2022 Summer Safety Approach - 5/25/22
A
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
tobin
community
center
in
the
boston
centers
for
youth
and
families
central
office,
my
name
is
imaginative.
I'm
the
interim
commissioner
of
the
boston
center
for
youth
and
families,
and
you
are
in
the
memorial
garden
of
ida
graves
who
was
an
incredible
woman
in
the
community.
A
She
made
sure
that
children
were
safe
in
the
community.
She
volunteered
here
at
the
tobin
community
center.
She
worked
at
the
tobin
school
and
before
I
could
make
it
home,
miss
graves
made
sure
that
my
mother
knew
exactly
where
I
was
so
again.
It's
so
fitting
that
we
are
here
in
this
incredible
space
dedicated
to
her
today,
making
today's
announcement.
B
Thank
you
so
much,
commissioner,
and
thank
you
to
our
incredible
all-star
team
standing
up
here
and
the
many
many
city
team
members
who
have
been
involved
and
represented
from
these
departments.
Who've
been
working
for
months
on
how
we
can
coordinate,
integrate
our
efforts
and
really
bring
about
the
summer
that
is
healthy,
exciting,
joyful,
safe
for
all
of
our
young
people
and
all
of
our
families
in
the
city.
So
before
we
launch
into
the
details
of
that,
I
do
want
to
introduce
someone.
B
C
Thank
you,
mayor,
woo
and
good
afternoon
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
before
I
pray.
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
of
silence
to
acknowledge
the
carnage
that
has
happened
in
both
east
buffalo
and
in
texas.
An
elementary
school
19
children
lives
were
lost
in
two
adults,
one
an
educator,
so
we
could
just
take
a
moment
of
silence
at
this
time.
C
We
are
praying
that
these
victims
will
find
eternal
peace
and
that
their
families
will
gain
some
sense
of
comfort
in
the
midst
of
their
deep
grief
god.
We
also
pray
that
this
nation
does
not
accept
this
violence
as
a
norm,
but
that
we
proactively
do
something
about
the
violence
we
are
experiencing
and
implement
policies
and
practices
to
ensure
that
we
have
safe
communities,
and
that
is
why
we
gather
on
this
day.
B
B
As
as
you'd
heard,
it
is
very,
very
difficult
to
be
standing
here.
Less
than
24
hours
after
a
gunman
walked
into
a
school,
an
elementary
school
and
took
the
lives
of
so
many
and
less
than
two
weeks
ago.
We
also
mourned
another
set
of
mass
shootings
in
laguna
woods
and
in
buffalo,
and
while
these
didn't
take
place
in
boston,
many
in
our
communities
live
with
the
fear
and
threat
of
violence
in
neighborhoods
and
as
a
mom
to
two
boys.
B
So
this
summer
we've
been
connecting
our
public
safety
and
economic
opportunity
and
community
building
through
the
lens
of
health,
equity
and
community
trust.
I'm
joined
here
today
by
leaders
across
these
departments
to
talk
about
the
wraparound
approach
that
we're
taking
to
create
new
violence,
intervention
and
prevention
initiatives
and
expand
and
improve
existing
programs.
B
We're
also
here
with
our
community
partners.
I
know
mission
safe
and,
and
so
many
of
our
youth
engagement
organizations
are
represented
here
and
in
the
work
and
and
the
planning
that's
gone
into
this,
so
my
job
today
is
mostly
just
to
give
a
little
introduction
and
then
get
out
of
the
way
for
the
experts
to
share
what
the
departments
have
been
working
on.
B
So
we'll
start,
first
with
our
community
ambassadors
program,
which
will
focus
on
engaging
and
supporting
residents
impacted
by
gun
violence,
not
only
by
working
to
prevent
these
incidents,
but
by
encouraging
young
people
to
reconsider
their
relationships
to
their
neighborhoods
and
build
community.
So,
to
share
more
about
this
program,
I'd
like
to
introduce
dr
rufus
falk,
our
senior
advisor
on
public
safety.
D
Thank
you
mayor.
Quite
frankly,
it's
definitely
difficult
to
be
here
at
this
time.
At
this
moment,
my
daughter's
a
second
grader.
So
it's
definitely
difficult,
but
as
we
always
do,
we
try
to
persevere,
show
resiliency
and
make
sure
the
work
continues
to
get
done.
D
This
community
ambassadors
program
is
an
extension
of
the
mayor's
vision
to
make
sure
that
we're
bringing
city
hall
outside
of
the
building
and
into
the
neighbors
and
into
the
community
and
our
ambassadors,
are
those
individuals
who
already
have
those
ties.
We
are
leveraging
their
community
buy-in,
they're
they're
social
networks
to
help
us
to
bring
resources
from
city
hall
directly
to
the
neighborhoods
and
individuals
who
need
them
the
most.
D
So
the
structure
of
this
program
is
going
to
be
two
two-person
teams
dedicated
to
engaging
not
only
youth
but
young
adults
and
families
directly
to
services
that
are
available
within
our
city,
buildings
in
our
city
departments,
but,
most
importantly
to
our
partners
as
well.
I
see
youth
connect
in
the
back.
Youth
connect
is
one
of
our
major
partners
who
help
support
some
of
our
mental
health
social
services
and
make
sure
that
our
families,
those
individuals,
most
directly
impacted,
are
receiving
them.
D
So
the
community
ambassadors
program
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
leverage
those
community
leaders
who
oftentimes
don't
have
positions
at
these
tables.
Who
oftentimes
will
get
to
stand
here
and
do
press
conferences,
but
those
are
the
individuals
who
actually
have
to
say
so
in
our
neighborhood
in
the
communities
and
they
are
oftentimes
the
tangible
examples
of
what
success
looks
like
the
transition
of
yourself
from
being
gang
involved
to
being
somebody
who's
successful
as
an
adult,
so
the
applications
are
open.
We
are
looking
for
individuals
who
are
committed
to
our
communities.
D
We
have
a
few
applicants
already.
One
of
them
is
actually
one
of
a
graduate
of
our
operation
exit
program,
who's
succeeding
in
the
construction
fields,
but
still
recognizes
that
he
has
a
debt
to
pay
to
the
community
that
he
wants,
I'm
not
going
to
say
harm,
but
I
will
say
that
he
caused
some
issues
in
it.
So
he
wants
to
give
back,
and
I
know
there
are
many
young
adults
and
adults
who
want
to
give
back
to
the
neighborhood
it's
an
opportunity
for
them
to
do
so.
D
So
the
community
ambassador
ambassadors
program
is
a
vehicle
that
the
city
of
boston
created
to
re-establish
those
relationships
between
neighborhood
and
city
government,
but
also,
most
importantly,
to
recognize
that
the
assets
are
in
the
neighborhoods.
The
assets
are
not
in
the
building.
So
that's
my
brief
spill,
but
I'll
be
around
answering
any
questions
about
the
community
bachelor's
program.
Thank
you.
Man.
B
Thank
you,
dr
falk.
We
are
also
as
a
city
reinstating
operation,
homefront,
a
collaboration
between
the
boston
police
and
the
boston,
public
schools,
and
this
team
made
up
of
these
two
agencies.
Our
service
providers
and
clergy
members
will
focus
on
strengthening
connections
with
young
people's
families
to
provide
resources
for
violence
prevention,
and
so
I'd
like
to
invite
up
superintendent,
brenda
caselias,
followed
by
commissioner
greg
long
to
say
more
about
this
partnership.
E
Good
morning,
I
join
everyone
here
that
we
have
heavy
hearts
this
morning.
Yesterday's
tragic
events
and
loss
of
precious
life
illustrates
the
seriousness
of
the
work
ahead.
For
all
of
us,
nothing
is
more
important
than
the
safety
of
our
children
and
ensuring
they
get
to
be
children,
free
of
worry
and
free
of
adult
problems.
E
E
E
They
deserve
to
be
cared
for
by
trustworthy
adults
and
they
deserve
to
learn
in
safe
and
welcoming
classrooms.
Free
of
fear
and
worry
learning
is
not
possible
if
a
young
person
is
afraid
of
what
will
happen
in
school
or
on
the
way
to
school
or
if
they
experience
violence
in
any
way
in
their
home
in
school
or
within
the
community.
E
Efforts
like
the
operational
home
front
relaunching
thank
you,
chief
coakley
griez
for
your
previous
work
with
that
operation
home
front,
it's
going
to
be
relaunching
and
we
believe
that
collectively
we'll
be
able
to
connect
families
to
resources
and
provide
wrap-around
supports,
building
the
deep
relationships
necessary
so
that
students
feel
supported
and
families
feel
supported,
and
they
know
how
to
get
help
youth
summer.
Jobs
are
also
an
effective
violence
prevention
tool.
E
E
Youth,
parents,
guardians
and
caretakers
are
encouraged
to
visit
youth.boston.gov
to
learn
more
and
apply
today
we
know
we
can
do
more,
and
today's
announcement
is
just
the
first
step
in
our
shared
commitment
and
work
together
to
ensure
our
students
are
active,
healthy
and
safe
this
summer.
Thank
you.
F
Good
morning,
thank
you,
everybody
for
being
here
today.
I
just
kind
of
want
to
echo
sentiments
that
you've
previously
heard
you
know
I'd
just
like
to
acknowledge
all
the
victims.
You
know
the
the
unimaginable
tragedies
that
we've
seen
in
buffalo
and
yesterday
in
texas.
F
You
just
keep
all
those
victims,
their
families,
their
communities
and
your
prayers
and
all
the
first
responders
that
responded
to
those
gruesome
scenes.
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
talk
about
the
boston
police
department's
plans
as
we
head
into
the
summer.
Historically,
some
has
been
a
challenging
time
in
terms
of
addressing
violence
in
our
city
with
the
warmer
months,
you
see
an
increase
in
activity.
The
last
two
weeks
alone,
the
men
and
women
of
the
boston
police
department
have
recovered
over
25
firearms
and
multiple
arrests.
F
Resulting
from
that.
I
highlight
that
just
to
show
that
it's
going
to
take
the
collective
efforts
of
everybody
in
here
it'll
take
the
collective
efforts
of
the
boston
police
department,
city
agencies,
the
clergy,
our
community
stakeholders
and
everybody
else
to
ensure
the
safest
summer
possible.
I'm
confident
with
what
you're
going
to
hear
today.
F
The
plan
that
you're
going
to
hear
today
in
the
programs
that
will
be
able
to
do
just
that,
specifically
in
terms
of
boston
police
department
deployment
this
summer,
we're
going
to
continue
to
rely
on
our
intelligence,
driven
data
to
focus
on
those
individuals
that
are
driving
violence
in
those
areas
where
there's
an
uptick
in
violence.
F
Those
individuals,
those
small
group,
individuals
that
are
driving
violence,
will
continue
to
work
with
the
district
attorney's
office
and
the
u.s
attorney's
office
to
hold
them
accountable.
Gun
violence
can
never
be
acceptable
and
will
not
be
accepted
in
our
neighborhoods.
It's
it's
that
simple
and
we're
going
to
hold
you
accountable
for
that
in
terms
of
addressing
that
violence,
we're
going
to
supplement
our
district's
efforts
with
our
brick,
the
boston
regional
television
center,
our
youth
violence
strike
force
a
drug
control
unit
as
well
as
our
as
well
as
our
bike
unit.
F
Our
auto
theft
unit
will
continue
to
focus
on
off-road
vehicles.
Clearly,
in
the
warmer
months
we've
seen
they
become
a
public
safety
issue,
as
well
as
a
quality
of
life
issue.
I
will
continue
to
address
them
through
investigations,
citations
seizures
and
arrests.
If
need
be.
F
I
think
that
you
know
our
efforts
go
a
long
way
towards
curbing
that.
What
I
would
ask
is
that
the
public
has
had
a
big
part
to
play
in
that
the
last
couple
of
years.
If
you
know
where
those
off
off-road
vehicles
are
being
stored,
please
call
the
boston
police
department.
We
can
call
our
tip
line
1-800-494
tips,
we've
had
a
lot
of
successful
operations
that
have
resulted
from
community
input,
and
we
appreciate
your
reference
in
that
also
this
summer,
you're
going
to
see
an
increase
in
boston,
police
presence
and
our
open
spaces.
F
Our
parks
and
playgrounds
to
ensure
people
are
outside
enjoying
enjoying
the
warm
weather
feel
safe,
we'll
continue
to
work
with
the
schools.
The
summer
programs
that
provide
safety
around
the
schools.
We've
also
met
about
two
weeks
ago
with
the
boston
licensing
board.
Our
licensed
premise
unit,
as
well
as
our
district
detectives,
will
work
with
them
to
ensure
that
our
licensed
premises
across
the
city
are
keeping
an
eye
on
in
addressing
violence
in
inside
outside
of
their
establishments.
F
We're
also
going
to
be
responding
to
late
night
parties.
Again,
you
know
with
the
warm
weather
people
are
outside,
they
want
to
enjoy
themselves.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
being
respectful
of
their
neighbors
and
also
having
parties
and
gatherings
that
don't
turn
violent.
F
In
addition
to
everything
I
just
mentioned,
you
know
probably,
most
importantly,
we're
going
to
continue.
You
know
our
valued
and
positive
interactions
with
that
with
our
community
partners.
Our
bureau
of
community
engagement,
headed
by
superintendent
chin,
as
long
as,
in
addition
to
our
community
service
offices,
do
a
fantastic
job
all
summer
long,
all
year,
long
interacting
with
our
residents
they're
going
to
continue
to
implement
their
signature
programs
during
the
summer
time
and
our
community
service
offices
will
we'll
try
to
get
to
every
single
event
as
humanly
possible.
F
You
know
with
that
community
interaction,
it's
invaluable
in
terms
of
our
relationship
with
the
community,
and
we
have
every
intention
on
the
continuing
to
do
that.
In
closing
what
I'd
like
to
talk
about,
you
know
what
you've
kind
of
heard
here.
It's
always
been
a
philosophy
of
the
boston
police
department.
All
right
is
to
identify
individuals
at
risk,
youth
of
families
that
need
services.
It's
already
been
mentioned,
and
I
want
to
mention
it.
One
of
our
valued
partners
since
I
was
a
patrolman
is
youth
connect.
F
I
can't
say
enough
about
the
job
youth
connect.
Does
we
have
social
workers
that
are
in
our
stations
in
our
specialized
units?
It
allows
officers
and
detectives
to
revert
individuals
refer
individuals
to
these
social
workers
that
clearly
need
help
or
their
families
need
help
in
an
effort
to
steer
them
away
from
violence
without
their
help.
F
I
I
I
don't
know
what
to
say
I
you
know,
there's
probably
no
can't
measure
it,
but
I
I
I'd
be
hard-pressed
me
to
sit
here
and
say
that
they
have
not
changed
and
significantly
altered
the
direction
of
people,
countless
hundreds
of
people's
lives
over
the
years,
and
I
appreciate
it
and
in
terms
of
the
home
front
program
that
was
mentioned
again,
having
participated
in
that.
Also
when
I
was
a
patrolman,
I
can't
say
enough
about
that
again:
identifying
students,
okay,
that
you
know,
are
going
down
the
wrong
roads.
F
It
enables
us
to
get
to
them,
get
social,
good,
social
services
to
them
and
their
families
and
keeping
them
away.
You
know
from
a
path
that
none
of
us
want
them
to
get
out.
So
again,
you
know,
like
I
said
you
know
earlier,
I
am
confident
the
plane
the
city
has
in
the
collective
efforts
of
everyone
in
here
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
ensure
a
safe
summer
for
everybody.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
as
a
faith
leader.
I
am
deeply
committed,
along
with
our
faith
community
here
in
boston,
and
we
believe
that
it
is
important
that
we
connect
deeply
with
our
community
with
our
young
people,
with
our
elders
to
ensure
that
there
are
healthy
opportunities
that
are
provided
to
create
a
safe
summer
at
12th
baptist
church.
C
For
years,
we
have
been
in
our
community
doing
peace
walks
and
we've
been
able
to
partner
with
various
organizations
with
our
city,
with
our
law
enforcement,
to
be
out
in
the
community
and
to
walk
in
our
community
and
get
to
know
our
neighbors.
It
has
been
a
blessing
to
our
church
and
a
blessing
to
our
partners,
as
well
as
to
those
who
serve
in
our
communities.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
every
block
in
boston
is
provided
for
and
resourced
and,
most
importantly
safe.
We
should
be
excited
for
the
summer.
C
And
so
we
are
excited
about
this
partnership.
We're
excited
for
the
re-envisioning
of
this
this
opportunity
to
build
safe
communities
to
adopt
these
blocks
and
as
we
move
forward,
we
hope
that
this
is
a
model
that
will
be
replicated
across
our
city
in
every
block
that
we
have.
So
I
want
to
thank
mayor
wu.
I
want
to
thank
the
city.
I
want
to
thank
each
and
every
one
of
our
community
partners
and
we
look
forward
to
having
a
healthy
and
safe
summer
this
year.
God
bless.
B
The
boston
public
health
commission
offers
intervention
and
prevention
programs,
including
the
safe
and
successful
youth
initiative,
which
connects
young
people
impacted
by
gun,
violence
to
mental
health
services
and
education
and
skills
programs,
and
so
I
do
want
to
give
the
chance
for
our
chief
of
human
services,
jose
masseau,
to
say
a
few
words
as
well
as
reverend,
and
then
reverend
mark
scott,
representing
boston,
public
health
commission.
After
that.
G
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
wu
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
all
the
great
work
taking
place
at
boston,
center's,
youth
and
families.
First
and
foremost,
I
also
want
to
echo
the
sentiments
shared
today
as
a
father
of
a
10
year
old
and
14
year.
Old,
this
morning's
drive
to
school
was
a
little
bit
slower.
G
G
The
many
great
things
are
happening
here
at
the
tobin
with
john
jackson
and
his
staff
and
his
team
ensuring
that
they're
safe,
engaging
high
quality
programs
for
young
people
in
this
community
same
with
our
girls
program
and
africa
butler
and
all
the
great
work
that
she's
done
and
all
the
wonderful
things
that's
taking
place
throughout
the
city.
Big
round
of
applause,
please
just
to
acknowledge
and
uplift
the
wonderful
staff
members
that
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
over
the
past
three
weeks,
and
it's
amazing
the
many
bostonians
that
have
a
connection
to
our
bcyf
centers.
G
They
have
a
story
similar
to
commissioner
rivera
that
they
share
with
us
and
say
what
these
centers
have
meant
to
them.
We
are
ensuring
that,
as
we
go
through
our
summer
months,
that
our
young
people,
when
they
get
older,
could
also
have
the
same
stories
if
they
can
say
that
they
participated
in
a
glow-in-the-dark,
dodgeball
tournament
at
our
high
park
center
or
they
were
with
the
parents
in
the
pickleball
tournament
as
well
at
many
of
our
other
senses
as
well.
G
So
as
this
past
weekend
acknowledged
during
the
heat
emergency,
we
are
opening
our
spaces
for
families,
for
young
people,
for
all
residents
to
be
engaged
to
be
committed
and
to
reconnect
with
each
other,
especially
on
the
heels
of
the
pandemic.
So
thank
you
once
again
and
make
sure
you
check
out
our
website
to
get
more
information
on
the
programming
that's
taking
place
for
this
upcoming
summer
cam
joy.
All
the
many
quality
programs
are
taking
place,
get
the
information
needed
make
sure
you
register
as
well.
Thank
you.
H
I
want
to
start
by
holding
up
something
that
was
given
to
me
this
morning
about
grove
hall,
neighborhood
resources.
This
was
put
together
by
eight
students
at
the
burke
high
school,
and
so
I
just
want
to
shout
out
young
people
themselves
for
the
things
that
they
do
to
improve
and
make
their
neighborhood
safe.
H
But
it
stops
serving
people
at
the
age
of
24
and
what
we're
aware
of
by
looking
at
the
evidence
is
that
there
are
people
much
older
than
that
who
are
involved
in
and
impacted
and
made
most
vulnerable
to
community
gun
violence.
H
So
we've
been
able
to
with
some
additional
resources
from
the
city
to
be
able
to
serve
older
adults
who
need
to
be
connected
with
mental
health
services,
education
services
and
back
into
the
workforce,
and
so
we're
being
able
to
expand
that
we
call
it
the
men's
health
initiative
and
that
we
will
be
able
to
continue
to
do
that.
Work
throughout
the
summer
and
then
in
spite
of
all
of
what
we've
talked
about,
we
will
experience
violence
this
summer,
and
so
the
neighborhood
trauma
team
network
is
a
is
a
network
of
of
many
organizations.
H
25
26
27
organizations
from
the
very
large
hospitals,
with
the
emergency
departments,
to
small
grassroots
organizations
that
are
embedded
in
the
neighborhood
and
one
is
the
trauma
response
team,
and
so
those
are
the
people
who
will
come
out
into
the
community
in
the
aftermath
of
community
violence
and
to
begin
their
the
healing
process
as
they
partner
with
the
hospitals
they
partner
with
community-based
organizations
as
they
work
with
the
community
health
centers
to
get
people
on
the
road
to
recovery
and
healing.
That's
the
neighborhood
trauma
team
network.
B
I
I
There
are
roughly
about
000
or
so
summer,
job
opportunities
still
available
for
young
people.
Our
engagement,
outreach
team
has
been
doing
an
incredible
job
as
well
as
our
employment
team,
pushing
young
people
through
the
process
and
engaging
and
connecting
with
young
people
across
schools
across
the
neighborhoods.
I
We
encourage
each
one
of
you
all
to
to
share
the
message
and
make
sure
that
if
you
come
in
contact
with
a
young
person
with
a
family
that
is
looking
for
summer
job
opportunity,
please
direct
them
to
our
webpage
youth.boston.gov
and
you
know
together.
We
will
make
sure
that
young
people
are
engaged
in
summer
opportunities.
J
How's
everybody
doing
happy
wednesday,
I'm
dave
o
jefferson,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
power
corps
boston
power.
Club
boston
is
one
of
many
of
the
components
that
make
up
mayor,
wolves,
green
new
deal.
We
are
workforce
development
program
and
we
will
be
training
folks
to
be
employed
in
the
green
industry.
A
little
nervous
up
here.
J
This
is
my
first
time
at
a
press
conference,
but
I'm
gonna
do
what
I
gotta
do
here,
because
this
is
for
the
young
folks
that
I'm
serving
out
in
the
community
so
power,
core
boston,
is
a
workforce
development
training
program
and
we
will
be
preparing
folks
to
get
employed
and
trained
to
get
jobs
in
the
green
industry.
So
what
is
the
green
industry?
It's
anything
that
has
to
deal
with
climate
change
or
environmental
justice.
J
J
What
will
a
person
get
through
coming
through
our
program?
They'll
receive
550
dollars
per
week,
while
they're
going
through
the
training
they'll
receive
hard
and
soft
skills
which
will
prepare
them
for
the
line
of
work,
they're
doing
and
also
help
them
to
navigate
the
spaces
and
settings
that
they'll
be
doing.
This
work
in
and
they'll
also
receive
support
services
wrap
around
type
services
that
allow
them
to
navigate
any
obstacles
that
they'll
encounter
while
they're
going
through
this
training.
J
Some
of
the
requirements
for
our
program
participants,
you
need
to
be
a
boston
resident.
You
need
to
be
between
the
ages
of
18
to
30..
You
need
to
have
a
high
school
diploma
ged
or
a
high
set.
We
highly
recommend
anybody.
That's
had
any
kind
of
interaction
with
the
criminal
justice
system
to
apply.
This
might
be
a
great
opportunity
for
you.
We
are
launching
june
13th
so
soon
coming.
J
J
J
It's
a
really
good
opportunity
for
our
young
folks
to
make
a
big
difference
in
their
communities
and
in
helping
to
fight
climate
change
and
also
make
some
money.
While
doing
so.
Thank
you
guys
for
having
me.
I'm
dave,
o
jefferson
powercore.org
check
us
out.
If
you
have
a
young
person
that
might
be
a
good
fit
for
our
program.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
so
much
director
cope
and
director
jefferson,
that
is
it
it's
a
it's
a
taste
of
what
the
city's
been
working
on.
We
are
truly
coming
at
this
from
every
angle
to
create
the
spaces,
the
programming,
the
supports
and
services
and
partnerships
that
we
need
to
truly
wrap
around
our
young
people
and
families
this
summer
and
to
deliver
the
joyful
safe
summer
that
we
all
deserve
after
after
so
many
years
and
such
challenge.
B
We
really
want
to
emphasize
today
that
the
safety
of
the
city
is
really
our
collective
responsibility
and
so
we're
working
to
break
down
every
possible
silo
and
barrier
within
city
government
and
to
invite
in
everyone
from
our
community
to
be
part
of
this
as
well.
Thank
you
so
much
any
questions
for
anyone
up
here.
E
So,
of
course,
we
sent
a
note
around
with
resources
to
our
families.
Last
night
we
also
met
with
our
principals
over
safety
procedures.
Rick
durany
who's
here
with
us
today,
as
well
as
deputy
depena
and
chief
coakley
grice,
are
also
here
have
been
working
directly
on
our
safety
plans.
As
you
know,
every
year
schools
have
to
have
safety
plans
in
our
schools.
We
do
do
intruder
drills,
but
not
with
our
students.
E
We
do
that
with
our
faculty
and
staff,
so
they
know
how
to
exit
the
building
that
sort
of
thing,
and
so
we've
asked
our
principals
to
review
those
with
their
staffs
and
make
sure
that
we
are
adequately
prepared.
We
also
partner
with
bpd
and
community
policing
as
well
and
assessing
all
threats.
We
do
that
in
collaboration
with
the
mayor's
office
and
so
making
sure
that
we
keep
our
pulse
on
any
threats
that
are
out
there.
E
But
today,
I
think,
is
a
day
where
they'll
be
caring
for
their
students
and
doing
circles
and
trying
to
help
their
students
manage
through
what
they
what
they
saw
yesterday.
F
Each
district
has
a
list
of
schools
that
are
on
the
like
that
are
assigned
to
their
district,
so
it
doesn't
just
happen
like
today.
It
goes.
You
know
every
day
of
the
school
year
we
have
officers
assigned
to
these
schools
in
the
morning
in
the
afternoon,
so
they
already
have
that
that
coverage
from
the
boston
police
department
in
terms
of
the
procedures
of
the
boston,
school,
boston,
public
schools,
you
know
our
school
police
unit
in
our
police.
You
know
we
work
with
them
to
go
over
that.
F
You
know,
there's
gonna,
be
discussions
in
terms
of
you
know
as
they
assess
some
of
their.
You
know
security
measures,
any
any
expertise
that
we
can
lend
to
that
and
suggestions
that
we
will,
but
that
that
is
underway.
F
Our
police
department
and
the
schools
work
together
every
day.
There's
constant
communication
about
incidents
that
go
on
the
schools
each
and
every
day.
F
You
know,
I
think
any
parent
wakes
up
this
morning
and
wonders
if
this,
if
their
child's
safe-
all
I
can
say
is
you
know,
in
terms
of
the
boston
police
department,
we're
gonna
do
everything
we
can
to
ensure
the
safety
of
the
children
and,
again,
like
I
said
we,
you
know
we
we
work
with
the
boston
public
schools
and
we
will
be
assessing
whatever
security
measures
they
they
have
in
every
single
school
in
the
city.
B
The
reality
is
that
we
are
working
and
focused
to,
of
course,
respond
to
incidents
that
come
up
in
every
every
every
part
of
the
city
and
in
every
setting,
but
the
best
way
that
we
can
deliver
the
safe,
joyful
connected
communities
that
our
families
deserve
is
to
build
a
welcoming
community
where
everyone
is
supported.
Everyone
can
reach
their
fullest
potential
and
have
what
they
need
to
thrive.
B
First
and
having
the
strong
partnerships
with
our
faith
leaders
with
community
organizations
with
folks
who
are
on
the
ground
every
day,
working
with
our
young
people
on
the
streets
and
knowing
even
to
the
degree
that
we
can
predict
and
prevent
and
head
off
any
situation
from
happening.
That
is
the
ultimate
goal,
and
so
I
have
full
faith
and
trust
in
our
ability
to
respond.
But
we
don't
even
ever
want
to
be
in
that
position
to
begin
with,
and-
and
we
do
so
by
building
the
safe,
welcoming
healthy
communities
that
we
know
is
possible
here.
K
For
I
understand
that
there
are
some
privacy
laws
that
prevent
certain
communication
between
the
schools
and
police
department.
So
I'm
just
wondering
how
you
guys
continue
to
work
together,
particularly
when
people
involved
in
incidents
of
people
causing
harm
are
themselves
students.
E
Yes,
so
we
have
a
policy
that
we
passed
around
data
privacy
because
we
have
federal
requirements
around
student
privacy
that
we
have
to
hold
to
and
we
have
outlined
those
situations
in
which
we
share
with
the
police
and
when
we
don't
and
what
types
of
information
gets
shared
when
the
police
make
a
request-
and
it
is
immediate
health
and
safety
need.
It
is
the
police
who
get
the
information,
because
it
is
an
immediate
and
health
need,
and
so
they
have
immediate
access
to
that.
