B
Honorable,
thank
you
all
for
coming
so
good
evening
and
Welcome
to
our
both
our
in-person
guests
here
at
the
Monroe
County
Public
Library,
and
our
online
guests
attending
via
Zoom
welcome.
B
Thank
you
all
for
attending
safety
for
all
at
the
expense
of
none,
a
town
hall
on
Public
Safety
in
Bloomington
Indiana
tonight's
event
is
hosted
by
the
alternative
for
Public
Safety,
special
Committee
of
the
community
advisory
for
Public
Safety.
Commission.
Our
committee
includes
three
Commissioners
myself,
Jason
McCulloch,
as
well
as
National
routzong
who's.
Here
in
the
room
and
Pamela
Brown
Sparks
who's
joining
us
on
Zoom.
B
We
realized
there
is
a
mayoral
candidate
for
him
tonight.
However,
this
date
was
the
only
event
or
the
only
evening
we
were
able
to
book
the
auditorium
for
this
event.
So
we
gladly
appreciate
those
of
you
who
have
prioritized
this
event
in
your
schedule.
B
A
A
A
This
is
a
harm
reduction
based
approach.
In
the
three
years
since
we
were
established,
we
have
worked
towards
making
several
such
recommendations
to
the
city.
Our
first
three
resolutions
passed
by
the
Caps
commission,
have
protected
the
safety
of
Muslim
residents,
Jewish
residents
and
those
people
who
can
become
pregnant.
A
You
can
read
those
three
resolutions
on
our
website
in
each
of
those
resolutions.
We
first
performed
research
on
the
issue,
as
well
as
community
outreach
with
those
most
affected
by
these
problems
before
making
our
final
recommendations
to
the
city
for
the
project
of
advising
on
alternative
public
safety
programs.
We
first
agreed
on
our
process,
which
we
are
going
to
tell
you
about.
Next,
then,
we
performed
coordinated
individual
research
on
the
best
practices
and
major
challenges
on
this
topic.
A
A
Our
commission
is
also
joined
today
in
this
project
by
two
other
organizations
from
our
community
sea
Jam
or
three
other
organizations
from
our
community
c-jam
help
ourselves,
Mutual,
Aid
and
net
impact.
Iu
cjam
is
the
community
Justice
and
mediation
Center,
a
trusted
Community
organization
made
up
of
staff
and
volunteers
who
mediate
conflicts
and
facilitate
discussions
like
this
one
in
our
community,
using
the
model
of
restorative
justice
and
participatory
decision
making.
D
Our
gold
bar
one
to
recommend
a
community-led
alternative
public
safety
program
based
on
the
principles
of
poverty,
decriminalization,
human
dignity,
racial
Equity,
harm
reduction
and
restorative
justice.
Two
to
empower
our
community
to
have
maximum
control
over
program,
design,
implementation
and
oversight.
Three:
to
ensures
to
build
sustainability
of
the
program
through
detailed
recommendations
for
budgeting
plans,
institutional
Partners,
Staffing
and
key
performance
indicators.
A
Our
process
has
three
steps.
First,
we
performed
research,
including
studying
the
most
successful
cases
of
alternative
public
safety
programs
around
the
nation
and
some
outside
of
the
us,
including
contacting
and
interviewing
operators
of
these
programs,
in
most
cases,
to
find
out
what
they
would
do
better
and
what
worked
best.
A
Finally,
when
we
have
finished
hearing
from
everyone
in
our
community
who
wants
to
speak
to
us
about
this
topic,
we
will
complete
our
final
analysis
and
recommendations
based
on
the
culmination
of
this
work
to
the
commission,
where
we
will
then
discuss
and
vote
on
the
recommendations
if
passed
by
the
commission.
The
recommendations
will
be
sent
to
the
city,
including
the
mayor's
office
and
the
common
Council,
where
they
will
decide
whether
and
how
to
implement
our
recommendations.
B
D
Our
main
findings
were
first,
humans
have
basic
needs
and
when
our
needs
are
and
are
not
adequately
met,
we
will
do
whatever
it
takes
to
meet
those
needs.
Whether
or
not
we
design
a
society
that
meets
everyone's
needs
does
not
change
the
fact
that
those
needs
will
continue
to
exist.
This
means
that
meeting
the
basic
needs
of
everyone
in
our
community
is
the
only
long-term
sustainable
way
to
prevent
crime
in
any
society.
For
example,
let's
take
a
common
issue
for
residents
in
Bloomington
housing.
Affordability.
D
Now
in
Bloomington,
I
had
no
options
but
to
break
numerous
laws
every
day,
simply
to
live
between
loitering
the
listening
littering
sleeping
in
parking
Etc.
There
is
hardly
anything
I
can
do
as
a
healthy
and
safe
human
being
residing
in
our
city
that
did
not
violate
the
law.
Yet
none
of
these
so-called
criminal
acts
threaten
the
safety
of
others.
D
The
word
Public
Safety
are
commonly
taken
as
synonym
for
law
enforcement
in
our
society,
but
our
special
committee
has
learned
through
our
research
that
many
laws
would
enforce
in
fact,
directly
endanger
the
safety
of
our
minority
residents.
In
fact,
studies
conducted
over
60
years
on
City
police
expenditures
and
violent
crime
rates,
so
no
correlation
with
higher
police
spending
and
violent
crime
with
these
Studies
have
found
conclusively,
however,
is
that
higher
Police
Department's
visiting
consistently
increases
one
thing:
misdemeanor
arrest
for
low-level
crime.
D
These
are
arrests
for
non-violent
crimes
which
create
disproportionate
harm
and
Injustice
against
people
living
in
communities
of
color
and
marginalized
people
such
as
the
unhoused,
disabled
or
drug
users.
So
in
many
ways,
increase
spending
and
hiring
in
the
police
department
can
and
do
create
more
harm.
More
Injustice
and
raise
costs
all
without
reducing
violent
crime,
on
the
other
hand,
directly
meeting
the
basic
needs
of
people
through
increased
access
to
housing,
Health
Care,
especially
mental
health
care
and
drug
treatment,
has
definitively
shown
to
reduce
crime
in
a
cost-effective
way.
D
Furthermore,
community,
policing
or
using
unarmed
but
highly
trained
peer
responders
to
respond
to
non-violent
emergencies
has
been
shown
not
to
increase
this
during
their
risk
or
Justice
for
marginalized
people
as
higher
police
spending
deaths.
In
fact,
studies
that
have
been
done
on
the
community
policing
program
in
Denver
showed
that
it
led
to
a
34
decrease
in
low-level
non-violent
crimes,
while
violent
crime
did
not
increase
at
all,
and
many
police
Advocates
had
feared
and
said
that
they
would
cost
wise.
D
The
community
program
in
Denver
caused
the
city
around
25
percent
or
one
quarter
of
the
budget
of
police
state
to
reduce
the
same
number
account
of
crimes.
That
means
community
policing
programs
may
be
more
times
as
cost
effective
as
raising
police
budgets
and
without
the
negative
effects
that
lead
to
social
justice
injustice
where
marginalized
people
in
our
communities.
D
When
we
confuse
law
enforcement
with
Public
Safety,
this
actually
hides
the
reality
that
our
laws
make
from
people
in
our
community
safer
and
others
who
left
State,
therefore
are
approved,
and
the
name
of
this
event
is
safety
for
all,
because
we
want
to
help
our
city
decide
what
safety
for
all
at
the
expense
of
none
would
look
like
to
achieve
in
Bloomington
and
what
a
community-led
approach
to
that
might
look
like.
We
have
also
found
in
our
research
that
all
communities
are
different
and
each
Community
knows
what's
best
with
their
own
safety
needs.
D
A
This
is
a
photo
of
oh
yeah.
This
is
a
photo
actually
of
Denver's
community
policing
program
at
work.
Actually,
I
think
it's
from
USA
Today,
some
of
the
best
practices
we
have
found
from
around
the
U.S
in
reducing
crime
costs
and
Injustice
are
one
crisis
response
systems
that
are
community-led
peer-staffed
and
non-coercive
for
responding
to
non-violent
calls
for
help.
A
Furthermore,
in
the
best
systems
there
was
a
separate
phone
number
provided
to
the
public
to
call
that
response
team
to
ensure
it
would
not
be
answered
by
an
armed
officer,
two
resilient
self-organized
neighborhoods,
when
we
stop
viewing
Public
Safety
from
the
lens
of
law
enforcement
and
start
seeing
it
as
resilience
and
strength.
The
neighborhoods
become
important.
A
A
resilient,
stable
city
is
one
with
strong
resilient
neighborhoods.
Strong
neighborhoods
are
ones
where
neighbors
know
each
other
and
work
together
to
resolve
their
needs.
The
main
challenge
is
to
strong
and
resilient
neighborhoods
are
a
lack
of
economic
resources,
a
lack
of
organization
and
lack
of
social
justice.
A
A
A
This
is
simply
the
only
Humane
approach
in
a
society
where
we
have
the
resources
for
everyone
to
live
safely.
Why
should
we
exclude
anyone
from
that
safety?
Our
research
tells
us,
we
should
not
exclude
anyone
and
in
fact,
by
doing
so
we
are
violating
these
people's
basic
human
rights
and
their
human
dignity.
B
Mind
the
gap
that
space
where
Public
Safety
seems
to
be
in
scarce
Supply,
for
instance,
the
Gap
that
sometimes
exists
between
law
enforcement
and
Public
Safety,
where
safety
can
only
be
had
for
someone
seemingly
at
the
expense
of
another's
safety,
is
what
we
plan
to
focus
on
tonight,
because
our
work
has
shown
that,
materially
speaking,
there's
no
necessity,
it's
a
sacrifice
or
neglect.
Even
one
person's
safety
for
another
person's
Public
Safety
should
not
be
a
scarce
resource.
B
We
can
live
in
a
community
where
everyone
has
their
basic
needs
met,
producing
a
public
safety
that
lives
up
to
its
name,
for
instance,
with
the
previous
example
of
housing.
Would
you
believe
me
if
I
told
you
that
our
community
already
has
all
the
resources
it
needs
to
house
every
person
in
the
community
right
now?
B
Furthermore,
a
2019
study,
called
The
Business
of
homelessness
conducted
by
the
picture
of
homeless
research
committee,
found
that
most
cities
spending
many
times
more
on
managing
the
homelessness
than
they
spend
more
many
more
times
on
managing
homelessness
than
the
cost
of
permanently
providing
housing
for
all
homeless
citizens
between
spending
on
temporary
shelter,
Medical
Services,
private
security,
extra
policing,
Prosecuting
and
incarceration
of
unhoused
people.
Our
own
Community
also
likely
spends
many
times
more
than
the
costs
of
directly
providing
that
basic
housing
for
all.
B
Of
course,
lack
of
access
to
Affordable
and
safe
housing
is
only
one
of
the
unmet
basic
needs
that
drive
crime
in
our
community,
but
we
use
this
example
because
it
is
one
of
the
more
prominent
ones
and
one
of
the
more
basic
this
same
fallacious.
Thinking,
though,
leads
to
sacrificing
one
person's
safety
for
another's
and
that's
at
play
with
many
other
types
of
unmet
human
needs
in
our
society
tonight.
B
D
Then
community
policing
is
proven
to
dramatically
reduce
costs,
social
ingested
and
low-level
crime,
but
what
about
a
violent
crime
and
homicide
that
the
crimes
that
we
want
to
be?
We
want
police
to
be
making
more
res
for
and
what
are
the
systemic
causes
of
homelessness,
drug
use
and
mental
illness,
which
all
see
my
drivers
of
all
kinds
of
crime
in
Bloomington.
Recent
economic
and
epidemiological
evidence
showed
that
economic
inequality
or
the
disparity
in
wealth
and
income
among
all
the
people
living
in
the
community
is
a
reliable
predictor
in
Rising
rates.
Of
all
these
things.
D
In
fact,
income
inequality
is
even
a
stronger
predictor
of
mental
illness,
drug
use,
violence
and
homicide
compared
to
Absolute
levels
of
poverty.
That's
right,
living
in
a
community
with
high
disparity
among
the
richest
and
the
poorest,
leads
to
worst
social
outcomes
than
comparable
communities
where
everyone
is
likely
poor
or
even
impoverished.
The
weirdest
Bloomington
fall
on
that
sale.
D
According
to
the
latest
County
Health,
breaking
published
by
University
of
Wisconsin
using
five
years
of
data
Monroe
County
has
the
highest
income
inequality
of
all
92
counties
of
Indiana.
The
scientific
and
historical
evidence
is
overwhelmingly
conclusive.
All
of
us,
regardless
of
our
income
or
social
status,
are
only
truly
a
safe
and
secure
as
the
most
vulnerable
and
marginalized
people
living
in
our
community.
A
With
that
said,
we
know
that
each
Community
is
different
and
our
City's
Public
Safety
needs
are
going
to
be
different
than
any
other
communities.
So
now
we
want
to
hear
about
bloomington's
Public
Safety
needs
from
you.
So
here
are
three
questions.
To
start
you
thinking
on
your
way
to
the
breakout
rooms,
one.
What
are
your
unmet
safety
needs
and
those
of
your
family,
two
who's
being
who's
currently
being
excluded
by
our
institutions
of
Public
Safety,
and
how
might
we
try
to
bring
those
people
inside
of
that
Circle
of
safety?
A
B
So
now
we'll
break
up
into
smaller
groups
to
so
you
can
share
your
experiences
in
a
more
intimate
and
safe
setting.
B
You
can
reflect
on
what
here
we'll
reflect
on
what
we
hear
and
deliberate
on
some
important
questions.
If
you
have
a
blue
dot,
you'll
go
to
room
1B.
A
B
B
Thank
you
all
right.
Well,
welcome!
Back
welcome
back
to
safety
for
all
at
the
expense
of
none,
a
town
hall
on
Public
Safety
in
Bloomington.
Thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
your
experiences
in
public
safety
with
others
in
the
breakout
rooms.
B
We
look
forward
to
collecting
the
information
gathered
from
this
event
and
using
it
to
make
important
decisions
in
our
work
in
the
next
10
minutes.
We
will
share
some
information
about
how
to
reach
us
how
to
share
next
steps
in
this
project
and,
finally,
we'll
share
some
results
of
the
data
that
we
have
gathered
so
far
from
the
pre-event
survey
and
from
Key
stakeholder
Outreach
that
we
performed
with
institutional
leaders
in
our
community.
A
Okay,
oh
that's
not
my
slide.
D
Work
it
wasn't
it,
but
was
it
able
to
attend
our
event
or
would
you
like
follow
up
or
expand
on
some
of
your
information
that
you
share
tonight
with
us
in
more
detail?
Our
committee
will
continue
our
community
outreach
during
the
month
of
April
to
make
sure
we
have
included
everyone
in
the
community
who
wants
to
be
involved
in
our
project
would
like
to
schedule
a
one-on-one,
Zoom
or
in-person
meeting
with
us
to
share
your
thoughts.
D
A
E
Hello,
so
what
we
talked
about
in
our
breakout
rooms
was
issues
that
kind
of
surrounded
crimes
of
poverty.
So
when
we
were
talking
about
things
that
you
know,
we
could
do
better.
It
was
one
of
the
things
where
how
we
need
to
stop
criminalizing
those
who
need
help
in
our
system
by
offering
programs
alternative
ways
for
them
to
receive
help
from
like
working
with
non-profit
groups,
government
organizations
and
on
on
top
of
all
this
policy,
so
also
using
policy
to
create
change
and
working
with.
E
You
know,
government
officials,
to
you
know-
or
you
know,
electing
new
ones-
to
try
to
create
an
environments
that
you
know,
allows
public
input,
so
allow
public
input
to
change,
transform
and
look
for
more
evidence-based
ways
to
create
change
in
the
community,
whether
it's
and
that
doesn't
disfranchises.
Those
with
disabilities
who
are
seniors,
who
are
children,
of
course,
have
child
care
or
people
who
have
substance
abuse
issues.
F
Think
quite
a
few
people
were
coming
from
the
perspective
of
being
in
a
in
a
moment
where
you
what
to
call
for
help
for
someone
else
in
our
group,
this
came
up
quite
a
bit
and
and
being
in
some
cases
devastated
by
the
options
wanting
to
call
someone
who
can
who
can
you
seize
harm
or
crisis
or
the
potential
for
harm
and
wanting
to
get
help,
but
wanting
to
do
that
in
a
way
that
won't
perpetuate
harm
and
several
people
had
experiences
of
of
knowing
going
into
a
situation
that
the
police
police
showing
up
would
escalate
would
cause
more
harm.
F
But
just
literally
didn't
know
what
to
do
in
that
moment,
and
so
called
the
police.
You
know
didn't
know
what
other
options
there
were,
or
you
know
yeah.
They
know
we
have
like
a
a
alternative
intervention
officer
downtown,
but
it
was
after
hours
and
that
person
wasn't
available
and
just
the
sense
of
you
know
who
do
I
call
literally.
What
do
I
do
in
that
moment?
F
So
several
people
were
speaking
from
that
place
also
from
people
who
who
work
with
marginalized
and
criminalized
populations
in
different
capacities
or
have
been
part
of
them
or
identify
with
those
groups,
and
this
the
theme
that
came
up
was
this
idea
that
the
folks
who
are
most
vulnerable
are
also
perceived
as
the
threat
at
times
and
how
we,
you
know,
rely
on
the
jail
as
sort
of
the
only
safe
place
for
people
to
go,
who
are
who
are
the
most
vulnerable,
so
that
came
up,
and
so
in
terms
of
the
steps
for
moving
forward.
F
One
big
idea
was,
we
just
see:
we
need
more
education
about
what
is
out
there,
that
there
are
some
Alternatives
already,
but
but
it's
not
as
accessible
or
as
easy
to
to
know
how
to
access
that.
So
how
do
we
get
public
education
about
what
is
out
there
and,
and
then,
where
are
the
service
gaps?
Are
there
times
of
day
areas
of
town
where
you
can't
get
service?
F
How
do
we
fund
more
services
to
fill
those
gaps
and
then
just
looking
at
at
the
yeah,
just
the
the
challenges
around
I'm
losing
my
train
of
thought
here,
but
yeah.
So
a
lot
of
the
solutions
we
talked
about
were
coming
from
that
place
and
then
oh-
and
this
was
really
big.
This
came
up
in
many
ways,
but
really
listening
to
the
communities
that
are
most
impacted
by
the
problem,
we're
trying
to
solve.
F
So
if
it's,
if
it's
unhoused
folks,
you
know
really
listening
to
like
how
are
they
already
addressing
their
Public
Safety
needs
and
understanding
that
there's
so
much
knowledge
about.
You
know
among
people
who
are
most
impacted
and
really
letting
that
knowledge
lead
our
steps
so.
G
There
are
plenty
of
similarities
in
our
group
to
what
the
other
groups
have
brought
up
where
I
think
in
terms
of
some
of
the
ideas
they
they
came
about
to
me.
It
sounded
like
they
sort
of
covered
a
couple
of
different
things,
one
of
which
was
especially
talking
about
trying
to
prevent
some
of
these.
These
problems,
or
some
of
the
things
that
come
up
before
they
become
sort
of
Crisis
crises,
or
you
know
things
where
we
have
to
have
some
kind
of
intervention.
That
goes.
You
know
beyond
that.
G
It
might
not
always
be
the
appropriate
place
to
go,
and
so
not
just
having
like
one
one
place,
but
also
multiple
places
where
people
can
can
be
safe
and
just
be
when
whenever
they
need
to
be,
is
a
really
important
piece
also
supports
for
people
who
are
having
difficulty
at
work.
This
came
up
in
a
couple
of
different
ways,
one
of
which
was,
if,
if
you
are
a
worker
and
feeling
you're
like
you're,
not
supported
by
the
people
around
you
you're
not
supported
by
you,
know,
like
bosses
Administration.
G
That
sort
of
thing,
then
that
can
make
you
feel
come
on
unsafe
in
in
your
work
and
make
it
very
difficult
for
you
to
continue
to
to
show
up
to
work
and
be
able
to
engage
in
ways
that
are
appropriate,
but
also
like
thinking
about
that
in
terms
of
people.
Even
if
you
know
you,
you
are
struggling
with
other
kinds
of
things
that
are
making
it
difficult
for
you
to
do
your
job
effectively.
G
It's
not
necessarily
about
feeling
like
the
the
people
of
Indian
Administration
is
not
supportive,
but
even
trying
to
think
through,
like
how
can
you
have
those
conversations
about
the
things
you're
struggling
with?
If
you
are
in
a
work
environment
or
if
you
have
are
having
life
problems
outside
of
work?
How
can
you
talk
about
those
things
at
work
in
a
way
where
can
be
supported
and
maintain
your
work
can
be
a
really
important
piece,
and
so
just
having
those
supports
for
people
to
be
able
to
maintain
jobs
while
dealing
with
other
life.
G
Things
is
a
really
important
aspect,
also,
and
also
like
violent
crime
prevention.
It
came
up
and
so
possibly
having
community-based
conflict
resolution
initiatives
again,
making
it
a
lot
easier
to
deal
with
these
things
on
the
front
end
and
try
and
prevent
it
rather
than
trying
to
deal
with
it
after
it
happens,
and
then
another
thing
was
trying
to
have
more
opportunities
for
people
to
learn
about
things.
G
So
one
idea
that
came
about
was
to
have
you
know:
kids
visit
like
a
homeless,
shelter,
other
kinds
of
places
so
that
they
can
really
engage
in
and
learn
about
people
and
humanize
them
and
understand
some
of
those
things
so
that
again,
it
doesn't
feel
as
scary,
but
also
you
know
it.
They
were
talking
about
how
much
that
can
really
benefit
people
in
those
places
too,
because
the
presence
of
kids
sometimes
can
really
affect
things
in
a
positive
way
for
every
everyone's
feeling
of
safety
in
a
certain
setting.
G
So
those
are
some
of
the
more
preventative
things
and
then
some
of
the
interventions
we
we
talked
about
were
you
know,
holding
service
providers
accountable
for
letting
people
go,
who
are
still
vulnerable,
so
not
releasing
people
just
because
they
don't
have
ability
to
pay
or
having
pay,
be
such
a
barrier
to
to
services
and
at
a
mobile
crisis
initiative
or
a
phone
tree,
including
like
988,
which
is
something
that
samsa
is
putting
together,
which
substance
abuse
mental
health
service,
Services,
Administration
I
forget
the
exact
name
of
the
acronym,
but
but
having
teams
to
respond
to
things
in
a
way.
G
You
have
to
be
on
the
streets,
organizing
and
so
having
people
actually
directly
engaging
in
in
spaces
where
they're
trying
to
do
this
work
can
be
a
really
important
thing
and
not
just
doing
things
based
on
more
theoretical
things,
but
actually
like
directly
engaging
in
in
the
work
where
it's
happened
and
can
be
a
really
important
piece
and
then
lastly,
I
just
want
to
bring
up
the
the
concerns
about
having
those
Christ
intervention
teams
that
are
are
unarmed
or
don't
have
like
armor
those
kinds
of
things.
G
One
thing
that
people
brought
up
was
just
you
know
the
the
concern
for
the
safety
of
the
interveners
or
unintended
consequences
there,
and
some
of
the
safety
concerns
around
that
for
people
who
are
trying
to
to
intervene
in
those
ways,
but
also
one
of
the
things
that
makes
it
really
difficult
is
the
feelings
that
people
have
when
they
feel
like
the
things
that
they
are
using
to
feel
protected
or
feel
safe,
also
can
feel
threatening
to
other
people.
So
one
of
those
things
that
was
brought
up
was
knives.
G
It's
like
the
presence
of
knives
being
something
that
is
being
seen
more
in
certain
shelters,
but
partly
because
people
are
trying
to
protect
themselves,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
also
making
the
people
around
them
feel
less
safe.
And
so
the
presence
of
the
things
that
are
making
people
feel
safe,
also
causing
people
to
feel
unsafe,
is
a
really
difficult
tension.
H
All
right
so
I
think
that
in
my
group,
one
of
the
big
things
that
came
up
was
a
discussion
about
being
proactive
versus
reactive
and
I.
Think
that
these
tide
ended
up
tying
into
a
lot
of
what
other
people
were
talking
about.
And
how
do
we
become
more
proactive
and
what
what
issues
led
us
to
where
we
are
today
that
have
created
a
a
public
safety
response?
That's
reactive
instead
of
proactive.
H
So
we
talked
about
how
to
overcome
this
through
education
and
understanding
how
we
ended
up
where
we
are
today
and
why
we
ended
up
where
we
are
today.
So
what
caused
these
discrepancies
in
public
safety
and
that
sort
of
led
to
a
topic
on
dehumanization
and
how
that
ends
up
leading
to
marginalized
groups
and
those
people
end
up
being
left
out
of
the
conversation.
So
then,
you
end
up
with
Public
Safety
responses
that
are
serving
one
group
and
not
everybody.
H
So
we
felt
that
education
was
really
important
in
overcoming
this
and
Public
Training,
making
sure
that
everybody
understands
how
to
respond
if
there's
a
crisis
in
public
and
you're
around,
and
that
would
sort
of
help
lessen
dependency
on
armed
police
officers
as
well
and
also
allocating
resources.
That's
something
that
came
up
over
and
over
and
there's
tension
in.
How
do
you
allocate
resources?
How
how
does
that
happen?
H
B
A
Thank
you
for
sharing
the
those
themes
from
the
breakout
groups.
A
Our
next
steps
are
to
continue
our
community
outreach
during
the
month
of
April
to
make
sure
we
have
listened
to
everyone
in
our
community
who
has
thoughts
to
share
on
this
topic
before
moving
forward.
Then
in
may,
we
plan
to
put
together
our
final
analysis
and
recommendations
into
a
report
that
we
will
submit
to
the
Caps
commission
for
review,
discussion
and
voting.
If
our
recommendations
are
approved
by
the
commission,
then
they
will
be
sent
to
the
city
as
recommendations
for
the
common
Council
and
or
mayor's
office.
These
are
a
lot.
A
B
A
Slide
our
last
two
pre-event
survey,
questions
asked
registrants
to
share
with
us
your
experiences
around
threats
to
your
safety
versus
perceptions,
around
threats
to
safety.
As
expected,
there
was
a
large
discrepancy
in
a
few
threat
areas
between
actual
experience,
threats
to
safety
and
the
perceptions
that
people
have
about
threats
to
their
safety
and
I'm.
A
When
we
asked
a
similar
question
about
which
dangers
you
view
as
ongoing
threats,
perception
of
your
and
your
family's
safety
while
living
in
Bloomington
now
the
top
three
were
traffic
again,
but
then
property
damage
and
lack
of
access
to
health
care,
so
that
stayed
the
same
as
well.
I
found
it
interesting
to
note
that
while
most
of
the
threats
were
perceived
higher
than
were
actually
experienced,
there
was
one
singular
distinction.
A
B
Now
for
a
key
institutional
stakeholder,
Outreach
first
I
want
to
preface
this
with
by
saying
we
value
the
privacy
and
confidentiality
of
everyone
who
has
met
with
us.
So
while
we
cannot
share
who
exactly
we
have
talked
with
so
far,
it
has
included
representatives
from
City
officials,
other
operational
stakeholders,
agencies
and
Advocates,
working
with
marginalized
people
every
day,
Business,
Leaders
and
real
estate
professionals.
B
Here
is
just
one
question:
we
asked
them
aggregated
for
comparison
to
our
pre-event
survey
data
on
the
same
question
when
we
asked
our
city
key
institutional
stakeholders
on
Public
Safety,
which
are
the
greatest
dangers
or
threats
to
Public
Safety.
The
top
two
cited
were
mental
illness
and
drug
use,
which
correlates
to
the
category
on
our
pre-event
survey
of
lack
of
health
care,
including
mental
health
care
and
drug
treatment,
which
you
may
remember
was
around
the
third
highest
actually
experienced
danger
by
our
event.
B
B
D
With
all
this
said,
where
do
we
go
from
here
now
that
we
have
identified
some
of
the
key
drivers
of
crime
and
insecurity?
How
can
we
come
together
as
a
community
to
solve
our
own
problem
in
a
way
that
makes
all
of
us
safer?
We
urge
you
to
talk
about
these
problems
in
our
community
with
others
that
you
know
in
your
family,
your
workplace,
at
your
place
of
worship
at
school
or
in
your
college,
classroom,
ask
others
how
they
think
we
should
solve
these
problems.
