
busiest
season
with
an
average
of
2,300
youth
enrolled
in
programs
each
day
and
a
couple
of
thousand
more
and
daily
drop-in
programs
and
activities.
One
over
the
summer
statistics
that
I
shared
with
you
last
month
during
the
budget
hearing
was
that
we
served
about
50-100
young
people
last
year
and
301
programs
and
meaning
that
we
had
direct
contact
with
them
over
87,000
times
last
summer.
I
Clearly
we
are
serving
a
lot
of
youth,
but
there's
always
a
need
to
serve
more
youth,
but
the
strong
emphasis
on
prevention,
but,
most
importantly
on
building
relationships
with
them.
I
am
proud,
and
that
and
very
out
of
the
fact
that
we
offer
these
programs
that
very
low
or
no-cost
options
for
families
and
for
you,
since
our
summer
guy
program
came
out
in
March.
We
have
worked
hard
to
make
sure
that
the
people
who
are
who
are
in
need
of
these
services
are
really
directly
connected
and
engaged.
I
So
we've
been
actually
intentionally
making
connections
with
other
groups
to
ensure
that
if
families
are
not
aware
about
what
we
offer
to
make
sure
that
they
know
and
that
they
can
come
through
our
doors,
and
we
do
this
to
make
sure
that
if
any
family
that
came
through
our
doors,
if
there
was
an
issue
of
cost,
that
cost
would
not
be
the
printing
factor
from
having
them
participate
in
our
program
and
so
I've
brought
copies
of
our
summer
guides.
For
you
to
have
and
share,
especially
as
you
do
your
rounds
in
your
in
your
districts.
I
Some
of
the
examples
of
some
of
the
programs
that
we
run
at
BC
YF
are
licensed
day
camp
programs
that
we
do
in
partnership
with
volunteer
councils
using
our
sort
of
aces
framework
model
using
the
arts,
community,
civic
engagement,
leadership
and
education
and
sports.
We
served
over
3,000
youths
in
our
camp
programs,
meaning
that
we
had
a
host
about
40
camps
that
were
all
operable
throughout
their
summer
months.
I
The
more
lately
and
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
we've
had
a
special
emphasis
to
make
sure
that
we
include
homeless
youth,
who
sometimes
don't
get
the
access
to
these
services,
and
we
have
to
thank
partnerships
with
The
Associated
grant
makers
who
continue
to
provide
some
scholarship
dollars
to
serve
this
population,
but
also
to
connect
us
with
the
organizations
that
are
serving
the
youth
families
to
make
sure
that
they
realize
that
we
have
these
act,
that
these
programs
available
to
them.
We
also
have
the
Boston
summer.
I
Fun
stops
BCF
summers,
fun
stops
a
design
for
youth
between
ages,
a
14
who
are
not
actively
involved
actively
involved
in
it
or
enrolled
in
a
traditional
summer
camp
program.
The
program
is
structured
for
youth
who
are
sort
of
in
the
kind
of
lost
loop
world
in
a
way,
meaning
that
the
parents
can't
afford.
Sometimes
the
cost,
or
sometimes
they
just
don't
need
to
care
for
the
full
day.
They
just
need
a
place
for
the
kids
to
kind
of
stop
and
be
a
part
of
it.
I
All
of
these
programs
take
place
in
our
community
centers
outside
adjacent
parts
or
fields.
Bcy
farmers,
some
stops
operate
Monday
through
Friday,
on
a
first-come,
first-served
basis
and
at
each
of
our
sites
we
serve
about
50
up
to
50
young
individuals.
One
of
the
things
that
we
learned,
especially
as
we
were
doing
robin's
around
the
summer
Gramps,
is
that
we
continue
to
hear
this
particular
theme
about
the
girls.
I
Sometimes,
when
we
think
about
violence,
we
just
focus
on
the
males,
but
sometimes
we
forget
that
there
are
young
women,
sometimes
we'll
get
caught
up
in
that
world
on
not
intentionally.
Sometimes
it's
just
that
you
know
boy,
crazy
or
whatever
the
situation
may
be,
they
get
caught
up
in
something
they
might
not
be
right
for
them,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
is
our
bcy
of
girl
nights
that
happened
during
the
July
and
August
months.
Bcu.
I
Our
girl
initiatives
will
offer
free
events
throughout
the
city
of
Boston
to
to
multiple
girls
and
then,
on
top
of
it.
We
have
a
bit
of
bcy
of
girls.
Leadership
core
that
engages
girls
between
the
ages
of
13
and
15,
has
peer
leaders
to
develop
the
support,
gender,
specific
programming,
lead
community
service
project
and
engage
their
peers
and
school-aged
girls
and
workshops
activities
that
address
the
issues
that
facing
that
that
young
women
face
in
our
in
our
in
our
city.
I
On
top
of
that,
we
have
the
BC
YF
snapshot
program,
which
is
a
photography
program
for
some
older
kids
between
the
ages
of
16
to
18.
To
you
know,
we
realized
that
young
people
have
a
sort
of
a
desire
to
actually
look
at
the
media
arts
and
photography
is
one
way
great
way
for
time
for
them
to
kind
of
connect
to
that.
I
And
so
we
have
we
actually
utilize
these
young
people
to
be
staff
photographers
and
many
of
our
BC
YF
activities
or
events
block
parties
and
then
hopefully,
if
there's
any
other
city
events,
they
tend
to
go
out
and
kind
of
practice.
The
craft
that
they're
developing
during
the
summer
months
BC
while
also
has
the
super
teens
program,
which
is
a
pre-employment
programme.
It's
catered
for
youth
between
the
ages
of
13
and
14.
I
A
job
focus
on
the
triple-a
kind
of
methodology,
meaning
that
attire
attendance
and
attitude
mean
a
whole
lot
when
you're
actually
looking
for
work,
and
so
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
work,
connect
with
young
people
at
a
different
age
and
hopefully
create
the
pipeline
to
get
them
connected
to
sucess
link
later
in
the
future.
And
lastly,
I
want
to
mention
our
stream
worker
program.
The
BC
wife,
Street
worker
program
has
been
in
existence
for
over
30
years,
it
was
developed
to
assess
in
redirecting
the
lives
of
Boston's
most
vulnerable
population.
I
The
program
works
with
the
most
active
45
groups
in
the
city
of
Boston,
with
an
average
caseload
of
745,
proven
high
risk
kings
and
young
adults,
and
many
of
these
youth.
Our
core
system
evolved
and
are
impacted
daily
by
a
cadre
of
various
life
issues
and
hopefully
through
the
relationship
building
that
we
have
they're
part
of
what
we
try
to
do
is
hopefully
move
them
along
the
continuum
into
a
very
more
healthy
lifestyle,
and
so
that's
it.
For
us
in
regards
to
prevention,
I
mean
the
chief
did.
I
A
J
Hello
counselor
first
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
bringing
together
this
convening
I
want
to
thank
the
community
members
that
are
here.
This
is
a
point
issue
that
is
relevant
to
our
city
and
especially
during
our
summer
months,
as
you
heard
from
my
colleagues,
we're
very
resource
rich
in
this
city.
There's
nothing
more
I
could
say
too
much
about
the
resources.
One
of
the
things
that
we'll
add
is
that
the
mayor
has
brought
about
our
office
to
convene
a
lot
of
the
folks
that
are
handling
these
resources
throughout
the
city.
J
So
the
mayor's
office
of
Public
Safety,
headed
by
the
director
Dan
Mohan.
We
convene
a
lot
of
our
partners
once
a
month,
not
just
during
the
summer
months,
but
once
a
month
throughout
the
year
to
go
over
the
data
that
Jen
just
presented
earlier
around
the
Xuan's
that
exists
in
our
city
and
what
are
we
doing
about
it
in
different
hard
areas?
We
look
at
those
things
more
strategically
and
we
get
together
smaller
groups
to
figure
out
how
we
can
better
support
the
issues
around
trauma
around
violence
in
those
particular
areas.
J
Understanding
that
July
4th
is
one
of
our
most
dangerous
days
of
the
year
we
looked
at.
How
do
we
make
sure
that,
within
our
operation
exit
and
our
collaboration
with
the
building
trades
I,
we
make
sure
that
we're
convening
young
men
from
those
hard
areas
for
those
areas
that
are
most
violence
and
up-and-coming
summer
months
to
make
sure
that
they
involved
in
pro-social
program
it
to
give
them
real
opportunities?
J
So
they
can
have
a
pathway
out,
and
so
we
just
started
our
fourth
class
and
we,
it
will
be
going
on
past
July
4th
to
make
sure
that
they're
going
through
the
training
process,
so
we'll
give
them
some
incentive
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
of
no
violence
throughout
the
summer
months,
but
they're
in
the
opportunity
that
can
change
their
life
forever
for
the
better
one
of
the
things.
I.
Think
it's
important
to
note
is
that
anything
we
do
we're
only
as
strong
as
our
partnerships
with
community.
J
We
can
do
as
much
as
we
want
to
do
here
as
a
city
and
our
agencies
and
the
programs
that
we
develop,
but
we're
no
good
if
we
don't
have
community
partners
and
community
at
the
forefront
of
everything
that
we
do.
That's
why
this
important
conversation
needs
to
happen.
I
just
want
to
say
also
is
that
I
think
that
we
do
really
good
as
a
city
as
figuring
out.
J
What's
on
resources
to
put
forth
I,
think
the
things
that
we
can
stronger
and
get
better
at
is
making
sure
some
of
these
voices
from
the
community,
as
we
continue
to
collaborate,
can
figure
out
how
we
could
they
fit
in
that
because
I
won't
say
community
doesn't
step
up
in
a
lot
of
ways.
They
do.
We
see
it
through
the
social
media
platforms
and
sometimes
in
conversations
harsh
ones
that
they
have
with
me,
but
I
think
that
what
we
could
do
better,
it's
figure
out
ways
to
be
collaborative
together
and
to
move
the
needle
forward.
J
A
B
You,
mr.
chairman,
and
thank
you
all
for
that
very
thorough
presentation,
councillor
Janey
and
I
specifically
didn't
want
this
to
be
a
panel
of
Boston
police
first,
because
it's
not
just
about
as
we
address
root
causes
and
trays
to
address
summer
violence.
It's
not
just
about
the
police
officers.
It's
about
this
collaborative
approach,
bcy
F,
Health
and
Human
Services,
my
brother's
keeper,
everybody
working
together.
So
thank
you
all
just
briefly
a
commissioner.
B
A
couple
weeks
ago,
I
did
a
ride-along
as
I
do
fairly
regularly
with
Captain
Jack
dan
alecky
and
two
guns
were
taken
off
the
streets
that
night.
During
the
couple
hours
I
was
riding
with
him.
They
were
both
handguns
and
it
was
great,
and
your
300
guns
have
been
taken
off
the
street
year
today
is
impressive
and
is
great.
What
is
chilling
to
me
is
that
you
said
an
ar-15
was
among
those
guns
just
the
other
day.
B
For
those
that
don't
know,
that's
a
semi-automatic
rifle,
it
can
fire
a
lot
of
rounds
in
a
very
short
periods,
but
was
used
in
parkland
shooting
last
month
or
two
months
ago.
So
and
that's
a
concern
because,
while
we
have
pretty
strict
I
would
hope
they
would
be
more
strict
gun
laws
in
the
Commonwealth.
They
don't
have
them
in
Maine
or
New,
Hampshire
or
Vermont,
and
which
can
often
flood
in
so,
have
you
seen
an
increase
in
in
sort
of
the
military-style
assault
weapons
on
our
streets?
It
was
that
an
anomaly
despite
an
ar-15
well.
E
The
year
today
that
we
haven't
seen
a
whole
lot
more
in
God,
you
know
I
think,
there's
a
ban
on
assault
rifles
here.
So,
but
you
know
we
haven't
seen
a
whole
knock
on
wood.
We
haven't
seen
a
whole
lot,
but
it
troubles
me.
You
know
that
we
was
seeing
so
many
high-powered,
semi-automatic,
handguns
and
the
hands
are
a
lot
of
young
kids
out
there,
and
you
know
even
in
this
search
one.
E
It
bothers
me
that
when
they
found
these
two
guns,
they
were
in
piles
on
laundry
already
cocked,
with
the
whole
idea
for
lucky
my
officers
weren't
shot
when
those
were
all
ready
to
go
off
to
anyone
who
found
them
the
way
they
were
set
up
in
the
clothes-
and
you
know
thank
God.
You
know
they
weren't
hurt
early
this
morning
when
they
did
that
search
one
that
was
sort
of
like
a
booby
trap
for
whoever
found
them.
E
So
that's
troubling
to
me,
but
you
know
that
sometimes
that's
some
of
the
danger
we
face
out
there
and
but
at
the
same
time
I
commend
the
neighbors.
They
were
out
there
and
they
were
thanking
us.
Obviously
they
knew
that
was
a
trouble
house
and
you
know
if
anyone
else
out
there
knows
of
trouble
houses
that
might
be
impacting
such
as
you
know,
the
house
on
Copeland
Street,
we'll
have
had
a
lot
of
violence.
73,
chil,
Street,
there's
another
one.
E
B
In
to
the
you
know,
fatalities
and
non
fatalities,
six
additional
fatalities
from
this
time
last
year,
20
to
fewer
non
fatalities.
Why
is
that
that
that
seems
it
says
so
to
go
from
13
to
19
is
46%
increase.
6
is
46%
of
13
to
go
from
80
to
58%
as
a
30%
decrease.
Is
it
that
the
people
are
using
more
high-powered
guns?
Is
it
that
an
issue
in
terms
of
EMS
not
being
able
to
respond
in
time
I'm?
Just
it's.
E
Not
a
huge
number
and
I
think
I
said
it.
I
know
you
know.
Anthony
Braga
is
studying
this
now.
He
does
a
lot
of
work
with
Northeastern
on
this
and
he
has
a
paper
coming
out
this
week
very
much
on
this
subject.
How
the
higher
the
caliber
is,
the
more
likely
death
will
result
from
the
shot
and
that's
what
his
study
will
show.
That's
interesting
because
I
had
a
doctor
peed
in
my
Marcus
with
Mass
General
called
me
today
when
he
seen
these
numbers,
and
he
asked
the
same
question
to
me
this
morning.
E
I
was
talking,
he
said.
Does
that
mean
these
high-powered
guns
do
more
damage
and
he
sees
it
and
it's
only
reaffirming
what
he
thought.
So
you
know
these
three
80s
and
the
40
calibers
and
you
know
they're
doing
a
lot
more
destructive
damage
once
they
hit
the
body
plus
I.
Think
a
lot
of
these
mad
was
a
lot
more
up,
close
and
personal,
a
few
basically
almost
assassinations,
and
also
we
had
five
stabbing
deaths,
which
is
unusual.
We
don't
usually
see
that.
B
Very
very
interesting,
you
said
in
your
remarks:
we
need
the
communities
to
help
us
this
summer.
Can
you
or
maybe
superintending
you
talk
about
ways
that
the
community
can
anonymously
report?
Something
talked
to
someone.
You
know.
I've
often
talked
particularly
in
Jamaica
Plain
in
e-13,
the
the
community
service
officers
are
among
the
finest
across
the
country.
They
know
people
they
get
to
know
people
they
build
relations.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
ways
that
the
community
can
work,
perhaps
better
with
BPD
to
you,
know,
address
these
and
feel
safe
and
build
safer
sure
these.
K
Can
operate
the
tips
Hotline
if
they
want
to
be
anonymous,
1-800,
four,
nine
four
tips
calling
any
information,
they
have
be
it
violence,
be
a
drugs,
barking
dog
anything
and
they
will
be
followed
up
and
it'll
be
anonymous
to
them.
They
can
just
leave
the
information
and
move
on,
but
if
they
establish
a
rapport
with
the
community
service
officer,
the
beat
officer
or
anything
like
that,
they
can
pass
on
that
information
to
them.
B
And
be
mindful,
my
colleagues,
so
I'll
jump
around
a
little
bit.
Chief
Martinez,
you
said
you
talked
about.
Resources
need
a
gap
that
exists
now
in
terms
of
the
study.
The
work
you've
done
has
been
resources
to
bring
people
together.
To
help.
Are
you
talking
specifically
about
sort
of
financial
resources?
Better
programmatic?
How
can
the
city
help
you
is
this
working
with
nonprofits
can
just
expand
on
that
briefly.
Yeah.
G
I
mean
I,
think
it's
you
know,
providers
understanding
who's
doing
what
right
to
give
you
an
example.
You
know.
So
if
a
providers
like
you
know
in
this
neighborhood
to
target
young
people
in
fields
corner
we're,
gonna
do
this
on
Friday
nights
and
this
on
Sunday
nights
and
understanding
that
another
provider
might
be
doing
something
on
this
night
or
another
night,
but
there's
a
gap,
no
one's
doing
anything
on
Saturday
right.
So
sometimes
it's
literally
coordination
and
communication,
and
that's
why
we
brought
these
providers
together
in
these
six
specific
neighborhoods.
G
But
other
examples
were
money
right.
So,
for
example,
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
in
Dorchester
they
give
every
young
person
who's
there.
They
close
I
think
that
either
11:00
or
midnight
on
Friday
every
young
person
who's
there
gets
a
ride
home
and
that's
something
they
do.
You
have
to
do
it
for
safety
reasons
and
variety
of
other
reasons,
but,
for
example,
the
why
they
if
they
had
more
resources,
they
would
do
that
too,
but
instead
they
get
people
rights
to
the
tea
stops.
G
Now
the
tea
stops
a
great
transportation
issue,
but
it's
not
as
safe
as
getting
a
ride
home.
So
I
give
you
a
real
concrete
example
that
providers
are
trying
to
make
those
decisions
in
the
summer
to
figure
out.
How
do
you
engage
young
people,
but
then
how
do
you
keep
them
safe
while
you
engage
them
at
the
same
time,
so
our
office
was
trying
to
in
is
continue
and
trying
to
do
is
how
do
we
have
better
coordination?
G
So
how
do
we
make
sure
that
they
go
to
another
place
or
have
access
to
another
resource,
so
our
office
is
trying
to
partner
with
all
these
great
resources
and
lift
up
the
coordination,
the
resources
and
the
gaps
that
exist
and
then
try
to
fill
them.
So
that's
that's
the
work
we've
been
trying
to
do
ever
since
we
saw
the
data,
but
through
the
spring
and
into
the
summer.
Okay,.
B
H
E
E
That's
a
hope,
yeah
we're
supposed
to
be
getting
the
bikes
in
this
week,
and
so
you
know
that
would
be
three
that
maybe
we
can.
You
know
I
always
make
sure
now,
obviously,
after
what
happened
in
heat
Street,
that
we
always
have
pedal
bikes
there
and
so
it'll
give
us
the
ability
to
put
them
out
more.
We
have
the
citywide
unit
that
respond
in
there
in
all
the
districts.
This
will
give
the
captain
the
ability
to
put
him
with.
B
E
B
E
Have
a
bike
ride
for
peace
coming
up
in
August,
so
again,
as
we
get
closer
we'll
get
that
out.
Maybe
we
can
get
a
lot
more
people
from
the
community
to
take
a
bike
ride
for
us.
We
started
that
last
year.
It's
a
good
way
to
reach
out
a
different
audience.
Yeah.
We
have
these
walks
for
peace
and
we
now
we're
going
to
have
this.
The
bike
ride
some
peace.
That's
great!
Thank.
C
Thank
you
and
thank
you
to
my
colleague
for
pointing
out
that
this
is
really
about.
You
know,
partnership
and
how
we,
we
all
take
responsibility
and
try
to
do
more
and
to
do
better
for
our
community
around
these
issues.
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment.
You
know
I
think
the
panel
earlier
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
that
we
have
a
lot
of
people
in
our
audience
today
who
are
actively
working
on
these
issues.
I
know,
I
saw
Monica
cannon
earlier.
She
I
guess
had
to
leave.
C
James
Mackey
was
here,
James
Hill
Hills
is
in
the
audience.
We've
got
pastor
of
st.
John's
art
Gordon,
who
is
doing
work
here.
Certainly
the
minister
one
of
the
ministers
that
talked
Baptist,
Church,
Willie
Broderick,
who
will
hear
from
later
and
I'm,
really
grateful
for
12th
and
all
that
they
do
in
terms
of
their
peace
walks.
We
had
representation
from
12th
Baptist
Church
in
the
trauma
response
team
on
Saturday
and
certainly
want
to
also
acknowledge
Liz
Miranda
who's
in
the
audience.
She's
the
executive
director
of
Hawthorne
youth
center
in
Roxbury
I
know.
C
She
knows
this
issue
firsthand
as
well.
One
of
my
first
questions
when
we
came
together
as
a
team
on
Saturday
was
really
how
do
the
people
who
respond
to
trauma
deal
with
their
own
trauma?
And
you
know
this
is
not
a
new
issue
in
our
city.
This
is
not
we're
looking
at
some
of
violence
today,
but
clearly
violence
happens,
year-round
or
just
wanted
to
focus
here.
C
This
is
not
new
to
parts
of
Roxbury,
certainly
to
Copeland
Street
and
so
to
hear
this
repeatedly
over
and
over
and
over
again,
I
know
how
it
impacts
me
and
for
people
who
then
have
to
go
and
respond
I'm
curious
to
just
know
and
understand.
How
do
we
feed
our
own
Souls
when
we
have
to
go
out
and
and
help
others,
and
perhaps
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
address
that
Reverend
Scott.
H
So
you
asked
the
question:
what
are
you
going
to
do
to
take
care
of
yourself,
and
so
we
label
it
as
self
care,
but
the
step
beyond
that
really
is
to
create
a
culture
of
self
care
where
we're
doing
what
you
do
we're
supporting
one
another
and
making
sure
that
we're
taking
care
of
ourselves.
One
of
the
things
we
require
the
team
is
to
have
a
self-care
plan
for
the
members
of
the
team.
Another
thing
that
we're
doing,
and
one
do
more
of-
is
debriefing
the
incident
both
operationally,
but
also
in
terms
of
a
psycho-emotional.
H
How
are
people
doing?
What
are
you
doing
and
take
care
of
yourself?
One
of
our
partners?
Actually
Louis
D
Brown
Peace
Institute,
has
really
developed
a
tremendous
amount
of
capacity
in
for
their
staff,
but
but
they're
willing
to
share
a
lot
of
things.
They
do
acupuncture
giving
people
time
off,
giving
people
actually
giving
their
staff
a
resources
to
be
able
to
use
it.
They
spend
some
money
to
go.
Do
things
that
will
help
with
self-care
one
of
the
things
that
we
talk.
A
lot
about
is
water,
so.
H
C
And
I'm
I'm
also
grateful
for
the
Lewis
T
Brown
Peace
Institute
and
for
their
work,
so
I'm
glad
that
we'll
hear
from
them
later.
You
know
I'm
worried
about
what
happens
next.
So
you
know
we
have
these
incidents
to
make
a
plain
Roxbury
concentrated
in
certain
areas
Dorchester.
So
what
are
the
next
steps?
Just
thinking
about
again
the
shooting
on
Copeland
that
was
Friday
night
early
Saturday
morning
around
midnight
the
next
day?
So
we
know
that
the
shooting
victims
are,
you
know
in
the
hospital
their
families
are
worried.
C
We
went
out
that
Saturday,
the
neighborhood
you
can
still
see,
even
though
you
know
it's
almost
kind
of
back
to
normal
into
in
terms
of
people
going
about
their
business.
But
you
see
you
know,
bullet
holes,
you
see
the
car
that
was
shot
up
and
the
car
sitting
there
for
days
on
end
as
a
trigger
for
folks
who
have
to
walk
by
it
every
single
day,
never
mind
the
hardship
of
the
owner
of
the
car
to
get
it
back
together.
C
The
car
has
now
been
the
the
windshield
and
everything
has
been
restored,
but
I'm
still
mindful
that,
even
though
that
car
has
now
been
restored,
there
are
still
people
in
the
hospital.
There
are
still
neighbors
who
witnessed
this.
Who
experienced
this,
who
heard
this,
including
children,
and
then
you
know
and
I
know
we
went
out.
But
what
more
can
we
do?
We
go
out
again
like
what?
What
are
the
really
next
steps?
Typically,
and
what
could
we
do?
Ideally,
you
know
given
the
resources
you
know,
if
we
just
had
our
druthers
so.
H
H
jobs,
12th
Baptists,
Roxbury,
Presbyterian
Church,
all
of
whom
have
a
presence
and
a
visibility
in
the
community
in
the
case
of
Roxbury
Presbyterian
Church
EF,
can
we
talk,
which
isn't
was
just
something
that's
available
for
long
term
support
and
care
for
people
on
a
consistent
basis
going
as
far
as
long
as
someone
meets
that
kind
of
support.
You
know
what
12th
Baptist
does
in
terms
of
the
peace
walks.
H
12Th
Baptist
was
there
that
Friday
before
that
incident
happened,
set
on
those
very
steps
right
and
we'll
be
back
again
next
Friday
and
the
Friday
after
that
and
the
Friday
after
that
and
the
Friday
up
to
the
consistency.
That's
there,
the
health
centers,
the
design
there
is
to
be
able
to
provide
access
to
mental
health,
behavioral
health
services
for
the
long
term.
Whenever
a
person
decides
to
to
use
it,
some
of
the
people
we
will
come
across.
H
You
know
we're
dealing
with
something
happened
last
night,
but
people
are
still
suffering
from
what
happened
10
years
ago,
right
and
so
those
services
that
those
kinds
of
behavioral
health
and
mental
health
services
that
just
is
available
for
them.
As
for
things
that
happen
in,
but
that's
a
question,
I
think
we'd
to
always
be
asking
ourselves.
What
more
can
we
do
together.
C
J
I'll
say
is
that
you
have
street
workers
in
the
neighborhood
as
well
that
for
the
gentleman
that
been
in
that
neighborhood,
where
somebody
got
hurt,
you
have
street
workers
there.
That
will
beat
it
ready
to
engage
some
of
the
gentlemen
that
are
out
there.
Some
of
the
families
that
are
out
there
as
well,
that
won't
walk
into
a
church
that
won't
walk
into
the
sinners.
J
You
have
street
workers
out
there
roaming,
the
neighborhood
that
they
can
connect
with
and
that's
important
as
well,
because
there's
folks
in
that
neighborhood,
that's
not
going
to
go
to
out-brake
Presbyterian
as
great
as
they
are,
and
12
Baptist
Church
and
will
not
participate
in
the
walk.
But
if
they
see
a
familiar
face
in
the
street
worker
they'll
be
able
to
engage
them
and
be
able
to
get
involved
in
pro-social
program.
J
C
E
So
obviously,
focus
on
what's
causing
the
problem
down
there
and
I
think
you
know.
I
talked
to
Jerome
Smith
from
Neighborhood
Services
to
look
at
the
house
where
that
incident
happened.
You
know.
Last
year
we
had
a
similar
incident
where
a
five
year
old
girl
shot
very
much
that
originated
from
that
house.
You
know
they
had
a
obviously
a
house
party,
and
you
know
it
went
bad
in
individuals.
They
were
shooting
each
other
in
that.
E
So
that's
a
problem
properly,
so
I
think
we
got
to
dig
into
what
services
we
can
bring
to
that
house
and
and
see
what's
going
on,
so
we
don't
have
a
repeat
at
that
address:
I!
Think
yeah,
you
know.
That's
one
angle,
I
think
we've
already
put
some
cameras
up
on
Copeland
I
think
either
either
early
this
morning
to
help
focus
on
the
street
and
hopefully
that
will
be
a
deterrent
and
let
us
have
better
eyes
on
the
street.
Obviously
we're
gonna
increase
our
visibility.
Both
yeah
hopefully
have
the
bikes.
E
We
can't
do
everything
we
need
people
on
streets
like
yours
to
help
us
solve
the
issue,
because
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is
be
Oh,
be
overly
aggressive
on
the
street
because
we're
very
very
tuned
into
we
don't
want
negative
relationships
by
coming
on
overly
strong,
but
I
think
the
effort
to
clean
up
some
of
these
hot
spots.
It
has
to
be
a
community
solution
with
us
all
working
together,
weather.
You
know.
E
C
C
So,
even
though
we
have
the
trauma
response
team,
which
I
think
is
amazing,
the
work
that
you
guys
are
doing,
I
think
we,
you
know
the
question
of
how
we
can
do
more,
to
really
make
sure
that
that
that
communities
are
healing
from
trauma
making
sure
that
our
schools
are
stronger
and
part
of
that
network
and
that
children
are
not
being
failed
by
our
school
systems.
I
think
that
those
are
the
things
that
we
don't
do,
I
believe
and
I
noticed
and
I
know.
I
want
to
give
time
for
others.
C
C
Do
we
have
additional
strategies
that
we're
looking
at
to
deal
with
when
they're,
not
in
a
center
or
not
at
a
camp
or
not
in
Vacation,
Bible,
School
or
like
what
are
we
doing
in
these
hours,
and
the
same
would
be
true
for
the
school
year.
You
know
not
just
in
the
summer
but
I'm
just
noticing
here
that
we
see
like
two
o'clock
from
you
know,
ten
or
whatever
it
is
here
during
the
summer
when
children
may
not
be
in
programming
that
we
just
see
this
this
uptake.
G
Just
on
the
prevention
side,
I'll
say
that's
why
you
see
youth
centers
and
teen
programs
and
others
trying
to
do
things
at
night
and
what
they
wouldn't
normally
do
that
right.
So
it's
not
even
programming
but
hey
the
Y,
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
B.
So
have
we're
open
right,
we're
open!
You
know
you,
don't
normally
have
a
Boys
and
Girls
Club
open
till
midnight,
but
you
do
in
the
summer
because
it's
trying
to
keep
young
people
in
a
safer
space
rather
than
in
the
street
or
in
the
community.
So
there's
a
lot
of
programming.
G
I
would
also
suggest
that
there's
also
desire
to
think
about
ensuring
that
we
have
street
workers
that
have
that
are
on
on
at
those
times,
as
opposed
to
having
some
limited
times
that
that
they
may
be
on,
and
so
it's
trying
to
really
make
sure
that
we
recognize
the
data
tells
us
here
are
the
times
we
need
to
think
about.
When
how
do
we
ensure
that
we
have
programming
and
prevention
related
resources
around
those
times?
That's
on
the
prevention
side
that
I
know.
E
If
I,
could
you
know,
programs
and
I
give
a
shout
out
to
people
like
Jack
Connors
who
step
up
with
camp
I
love
you?
You
know
that
program
should
be
starting
in
about
two
weeks,
but
that
takes
more
city.
Kids
over
you
know
to
the
camp
on
the
island,
and
you
know
that
that
develops
them
develop.
Some
skills
keeps
them
safe,
gives
these
kids
opportunities
that
they
never
had
so
council,
when
you
say
that
that's
what
we
got
to
do
I
agree
with
the
one
hundred
percent.
D
Thank
You,
council,
McCarthy
and
chief
I
know
councillor
Janey,
talked
about
trauma
and
how
it
impacts.
People
that
witness
violence,
but
is
there,
is
there
any
City
program
that
you
know
is
that
is
on
call
if
there's
a
situation
that
occurs
late
at
night,
that
you
have
a
rapid
response,
trauma
team
that
will
respond
to
the
incident
and
provide
services
almost
immediate,
almost
immediately
getting
getting
people
engaged
in
the
in
the
counseling
process
in
at
least
getting
people's
names
and
numbers
and
following
up,
but
is
there
like
almost
a
rapid
response
team
so.
H
That's
the
24/7
trauma
hotline,
that's
available
for
trauma,
that's
related
to
community
violence
and
one
of
the
things
that
actually
we
got
an
idea
from
one
of
the
activists.
Well,
the
organizers
in
the
community
was
actually
group
of
them
was
to
create
these
palm
cards
so
that
people
police
officers
in
any
any
res
could
have
it
available.
It's
got
the
number
on
it,
which
is
six
one.
Seven,
four,
three
one
zero
one,
two
five,
and
so
that's
what
the
jri
Boston
trauma,
response,
team,
staffs
and
the
standard
is
call
if
they
don't
pick
up.
H
H
What
what
kind
of
response
do
you
need?
Is
this
something
where
you
need?
Somebody
actually
come
out
or
something
we
can
do
tomorrow.
So
I'm
gonna
do
on
the
phone
right
now
and
then,
if
it
is
to
be
able
to
come
out,
they
will
come
the
commissioner.
Some
of
the
police
captains,
the
street
workers,
are
frequent
callers
because
the
street
workers
are
there
copies.
Of
course
the
police
are
there
and
then
and
then
they'll
call
we'll
have
that
conversation
and
then
and
then
they
will
respond.
I.
E
We
usually
judge
it
by
what
time
a
night
it
is
and
what
we
see
for
people
out
there.
When
we
call
you
know
I
remember
we
had
the
shooting
at
the
Tobin
School
where
young
kids
were
killed
and
we
had
a
ton
of
people
out
there
and
I
call
Reverend
Scott
I
said:
can
you
get
down
here?
You
know
because
you
knew
there
was
a
lot
of
people
who
had
witnessed
it
as
opposed
to
3:00
a.m.
a
lot
of
time.
J
It's
their
add
a
little
bit.
What
are
the
things
they
have
is
the
response
team
at
the
hospitals.
So
even
if
initially
they
don't
see
something
happening
on
us
on
the
scene
in
the
hospitals,
you
have
street
workers
there
that
will
be
able
to
engage
with
families.
So
if
they
need
that
level
of
support,
they
can
have
that
intake
process
right
there.
Thank
you.
H
D
You
and
commissioner
I
know
you.
The
Boston
Police
has
done
an
excellent
job
of
you
know
getting
guns
off
the
off
the
street
for
for
so
many
years.
But
what
what
can
we
do
also
about
getting
this
there's
been
a
lot
of
stabbings,
but
getting
a
lot
of
knives
off
the
street
is
zero?
Is
there
a
similar
outreach
plan
on
there's.
E
A
city
ordinance
against
remember
eight
years
ago
we
had
a
rash
of
stabbings,
and
then
we
started
to
really
do
checks
on
all
these
stores
that
were
stabbing
them
with.
That
was
selling
these.
So
there's
already
rules
on
the
on
the
book.
So
if
we
catch
someone
with
a
blade,
that's
over
I
think
it's
two
and
a
half
inches
on
will
charge
them
without
unlawful
will.
So
there
are
already
city
ordinances
on
the
books
to
address,
with
both
the
stores
that
are
selling
these,
as
well
as
over
the
certain
lens.
D
L
L
Sometimes
what
I
hear
sometimes
from
our
residents
is
that
the
trauma
team
does
respond
initially,
but
then
doesn't
stay
up.
It
doesn't
stick
around
long
and
certainly
doesn't
stick
around
long
enough
to
make
real
impact
on
what
that,
what
that
family
or
that
immediate
community
is
experienced
well.
H
The
idea
is
to
help
people
move
into
recovery
and
the
recovery
services
are
available
for
an
ongoing
period
of
time.
So
if
it's
the
Boston
trauma
response
team,
it's
part
of
j'irai,
then
that's
going
to
be
they'll
come
it's
short
term,
that's
intentionally
a
short
term
service,
but
then
it's
connected
to
the
health
centers,
where
the
long
term
services
are
available
so
and
those
can
go
on
as
long
as
the
person
needs
them
to
and
part
of
the
reason
why
it's
important
to
have
a
lot
of
different
community
partners.
H
H
L
H
L
H
Partner
that
can
take
it
the
next
step,
so
that
might
if
the
family,
it's
the
family,
that's
surviving
a
homicide.
Then
they'll
have
some
contact.
You
know
the
freedom
of
the
hospital
sometime,
the
BPD
homicide
unit.
It
could
be
one
of
our
team
members
and
if
the
family
chooses
it
would
be
a
Louis
D,
Brown
peace,
Institute
and
they'll
work
with
them
up
to
a
certain
period,
and
then
they
made
the
phantom
a
say.
H
We
need
you
to
come
for
the
funeral,
then
we'll
do
that
and
then
its
people,
what
we
have
actually
in
the
contracts
are
for
the
teams
to
check
in
with
people
at
set
intervals
up
to
18
months.
That's
something
that
came
from
the
listening
sessions,
so
communities
talk
about
that,
and
that
is
something
that
that's
expected
of
the
teams
that
that's
in
the
contracts.
Then
that
goes
up
to
18
months
in.
L
H
The
the
big
set
of
listening
sessions
were
done
in
the
summer.
2016
I
was
14
of
them.
That's.
What
really
kind
of
crap
did
the
design
of
the
whole
program.
Then
there
is
an
expectation
that
at
the
neighborhood
level
team
that
we'll
go
back
and
do
more
listening
to
your
point
right
things
have
changed.
We
know
a
little
bit
more.
G
Yes,
will
its
need
for
feedback,
but
we
also
that
the
trauma
work
is
based
in
in
science
and
public
health
right,
so
we're
listening
to
feedback,
but
also
making
sure
that
it's
within
the
realm
of
how
do
you
do
good
trauma
work?
How
do
you
meet
families
where
they're
at?
How
do
you
make
sure
that
it's
not
a
one-size-fits-all
approach
where,
as
a
trauma
team
a
connect,
for
example
this
with
the
victims
that
were
from
this
last
weekend,
the
street
workers
played
an
integral
role
with
them
at
the
hospital
and
and
their
families?
G
The
trauma
team
may
have
at
that
point
stepped
away
because
the
families
were
connected
to
a
street
worker
who
they
knew
well,
and
so
the
engagement
is
there.
So
it's
also
that
feedback
loop
and
we've
had
community
meetings
with
some
folks
that
are
here,
but
it's
also
making
sure
we
don't
lose
the
science,
because
sometimes
what
may
feel
right
may
actually
not
be
what
the
public
health
approach
calls
for.
L
I
think
both
for
the
Commissioner
Commissioner
Evans
and
the
rest
of
you.
What
is
our
relationship
with
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
knowing
that
oftentimes
events
that
happened
in
the
summer
have
spilled
over
from
situations
that
have
often
started
during
the
school
year,
especially
as
schools
wrap
up
this
time
of
year.
There
are
increased
anxieties,
especially
for
more
vulnerable
populations
and
students,
as
they're
preparing
for
the
summer
there
they
become
afraid
and
that
heightens
and
often
create
situations
that
we
could
I
think
we
more
proactive
with
a
better
relationship
with
the
school
department.
Well,.
E
Well,
I
know,
besides
in
sexton,
and
his
officers
work
with
the
kids
throughout
the
summer
same
idea,
they're
following
the
kids
they're
involved
in
the
camps,
they're
involved
I,
know
I.
They
go
over
to
camp
above
you
and
work
with
the
kids
over
there
and
if
they
see
an
issue
developing
it's
very
much
like
during
the
school
year,
they
do
home
visits
with
the
clergy
and
the
parents
to
try
to
get
on
top
of
it,
but
they're
very
much
involved
in
a
lot
of
activities.
E
Both
they're
in
the
YMCA
I
mean
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
they're
working
with
these
kids
to
out
the
summer
to
try
to
defuse
these
gang
issues
and
and
they're.
Also
working
with
the
youth
violence
task
force
on
any
information
they
may
develop.
That
would
that
there
might
be
having
for
better
a
shooting
or
something
like
that,
but
just
because
the
school
year
ends
Councilwoman.
They
don't
stop
working
with
these
kids
throughout
the
summer,
they're
working
with
them
all
around
the
city,
in
the
various
camps
and
basketball
programs
and
whatever
it
takes.
L
My
last
it's
it's
more
of
a
rhetorical
question:
I
meant
I,
suppose
you
know
making
sure
that
both
with
our
police
resources
and
our
outreach
and
our
response
efforts
that
we
are
making
sure
that
we
covering
the
whole
city-
and
you
know
obviously
watching
those
hotspots,
but
also
knowing
that
we
are
stretching
a
lot
of
our
both
our
police
officers
that
are
on
many
of
them
on
force
over
time.
A
lot
throughout
the
summer,
if
not
year-round,
but
then
also
our
response
teams
in
our
street
workers.
There's
a
lot
of
work.
L
G
So
counselor
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
that
we
that
we're
trying
to
do
is
identify
what
those
programs
are
that
still
have
space
and
capacity.
So
it's
a
great
example
right
now
we
just
in
our
community
convenience
we
had
around
the
hotspots.
We
learned
that
sociate
that
latina,
for
example,
has
openings
for
students
high
school
students
that
need
to
engage
in
summer
school,
but
need
to
engage
in
job
training
and
learning
like
they
have
some
openings,
and
we
learned
that
by
convening
providers
that
are
doing
work
in
different
neighborhoods.
G
So
that's
one
example
of
multiple
examples
that
Health
and
Human
Services
is
trying
to
identify.
Where
are
there
still
opportunities,
and
how
do
we
connect
young
people
to
those
by
doing
warm,
handoff
I
also
think
in
the
city
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
if
there
are
placement
opportunities
through
jobs
and
and
other
referrals
that
come
in,
that
we
will
work
to
find
them
right.
G
We
can't
guarantee
that
across
the
board,
but
it's
we
want
to
be
flexible
enough
and
our
programs
around
be
cyf,
but
also
our
CBO's
have
a
lot
of
great
someone
said
this
early.
We
have
a
lot
of
resources
at
the
table,
but
it's
how
to
plug
people
in
and
it
was
clear,
the
six
meetings
we
had
just
this.
G
Last
week
we
had
out
of
maybe
25
different
organizations,
probably
mubarak's
and
was
there
probably
half
of
them
have
openings
for
for
teens
and
young
adults
and
even
older
for
programs,
and
so
we
captured
that
information
and
want
to
be
able
to
connect
young
people
to
it.
So
Health
and
Human
Services
is
trying
to
be
that
bridge
for
some
of
the
CBO's
and
the
city
as
well,
and.
M
Are
you
finding
that
that
kind
of
the
number
of
youth
that
you
are
trying
to
plug
in
Hannah
in
this
time
frame
and
throughout
the
summer
is
about
the
same
year
to
year
or
and
and
therefore
we
could
just
budget
for
more
youth
summer
jobs
or
to
find
the
funding
for
more
jobs
on
the
front
end,
or
is
it
kind
of
unpredictable?
What
have
you
seen?
I
mean.
G
I
think
it's
sort
of
it
varies
from
time
to
time,
but
I
think
what
doesn't?
What
doesn't
varies
that
the
needs
get
more
complex
right,
so
just
having
a
summer
job
may
not
be
enough
for
a
17
year
old
who's
been
engaged
in
a
variety
of
different
things
who
a
summer
job
making.
You
know
little
money
isn't
going
to
be
an
enticing
to
them,
and
so
it
the
needs,
get
more
complex,
which
means
we
have
to
be
more
creative.
We
have
to
have
more
programs
like
operation
exit
and
others
that
are
gonna,
be
meet.
G
The
complex
needs
of
young
adults
and
again
the
only
thing
I
would
add
is
the
age
is
also
not
just
not
just
teenagers
we're
also
talking
about
young
adults
into
their
early
20s
of
trying
to
create
resources
and
opportunities
there
as
well,
so
the
numbers
vary,
but
the
needs
are
getting
more
complex.
Thank.
N
First
I
want
to
thank
Council,
Malley
and
councillors
Janey
the
makers
of
this
order,
and
thank
all
of
you
for
being
here
and
for
the
role
that
you
play
out
in
community
every
day.
I
just
had
a
question
about
data
and
because
a
couple
of
times
it
is
seemed
that
the
numbers
that
were
being
reported
relative
to
non-fatal
shootings
or
stabbings
or
fatal
shootings
and
stabbings
where
family
members
have
said
you
know,
I
was
a
victim.
Someone
of
my
family
was
a
victim
and
we're
not
counted
in
those
numbers.
N
E
Real
so
every
report,
the
brics
working
constantly
update
and
though
so
year-to-date
we're
down
17
shootings
and
that's
everyone
who's
hit
with
a
projectile.
That's
that's
what
we'll
count
near
some
people
who
actually
get
hit
by
a
bullet,
and
so
that's
that's
accurate
that
you
know
right
on
same
with
stabbings
they're
aggravated
assaults.
Those
are
all
counted,
so
the
data
is
real
time.
It's
real!
It's
it's
exactly
and
it's
you
know.
N
Okay
and
then
I,
just
since
we
know
that
this
violence
is
a
byproduct
of
other
social
determinants
and
social
ills,
and
so
I
very
much
appreciate
your
folks
being
here
to
speak
about
opportunity
and
how
important
that
is
and
appreciate.
Counselor
Woo's
line
of
questioning
relative
to
summer
jobs
and
I
just
wanted
to
better
understand
the
data
around
that,
since
we
did
increase
the
the
age
limit
for
participation
I,
just
wonder:
if
we're
tracking
who
has
youth
jobs,
you
know,
do
we
have
geographic
diversity?
We
have
racial
diversity.
Do
we
have
age?
G
So
the
yes,
we
do
track
some
of
the
data.
We
don't
obviously
have
it
for
this
year
because
we're
still
in
that
process,
but
we
are
able
to
tell
you
what
neighborhoods
young
people
live
in
and
where
who
are
getting
jobs,
what
neighborhoods
they
live
in,
where
their
jobs
are
also
located.
So
we
know
what
neighborhoods
they're
going
into
which
I
think
is
also
a
part
of
it.
We
don't
need
that
data
to
tell
you
that
thirteen
and
fourteen
year
olds,
who
don't
qualify
for
those
jobs,
are
a
gap.
G
There's
no
question,
so
that's
why
you
have
a
lot
of
CBO's,
focusing
on
that
13
14
year
old
place,
because
there
was
young
people
are
not
gonna,
go
to
the
camps.
They're,
not
gonna.
Do
those
things,
but
that
week
they
can't
work,
and
so
it's
trying
to
create
those
resources
and
programs
and
I
would
say
the
Y
Boys
and
Girls
Club
DCYF.
A
variety
of
other
organizations
are
targeting
that
age
range.
So
without
a
doubt
that
is
a
gap
right
there.
N
Are
there
and
there's
no
hierarchy
of
need,
I
mean
there's
a
you
know:
a
benefit
to
every
young
person
being
gainfully
employed
for
professional
development,
for
supplemental
income
for
necessary
income
for
the
household,
for
a
pathway
into
a
job
all
of
those
reasons,
but
sometimes
I,
do
wonder
if
a
lot
of
our
programming
is
serving
youth.
Who
might
have
other
acts
points
you
know
to
get
these
supports,
but
the
the
youth
that
are
in
the
greatest
need
and
that
are
the
most
vulnerable
and
at
improving
risk
that
were
were
maybe
not
reaching
I,
don't
know.
G
The
one
thing
I'll
say
that
we
did
this
summer
working
with
Rashaad
cope.
We
did
about
a
month
month
and
a
for
those
bring
together
all
the
summer
jobs
providers,
because
you
know
counselors
the
CD
hires
over
three
thousand
thirty
one
hundred,
but
there's
eleven
thousand
total
in
this
in
the
Mara
summer
jobs
program,
and
so
we
brought
together
the
pic
John
Hancock,
some
of
the
private
folks
who
are
doing
things,
the
hospital's
to
really
understand
who
was
being
served
and
sort
of
identify,
gaps
and
part
of
the
gaps.
G
To
be
honest,
is
young
people
who
may
in
this
speaks
to
those
young
people
who
have
some
sort
of
connection
to
the
juvenile
justice
system.
It's
a
difficult,
it's
difficult
to
get
them
access
to
certain
opportunities,
and
so
one
of
the
things
we
realizes
there's
certain
employers
will
do
certain
things,
but
it's
a
it's
a
gap
for
us.
G
G
G
N
G
N
E
Tell
you,
the
kids
that
we
tried
to
tag.
It
are
very
much
like
the
kids.
You
say,
kids
are
on
the
good
and
I
would
say
good
kids,
the
kids
who
are
connected,
like
we
work
with
the
YMCA.
They
give
a
hundred
free
membership
week
camps
and
we
make
it
clear
to
people
like
Jorge,
Diaz
George
get
the
kids
that
really
are
in
desperate
need
of
needing
the
camp.
So
you
know
that
those
are
the
type
of
kids
we
really
try
to
reach.
You
know,
especially
when
we
have
like
the
junior
police
academy
yeah.
E
N
Right
and
just
before
my
time
wraps
I
want
to
ask
some
more
one
more
question
on
the
the
opportunity
side
of
things
and
then
a
trauma
question:
are
we
able
to
track
if
these
summer
jobs
are
resulting
in
employment
in
the
long
run?
So
my
life
was
changed
by
an
internship
that
ultimately
led
to
a
job
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
what
we
can
do.
I,
don't
know
if
there's
an
evaluative
tool
where,
if
our
youth
performed
very
well
on
a
job,
maybe
they're
guaranteed
multi-year.
N
G
Absolutely
and
someone
that,
briefly,
what
I'll
share
with
you
is
we
added
a
component
this
year-
and
this
has
been
important
to
me
well
before
I
got
into
this
seat-
that
these
job
opportunities
were
meaningful
opportunities
that
then
create
pathways,
and
so
we
embedded
a
couple
of
things
this
year
to
just
pilot
some
opportunities
around
financial
literacy,
earning
college
credit
relationship,
building
training
for
supervisors.
So
it's
not
just
you're
in
an
opportunity
for
X
amount
of
weeks
you
get
a
paycheck
and
that's
where
it
ends.
G
These
other
support
systems
then
create
some
of
those
pathways,
so
that
added
pilot
with
some
of
the
data
we've
collected,
there's
been
data
collected
from
the
pic
and
Yee
and
John
Hancock
that
sort
of
links
back
to
outcomes.
So
we
have
data.
That's
sort
of
collected
before
that'll
be
collected
again
this
summer.
I
would
suggest
that
we
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
being
clear
of
what
we
want.
Those
outcomes
to
be
and
link
back
sort
of
the
programming,
but
that's
on
track
of
what
we
want
to
do.
G
N
And
then
my
last
question
is
on
trauma
and
how
we
are
realigning
a
better
coordinating
efforts
both
to
meet
the
need.
You
know.
So
this
is
all
about
preventing
trauma
and
then
how
do
we
treat
it
and
at
every
level
so
for
families
who
have
someone
is
a
non
fatal
victim
or
who
have
lost
someone
and
then
back
to
the
data
point.
You
know
we
have
this
three
one,
one
where
people
can
take
a
picture
and
say
you
know,
there's
a
pothole
or
we
want
a
bike
rack
or
we
want
that.
H
H
H
N
Close
through
the
reason
why
I
think
the
chair
for
his
indulgence
and
the
makers
of
this
order
for
this
extra
time
but
and
I
was
speaking
sort
of
half-joking,
referencing
3-1-1,
but
I
do
think
you
know
the
the
the
protocols
in
the
system
doesn't
work
if
people's
access
to
services
is
based
on
who
they
know
to
call
okay,
because
there
needs
to
be
more
of
a
general
understanding
and
so
I.
Just
wonder
if
there
is
a
budget
relative
to
marketing
and
outreach,
you
know,
could
we
have
things
in
bus
shelters?
O
G
N
G
Is
that
we
are
in
the
process
of
Public
Safety,
neighborhood
services
and
HHS,
exploring
the
ability
to
have
you
call
3-1-1
to
access
trauma
services?
So
we
are.
We
work
we're
working
on
that
as
we
speak,
we're
trying
to
work
through
a
couple
details
and
there's
folks
in
the
audience
doing
more
work
on
it
than
me,
but
we
are
trying
to
do
that.
So
it's
simple
right.
G
There's
a
number
here
and
I
have
a
card,
but
I
have
to
look
at
the
card
to
know
the
number
three
one
one
you're
gonna
remember
and
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
if
there's
a
way
to
do
that
similar
way.
The
way
we
do
it
right
now
around
a
substance
used
to
recovery,
you
can
call
3-1-1
and
get
a
warm
handoff
we're
trying
to
figure
that
out
as
well,
but
regardless
I
think
mark
spoke
to
this.
E
Is
that
we
give
out
at
the
scene
to
a
lot
of
people
that
Reverend
Scott
and
the
trauma
team
has
given
to
us?
So
when
we're
at
the
scene,
we
are
giving
people
pamphlets
and
cards
my
we
have
a
box
of
we're
also
reaching
out
to
people
who
might
be
impacted,
who
you
know
by
the
time
they
get.
There
might
have
gone
left
to
see.
Okay.
N
And
then
a
thing
I
would
say
about
that
campaign,
obviously
just
making
sure
that
it's
multilingual
because
we
make
you
know
there
are
communities
disproportionately
impacted
by
violence,
but
it
is
moving.
It
is
growing,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
access
to
those
services
is
being
translated.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Presley
that'll,
do
it
for
the
first
panel
I
just
on
behalf
of
the
City
Council.
Thanks
for
all
you,
the
data,
the
information,
you
know,
the
stick-to-itiveness
that
you
all
have
for
this
summer
and
you
know
whatever
God,
you
pray
to,
let's
hope
for
a
safe
summer
and
continued
continued
safety
for
everybody.
So
we'll
we'll
let
the
first
panel
go
again.
Thank
you
very
much.
The
second
panel
is
Reverend
Willie
Broderick
Aisha,
Barnes,
Carlene,
luma,
Wendy,
Polanco
and
Samantha
Montano.
B
B
P
B
P
This
past
weekend
was
a
tumultuous
time
for
our
community
particularly
saw
events
where
almost
seventy
seven
people
were
shot
in
the
city
and
four
of
those
were
right
down
the
street
from
where
I
live
and
very
close
to
my
counselor
counselor,
Janie
and
I'm.
Here
today,
as
a
community
partner,
as
a
minister
and
as
a
layperson,
but
also
as
a
concerned,
resident
to
contribute
to
a
transparent
and
comprehensive
solution
to
violence
in
our
community
to
ensure
safety
for
all
of
our
citizens
serving
as
associate
pastor,
12th
Baptist
Church
has
been
a
great
blessing
and
weekly.
P
We
are
walking
throughout
our
community
as
you've
heard,
as
many
of
you
have
joined
and
share
with
us,
along
with
community
persons
with
Boston
Police
Department
with
electus,
and
so
many
others
in
our
neighborhood
trying
to
share
the
love
and
peace
that
we
believe
comes
from
God
and
we're
also
particularly
trying
to
work
to
build
relationships
not
only
between
us
and
the
church
and
our
community,
but
also
between
law
enforcement
and
our
community
comprehensively.
And
we
know
that
we
must
continue
this
work.
And
we
know
this
work
is
important,
is
having
a
great
impact.
P
But
what
when
three
state
is
that
it's
only
a
piece
of
the
puzzle
and
we
recognize
that
it
is
not
the
end-all
be-all
and
we're
here,
because
I
really
want
us
to
think
comprehensively
about
each
institution
in
each
part
of
our
city,
thinking
critically
not
only
about
the
root
causes,
but
also
the
results
of
violence.
We
all
know
that
one
shooting
is
one
too
many
in
this
city,
and
we
know
there.
Usually
this
conversation
journeys
down
the
slippery
slope
of
blame.
P
We
know
the
work
that's
being
done
and
the
jobs
that
are
being
provided,
but
there's
so
many
other
young
people
that
live
in
my
neighborhood
that
go
to
my
church
and
there
are,
in
other
churches
and
community
organizations
and
then
schools
writ
large
that
are
not
working
and
that
are
not
having
the
access
points
to
getting
opportunities.
And
we
are
here
to
actually
advocate
so
that
those
young
people
voices
do
not
go
silent.
P
We
believe
that
there
needs
to
be
substantive
job
training
and
skills
that
I
don't
know
not
only
prepare
them
for
profession
or
for
for
gate
or
vocation,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
these
young
people
are
being
serviced,
comprehensive,
that
their
wraparound
services
for
them
I
suggest
that
recognizing
that
there's
a
gap
that
the
City
Council
consider
in
the
budget
of
next
year,
putting
their
grace
funds
or
considering
a
line
item
to
go
directly
to
that
gap.
Age.
P
The
next
thing,
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
clear
that
it's
it's
three
o'clock
and
this
began
at
one
o'clock,
I
heard
very
clearly
that
there's
a
call
for
community
but
I
have
to
let
you
know,
counsel
that
this
is
not
the
time
to
connect
to
community
I.
Thank
you
all
and
I
think
the
Commissioner
and
all
those
who
work
for
the
city,
but
most
of
the
people
that
need
to
be
here.
P
That
need
to
be
heard,
and
usually
it
is
adults
that
are
having
conversations
about
them.
But
I
think
we
should
have
a
youth,
particularly
a
youth,
only
hearing
just
for
young
people
to
talk
no
adults.
Nobody
else
just
to
hear
the
voices
of
young
people
and
I
ask
that
we
do
that
and
we
think
about
doing
that
before
this
summer
ends
one
other
things.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
is
mentioned
before
my
comments
come
to
a
close
is
that
we
are
not
reactive
to
violence.
P
I
usually
feel
like
in
the
city
a
lot
of
times.
We
come
together
in
a
haste
because
things
start
to
happen,
but
that
can't
be
our
strategy
and
I
have
to
say
even
to
our
Commissioner
walks
with
us
weekly.
We
have
to
open
up
the
access
for
the
strategy
plan
to
be
engaged
with
community
and
so
on.
The
solutions
I
suggest
is
that
this
council
think
about
promoting
or
proposing
a
community
violence
task
force
that
works
year-round.
P
Some
of
the
questions
that
have
been
asked
by
councillors
could
have
been
answered
by
a
community
task
force
that
has
been
working
on
this
issue,
not
when
it's
May
and
it's
about
to
get
hot,
but
in
January,
but
in
October
in
the
fall
and
the
winter
before
things
get
here.
We
know
the
numbers
we
can
trace
this
back
10
years,
but
we
can
do
a
better
job
as
a
city
to
build
about
to
bring
about
comprehensive
partners.
I
would
love
to
see
Boston
Public
Schools
here
at
this
hearing.
P
This
is
a
issue
that
connects
throughout
every
aspect
of
our
lives
and
I'm,
asking
from
each
and
every
one
of
you
who
have
committed
to
this
work
to
help
us
bring
about
a
community
task
force
for
violence
that
involves
our
health
care
professionals
that
involves
advocates.
That
involves
youth
that
involves
our
clergy,
our
lay
persons
and
involves
our
police
that
destabilizes
this
very
parochial
approach
towards
doing
the
strategy
I
walked
in
this
evening
and
I
ended
this
morning.
P
This
afternoon,
excuse
me
and
I
saw
downstairs
the
development
plans
for
the
housing,
Innovation
Lab,
and
what
I
know
about
the
development
plans
is
that
there
is
open
access
for
the
public
to
comment,
but
also
to
give
their
suggestions
to
those
developers.
The
same
can
happen
with
the
issues
of
violence
in
the
city
that
we
need
to
open
and
create
an
accessible
opportunity
for
the
public
to
engage.
That
means
we
need
to
shift
times.
P
That
means
we
need
to
be
very
transparent
with
what
we're
doing,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
each
and
every
person
that
is
serious
here
at
the
table
I'll
concede
at
this
time.
My
time
but
I.
Thank
you
all
for
allowing
me
to
speak
and
I'll
be
very
happy
to
answer
any
questions
moving
forward.
Thank.
Q
Are
you
I'm
a
abarnes
and
I'm,
currently
the
case
manager
and
oversee
this
tri
forward
program
at
in
common
Square
area?
As
myself,
a
young
person
who
grew
up
in
the
Franklin
Field
housing
development
I
was
like
so
many
of
us
have
been
in
a
situation
where
I
was
a
person
who
witnessed
violence
is
a
very
young
age.
13
years
old
I
saw
my
best
friend
shot
and
killed
in
front
of
my
face,
so,
of
course,
being
in
this
work
being
able
to
give
back
to
my
community.
Q
This
is
an
absolute
honor
to
be
able
to
work
with
the
young
people
in
the
community.
What
we
do
at
strive
is
try
to
provide
all
the
things
that
we
talked
about
earlier:
certifications,
job
paths,
education,
supportive
services,
reengagement
into
school,
alternative
school
plans,
because
most
of
our
young
people
that
come
to
us
may
have
dropped
out
and
may
have
been
in
a
situation
and
don't
kind
of
know
or
the
parents
don't
have
the
guidance
to
make
sure
that
that
young
people
are
going
back
to
school
or
maybe
the
school
is
not
right
for
them.
Q
So
that
is
an
huge
issue,
but
getting
the
young
people
certifications
and
Microsoft
Word
Excel,
PowerPoint
and
connected
them,
some
actual
employers
that
will
hire
them
because
of
those
certifications
making
sure
they
have
in
a
very
simplistic
certifications
like
CPR,
first
aid
and
AED,
so
they
can
gain
not
only
summer
employment
but
year-round
employment,
I
think
the
biggest
struggle
that
we
have
and
see
at
Shrive.
Is
you
know:
parents
we
have
our
young
people,
we
get
our
referrals
from
Boston
Public
Schools.
Q
We
get
it
from
the
court
system,
but
we
haven't
those
young
people
that
are
14
15
16
17
years
old.
The
parents
are
not
as
engaged
as
they
should
be
so
getting
them
to.
Fellow
our
documentation
can
be
difficult.
Getting
to
gain
the
documentation
from
the
parents
can
be
very,
very
difficult.
So
that's
the
biggest
struggle
that
we
see
I.
Think
a
lot
of
our
parents
are
uneducated.
Q
They
don't
they're
not
aware
of
what's
available
to
them
and
they're,
not
they
don't
trust
the
adults
that
are
giving
providing
services
to
our
young
people
I
think
we're
we're
on
the
right
path
by
protecting
by
providing
jobs
and
certifications
and
giving
education
support.
But
there
are
there's
so
much
that
needs
to
happen
in
our
city
for
our
young
people,
because
we
have
young
people
that
that
are
trying
to
you
know
be
successful
in
life,
but
it's
a
struggle
because
you
have
to
go
back
home
to
those
significant
problems.
Q
That
was
a
huge
struggle
for
me.
You
have
to
go
back
home
to
that
franklin
field.
Housing
development-
we
things
are
just
is
in
turmoil.
I.
Think
a
key
point
is
making
sure
that
we're
taking
a
young
people
out
of
the
city,
because
that's
something
that
saved
my
life,
knowing
that
there
was
a
world
outside
of
Boston
that
you
needed
to
be
able
to
get
to.
In
order
to
do
that,
you
need
to
go
to
school,
you
need
it
to
be.
You
know
better
in
your
life
and
do
better
things
and
make
better
decisions.
Q
I,
don't
offer
any
solution
but
to
just
try
to
continue
to
work
with
the
young
people
in
a
young
person
that
walks
through
my
door,
they're,
not
only
a
member
for
whatever
time
the
length
of
the
programming
is
their
lifetime.
Member
to
me,
I
make
sure
that
my
phone
is
available
to
them.
I
make
sure
that
it
doesn't
stop
at
five
o'clock
when
the
office
closes.
A
R
Afternoon,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Charlene
luma
and
I'm.
The
program
director
of
the
boss
of
trauma
response
program,
it's
justice,
Resource
Institute,
also
known
as
jri
so
I,
know,
you've
heard
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
work
that
the
trauma
teams
been
doing
them
talk
specifically
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
at
the
Bosma
trauma
response
program.
So
the
Boston
trauma
response
program
provides
rapid
response
to
homicide
affecting
young
people
13
to
24
years
old.
We
provide
short
term
case
management,
coping
groups,
psychological
first
aid
as
well
as
ongoing
therapy.
R
The
team
consists
of
licensed,
ranged
clinical
masters
level
clinicians
as
well
as
volunteers,
and
we
are
available
24/7,
as
you
heard
earlier,
and
the
staff
has
a
capacity
to
respond
to
emergencies
within
30
minutes.
I
wanted
to
thank
the
council
for
highlighting
the
need
for
trauma
response
services
and
committing
to
ensure
that
individuals
in
the
city
of
Boston
have
the
resources
they
need
to
receive
the
services
following
a
traumatic
event.
Youth
and
families
often
feel
helpless,
confused
and
an
emotional
shock.
R
They
are
confronted
with
the
situation,
they're,
often
not
prepared
for
and
unsure
what
the
next
steps
are.
So
our
teens
are
really
there
to
help
support
with
the
follow
up
next
steps,
particularly
when
you're
dealing
with
what
I
would
call
them.
Probably
the
most
I
think
anyone
has
the
experience
to
lose
a
loved
one
to
homicide.
R
We
provide
the
necessary
immediate
services
that
are
available
to
support
it
to
families
in
crisis
until
they're
ready
to
manage
these
things
on
their
own,
so
until
they're
able
to
access
their
natural
resources
and
supports.
We
currently
receive
funding
from
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
Massachusetts
office
of
victim
assistance.
We
were
established
in
2015
and
have
since
served
over
1,500
individuals
as
well
as
providing
over
a
hundred
responses.
Responses
include
funerals
coping
groups,
vigils
home
visits,
as
well
as
just
individual
one-on-one
sessions.
R
Individuals,
who've
worked
with
us,
have
received
case
management
services,
psychological
first
aid,
stabilization
advocacy
and
referrals
to
other
community
resources.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
before
the
council
in
October
2015,
and
at
that
time
we
requested
that
the
council
consider
the
need
for
clouded
a
collaborative
coordinated
response
to
services
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Since
that
time,
we've
partnered
with
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission,
in
an
effort
to
address
that
specific
need.
R
Our
program
currently
works
with
the
Commission
in
the
neighborhood
trauma
teams
to
provide
a
continuum
of
services
and
within
the
continuum
we
have
again
case
management
services
on
scene,
Crisis,
Response
and,
additionally,
we're
adding
a
cohort
of
about
20
people
that
will
be
available
to
respond
to
on-scene
crisis
response
to
homicide
and,
in
addition
to
just
making
sure
that
we
have
these
individuals
available.
One
of
the
things
that
each
person
who's
part
of
this
cohort
is
going
to
receive
is
training.
R
That
includes
psychological
first
aid,
as
well
as
understanding
what
trauma
really
is
as
well
as
how
do
you
take
care
of
yourself
right?
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
people
doing
that
this
work
are
able
to
do
it
for
some
time.
So
we
think
about
longevity.
We
think
about
sustainability,
and
that
includes
supervision
as
well
as
techniques
and
coping
skills
for
yourself.
R
So
it's
a
partnership
that
we
have
with
the
Commission
has
allowed
the
trauma
team
to
enhance
our
services
and
really
allowing
us
a
response
to
a
broader
group
of
folks.
So
when
we
think
about
the
people
we
want
to
target,
it's
not
just
homicide
survivors,
it's
people
who
are
victims
of
non-fatal
shootings
and
injuries.
We,
because
what
we
do
know
is
that
those
victims
will
become
those
homicide
victims
so
once
you're
a
victim
of
an
injury
sustained
by
either
shooting
of
gunshot
wound
or
stabbing
you're.
R
R
So
currently,
we've
partnered
with
many
organizations
but
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
time
to
highlight
our
partners
that
are
really
vital
to
the
work
we
worked
collaboratively
with
the
street
workers
I'm
their
vital
part
in
us
doing
the
work
they
really
kind
of
have
the
street
knowledge
that
we
need
to
identify
the
victims
and
survivors
who
need
the
services.
We
work
closely
with
the
Lewis
D
Brown
Peace
Institute,
as
well
as
the
PIM
project,
the
Boston
Police
Department,
and
the
DA's
offices,
who
provide
ongoing
services
through
their
Victim
Witness
programs.
R
So
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
and
provide
trauma,
services,
I
would
like
to
encourage
the
counselors
to
support
the
following
recommendations:
a
streamlined
notification
system
for
incidents
related
to
homicides,
particularly
those
that
was
a
non-fatal
injuries.
Sorry,
particularly
those
who
result
in
non-fatal
injuries.
There
has
been
some
difficulty
accessing
those
individuals.
R
When
there's
a
homicide
survivor,
we
can
identify
them
either
through
our
partner
agencies
or
the
lowest
eprint
BD
brown
pieces
issue,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
method
in
order
to
identify
those
who
are
victims
of
non-fatal
injuries
and
ongoing
support
for
trauma
response
service
providers.
So
again
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
have
the
resources
and
tools
that
they
need
in
order
to
do
this
work
long-term,
it's
not
easy
work
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
have
the
resources
they
actually
deserve
and
I'm.
R
S
We
have,
we
do
have
a
safety
committee
in
our
residency,
but
I
feel
sometimes
that
we
go
in
and
we
talk
and
we
cry
to
the
police
and
to
everybody.
Yes,
we
have
made
progress
with
the
police
and
we
have
a
lot
of
policing
around
it.
They
just
don't
come
out
of
the
car
and
shower
the
residents.
They
would
like
to
see
that
now
they
having
more
interact
with
the
police
instead
of
oh
he's
standing
there
something
happened,
there's
a
shooting,
there's
a
stabbing.
What
happened?
S
Why
he's
standing
there
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
shootings,
especially
at
the
beginning
of
May.
There
was
two
dead
people,
but
also
it
could
have
been
for
your
shot
as
well
that
nobody
mentioned,
but
we
dealing
with
that
family
and
it's
heartbreaking,
because
if
we
don't
feel
safe,
we
gotta
pay
rent,
we
gotta
do
we
gotta
go
to
work,
we
gotta
send
the
kids
to
school
and
then
come
home
running
to
lock
herself
in
our
house.
I,
don't
think
nobody
should
live
like
that.
S
I've
been
working
with
will
from
PC
YF.
He
wants
to
come
in
because
I
know
that
we
shouldn't
be
putting
a
lot
of
people
into
jail
and
I
know
some
of
those
people
ages
around,
because
my
father
did
my
my
son
is
gonna:
do
it
knife
is
gonna,
do
it
and
everybody's
gonna
do
it
know
it
gotta
end
for
that
many
resources
for
that
we
need
job
training
for
kids,
not
only
at
13,
because
we
see
in
10
and
9
year
old.
S
They
cannot
move,
they
cannot
pass
because
all
the
gang
members
are
sitting
there
drinking
and
smoking
and
they're
afraid
to
come
out.
Those
are
elderly
people
that
shouldn't
be
living
like
that.
So
to
me
is
like
we
need
funding.
We
need
to
bring
those
kids,
we
need
to
give
them
opportunity.
We
have
sent
kids
to
DC.
There
are
related
to
gang
in
both,
so
they
could
see
something
outside
of
where
they
live,
because
we
don't
want
to
lock
them
up
in
Mildred
Haley.
We
want
them
to
see
the
world
as
safe.
S
We,
they
went
to
New
York
as
well
to
a
program
with
the
police.
I
know
the
commissioner
said
they
have,
but
a
lot
of
people
don't
feel
safe,
sending
their
kids
to
come
with
the
police
because
of
everything
that's
happening
right
now
with
the
police,
so
I'm
like
we
trying
to
do
a
Youth
Center,
so
kids
could
come
tow
mayor
said
that
he
would
support
that.
Hopefully
he
come
through
and
support
that,
but
meanwhile
people
are
getting
afraid
because
summer
is
coming.
Last
summer
we
have
almost
two
kids
togashi
thank
God.
They
didn't.
S
T
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
Samantha
Nathanial
I
work
at
the
Jamaica
Plain
Neighborhood,
Development
Corporation
and
through
there
I
am
work
with
Wendy
at
the
mill
DC
Hayley
apartments
that
was
Bromley
Heath.
Before
so.
For
five
years
we
received
funding
from
Boston
Children's
Hospital
to
do
a
youth
leadership
program.
This
is
its
last
year,
I'm,
pretty
sure
we're
going
to
get
more
funding
again,
but
we're
currently
in
the
fifth
year
and
since
I've
been
doing
that
program
with
the
youth,
such
as
the
past
three
years.
T
We,
the
projects
that
the
youth
have
wanted
to
address,
have
consisted
of
violence,
gang
issues
and
community
safety.
So
one
of
the
projects
they
did
was
that
unity
mural
that's
on
Bromley
Heath
on
center.
They
organized
that
this
year,
they're
going
to
be
doing
a
kind
of
like
a
youth
pop-up
night
in
the
ABCD
office,
which
is
a
which
was
formerly
the
cave,
a
youth
center
in
Bromley,
Heath
and
they're,
inviting
a
bunch
of
youth
in
the
neighborhood
to
come
out.
T
Some
things
that
have
come
to
light
working
with
youth
in
the
Bromley
Heath,
Miller,
C,
Haley
neighborhood-
is
that
a
lot
of
the
youth
this
past
year,
especially
have
been
closely
connected
and
closely
impacted
by
the
shootings
and
deaths
and
bromley
heat.
So
access
to
these
jobs
and
these
summer
opportunities
for
youth,
who
don't
want
to
leave
their
house
and
who
are
afraid
to
be
in
crowds,
is
really
difficult.
T
Programs
or
the
camps
consist
of
large
groups
of
children
and
right
now,
I
know
a
handful
of
youth
who
just
don't
feel
comfortable
being
in
large
crowds,
similar
to
what
Wendy
said
as
far
as
community
service
officers
and
to
make
a
plan
with
a
13,
we
have
five
great
community
service
officers,
but
those
officers
aren't
the
ones
who
show
up
when
incidents
happen.
It's
other
officers
who
haven't
interacted
with
the
community
and
might
not
be
as
sensitive
and
ice
tuned
in
to
the
needs
of
the
community.
T
So
if
we
can
get
more
funding
for
more
community
service
officers,
that
would
be
great
and
more
training
for
police
officers
who
are
going
to
be
working
in
that
part
of
the
neighborhood
and
understands
the
issues
and
the
needs
and
how
to
react
and
how
to
be
more
trauma-informed
when
responding
to
things
that
happen
on
the
weekends
or
things
happened.
Late
at
night,
like
Wendy
said
we
need,
and
everyone
else
has
said.
T
I
didn't
realize
that
there
were
DCYF
centers
that
were
open,
til,
11:00
or
midnight
and
or
boys
and
girls
centers,
and
to
make
a
plan
I.
Don't
think
we
have
anything
open
that
late
so
having
something
open,
that
late
would
be
great
and
then
I
know
that
I've
gone
out
with
youth
when
they
get
donations
for
Boston,
Red,
Sox
tickets
and
I've,
like
their
parents,
will
kneel
up
and
come
if
I
agree
to
walk
them
home.
So
then
I'm
walking
kids
home
late
at
night
too,
and
that's
that's
the
necessity.
T
We
need
people
who
are
willing
to
safely
walk
use
home
to
their
houses
and
wait
till
they
get
in
and
then
even
when
they
get
in
it's
not
it.
It's
not
assured
that
they'll
make
it
through
the
hallway
safety
safely.
You
know
so
addressing
safety
outside
the
building,
but
also
inside
the
building
in
Bromley
Heath.
As
far
as
the
trauma
process,
I
think
it
can
be
a
little
unwieldy.
T
Unwieldly
we've
had
bromley
heath,
neighbor
partners,
meetings
where
several
different
people
are
offering
trauma,
resources,
but
they're
not
all
together,
and
they
don't
make
sense
and
they're
not
in
a
streamlined
process,
and
so
we
don't
know
who
does
this
work
reliably
and
who
can
be
connected
with
the
community?
Well
and
who
does
it
through
the
city?
Who
does
it
through
the
neighborhood
and
how
those
two
things
are
combined?
G
B
Mr.
chairman,
thank
you
all
for
your
incredible
work.
Some
of
you
have
known
for
years,
others
I'm
getting
to
know,
but
I'm
really
impressed
with
all
of
your
level
of
commitment
and
your
incredible
work,
I
think
to
serve
our
community.
It's
remarkable
and
I'm
really
grateful
that
you
could
share
with
us.
B
The
purpose
sometimes
of
these
hearings,
as
many
of
you
know,
is
to
get
ideas
to
generate
things.
There's
no
bill
before
us.
There's
no
ordinance.
We
wanted
to
solicit
feedback
and
want
to
hear
some
more
from
the
public
next,
but
one
thing
I'd
like
to
do
and
I'll
propose
it
to
all
of
you.
Anyone
can
jump
in
the
fields.
Free
is
to
think
of
one
concrete
idea
that
we
can
do
going
forward
and
say:
I'm
just
had
one
that
I'm
gonna
steal
from
you
already,
because
I
think
it's
funny.
That's
absolutely
right.
B
We
do
often
segregate
our
kids
at
risk,
not
at
risk
and
that's
not
a
healthy
model
or
a
particularly
successful
model.
So,
as
we
talk
about
sort
of
allocating
funds
for
B
cyf
programming,
making
sure
we
have
resources
for
community
centers
to
stay
open
later,
the
transportation
piece
that
I
think
will
Morales,
perhaps
Reverend
Scott
talked
about
earlier-
is
another
crucial
one
as
well
to
make
sure
that
we
can
get
a
kid
home
safely
after
he
or
she
stays
out.
So
is
there
anyone
that
they
can
think
of
just
not
it's
not
sort
of
generalized.
B
P
I
think
excuse
me:
Reverend
will
do
budget
again,
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
I
think
hearing
the
children
isn't
important.
I
think
that's
actionable
right
now,
I
think
literally.
If
you
call
all
the
schools
and
said,
look
we're
gonna
have
a
meeting
next
week,
a
B,
C
and
D.
We're
gonna
provide
some
food
opportunities
to
listen
to
you
all
that
that
can
happen.
P
I
also
think
that
there
seems
like
there
is
some
institutional
disjoining
and
it's
only
happening
in
these
meetings,
but
they're
not
happening
in
the
spaces
where
the
children
are,
and
so
literally
just
going
to
the
high
school
and
having
sessions
about
what
resources
are
available
to
our
young
people
could
go
a
long
way
and
I
know
that
sometimes
we're
having
a
lack
of
parental
involvement,
but
sometimes
just
directly
going
to
the
children
and
say
you
know
what
miss
so-and-so.
Mr
songz.
P
Okay,
can
we
take
30
minutes
or
20
minutes
of
your
time
or
take
20
minutes
of
this
day
to
talk
about
the
resources
that
we
have
available?
Give
packets
I
know
we
can
do
some
things
to
really
get
right
in
front
of
our
young
people's
faces
and
really
talk
to
this
also
I
think
we
could
be
thinking
about
some
some
conflict
resolution
practices
that
can
be
implemented
in
our
school
systems
as
well
as
in
our
communities.
P
We
need
to
know
where
our
children
are
I
think
there
are
too
many
children
that
are
lost
in
the
numbers
and
they
fall
through
the
cracks
and
we're
not
traveling
and
tracking
them
to
where
they
are,
and
we
can
actually
identify
who
some
of
these
young
people
are
where
they
are,
what
they're
doing
and
if
we
know
where
they're,
either
veering
or
they're
on
a
particular
track.
Let's
try
to
disrupt
that
right
where
it
is,
and
so
I
think
a
lot
of
times
we're
letting
people
you
fall
through
those
cracks.
P
We
need
to
do
a
better
job
tracking,
our
young
people
and
I
think
some
institutional
collaboration
to
making
sure
that
our
teachers,
our
police
officers,
our
our
councils,
whoever
it
is
working
with
our
young
people,
are
talking
to
one
another
because
there's
one
thing,
they're
talking
a
meeting
and
we
all
take
a
lot
of
notes.
But
those
know
parents
are
in
the
office
on
the
shelves.
You
know
we're
giving
to
staff
it's
another
thing
to
really
directly
connect
those
people
how
things
got
to
be
great.
Thank
you.
B
In
the
other,
I
agree
with
you
100%
on
all
those
issues,
and
the
other
thing
is
sometimes
we
talk
to
ourselves
so
to
sort
of
get
out.
I
think
you
use
the
term
institutional
disjoint
I
like
idle
you're
right
you're,
a
hundred
percent
right.
We
all
agree
on
these
things.
We
can
have
good
ideas,
but
to
get
to
the
right
audience,
it's
gonna
be
the
most
impactful.
Thank.
R
That
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time,
speaking
specifically
about
the
youth,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
looking
at
a
larger
age
range.
And
don't
quote
me
on
this,
but
I
believe
that
average
homicide
victim
age
was
26
right.
So
that's
outside
of
that
24
year
old
that
we're
we're
focusing
on
so
thinking
about
summer
programs.
What
about
kind
of
programs
for
older
adults
who
are
kind
of
that?
R
Those
adults
who
are
kind
of
in-between
who
need
programming
and
who
are
young
people
look
up
to
and
who
are
getting
involved
in
the
violence
and
who
are
perpetuating
the
violence?
I!
Think
that
when
we
look
at
a
plan
it
should
be
comprehensive.
So,
let's
think
about
the
little
young
ones,
but
also
thinking
about
the
other
folks
that
are
coming
out
of
the
system
and
who
need
jobs
and
who
need
a
place
to
live
because
and
who
are
kind
of
being
impacted
by
the
opioid
epidemic.
B
That's
great
that
you're
a
very
good
point
as
well.
We
don't
want
to
direct
too
many
resources.
You
know
there
are
a
lack
of
resources
because
of
you
know
an
age
range
that
we
may
not
be
as
focused
on
as
we
should
be.
Thank
you.
Anyone
else!
Okay!
Well,
thank
you!
That's
all
I
have
for
this
round.
Thank
You!
Mr.
chairman.
Thank
you,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
Thompson
Janey
thank.
C
C
Our
young
people
need
to
be
at
the
table,
so
I
really
appreciate
you
continuing
to
push
on
that
and
and
really
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
continue
these
conversations
so
that
it
isn't
just
a
one-off
I
also
agree
that
our
young
people
are
very
segregated,
I'm,
not
I.
Don't
think
you
made
that
comment,
and
you
know
that
happens
in
our
neighborhoods
that
happens
in
our
schools.
C
Some
we
say
need
to
be
over
on
this
side
receiving
these
types
of
supports
and
services
and
others
you
know,
have
greater
opportunity,
and
so
we
certainly
need
to
do
much
more
to
make
sure
that
there's
more
integration
and
that
all
of
our
young
people
have
opportunity.
So
I.
Thank
you
for
all
of
that.
C
You
know
I'm
really
kind
of
moved
by
this
panel,
in
particular,
I
think
the
last
panel
was
great
and-
and
we
knew
we
would
hear
from
police
and
and
folks,
but
to
have
you
know,
residents
here,
I
think
that
is
definitely
what
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
incorporating
in
this
hearing
and
and
making
sure
that
we
were
getting
to
solutions
and
so
I
think
moving
forward.
You
know
it
would
be
important,
mr.
C
So
that
was
one
trade-off.
We
had
to
consider
I
think
the
other
thing
is
really
making
sure
that
there
was
ownership
by
this
entire
body
and
I
and
I
know
my
colleagues
care
about
this
issue,
which
is
why
you've
seen
folks
throughout
the
afternoon
at
this
hearing,
I'd
like
to
think
more
about
the
solutions
I'm
interested
kind
of
in
this
youth
forum.
I
know
there
have
been
several
youth
forums,
youth
marches
already,
where
youth
or
have
really
been
the
leaders
of
those
spaces,
as
they
should
so
I'm.
P
Think
the
council,
as
a
body,
should
hold
something
for
our
young
people.
I
think
there
has
to
be
a
qualification
of
power,
and
if
we
really
want
to
hear
our
young
people
actually
come
forward,
I
think
some
of
the
better
ideas
what
might
come
from
them,
particularly
knowing
that
they
experienced
that
which,
even
myself
being
a
thirty,
is
distant
from
and
so
I
think.
One
of
the
things
that
we
should
do
I
think
there
were
some
social
media
stuff.
P
That's
talked
about
other
things,
I
mean
there's
a
whole
nother
world
in
which
they're
operating
in
and
I'm
not
sure
that
US
adults
are
as
well
equipped
to
deal
with
and
address
the
ways
in
which
information
travels,
as
well
as
how
they
come
to
understand
the
world
in
which
they
live
in
and
so
I
think.
The
council
should
hold
a
space,
particularly
whether
you
want
to
call
a
hearing
meeting
I.
P
Think
the
name
matters
not
to
me,
but
but
literally
the
the
seriousness
it
so
engaging
them
is
what
would
I
care
about
the
most
and
making
sure
that
their
voices
are
lifted
and
are
taken
seriously
in
your
considerations.
As
you
move
forward
to
make
decisions.
C
I
think
that
mentioned
the
age
of
not
just
the
victims,
but
the
perpetrators
and
I
know.
That
is
true.
That's
true,
I
think,
there's,
you
know
a
lot
of
focus
on
young
people,
because
we
want
to
interrupt
and
do
some
prevention,
but
I
think
you
know
you
bring
up
an
important
point
around
how
we
really
are
engaging
those
folks
who
most
likely
we've
failed.
C
I
know
we
heard
some
great
testimony
earlier
and
I
saw
firsthand
the
difference
of
how
you
know
some
of
the
street
workers
were
able
to
kind
of
engage
with
neighbors
very
differently
than
how
maybe
clergy
or
others
were
able
to
engage
with
neighbors
when
experiencing
violence
in
their
community.
So
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
more
of
a
pipeline
to
to
either
become
a
street
worker
or
to
kind
of
kind
of
get
connected
in
some
other
way
to
a
a
path
forward.
C
T
C
Q
Is
it
okay
if
I
share
another
opportunity
at
strives?
So
not
only
do
we
serve
as
young
people,
we
also
have
a
18
plus
18
to
infinity
I
like
to
say
when
Canton,
when
people
call
of
those
reading
integration
services
that
we
are
talking
about.
So
it's
no
there's
no
range
on
who
can
come
in
the
building
if
you've
been
out
of
work,
sometimes
we
have
people
that
have
are
just
you
know
coming
from
reintegration.
They
need
to
get
back
to
work.
Q
We
have
people,
that's
been
on
DTA
for
quite
some
time,
but
we
provide
education
support
services.
We
have
aligned
partners
that
we
have
it's
a
five
week
program
that
runs
Monday
through
Friday
from
9:00
to
5:00.
The
idea
of
the
program
is
to
get
doats
in
that
in
the
good
habit
of
getting
ready
for
work.
So
it's
four
weeks
and
class
training
to
get
Microsoft
Word.
You
know
simplistic
training,
basic
computer
skills.
Q
They
really
focus
on
professional
development
as
well
as
address,
and
we
take
them
out
to
get
clothing,
that
we
have
a
clothing
closet,
that's
in
our
building
to
make
sure.
But
then
we
have
the
fifth
week
of
our
program
is
when
we
bring
our
Cory
friend
Liam
partners
to
the
graduates.
So
literally
they,
the
partners,
Brigham
and
Women's,
is
one
of
our
partners
just
a
newly
one
where
they
are
open
to
taking
clients
with
the
quarry.
We
have
integral
resources.
We
have
a
bunch
of
different
partners
that
at
a
cuz
the
earth
strive
graduate.
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Absolutely
so
what
we
tell
them
is
once
you're
striving,
remember,
you're,
always
a
lifetime
wimba.
So
we
get
phone
calls.
We
do
quarterly
check-ins.
We
we
have
the
relationship
with
the
employees,
so
we
can
check
in
through
the
employee,
even
if,
because
sometimes
they
get
so
busy
and
that's
good
they're
working
so,
but
we
do
follow
up
and
give
them
a
call
and
keep
in
touch.
And
then,
if
we
have
anything
new,
that's
coming
through
the
door,
we
we
invite
graduates
to
come
in
even
to
speak
to
a
new
class
at
orientation
time.
Q
C
D
Thank
You,
council,
McCarthy
and
I
enjoyed
your
comments
from
from
both
of
you
before
my
job
as
a
counselor.
I
was
a
probation
officer
at
Suffolk
Superior
and
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
strive
several
times.
Many
of
my
probation
is
attended
there
and
graduated
there
and
it's
an
excellent
program.
They
do
great
work
and
you
know
you
really
see
the
difference
of
probation
of
that
starts
that
strive
and
then
finishes
that
strive.
It
builds
self-confidence
and
really
develops
their
skills,
and
so
you
guys
do
a
great
job.
D
You
know
you
were
talking
about
the
the
age
of
a
homicide.
Victim
is
what
25
or
26
the
average
age.
Those
are
really
the
people
we
need
to
reach
and
we
may
not
be
able
to
reach
them
through
formal
schooling,
but
we
certainly
can
reach
them
and
through
you
know,
job
training,
programs
and
you
know
getting
them
on
a
path
to
getting
a
job,
getting
getting
a
career,
getting
skills.
D
This
city
is
booming
right
now
and
there
should
be
certainly
a
place
in
Boston
for
someone
that
comes
out
of
strive
so
that
they
can
get
a
good
decent
job
in
Boston.
So
that's
what
I
hope
to
focus
on
and
hopefully
I
can
work
with
you
all,
but
I
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
what
you're
doing
helping
so
many
people
across
our
city.
L
You
again
thank
you
for
being
here
this
afternoon,
just
a
couple
of
questions
on
some
of
the
things
that
were
shared
ie.
She
talked
about
the
CPR
certification.
I
am
hoping
to
get
that
done
and
make
it
a
graduation
requirement
within
the
Boston
Public
Schools.
So
three
chairs
for
that
and
I'd
love
your
help
and
thoughts
on
making
that
a
reality.
I
do
want
to
hear
a
little
bit
about
what
psychological
first
aid
is.
What
does
that
look
like
and
practice?
Oh
I'm
sorry
was
that
I'm.
R
Psychological
first
aid
is
tool
that
we
utilize
and
one
of
the
interesting
things
about
it
is
that
anyone
can
do
it
right
as
long
as
you're
trained.
So
this
doesn't
require
a
specific
degree
of
skill
set.
It's
very
intuitive,
it's
kind
of
making
sure
that
people
kind
of
have
access
to
resources
like
such
as
natural
supports
if
they
have
a
plan
for
self-care
and
that
they're
utilizing
some
coping
skills
in
the
moment
to
manage
some
physical
symptoms
that
you
may
have
that
in
response
to
a
traumatic
event
or
incident.
R
So
I
always
like
to
tell
people
when
I'm
training
them
like.
If
you
saw
there,
was
an
accident
that
took
place
in
front
of
you
what's
one
of
the
first
and
this
you
would
do
you'd,
probably
walk
over
and
see
if
the
person
needed
help
and
that's
how
it
starts
right.
You
asked
if
they
need
help.
Yes,
if
there's
anything
that
they
need
and
then
get
them
access
to
those
resources.
R
So
we
like
to
make
sure
that
people
who
are
on
the
trauma
teams
have
that
skill
set
so
that
we've
all
been
trained
in
psychological
first
aid.
Thousands
of
people
across
the
city
of
Boston
have
also
been
trained
through
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission
and
all
of
you
guys
can
be
trained
as
well
again.
It
really
allows
us
to
really
stabilize
people
when
they're
kind
of
feeling,
like
they're
having
a
difficult
time.
R
And
I
know
in
the
past
that
there
has
been
I,
don't
know
what
the
recent
members
look
like.
That's
more
of
a
question
for
the
permission.
I
know
that
they've
done
a
lot
of
good
work
around
that
previously,
but
currently
our
partners
through
the
neighborhood
trauma
team,
so
the
CBO's,
the
health
centers.
All
of
those
members
have
been
trained
and
on
Monday
we're
looking
to
Train
20
community
members
who
have
signed
up
for
this
on-call
cohort.
It's.
L
Great
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
sharing
that
I.
Think
the
introduction
to
anyone
who
might
be
watching
from
home
I'm
just
sharing
that
little
bit
of
information
could
be
helpful.
And
then
you
also
talked
about
the
streamlining
of
notification
for
non-fatal
injuries
or
incidences.
Does
some?
Is
there
a
city
that
does
this
not.
R
R
So
I'm
just
wondering
what
is
what
would
that
look
like
if
we
had
a
better
streamlined
notification
process
so
that
if
there
is
somebody
who
is
a
victim
of
a
shooting
or
stabbing
and
does
go
to
the
hospital,
the
hospitals
do
kind
of
provide
those
services.
But
what?
If
they
don't
want
to
receive
the
services
from
the
hospital?
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
access
to
those
individuals
in
the
community.
R
L
I'd
be
curious
to
know
and
do
a
little
research.
You
know
we
talk
a
lot
about
the
benefits
of
the
community
policing
model
that
we
use
here
in
the
city,
but
recognize
that
there
are
a
lot
of
gaps
and,
but
you
know
maybe
some
of
this
is
happening
somewhere
else
right-
that
we
could
duplicate
or
replicate
in
a
way
that
works
right.
L
L
Because
we
often
hear
of
too
many
stories
where
there
is
eventually
a
fatal
incident
that
involves
someone,
who's
been
involved
and
not
non-fatal
and
is
prior
and
then
the
conversation
around
the
community
task
force.
I,
think
that's
you
know
doing
anything
12
months,
so
that
it's
both
it
can
act
reactively.
The
way
that
we
are
I
think
today
in
in
so
many
ways,
but
it
can
be
a
very
proactive
organization,
like
you
said.
How
do
you
keep
the
some
of
the
politics
from
out
of
that?
Because
in
this
city?
L
P
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
just
be
conscious
of
is
that
we're
not
meeting
the
same
people
all
the
time
and
so
I
think
some
of
that
is
saying
you
know
what
maybe,
if
we
create
a
task
force
that
is
limit
based
in
your
time
limit.
You
know,
there's
a
temporal
timeline,
maybe
two
years
service,
and
then
you
can't
come
back
on
to
this
council
until
somebody
else
new
is
refreshed
and
I
think
there
are
different
ways
to
go
about
it.
P
I
mean
I,
think
you
can't
avoid
the
politics
of
it,
but
I
do
think.
I
haven't
gone
open
and
honest
and
transparent
process
would
be
the
best
part
of
creating
that
that
type
of
a
network
and
I
think
there's
certain
people
or
certain
institutions
of
a
part
of
the
city
structure.
That
should
be
there,
no
matter
what
and
so
I
think
some.
P
Some
of
that
is
just
what
representative
will
be
there
from
you
know:
City
Council
or
from
you
know,
Boston
Public,
Health
Commissioner
for
them,
whether
you
service
groups,
but
but
also
just
thinking
about
how
do
we
get
more
and
more
names
called
because
I'm,
a
great
advocate,
I
work
with
many
of
these
organizations
in
my
work
at
the
attorney
general's
office,
but
but
I
do
know
that
if
we
continue
to
think
critically
about
how
do
we
get
more
and
more
people
involved,
and
even
thinking
about
committees
within
that
you're
gonna
be
able
to
I
think
you
know
just
lift
the
load
a
little
bit
lighter,
but
I
think
some
of
that
we're
gonna
have
to
just
deal
with
the
politics,
but
others.
P
L
P
If
there's
one
thing,
I
would
suggest
from
even
the
city
to
think
critically
about
the
responses
to
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
always
feel
that
they
have
the
voice
or
don't
always
feel
they
have
access
to
power
and
really
just
take
that
second
step
back
to
think
critically.
That's
sometimes
the
angst
and
anger
is
coming
from
a
real
place
and
not
really
a
personal
attack.
You
just
happen
to
be
in
the
office
to
do
the
work,
so
we
thank
you
all.
We
really
do.
P
Thank
you
all,
but
I
think
we
have
to
just
think
comprehensively.
I'm
willing
to
to
help
yeah
I'm
always
well.
I
will
be
there
to
help
and
if,
if
the
community
sense
is
that
you
know
certain
people
should
be
on
that
task,
force
I
think
we
should
consider
that
and
and
lupine
as
many
people
as
possible.
A
Very
much
for
spending
so
much
time
with
us
and
all
the
work
that
you
do
outside
and
in
Reverend
honestly,
we'll
take
it
up.
We
we've
we've
had
hearings,
Public
Safety
hearings
before
out
in
the
community.
We've
had
community
meetings
out
in
the
community
where
they
belong,
and
we'll
certainly
will
talk
to
the
makers
of
this
order.
It
comes
to
Janie,
it
comes
from
Ally
and
and
we'll
get
on
that
together.
So
thank
you
all
very
much.
We're
gonna
go
to
public
testimony
now.
A
As
far
as
the
sheets
public
testimony,
we
have
six
people
who
signed
up
for
public
testimony
if
you,
if
you
did
not
check
the
yes
box-
and
you
are
now
thinking
that
you
do
want
to
say
something
if
you
can
just
line
up
behind
the
people
who
are
about
to
announce
and
then
we'll
go
I'll
start
at
the
time,
we'll
have
about
two
minutes
apiece.
If
you
wouldn't
mind
to
get
your
thoughts
out,
and
so
let
me
call
up
we'll,
have
two
podiums
that'll
be
working
to
my
left
to
my
right.
A
U
U
My
name
is
Danielle
Bennett
and
I
am
one
of
the
advocates
from
the
Louis
D
Brown
Peace
Institute
I
actually
am
Disko
off
I'm,
sorry,
I'm.
Actually,
one
of
the
people
that
meet
the
families
within
the
first
24
22
hours
of
a
homicide
that
happens,
I'm
gonna,
read
a
statement
and
then
kind
of
just
really
quickly
give
them
like
a
thought.
U
So
when
a
loved
one
is
murdered,
survivors
are
confronted
with
dozens
of
decisions
about
the
funeral
and
burial
and
all
of
which
must
be
made
within
a
matter
of
days
and
under
great
emotional
stress
within
the
first
few
hours
in
days.
Survivors
will
always
also
have
dozens
of
services
providers
in
systems
to
navigate
they
may
be
of
service
providers
and
sister.
They
may
be
wondering
where
they
even
begin
at
a
time
when
survivors
are
doing
their
best
to
process
the
trauma
they're.
U
U
Call
us
survivors,
outreach
services
program
at
the
peace
Institute
at
six,
one,
seven,
eight,
two,
five
one,
nine
one:
seven,
because
I
have
a
short
time
and
I
was,
with
a
panel
and
I
just
thought,
decided
not
to
I'm
just
going
to
kind
of
give
some
of
my
thoughts
as
a
parent
in
a
community
member,
as
in
addition
to
my
advocacy.
This
document
that
we
have
I'm
reading
from
is
actually
in
a
folder
behind
you,
so
you
have
that
piece
of
it
as
a
parent
growing
up
in
Boston.
U
You
know
my
generation
and
it's
funny.
I
was
sitting
in
the
audience.
Listening
to
everyone
speak
from
the
Commissioner
to
you
know:
beast
BC
YF
as
a
young
girl,
I
had
family
and
community
support.
I
am
a
product
of
the
Lee
school
when
it
was
a
good
program
digit,
which
is
now
the
Anthony
Perkins
Center.
Who
was
my
uncle
because
I
had
that
background,
I
was
able
to
be
supported
and
have
people
behind
me.
We
had
programs.
I
know
funding
is
a
really
really
big
issue.
U
So
if
this
is
the
constant
we're
having
and
how
to
keep
our
youth
engaged,
not
only
throughout
the
summer
but
for
throughout
the
school
year
as
well,
bringing
them
into
the
schools,
I
have
a
13
year
old
son
and
a
20
year
old
daughter
who
was
in
college.
Neither
one
of
them
are
commune
sensitive
members
because
they
didn't
have
that.
U
That
was
there's
a
big
missing
piece:
there's
no
one
for
these
kids
to
go
to
and
talk
to,
there's
no
there's,
no
one
in
their
schools
offering
these
services
to
bring
them
to
come
in
sensors
and
let
them
know
what's
out
there
that's
over.
That
was
a
really
hard
thing
to
hear
that
it's
happening
now,
but
that
should
have
been
there
all
along.
You
know
my
uncle
was
willing
to
go
against
the
grain
by
bringing
us
some
a
SAP
and
raise
money
to
take
us
to
Florida
to
go
horseback
riding
to
do
all
those
things.
A
U
Had
youth
groups
I
had
workshops,
I
was
I
was
taught
how
to
do
an
interview
when
I
was
in
trouble
at
school.
My
community
came
to
my
school
for
me.
We
don't
have
that
now
and
that's
sad
and
as
an
advocate,
that's
what
I
do
it's
not
a
part
of
my
role.
I
choose
to
do
that.
I
became
an
advocate
because
my
cousin
was
murdered
six
summers
ago
in
front
of
my
house.
U
I'm
sorry
I
became
an
advocate
to
support
families,
but
the
situation
behind
her
murder
was
because
there
was
a
girl
was
a
setup
girl,
so
who's
reaching
these
young
girls
with
these
boyfriends,
who
I
happen
to
do
these
horrible
things
and
who
virginals
young
men
to
talk
to
them
about
their
life
and
what
they're
doing
now?
That's
you
know
the
Peace
Institute
we
are.
We
have
so
much
more
than
homicide
services.
We
do
everything
we
meet
people
on
both
sides
of
that
gun
to
try
to
prevent
things
from
happening.
U
I
know,
I,
went
way
off
key
on
what
I
was
supposed
to
say
and
I
was
called
to
do
something
else,
I'm
speaking
up
as
a
parent
as
a
community
member.
As
an
advocate,
we
need
way
more
programs
of
funding
into
these
systems
up.
We
have
running
right
now
and
it's
not
about
who's,
not
fixing
the
problem.
It's.
How
do
we
have
the
players
who
are
actually
doing
the
work
and
how
are
you
uplift
them
and
make
them
feel
comfortable?
U
Coming
just
like
this,
you
know
I
am
sad
that
the
commissioners,
not
here
anymore,
and
they
can't
hear
people
from
the
community
talking
I-
am
sad
that
people
that
you
know
we're
doing
be
some.
Our
programs
can't
hear
me
as
a
product
of
that
who,
my
kids,
they
don't
have
that.
Luckily,
my
children
have
me,
but
there's
not
all
these
kids,
who
have
parents
like
myself,
who
have
gone
through
that
and
come
out.
U
The
system
I
have
like
seven
uncles
and
aunts
who
Boston
police
right
now,
cousins
who's
gone
through
the
Academy,
but
we
come
from
that
as
a
family.
Not
these
tell
me
these
kids
don't
have
that
and
if
it's
not
reaching
out
in
their
schools
and
actually
going
out
to
them
yeah,
it's
that's
what
that's
really
really
important
and
I
know
it
takes
money.
I
was
driven
from
a
van
every
single
night
from
Lucas
in
my
home
of
Roxbury,
of
being
a
fan
that
someone
was
volunteering
to
drive
the
kids
home.
U
That's
one
way
to
help
that
that's
one
way
to
throughout
the
summer
programs
and
out
school
programs.
There
was
an
adult
who
was
willing
to
do
that.
We
don't
have
any
more,
and
maybe
it
is
the
money
that's
missing.
It
may
be
some
of
the
adults
you
know
who
are
who
were
then
willing
to
just
go
the
extra
mile
who
may
not
be
able
to
who
are
not
here
now
to
do
that.
I,
don't
know
if
any
of
that
makes
sense
and
I'm
sorry
I
got
so
emotional,
but
the
consolation
called
me
to
speak.
U
V
V
There
are
multiple
ways
that
I
can
go
and
I
just
want
to
peel
back
the
onion,
just
just
just
a
little
bit
more.
We
heard
from
the
first
panel
where
the
city
asserted
what
it
is
that
they
have
it
didn't
come
out
today,
but
I
would
like
to
draw
your
attention
at
some
point,
to
review
what
the
city
has
referred
to
as
its
culmination
of
a
comprehensive
public
safety
plan.
When
you
look
at
the
term
culmination
you
go
to
the
root
word,
which
is
culminate,
which
is
finality
master
done.
V
V
Unfortunately,
politics
is
playing
a
huge,
unwarranted,
influential
role
on
what's
wrong
with
public
safety
in
Boston
we
are
not
safe
law
enforcement
can
no
longer
fall
back
on
a
former
impact
player
can
no
longer
fall
back
on
known
to
police,
Chris,
Joyce
and
mr.
Blair
were
killed
in
heat
Street.
Let
me
back
up.
I
grew
up
in
Heep
Street
I'm
from
Heep
Street.
V
On
my
way
to
see
that
you
talk
about
trauma,
or
somebody
asked
who's
dealing
with
trauma
as
someone
that
works
in
this,
that
is
service
families
that
has
responded
to
issues
where
the
lack
of
a
real,
comprehensive
public
safety
plan
I
applaud
to
some
extent
HHS
and
the
trauma
movement
we
had
a
meeting
in
February
movement
happened.
The
card
that
they
referred
to
was
designed
by
a
group
that
I
led
with
the
police.
So
there's
been
some
movement
on
HHS.
Let
me
back
up
a
little
bit.
V
The
impact
and
the
trauma
I
deal
with
is
not
responding
to
the
issues.
It's
the
crap.
It's
the
Cindy
Diggs
refer
to
some
years
ago,
there's
too
much
yellow
tape
for
all
this
red
tape.
The
young
lady
referred
to
the
path
to
the
fact
of
the
people
who
aren't
in
the
room
where's
my
clarity,
where's
the
rest
of
the
at-large
councillors,
I
know,
I
oughta
would
say:
I
heard
someone
checking
for
an
appointment,
so
she's
not
here.
Certain
districts
may
feel
that
it's
not
their
priority,
because
it's
not
an
uptick
in
the
area.
V
Reverend
project
referred
to
the
the
dis
connectivity
for
years.
I
said
on
social
media.
I
was
coming
with
a
stack
of
emails
and
printouts
counselor.
Both
of
y'all
came
to
meetings
that
we
had.
You
came
to
the
result.
One
you
came
to
the
one
with
the
parents
and
y'all
heard
directly
killed.
You
heard
and
counsel
Jenna,
you
heard
directly
from
the
parents
what
the
issues
are.
What
they're
dealing
with
with
this
young
lady
Eckel
today
there
is
a
huge
disconnect.
Let's
just
keep
it
real.
There
are
personality
conflicts
between
Department
and
cabinet.
V
Heads
there
are
are
odd,
there's
not
open
sharing
of
information,
you
talked
about,
you
know
being
transparent
and
whatnot
with
a
there
is
stuff,
that's
already
in
place,
I
think
it
was
Marty.
Martinez
that
talked
about
communication
and
coordination
is
everything.
For
years
we've
been
trying
to
tell
the
city,
there
is
no
interdepartmental
protocol
for
communication.
You
got
BHA
placing
Opie
moms
in
heap
Street
and
allowing
their
boyfriends
or
whatever
to
come
over,
giving
them
access
to
the
roof
and
they're
shooting
off
the
roof,
not
even
from
there.
This
is
the
stuff
to
do.
V
They
came
and
did
the
song
and
dance
today
about
all
this
is
what's
going
well,
there
has
been
movement,
that's
wonderful,
but
when
it
comes
to
public
safety,
there
has
not
been.
We
had
that
meeting
in
February
where
citizens
came
out.
The
the
mayor's
Office
of
Public
Safety
has
yet
to
follow
up
and
sit
down.
I
have
sent
multiple
multiple
emails
and
asked
organizers
and
activists
had
asked
for
a
deeper
dive
around
issue.
Everybody
today
talked
about
the
kids
in
the
Centers.
The
kids
that
go
to
the
centers
are
not
the
ones
shooting.
V
Nobody
talked
about.
Ssy
I
weigh
Malin
is
not
here.
He
has
a
list
of
two
to
three
hundred
young
people.
They
said
today,
there's
45
gangs.
How
many
street
workers
are
there
come
on
y'all?
Have
the
information
y'all?
Have
the
data
there
was
years
ago
that
there's
models
I
was
want
to
say
what's
new
and
innovative?
What's
this
comprehensive
Public
Safety
plan
gonna,
you
know
do
of
its
new.
Some
organizers
got
on
me
and
said
no
James.
There's
models
that
worked
in
the
past.
V
Stop
allocating
all
this
goddamn
money
into
law
enforcement
and
reallocate
the
money.
So
programs
can
have
the
support
they
need
to
get
these
young
people
home,
so
Junior
I
can
build
out
and
have
more
services
it.
Just
it
baffles
me
Tim.
You
know,
I
worked
across
the
hall,
so
I
know
how
this
stuff
works.
I
know
the
politics
of
it
as
a
unit.
Where
are
you
all?
As
elected
officials,
this
hearing
is
wonderful,
wonderful,
but
we've
done
it
before
I've
tested,
I've
testified
so
many
times
about
the
same
things.
V
Over
and
over
again
guess
we
had
the
hearings
in
the
community,
but
what
was
done
after
what
was
done.
I
came
here
today
to
put
it
out
there.
You
know
we're
getting
to
the
point
where
I
will
commit
to
organizing
people
to
get
people
out
of
office.
That
will
not
demonstrate
their
commitment
to
changing
this
I
know
I'm
over
my
time,
but
it
I
had
to
seize
the
opportunity
with
a
different
set
of
folks
Kim.
You
went
through
that
the
other
night
Tim
you
already
know
to
work.
V
Matt
I
was
trying
to
reach
out
and
connect
with
you.
It
didn't
happen.
I
grew
up
over
there.
All
this
cute
dancing,
wonderful
sub,
that's
y'all,
need
this
go
out
in
the
community,
and
half
I
can
give
y'all
numbers.
They
can
give
y'all
numbers
where
y'all
can
go
and
talk
in
their
homes
with
these
people
that
don't
share
the
experience
of
what
was
being
asserted
in
here
today.
V
The
main
thing
I
want
to
ask
when
you
talk
about
suggestions
and
I'll
shut
up,
make
them
department,
heads
and
cabinet
heads
get
in
the
room
with
Opa
Opa
s,
Office
of
Public
Safety
and
make
them
do
their
damn
job.
They
need
to
present
by
July
1st
everybody
talking
about
the
summer,
bring
them
all
together
and
there
needs
to
be
a
new
plan
with
community
partners.
There
was
an
assertion
about
our
partnerships
and
our
partnerships.
I
got
a
thread
of
emails,
but
I
have
no
response
to
sit
down
and
follow
up
when
citizens
came
out.
W
O
So
me
hi,
my
name
is
Amanda
Govan
I
am
a
single
parent,
I'm,
a
young
mom
to
a
six
year
old
and
a
two
year
old
I
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
Kim
Janey
prior
prior
to
I'm
involved
with
reclaimed
Roxbury,
we
didn't
do
a
debate
and
we
do
was
involved
in
that
and
I
know
that
there's
an
issue
with
funding
and
community
connectivity
and
things
like
that.
But
one
thing
that
I
must
say
with
the
revitalization
of
the
city
and
all
the
new
construction
that
is
going
on
in
the
city.
O
O
Do
we
have
to
make
them
sign
on
to
an
agreement
that
when
you
come
in-
and
you
want
to
build
here
in
Boston,
regardless
of
what
parts
you
want
to
build
there,
whether
it
be
Roxbury
Mattapan,
High,
Park,
Rosendale,
whatever
you
have
to
give
a
good
contribution
of
your
funds,
your
developmental
funds
to
the
community,
and
it
can't
be
5%
7%
10%?
It
has
to
be
India
lots
of
anywhere
from
25
to
30%.
We
can
have
these
meetings
all
day
long.
O
We
can
convene
and
come
together
on
a
monthly
yearly
basis,
but
the
main
issue
will
always
be
funding.
We
all
come
together.
Human
beings
come
together
when
there's
food
around
and
food
does
not
fall
from
the
sky
is
not
paid
for
by
the
leaves
off
the
trees,
but
when
it
comes
to
actually
having
fund
in
and
have
people
come
in,
that
will
see
the
value
in
the
city.
They
have
to
contribute
as
well.
New
buildings
are
being
built
all
over
the
city,
especially
the
Seaport
District,
but
you
have
to
have
an
investment
in
the
community.
O
There
has
been
a
strong
disinvestment
way
before
I
was
even
thought
of.
I
was
born
in
1979,
and
this
has
been
since
the
60s
a
lot
of
vacant
lots
in
vacant
land,
any
developer
that
wants
to
come
in
and
build.
They
have
to
contribute
to
the
community
that
they're
building
in
and
if
they
don't
want
to
contribute
at
least
20%.
Then
you
can't
build
here.
That's
how
I
feel
as
a
parent
I've
been
born
and
raised
in
this
city,
I
was
raised
on
Wooster
Street
I've
been
all
over.
O
The
country
I've
been
able
to
travel
outside
the
country
and
I've
known
Boston
as
my
home,
this
part
of
Roxbury
as
my
home.
Yes,
people
come
in
for
college
and
stuff
like
that
and
they
coming
in
nested
for
a
couple
of
years
and
they
leave.
But
you
have
to
consider
the
folks
that
been
here
for
20
30
40
50
years,
even
the
elder
folks,
they've
been
here
that
are
like
90
and
close
to
100
years
old.
O
We
have
to
have
a
consideration
for
the
folks
that
been
here
for
years
and
know
the
city
as
their
home
and
with
the
current
process
that's
being
implemented,
would
plan
Dudley
and
stuff
like
that.
We
have
to
have
an
understanding
that
the
folks
that
been
here,
the
folks
that
continue
to
be
here,
we
have
to
have
an
avenue
for
for
them
as
well,
but
with
the
the
current
development
that
is
going
on,
Eva
contribute
25
or
30
percent,
or
you
can't
build
here
and
the
money
that
they
contribute.
O
That's
your
funding
for
everything
that
everyone
has
been
asking
for
for
jri
and
for
all
of
the
youth
stuff.
For
the
summer,
the
youth
stuff
year-round,
not
just
for
the
summer
youth
exists.
Year-Round,
we
are
human
beings
on
a
daily
basis,
is
not
just
summertime.
Safety
is
not
just
a
implementation
for
the
summertime,
its
year-round,
so
it
has
to
be
you
come
you
want
to
build
here,
go
to
be
30%
or
go
somewhere
else.
Thank
you.
A
X
My
name
is
Marta
Rodriguez
and
I
have
been
a
resident
in
Jamaica
Plain
for
about
23
years.
There's
many
things
that
I
can
say,
but
I'm
just
gonna
focus
something
that
the
commissioner
said
that
I
found
actually
kind
of
insulting
that
you
know
they
have
been
doing
everything
they
can
possibly
do
and
that
there's
pretty
much
nothing
else
that
they
can
do,
and
now
it's
about
what
the
community
can
do.
X
So
I've
actually
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
many
people
from
Bromley
Heath
and
from
the
Latin
Quarter,
and
you
know
they're,
like
Wendy
said
there
are
many
families
there
are
prisoners
in
their
own
home.
There
is
no
way
to
live.
You
know
families
I've
actually
reached
out
to
members
of
the
community
to
talk
about
the
different
things
that
are
happening
to
them.
You
know
being
robbed
drugs
being
sold
the
harassment
so
many
things
that
are
happening,
that
they're
afraid
to
say
to
the
police.
Why?
X
Because
we
have
had
meetings
with
the
police,
where
they
had
the
audacity
to
tell
this
residents
that
these
things
are
happening
because
of
them,
because
they
don't
come
forward
because
they
don't
speak
up.
So
now,
I,
ask
and
I
have
asked
several
officers
to
clarify
that
for
me.
So
what
happens?
If
someone
does
come
forward?
What
happens
if
someone
does
speak
up?
What
happens
when
they
speak
about
the
people
that
are
selling
drugs,
the
people
that
are
robbing
the
people
that
are
doing
all
these
awful
things
in
this
community?
Do
they
have
consequences?
X
Well,
according
to
them,
there's
this
whole
process
that
doesn't
actually
guarantee
that
the
person
will
go
to
jail
that
doesn't
guarantee
the
person
the
victim
that
is
coming
forward,
that
that
person
will
be
safe.
So
imagine
you
are
prisoner
in
your
own
home.
You
are
low
income.
You
have
to
keep
yourself
safe
and
your
family,
and
then
you
have
to
choose
between
coming
forward
and
putting
yourself
in
your
family
more
in
danger,
with
no
guarantee
of
something
actually
happening
to
these
people
and
with
no
guarantee
of
being
protected
by
the
police.
X
So
clearly,
there
are
some
conversations
that
need
to
be
had
with
between
the
community
and
the
police
about
what
it
means
to
come
forward
about
what
it
means
to
come
and
speak
up
about
these
things
and
about
the
consequences
that
these
victims
could
potentially
face,
because
then
people
can
make
an
educated
decision
about
coming
forward
and
they
can
choose
to
put
themselves
at
risk
to
hopefully
see
some
change.
Also,
you
know
there
are
police
officers
that
are
supposed
to
be
police
in
the
area
walking
in
their
cars
and
bicycles.
None
of
this
is
happening.
X
None
of
it
is
happening.
So
why
are
we
still
giving
money
to
these
people?
But
there
I
didn't
put
more
bicycles
for
what
to
work.
Are
their
legs
because
they're
not
really
doing
the
job
that
they're
supposed
to
be
doing
in
this
community?
The
community
doesn't
trust
them.
In
fact,
we've
had
many
community
members
and
I
know.
These
are
like
really
hardcore
allegations
and
I.
Don't
know
whether
it's
true
or
not,
but
there's
people
that
have
come
forward
saying
that
many
police
officers
actually
take
bribes
from
the
people
that
are
committing
the
crime.
X
So
imagine
not
only
are
they
terrified
of
the
actual
criminals
in
the
community,
but
they're
also
terrified
of
the
people
that
are
supposed
to
be
protecting
them.
So
an
honest
conversation
needs
to
happen
between
the
commissioner
police
officers
in
the
community,
because
even
the
anonymous
line
doesn't
always
remain
anonymous.
They
always
put
people
on
blast
in
the
retaliation,
so
they
have
to
face
a
pretty
freakin
scary,
but
they
don't
talk
about
that,
because
when
they
actually
use
that
line-
and
it
wasn't
kept
anonymous,
they
had
to
pay
some
really
bad
consequences.
X
So
these
are
things
that
I
didn't
hear
him
talk
about.
These
are
things
that
we
need
to
be
talking
about.
I
know
this
I,
don't
necessarily
work
for
any
organization.
I
volunteer
for
many
for
over
15
years,
but
I
have
access
to
all
this
information,
so
sure
you're
telling
me
that
you
put
another
Street
soldiers
and
money
and
that
none
of
you
have
access
to
this
information.
X
People
know
about
this.
Do
something
about
it.
Stop
putting
money
into
people
in
places
that
are
not
doing
anything
for
us
start
giving
it
to
the
people
that
are
actually
working
with
the
community
and
doing
something
for
the
community,
and
please
please,
let's
start
having
honest
conversations
about
how
the
police
can
actually
do
everything
that
can
possibly
do
to
protect
our
community
and
then
sit
down
with
us
and
talk
to
us
about
how
can
we
work
together?
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
makers
for
a
final
statement.
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
being
here.
I
do
want
a
point
of
clarification.
There's
not
a
single
hearing
that
all
13,
City
Council's,
don't
care
about
or
want
to
be
at
the
way
they're
scheduled
is
the
the
hearing
is
brought
before
the
ball
or
the
council,
and
then
the
makers
or
the
maker
works
with
the
chair,
which
happens
to
be
me
today
to
schedule
the
hearing
councillors
have
meetings
and
appointments
and
family
obligations
booked
out
months
and
ahead.
A
Most
of
us
will
watch
the
hearing
and
then
we'll
get
some
feedback
from
them
at
a
later
date.
So
I
just
I
just
didn't
know
their
staff
is
here
taking
notes
now
and
I
just
thought
that
that
was
a
little
shot
that
didn't
need
to
be
taken.
So
just
a
point
of
clarification
on
that
councillor,
O'malley
Thank.
G
B
Chairman,
thank
you
again
to
my
dear
colleague
and
friend,
councillor
Janey,
for
a
partnership
and,
most
importantly,
thanks
to
all
that
stayed
for
the
last
three
hours
Plus.
This
was
an
important
conversation,
sometimes
the
difficult
conversation
to
have,
but
the
most
effective
and
worthwhile
conversations
are
often
are
just
that.
We
know
that
some
good
things
are
happening.
B
We
know
that
some
better
things
are
happening
as
it
relates
to
strategies
to
combat
violence
this
summer,
but
we
also
know
that
there's
more
work
that
we
need
to
do,
and
there
are
more
things
that
we
need
to
be
a
little
bit
more
diligent
on
and
a
lot
of
things
that
we
by
working
together,
we
can
really
affect
some
real
change.
So
I
wanted
to
thank
all
of
you,
my
colleagues
staff,
for
tremendous
work
at
this.
You
know
it's
important.
B
It
was
important
for
councillor
Janie
and
I
to
do
this
now
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
summer,
but
I
think
some
of
the
action
items
that
we
should
take
away,
or
maybe
convening
other
conversations
in
the
community
later
this
summer,
but
wanted
to
thank
again
our
panelists,
particularly
our
second
panel
and
those
that
offered
some
testimony
after
Thank
You.
Mr.
chairman,
thank.
A
C
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
I
also
want
to
thank
councilor
Matt
O'malley
for
your
partnership
on
this.
Certainly
all
of
you
who
are
still
here,
our
panelists
for
your
very
honest
presentations
and
and
testimony
I,
think
it's
all
very
helpful,
as
we
think
about
how
we
tackle
these
very
important
issues
that
that
many
of
us
are
dealing
with
in
our
communities.
C
I
want
to
say
a
special
thank
you
to
you,
Reverend
Willie,
Broderick
for
being
very
solution,
oriented
and
I'm,
looking
forward
to
kind
of
following
up
with
those
in
attendance,
those
on
the
panels
to
see
how
we
can
move
forward
on.
Some
of
those
suggestions
certainly
want
to
acknowledge
you
too
Reverend
Scott,
the
people
from
the
second
panel
great
testimony
all
of
those
who
stayed
and
offered
public
testimony
and
hope
that
you
stay
engaged.
C
C
I'm,
a
big
believer
as
I
said
at
the
very
beginning
that
this
is
very
much
connected
to
the
lack
of
Economic
Opportunity
to
what
is
happening
or
not
happening
in
our
schools,
whether
or
not
we're
actually
healing
from
the
trauma
in
our
communities
and,
quite
frankly,
through
from
systemic
oppression
and
poverty,
the
effects
of
poverty
in
our
communities
and
so
I
think
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
as
a
council
as
a
city
and
as
a
community
and
I
look
forward
to
your
continued
engagement
as
we
move
forward.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
A
You
very
much
councilor
it's
clear
to
me
that
everybody's
rolling
in
the
same
direction
and
we'll
be
getting
together
soon.
So
at
the
end
here
it's
docket
number:
zero,
six
to
four
councils,
O'malley
and
Janey
offered
the
following.
In
order
a
hearing
to
address
summer
violence
in
the
community
and
engage
in
the
city
of
Boston
docket
number
zero.
Six
two
four
is
now
in
Reese.
