If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
For
everybody,
I
think
I
hope
everybody
knows
us
by
now.
My
name
is
reggie
lewis
and
I'm
part
of
the
cure
violence,
columbus
team
here
in
columbus,
georgia.
I
also
have
a
couple
of
my
other
teammates,
dr
asante
hills
from
the
health
department,
as
well
as
cedric
hill
from
people's
watson,
hill
watson,
people's
funeral
home,
where
the
reason
why
we're
here
today
is
to
really
give
your
opportunity
to
hear
from
our
cure
violence,
global
partners,
brent,
decker
and
as
well
as
a.t
mitchell.
A
A
He
can
tell
you
some
very
valuable
information
as
far
as
when
he
started,
and
some
of
the
things
that
he's
been
exposed
to
as
he
moved
forward
with
trying
to
implement
or
implementing
that
process
in
east
brooklyn.
Some
of
the
successes
that
he
has,
but
also
to
talk
through
a
lot
of
the
different
things
associated
with
what
is
required
of
this
process.
A
The
type
of
involvement
that's
involved,
as
well
as
making
sure
you
know
you
all
understand
exactly
and
what
goes
on
with
a
cure
violence
model
and
really
want
to
make
sure
you
know
we
get
your
questions
answered.
This
is
probably
about
a
60-minute
presentation,
we'll
shorten
it
up
a
little
bit,
so
we
can
get
to
those
questions.
A
A
t
has
become
part
of
their
team
as
well,
even
though
he
does
have
the
east
brooklyn
sites,
he
works
with
pure
violence
global
as
well
because
of
the
things
that
he
saw
in
the
success
that
he
saw
in
east
brooklyn.
So
what
I'm
gonna
do
is
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
brent
brent.
If
you
look
up
in
the
top,
I
think
the
top
right
corner,
you
can
show
your
presentation,
it's
an
arrow.
That
points
up.
Let
me
know
if
you
can,
if
it'll
come
through,
for
you.
B
Register
just
share
it,
and
I
can
you
know
that
might
just
be
easier.
Thank
you.
C
Can
I
can,
I
ask
also
I'm
going
to
do
a
good
afternoon?
Can
you
can
we
introduce
ourselves?
I
I
need
to
realize,
I
know
who
actually
you're
meeting.
A
D
A
E
Amy
on
mute
yeah,
I
am
skip
anderson,
I'm
the
mayor
of
columbus
and
we've.
We've
we've
had
a
little
bit
of
experience
with
care
violence
fast,
I
think
energized
us
as
a
community.
This
go
around
because
it
was
community
driven,
it
was
really
being
pursued
by
residents
and
some
outstanding
civic
leaders
in
this
community
and
and
they
got
behind
it
and
began
to
have
meetings
that
stretched.
Of
course
it
anticipated
pandemic,
but
it
stretched
over
a
couple
of
years.
E
I
think,
but
the
city
recognizes
that
we've
changed
the
cultural
situation
that
we're
in
right
now
there's
way
too
much
violence.
People
are
unable
to
solve,
solve
conflicts
without
going
right
to
the
right
to
the
most
deadly
violence
they
can.
They
can
get
their
hands
on
so
yeah.
We're
just
we're
anxious
to
hear
from
you
hear
how
the
program
has
evolved,
how
it's
changed
and
how
some
of
the
successes
have
been
born
out
of
the
community.
D
Good
afternoon
I'm
isaac
hugely.
I
am
the
city
manager
of
columbus
georgia
and
excited
about
getting
together
with
you
today.
I've
read
about,
I
heard
a
lot
about
this
program
and
cure
violence,
global
and
just
looking
forward
to
what
you
can
share
with
us
about
what
you've
learned
about
columbus
georgia,
and
hopefully
we
can
proceed
forward
and
get
some
of
the
great
results
that
I've
seen
in
other
communities.
B
Great,
thank
you
all
for
that
introduction.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
else
would
introduce
themselves.
If
not,
we
cannot.
We
can
go
ahead
and
get
started.
My
name
is
brent
decker
and
I'm
the
chief
program
officer
here
at
care.
Violence,
global
I've
been
with
the
organization
going
on
19
years,
my
trainings
in
epidemiology
and
public
health,
which
we'll
talk
about
in
a
minute,
and
it's
very
nice
to
be
with
you
all.
B
You
know
the
the
ongoing
conversations
we've
had
with
our
partners
on
the
ground
in
columbus
have
been
absolutely
spectacular
and
we're
very
hopeful
that
we
can
really
get
this
to
be
part
of
the
strategy
in
columbus
to
help
prevent
shootings
and
killings,
and
so
let
introduce
himself
and
then
we
can
start
with
the
presentation.
C
Yes,
hi
good
afternoon
all
it
is
indeed
a
pleasure
to
be
actually
here
with
you
this
afternoon
with
I
I
like
the
great
city
of
columbus.
My
name
is
a.t
mitchell.
I'm
talking
to
you
live
from
the
big
apple
here
in
brooklyn
new
york,
where
I
founded
a
non-profit
organization
called
man
up
incorporated.
C
It's
a
community
based
street
based
organization
that
deals
with
community
issues
on
the
ground
that
you
know
really
depressed
and
you
know,
deprived
neighborhoods
and
providing
meaningful
services.
We
we
were
founded
17
years
ago
after
the
unfortunate
shooting
of
an
eight-year-old
named
dayshawn
hill
here
in
east
new
york,
and
so
ever
since
his
death
we've
been
born
and
we've
been
on
the
ground
doing
the
work.
C
I
am
been
introduced
to
the
chill
violence
model
now
for
12
years,
and
it
has
been
the
model
that
we
have
adopted,
not
only
here
in
east
new
york
brooklyn,
but
throughout
the
city
of
new
york.
We
have
35
sites
now,
I'm
here
in
the
city
of
new
york
and
we're
very
proud
to
say
that,
because
the
results
speak
for
itself.
B
You
great
and
so
to
get
started
and
we
can
see
on
the
slide
and
maybe
we
can
adjust
the
view
on
it.
B
So
it's
just
the
the
main
slide,
but
if
not
that's
okay,
so
our
organization
was
started
by
a
physician
by
a
doctor,
an
epidemiologist
who
worked
at
the
world
health
organization
for
many
years
in
the
80s
and
90s,
and
he
came
back
to
the
us
in
the
mid
to
late
90s,
when
we
were
seeing
another
spike
of
violence,
kind
of
like
we're
experiencing
now
and
really
thought
about
looking
at
violence
from
a
health
lens
from
a
public
health
perspective
and
how
that
could
be
kind
of
a
complementary
way
of
understanding
it
and
a
complementary
set
of
activities
to
work
towards
preventing
violence,
and
so
you
can
see
kind
of
our
jumping
off
point.
B
B
B
B
Well,
the
next
slide,
what
it's
going
to
show
you,
if
I'm
remembering
correctly
reggie
with
me,
bud.
B
Well,
anyway,
we'll
figure
out
the
slide
stuff
in
a
second.
But
essentially
you
know
when,
when
our
founder
and
a
number
of
other
doctors
really
started
to
look
at
violence
from
from
a
health
perspective,
they
really
started
to
study
and
they
saw
that
it
not
only
met
the
dictionary
but
medical
dictionary
definition
of
a
contagion
right,
and
so
they
really
started
to
think
about.
B
You
know
violence
as
a
contagious,
meaning
that
it
causes
more
of
itself
right,
and
so
you
know
that's
kind
of
our
jumping
off
point
from
the
perspective,
and
so
what
we
try
to
kind
of
do
is
move
away
from
some
of
the
ideas
of
moralism
and
bad
people
that
need
to
be
punished
and
to
think
about
this
from
a
scientific
perspective
and
really
have
this
as
a
health
problem
with
a
health
solution.
So
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
so,
like
I
said
before,
you
know
violence.
B
This
is
now
kind
of
understood
by
the
world
health
organization
by
the
institute
of
medicine
by
the
apha
american
public
health
association.
That
violence
is,
in
fact
is
a
contagion.
It
is
a
contagious
process
and
we
understand
this.
Both
you
know
on
a
behavioral,
but
also
as
a
biological
function
of
the
brain,
and
so
I
think
we're
having
some
issues
with
the
with
the
slides,
which
is
okay.
We
can
kind
of
keep
talking
it
through.
B
It's
no
problem,
but
essentially,
when
we
understand
violence
as
a
contagion,
we
mean
it
literally
right
in
that
there
are
population
characteristics,
there
are
epidemic
waves,
there's
clustering
effects
and
there's
also
a
means
of
transmission,
and
all
of
this
is
super
important
to
understand
in
terms
of
how
do
we
apply
what
we
know
about
epidemic,
control,
to
violence
and
violence,
prevention,
and
so
the
first
idea
and
what
you
would
see
on
the
slide-
and
we
can
send
a
presentation
of
some
problem-
is
that
we
tend
to
see
these
like
hot
okay.
B
B
It
would
be
great
if
we
can
have
it,
but
if
not
and
if
it's
going
to
be,
I
mean
I
I
want
to
respect
everybody's
time-
I'm
happy
just
to
talk
it
through
as
well.
It's
okay,
we
can
send
you.
D
D
B
B
We'll
give
it
just
a
minute
and
we
can
we
can
make
up
some
of
the
time
I
mean,
I
think
what
we
really
want
to
talk
about
now
is
just
kind
of
our
theoretical
understanding
of
violence,
and
then
how
does
that
get
applied
to
what
we
do,
and
so
this
idea
of
it
being
a
contagious
process?
I
just
want
to
take
a
couple
minutes
to
talk
about
it
because
it's
very
fundamental
to
why
does
this
program
then
work?
Okay,
great!
So
if
we
can
go
down.
B
Next
slide
go
to
the
next
slide
right
here.
That
would
be
great.
So
if
we
look
at
this
slide
right
here,
what
I
was
saying-
and
you
have
to
hit
it
three
times-
please
just
hit
advanced
three
times.
B
Yeah
no
worries
and
I
apologize.
Microsoft
teams
doesn't
really
work
well
in
my
in
my
universe.
So
when
we
think
about
violence
as
a
contagion
like
I
said,
we
mean
it
that
there's
population
characteristics,
there's
clustering,
there's
epidemic
waves
and
there's
a
means
of
transmission,
a
mode
of
transition.
You
go
to
the
next
slide
right
here,
great
and
so
what
I
was
saying
before,
like
other
infectious
diseases
that
there's
there's
a
clustering
effect
and
so
on
the
left
hand
corner
here.
B
These
are
cases
of
cholera
in
bangladesh
and
you
can
kind
of
see
a
clustering
effect
and
then
right
next
to
it
is
my
beautiful
city
of
chicago
and
violence.
So
you
see
that
there's
a
kind
of
a
clustering
effect
of
of
the
cases.
Now
this
has
to
do
with
kind
of
some
broader
issues,
but
most
infectious
processes
like
have
that
same
pattern.
B
There
are
epidemic
waves.
You
know
it
spreads
in
a
similar
pattern
as
things
like
the
flu
and
covid
meaning
there
could
be
no.
There
could
be
no
events
taking
place,
but
a
couple
events
can
happen,
and
then
we
can
see
this
spike
and
then
we
see
it
kind
of
follow
similar
epidemic
waves
as
other
infectious
diseases,
and
the
third,
I
think
most
important
part
about
this
is
that
violence
is
transmitted
right.
B
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
this
is
kind
of
a
key
thing
of
our
understanding
and
that
violence
is
transmitted
through
the
human
brain
right
and
it's
a
and
it's
transmitted
through
observing
through
witnessing
through
experiencing
trauma
right,
and
so
this
is
a
critical
thing
in
terms
of
understanding
of
how
people
and
why
people
act
violently.
So
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
just
a
a
drawing
of
kind
of
brain
circuits
for
copying,
and
this
is
true
for
basically
all
human
behaviors,
including
violence.
B
I
think
sometimes
we
think
about
violence
and
violence
prevention.
It's
like
something
outside
of
the
constellation
of
of
human
behaviors
and
we
think
about
it
kind
of
sometimes
through
moralistic
lens,
which
is
which
is
not
always
extremely
helpful
in
terms
of
thinking
about
policy
and
what
we
do
about
it.
And
so,
when
we
think
about
the
transmission
of
violence,
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
B
I
think
demonstrates
a
little
bit
better
than
that
brain
circuit
map
right.
So
we
see
the
boss
yelling
at
the
employee,
the
employee
yelling
at
the
significant
other,
significant
other
yelling
at
the
kid
and
the
kid
yelling
at
the
poor
cat
right
I
mean
this
is
a
very
antiquated
picture,
but
it
shows
kind
of
the
the
the
process
of
transmission
right
and
how
do
we
pick
up
certain
behaviors
of
which
violence
is
one
of
them,
and
so
we
go
to
the
next
slide
and
we
think
about
it.
B
We
know
that
behaviors
are
formed
through
modeling
and
trial
and
error
and
then
they're
maintained
through
culture
and
social
norms
and
mayor.
You
mentioned
something
about
kind
of
some
of
the
cultures
around
violence
right
and
so
we
see
in
this
picture
here.
Is
we
see
this
kid
hands
clasp
behind
the
back
following
two
adults
in
the
neighborhood,
it
seems
cute,
largely
it's
an
unconscious
process.
We
go
to
the
next
slide
and
we
see
kids,
the
same
age,
doing
something
very
different
same
ages.
B
You
know
kind
of
just
copying
what
they're,
seeing
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
We
see
again
children
covered
in
tattoos
again
copying
largely
an
unconscious
process
of
what
they're
doing
right,
and
so
this
is
really
for
us
is
critical
and
understanding
what
to
do
about
it.
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
we
see
that
there
are.
You
know
many
methods
of
exposure
to
violence,
so
there
can
be
community
violence,
so
this
can
be
group
click
and
gang
violence,
collective
violence,
interpersonal
violence,
even
things
like
civil
war
riots,
things
of
that
nature.
B
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
then
we
see
in
many
neighborhoods
where
there,
where
there's
a
lot
of
violence,
we
see
multiple
exposures
that
lead
to
multiple
events
that
lead
to
multiple
exposures
lead
to
more
events,
so
it
becomes
this
kind
of
cycle
and
process,
and
so
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide-
and
that
is
kind
of
the
result
in
terms
of
how
a
lot
of
these
violence
kind
of
persists
in
areas
right
and
that's
kind
of
some
of
our
understanding
of.
B
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide-
and
we
also
understand
in
health
that
there
are
social
determinants
of
health,
you
know
that
range
from
some
of
the
historical
colonialism
and
things
of
that
nature
to
racism,
to
school
education,
things
of
that
nature,
and
so
you
know
there
are.
That
is
kind
of
the
context
in
which
a
lot
of
this
takes
place.
But
we
think
violence
has
a
very
specific
role
in
the
social
determinants
of
health.
B
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
what
we
see
is
you
know,
even
if
you
think
about
education
or
economic
conditions
or
health
care
systems
or
community
resources
or
even
community
cohesion
like
violence,
can
affect
all
of
those
things
right,
and
so,
if
you
think
about
even
if
we
have
you
know
an
improving
school
system,
if
kids
are,
you
know
highly
traumatized
on
the
weekend,
they'd
be
very
hard
for
them
to
come
back
into
school
and
concentrate
or,
if
they're
afraid,
to
walk
to
school
or
back
to
school.
B
You
know
things
of
that
nature,
or
you
know
even
think
about.
You
know
things
of
community
cohesion.
Things
of
that
nature
I
mean
violence
has
a
very
particular
role
in
affecting
all
those
social
determinants
of
health.
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
for
us
I
mean
all
of
this
in
one
sense
is
good
news
and
it's
good
news,
because
we
know
how
to
stop
health
epidemics.
I
mean
it
is
possible
to
do
something
about
it.
B
B
Violence
is
really
just
apply
this
to
community
violence
right,
and
so
we
interrupt
the
transit
and
go
to
the
next
slide,
and
so
what
the
model
looks
like
this
first
part
is
interrupting
transmission,
and
I'm
gonna
have
a.t
talk
in
a
minute,
but
essentially
we
have
a
worker
called
interrupters
and
their
job
is
to
mediate
conflicts
to
keep
conflicts,
cool
and
prevent
retaliation.
B
So
we
can
minimize
this
exposure,
this
back
and
forth
of
violent
events
because,
as
we
know,
one
vinyl
event
leads
to
another
leads
to
another
right.
The
second,
in
terms
of
reducing
the
highest
risk
preventing
future
spread,
that's
kind
of
more
the
long-term
work
with
the
individuals
at
the
highest
risk,
and
the
third
is
kind
of
working
to
change.
A
community
and
groups
norms
around
kind
of
the
acceptability
of
of
using
violence
to
resolve
disputes
and
so
I'll
hand.
B
It
off
to
a.t
to
kind
of
talk
about
these
in
each
more
detail,
but
before
he
does,
I
mean
the
one
thing
I
want
to
say
is
the
the
lane
that
we're
in
at
cure
violence
is
really
working
with
those
at
most
at
highest
risk
to
shoot
someone
or
be
shot
today
tomorrow,
next
month
this
year,
like
the
highest
rates,
those
are
the
closest
to
the
issue
of
violence.
So
at
do
you
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
components.
C
Yeah,
thank
you
brent,
and
so
with
that
understanding
of
our
approach,
which
is,
if
you
can
go
to
the
next
side,
slide,
please,
our
goal
is
to
get
to
those
members
who
brent
just
described
those
that
are
the
most
highest
risk
members
of
the
community,
and
we
do
that
by
bringing
in
a
very
qualified,
very
special
group
of
individuals
that
we
call
violence
interrupters
to
interrupt
the
transmission.
C
These
are
men
and
women
who
are
credible.
Members
of
the
community
that
live
in
the
neighborhood
was
familiar
with
the
issues
going
on
in
the
neighborhood,
but
they
have
a
will
to
want
to
assist
in
us
trying
to
curb
the
violence
and
and
reduce
a
lot
of
the
trauma
that
is
happening.
The
violence
interrupter
is
people
who
have
been
there
and
done
that
type
of
individuals.
C
People
who
have
maybe
been
shot
in
the
past
may
have
been
had
trouble
with
the
law
or
maybe
had
you
know,
you
know,
have
access
to
a
weapon
in
the
past,
but
now
they
are
thinking
about
using
themselves
in
a
very
positive
light.
C
So
what
we
actually
realize
is
that
those
that
are
closest
to
the
problem
are
the
best
ones
to
be
help
us
with
the
solution,
and
so
we
go
out
and
we
literally
canvas-
and
we
look
for
these
individuals
in
the
neighborhoods,
where
the
violence
is
most
prone
and
we
make
contact
with
them
and
we
ask
them
to
come
in
and
we
eventually,
we
interviewed
them
to
see.
C
In
fact,
if
they're
serious
about
wanting
to
help
us
curb
the
violence
and
if
they
are,
we
get
them
to
go
through
a
process
of
screenings,
and
these
individuals
are
eventually
hired
by
an
entity,
a
partner
organization
on
the
ground
and
they
are
literally
trained
in
the
pure
violence
global
model
and
then
they're
deployed
right
back
into
their
own
neighborhoods.
C
Now
they're,
more
advanced,
they're,
more
educated,
they're,
more
trained
to
know
how
to
engage
their
own
kind
of
people
in
the
neighborhood
to
get
to
that
most
highest
risk
and
to
begin
the
process
of
building
trust
and
to
mediate.
The
conflicts
that
may
arise
as
a
result
of
it
of
some
potential
violence.
That
may
be
about
to
happen.
Can
you
go
to
the
next
slide?
C
Please,
and
so
these
credible
messengers
that
we
call
are
credible,
because
these
people
have
backgrounds
that
the
neighborhood
respect
the
people
in
that
that,
in
that
lifestyle,
respect
these
individuals
because
of
their
credibility.
These
people
are
those
people
that
we
literally
ask
to
work
with
that
population,
and
we
have
another
type
of
person.
That's
credible
in
the
team.
C
C
A
lot
of
the
work
that
the
outreach
worker
and
the
violence
interrupter
do
is
actually
in
the
beginning,
it's
in
the
it's
in
the
proactive
stage,
and
so
these
outreach
workers
and
these
credible
messengers
are
deployed
throughout
the
day
during
the
same
hours
that
that
population
is
out
there
as
well,
and
they
work
to
pretty
much
be
in
their
peripheral
to
stay
in
their
in
their
peripheral,
almost
like
the
police,
but
for
a
different
intent
right,
so
they
are
going
after
the
same
individuals.
Their
intentions
are
different.
C
C
Because
this
is
all
about
changing
behaviors
right,
we
know
that
these
behaviors
in
terms
of
violent
behavior,
gun
violence,
behavior,
it's
something
that
have
been
taught.
This
is
not
something
that
they
were
born
to
do,
as
mentioned
before.
These
are
things
that
they
pick
up,
based
on
the
exposure
that
they
have
been
experiencing
and
the
way
that
they've
been
read
to
assume
that
by
handling
a
sometimes
interpersonal
dispute
with
going
to
get
a
weapon
and
discharging
a
weapon
on
another
person
is
not
actually.
C
C
C
There
are
older
people
in
their
communities,
and
so,
if
we
put
something
different
in
front
of
them,
a
different
role
model,
a
different
real
model,
then
more
than
likely
it
will
be
contagious
as
well,
and
that
new
behavior
norm
will
begin
to
be
applied
and
hopefully,
we'll
be
able
to
see
a
change
in
the
entire
community.
In
terms
of
how
you
know
trauma
the
trauma
that
they
have
been
exposed
to.
So
these
are
folks
that
actually
know
how
to
go
in.
They
know
how
to
problem
solve.
C
They
know
how
to
avoid
situations,
they're
very
familiar
with
the
terrain,
they're
very
familiar
with
the
neighborhoods.
They
have
more
access
than
any
of
us
as
it
relates
to
their
neighborhoods
inside.
Let's
say
the
troubled
areas
of
columbus.
These
individuals
are
people
who
know
the
people
on
the
ground
and
they
literally
because
of
their
credibility,
they're
entrusted
to
help
mediate
conflicts
and
so
they're
trained
in
conflict
mediation,
they're
trained
in
conflict
resolution,
they're
trained
in
motivation,
motivational
interviewing
and
all
of
the
above.
They
know
how
to
you
know,
manage
case
loads.
C
They
are
trained
to
know
how
to
enter
data
into
the
database,
and
everything
is
all
documented,
and
so
this
is
how
we
use
these
individuals
in
the
community
to
help
us
change
the
outcome
of
what's
happening
in
the
community.
Next
slide.
C
And
so,
ultimately,
this
is
about
getting
the
whole
community
involved.
You
know,
unfortunately,
because
this
violence
has
plagued
communities
for
so
long.
Most
neighborhoods
when
we
come
in
have
been
desensitized
to
the
violence.
They
begin
to
start
accepting
the
violence
as
a
norm,
and
it
actually
is
not
normal
and
part
of
the
way
that
we
think
of
it
as
the
disease
and
the
approach
that
we
use
is
that
we
make
sure
that
at
every
time,
there's
a
shooting.
C
There
is
a
community
response
right,
the
messengers,
the
credible
messengers
and
the
outreach
workers
and
and
and
our
stakeholders
and
partners.
We
come
together
and
we
mobilize
the
community
around
the
issue
of
violence
as
an
abnormal
behavior,
and
you
know
literally,
we
send
them
out
there
and
to
the
neighborhoods
and
they
they
wear.
C
The
shooting
incidences
occur,
there's
sometimes
in
the
hot
spots,
they're
they're,
doing
all
kinds
of
community
events
and
community
activities,
but,
more
importantly,
we're
making
sure
that
the
norm
in
terms
of
the
way
that
we
see
violence
as
we
know
it,
it's
no
longer
and
we
begin
to
change
the
the
perception
of
violence
and
the
disease.
The
idea
is
to
stop
the
disease
in
its
tracks
next
norm.
Next
slide
excuse
me,
and
so
you
may
have
seen
some
of
these
happen
organically
in
communities
after
a
shooting.
C
You
know
the
local,
you
know,
clergy,
the
active
clergy
and
some
of
the
activists
on
the
ground
were
organized
as
these
vigils,
and
so
this
is
something
that
we
do
regularly.
We
have
actually
circles
like
this.
Maybe
what
we
call
a
healing
circle
in
the
streets
in
the
heart
of
the
of
the
troubled
areas
where
we're
we're,
praying
and
we're
we're
we're
talking
to
the
community
we're
raising
up.
C
You
know
the
name
of
someone
who
may
have
gotten
shot
and
killed
and
we're
introducing
them
to
the
new
norm
as
it
relates
to
us
as
a
community
as
to
how
we
begin
to
address
it.
Do
these
vigils
that
you
see
here
so
this
is
something
that
we
we
promote.
C
This
is
something
that
we
train
the
staff
on
on
how
to
go
out
into
the
community
and
how
to
mobilize
community
around
every
single
shooting
that
may
erupt,
and
how
do
we
get
in
front
of
it
instead
of
trying
to
you
know,
come
behind
it.
So
that's
pretty
much
our
approach
and
it's
been
working
everywhere
across
the
country,
if
not
throughout
the
world,
where
we
see
the
model
being
replicated
next
slide.
C
So
we
use
a
host
of
different
methods.
We
pour
a
lot
of
public
ed
pub,
ed
campaigns
into
it.
Here
you
have
an
example
of
a
lot
of
the
literature,
a
lot
of
the
statements,
a
lot
of
the
postering
that
goes
into
those
neighborhoods.
We
begin
to
mask
the
neighborhood
in
a
different
way
versus
it
being
labeled
with
with
advertising
from
cigarettes
and
alcohol.
C
We
all
we
actually
literally
like
to
you-
know
plaster
neighborhoods
with
this
messaging,
so
that
everybody,
actually
that
is
inside
that
neighborhood
around
that
neighborhood,
received
this
messaging
on
a
daily
basis.
They
they're
they're,
giving
that
they
received
these
in
the
form
of
palm
cards
in
the
form
of
brochures
in
the
form.
Like
I
said,
of
posters,
the
businesses
get
involved,
everybody
gets
involved
in
helping
us
promote
this
new
messaging.
C
B
Yeah
and
so
what
this
kind
of
approach
does
I
mean,
I
think,
if
we
understand
how
behaviors
are
formed,
how
they're
maintained
ultimately
they're
changed
by
what
at
was
just.
You
know
outline,
and
I
think
the
key
point
is
this
idea
of
having
credible
messengers
and
that's
what
really
helps
folks
change
their
thinking
around
the
behavior
right
they're
not
going
to
listen
to
me.
You
know
I
mean
I'm
I'm
from
chicago,
I'm
not
from
that
community,
and
so
really
the
three
prongs
of
the
intervention
are
really
kind
of
based
on.
B
How
does
how
do
humans
really
change
their
behaviors
right
and
it
also
kind
of
asks
us
to
re-understand
violence
right
so
to
kind
of
move
away
from
some
of
this
idea
of
like
bad
people
and
even
bad
choices,
and
really
to
understand
kind
of
the
circumstances
and
this
issue
of
transmission
and
and
having
science
kind
of
lead
the
way
in
terms
of
some
of
our
policies,
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
B
This
is
these:
are
the
cities
we're
currently
working
with
in
the
us
and
the
way
that
this
program
works?
Is
we
always
work
with
local
partners
so
cure
violence?
Doesn't
open
up
offices
anywhere
right?
Our
offices
are
run
by
local
partners
that
are
usually
managed
through
a
city,
state
or
county
kind
of
apparatus.
If
that
makes
any
sense
like
those
that's
like
the
oversight
of
it.
That
then
do
the
direct
implementation
implementation
through
community-based
partners.
So
in
each
one
of
these
cities,
there's
different
kind
of
partners
involved
in
it.
B
So
this
is
to
give
you
a
sense
of
the
cities
we're
working
in
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
This
gives
you
a
sense
of
like
the
countries
that
we're
working
in
and
so
a
lot
in
the
u.s
in
latin
america.
In
some
caribbean
we've
done
some
work
in
africa.
We've
done
a
bunch
of
work
in
the
middle
east
and
again
it's
always
doing
the
three
things
interrupt:
transmission,
prevent
future
spread
and
change
community
and
group
norms.
B
It
looks
different,
though
it
looks
different
in
baltimore
than
it
does
in
trinidad
than
it
does
in
south
africa,
but
it's
really
the
same
thing:
the
credible
messengers
reaching
out
to
the
highest
risk
to
prevent
violence,
and
so
what
happened?
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
the
reason
that
I'm
even
talking
to
you
all
this
afternoon
is
when
we
first
started
a
long
time
ago
in
chicago.
What
we
started
to
see
was
the
areas
that
were
doing
the
program
and
it
was
called
ceasefire.
B
B
What
we
saw
is
that
in
our
areas,
in
fact,
we're
experiencing
reductions
the
comparison
areas,
a
little
bit,
neighboring
was
going
up
and
chicago
in
itself
was
going
up,
and
so
this
really
caught
the
attention
of
department
of
justice
and
other
institutions
and
a
number
of
independent
evaluations
were
done.
B
If
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
go
to
the
next
one
again,
please
thank
you,
and
so
the
first
evaluation
was
done
by
northwestern
university
funded
by
the
department
of
justice,
and
it
looked
at
a
couple
things
going
on
in
chicago
one
of
the
main
findings
it
had
was
this
idea
of
cooling
hot
spots
down,
so
you
can
see
on
the
slide
kind
of
before
and
after
this
idea
of
of
cooling
down
shootings
per
square
mile
right,
so
we're
cutting
down
the
exposure,
we're
cutting
down
the
trauma,
we're
cutting
down
all
those
things
and
what
you
see
in
it
is
if
we
work
with
the
highest
risk,
it's
not
about
pushing
it
somewhere
else
right,
it's
about
cooling
it
down
in
the
areas
that
we're
working.
B
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
To
look
at
another
example
of
that
this
is
inglewood.
This
is
the
south
side
of
chicago
again
before
and
after
the
intervention,
we
see
this
cooling
down
effect,
so
there's
less
shootings,
less
homicides
taking
place,
and
it's
not
just
being
like
pushed
somewhere
else
because
we're
working
with
the
highest
risk
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
B
Some
of
the
other
findings
they
saw
shootings,
went
down
hot
spots
went
down,
but
I
think
that
was
very
interesting
about
that.
Initial
evaluation
was
this
idea
of
retaliations
and
in
some
neighborhoods
because
of
the
partners
and
because
of
the
relationships
they
had,
they
were
able
to
reduce
retaliatory
homicides
by
a
hundred
percent
right,
and
so
this
is
a
critical
piece.
If
we
can
stop
this
back
and
forth
and
if
we
have
the
right
workers,
this
is
something
impo.
B
This
is
possible,
so
these
were
some
of
the
findings
of
the
initial
program
in
chicago.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
the
next
evaluation
was
done
by
john
hopkins,
with
again
funding
from
the
justice
department
looking
at
the
program
in
baltimore,
and
so
what
we've
seen
in
baltimore.
B
You
know
reductions
between
33
and
47
percent.
B
What's
interesting,
though,
is
cherry
hill
has
gone,
which
is
a
housing
project
in
baltimore,
it's
kind
of
one
street
inn
and
one
street
out
has
done
multiple
years
without
a
homicide,
and
last
year
they
actually
just
a
couple
weeks
ago,
completed
another
full
year
through
the
pandemic,
without
a
homicide
taking
place
in
the
area
and
again
that's
because
who
the
workers
are
it's
based
out
of
a
local
community
organization.
B
B
Please
new
york
city,
as
a
t
said,
which
is
basically
the
biggest
replication
site
in
the
world,
multiple
sites
multiple
years.
It's
part
of
the
yearly
budget.
B
What
we
saw
there
too
is-
and
this
is
this-
was
done
by
john
jay
college,
funded
by
the
robert
wood
johnson
foundation-
and
again
they
saw
gun
injuries
going
down,
shooting
victimizations
going
down
again,
all
statistically
significant.
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
what
we
saw
is
the
areas
that
we
were
working
in
and
by
we
I
mean
our
partners.
B
You
know
we
saw
greater
reductions
compared
to
comparison
areas,
and
so
another
finding
that
was
interesting
in
in
the
john
jay
evaluation
is
that
actually
community
trust
and
police
went
up
in
the
areas
that
we
were.
Confidence
and
police
went
up
in
the
areas
we're
working
in
and
that's
not
necessarily
a
stated
objective
of
ours,
but
being
kind
of
community
and
health
centered.
B
When
we
can
reduce
this
constant
back
and
forth
of
shootings
and
killings
and
responding,
you
know
it
really
can
allow
some
other
spaces
for
other
conversations
and
other
types
of
engagements
to
go.
So
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
another
evaluation
and
I'm
going
through
this
quickly.
This
is
all
on
our
website,
but
all
is
to
say
that
when
this
program
has
been
evaluated,
it's
been
shown
to
work
and
a
lot
of
context,
so
chicago
baltimore,
new
york,
also
in
trinidad
in
the
caribbean.
B
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
we've
seen
there
is.
We
were
able
to
implement
it
successfully.
We
were
able
to
see
you
know,
reductions
and
shootings
as
well
as
admissions
to
the
hospital
from
from
shootings.
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
I
think
it
demonstrates
it
a
little
bit
better,
but
we
see
here
is
when
the
program
launches
you
can
see
this.
This
immediate
decrease
in
terms
of
serious
violent
incidents,
and
it
goes
back
up
just
a
little
bit,
but
it
stays
lower.
B
You
know
by
like
60
or
something
like
that
for
the
course
of
the
program
and
even
after
the
program
ran
out
of
funding.
You
know
maintained
these
reductions
because
it
was
really
about
the
norm.
Change
right.
It
was
really
about
working
with
the
highest
risk
so
that
just
because
I'm
in
conflict
with
someone
doesn't
mean,
I
necessarily
need
to
go,
get
a
gun
to
resolve
right.
So
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
B
This
is
just
another
demonstration
of
that,
and
what
we
see,
though,
is
in
our
areas
it
went
down
and
in
the
control
unit
it
continued
to
spike
up
right,
and
so
this
is
a
really
critical
piece
in
terms
of
our
understanding
and
really
showing
that
this.
This
intervention
worked
in
the
in
the
context
of
trinidad,
which
at
the
time
was
the
most
violent
city
in
the
caribbean.
I
mean
people
often
think
of
jamaica,
but
east
port
of
spain
was
was
had
much
higher
rates
than
even
jamaica
did.
B
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
the
last
evaluation
that's
been
done,
which
was
released
in
december
of
last
year,
funded
by
inter
american
development
bank
was
about
our
program
in
kali,
colombia
and
kali
at
the
time
was
the
most
violent
city
in
colombia
that
has,
you
know
historically
been
one
of
the
more
violent
countries
on
earth
and
we
were
working
in
two
of
the
top
ten
most
violent
communities
and
what
we
saw
in
the
first
intervention
area
in
is:
there
was
a
reduction
of
almost
50
in
homicides
and
almost
50
percent
reduction
in
retaliations
right,
and
so
what
we'd
saw
in
colombia
there'd
be
a
homicide
within
seven
days
or
for
sure
would
be
another
one,
and
so
they're
able
to
reduce
that
not
only
the
homicides
but
the
retaliations
incomeros,
which
is
the
second
area
which
was
the
most
violent
place.
B
I
mean
we
first
went
there,
I
couldn't
even
go
inside,
we
saw
reductions
of
30
of
homicides
and
then
we
also
saw
a
complete
wiping
out
of
retaliatory
homicides
within
seven
days,
and
so
these
two
neighborhoods
that
were
on
the
top
ten
list
of
violent
areas
in
colombia
now
off
that
top
ten
list
and
we're
now
working
with
the
government
there
to
do
a
whole
city-wide
intervention.
I
don't
know
if
you
might
have
paid
attention
in
the
news.
B
Kali
was
one
of
the
cities
that
had
a
lot
of
violence
with
some
protests
about
a
month
ago
and
so
they're
working
to
kind
of
respond
to
all
that
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
These
are
just
some
examples
of
other
cities
that
have
done
some
demonstrated
results
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
time
for
for
for
conversation
about
this.
So
you
know:
we've
seen
success
in
cape
town,
halifax,
puerto
rico,
the
uk
next
slide.
B
Many
communities,
including
ats,
have
gone
a
year
a
thousand
days
without
a
homicide.
You
know
in
doing
this
approach
atmosphere.
Anything
you
want
to
add
about
that
before.
I
go
to
the
next
one:
no
okay
go
right
ahead:
okay,
great!
Go
to
the
next
slide!
Please
you
know.
Essentially,
this
has
been
featured
in
the
interrupters.
The
institute
of
medicine,
nicholas
kristoff
has
written
pretty
pretty
extensively
about
it,
but
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
whole
idea
of
a
new
city
assessment
process.
It's
a
kind
of
a
collaboration.
B
So
next
slide,
please
so
we've
been
working
locally
with
the
cure
violence
team
to
really
figure
out
answer
these
questions
right.
Is
there
governmental
or
non-governmental
agency
with
the
capacity
and
will
to
do
this
model?
Are
there
official
data
sets
so
that
we
could
focus,
monitor
and
measure
the
implementation
is?
Is
there
enough
data
to
determine
like?
Is
the
violence
taking
place
in
columbus
appropriate
for
our
approach
right?
So
if
it's
all
domestic
violence
or
if
it's
all
terrorism
or
it's
all,
you
know
cartel
ordered
hits.
B
This
model
is
not
necessarily
applicable,
but
if
it's
more
general
community
violence,
interpersonal
dispute
that
take
place
kind
of
in
the
context
of
the
drug
trade
and
other
things,
you
know,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
different
elements
that
might
contribute,
but
as
long
as
it's
in
that
realm,
this
model
can
be
applicable
and
helpful
to
reducing.
We
go
to
the
next
slide.
B
You
know
again,
thinking
about
is
there
are
criteria
to
really
understand
the
highest
risk.
Do
organizations
exist
that
can
implement
this?
Are
there
individuals
who
can
serve
as
interrupters
and
outreach
workers
like
we've
described,
and
then
we
try
and
determine
like
what
some
initial
program
recommendations
might
be,
so
that,
if
you
know
we
move
forward
with
this,
we
have
a
very
clear
plan
like
these
are
the
areas
we
would
work
in
here,
some
of
the
community
groups
or
hear
some
of
the
recruitment
strategy
that
would
be
required
to
do
it.
B
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
you
know,
and
these
are
kind
of
the
phases,
and
so
where
we
are
right
now
is
kind
of
in
you
know,
into
phase
two
I
mean
we've
done
a
number
of
cure
violence,
101
presentations,
you
know
just
trying
to
kind
of
share
what
the
approach
is
then
we'll
move
into
more
kind
of
stakeholder
meetings.
Then
we'll
do
a
visit
at
some
point
this
summer
and
then
finish
up
with
what
the
budget
and
plan
would
look
like,
so
how
this
could
be
helpful
to
what's
going
on
in
columbus.
B
B
E
E
I
would
imagine
that's
if
not
the
pieces
of
this
to
make
sure
you
get
the
right
personality,
the
right,
the
right
credibility
when
these
folks
go
in
those
areas.
Typically,
what
is
the
timeline
for
being
able
to
identify,
assess
interview
and
and
hire
the
right
individuals.
B
B
You
know
a
couple
weeks
and
what
we
typically
do
is
we
have
kind
of
like
an
informal
presentation
of
other
interrupters
or
staff
like
at
who's,
managed
sites
to
kind
of
just
really
talk
through
like
what
it
is,
what
the
approach
is
and
what
the
role
is
and
then
from
there
we
usually
find
a
couple
people
who
meet
the
criteria
and
are
interested,
and
then
we
kind
of
do
something
called
the
pre-screening
right
where
we
really
want
to
look
at
those
individuals
make
sure
a
that
they're
credible
in
the
areas
that
we're
going
to
be
working
but
b.
B
Are
they
suitable
to
do
this
work
just
because
you're
credible
doesn't
mean
you're
necessarily
suitable
to
do
this
work
and
when
I
say
suitable,
it's
really
about
being
part
of
a
team
really
being
on
this
side
of
the
line,
if
that
makes
sense
having
other
kind
of
positive,
you
know
things
going
on
in
your
life
strong
relationships
and
once
they
kind
of
go
through
that,
then
we
have
a
hiring
panel
process
and
the
hiring
panel
processes.
B
We
invite
people
from
law
enforcement
partners,
faith
leaders
and
we
we
make
kind
of
a
group
decision
like
does
this
person
really
make
the
most
sense
to
fulfill
this
role
once
they
go
through
that
they
go
through
an
initial
40
hour
trainings
and
then
they're
ready
to
hit
the
streets.
So
this
can
take
place
between
six
weeks
eight
weeks
it
just
kind
of
depends
on
on
you
know
the
flexibility
of
people's
scheduling
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
charlotte,
for
example,
we
did
in
charlotte
north
carolina.
B
We
did
panels
for
the
managers
two
weeks
ago,
they're
getting
trained
next
week.
18
are
training
them
they're,
going
to
have
their
violence
interrupters
and
outreach
workers.
They
got
paneled
this
week,
they're
getting
trained
in
two
weeks,
so
they'll
be
ready,
they'll
be
starting.
You
know
within
eight
weeks
of
the
program
really
launching
so
I
mean
I
think
it
just
it
depends.
Sometimes
it
goes
quicker,
sometimes
a
little
slower,
but
you're
right
mirror
like
that's.
The
critical
piece
is
getting
the
right
workers
getting.
C
And
if
I
can
add
to
that
mayor
and
this
time
that
we
brent
just
talked
about
is
very
critical
right,
because
what
we
want
to
make
sure
is
that,
like
they're,
not
only
credible,
but
they
are
suitable,
because
we
want
to
put
them
back
out
there.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
they're
prepared
and
understand
exactly
what
they
get
themselves
into.
C
This
is
very
dangerous
work
because
they
are
going
out
there
on
the
front
line
and
they're
gonna
be
working
in
the
trenches,
and
so
you
know
their
lives
are
in
our
hands.
You
know,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
are
are
very
confident
about
the
their
role
and
how
they're
going
to
go
into
this
neighborhood
to
make
a
difference.
And
so
we
really
speak
like
we
know.
C
We
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
just
making
sure
that
they
train
that
they're
tested
and
that
they're
ready
to
go
out
there
so
that
when
we
do
deploy
that
team,
we
feel
confident
that
they
are
a
very
competent
team.
E
What
another
question
I
just
popped
in
my
head:
y'all
are
all
over
the
world
now
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we
had
actually
had
an
opportunity
to
hear
some
of
the
information
on
cure
violence
about
nine
years
ago.
I
guess
nine
or
ten
years
ago.
E
I
think
one
of
the
things
at
that
time
we
were
we
had
heard
was
that
our
community
is
not
a
small
community,
but
it
was
smaller
than
most
of
the
cities
that
that
y'all
were
operating
in
already
have
have
you
found
that
there's
a
threshold
of
effectiveness
in
terms
of
the
size
or
the
density
of
the
population.
B
E
We're
we're
just
tad
above
that
we
could.
We
could
probably.
B
Yeah
and
looking
at
the
number
m,
I
think
you
all
are
having
you
know
definitely
above
a
national
average
in
terms
of
events,
and
so
I
think,
if
there's
an
area
that
has
multiple
events
over
the
course
of
a
year
right
in
terms
of
like
homicides
and
then
you
know
sometimes
five
times
as
many
shootings
or
just
kind
of
depends
on
what
the
ratio
is,
and
so
that's
how
we
kind
of
think
about
it.
B
But
if
there
are
the
kind
of
pockets
and
clustering
within
the
city,
we
think
about
it
at
kind
of
that
community
unit
and
that's
you
know,
we've
been
successful
in
halifax,
canada,
which
you
know
people
were
surprised
that
actually
there
was
violence
there
to
begin
with,
but
you
know
that
you
know
it
had
not
a
ton
of
homicides,
but
it
had
a
lot
of
shootings
and
so-
and
it
was
again
it
was
you
know,
geographic
clusters
of
it,
and
so
we
were
able
to
kind
of
work
at
those
cluster
levels
all
right.
Thank
you.
B
F
I
think
counselor
house
has
a
question
counselor
house.
If
you
could
unmute
yourself.
G
B
B
B
C
I
have
one
two
I
wanted
to
add
to
that
in
reference
to
the
timeline.
C
You
know
when
you
really
dive
into,
and
you
look
at
the
historical
context
like
in
terms
of
how
long
folks
have
been
really
dealing
with
these
issues,
these
kind
of,
like
socio-economic,
you
know
kind
of
issues
that
contribute
to
the
you
know,
poverty
and
things
of
that
nature.
A
lot
of
times.
What
happens
is
you
know
when
they
are
working
their
way?
C
Out
of
that
that
that
that
issue
it
may
take,
if
not
equivalent
amount
of
time,
but
more
right
just
to
recover
from
it,
and
so,
when
we
do
see
like
brent
mention
some
some
some
immediate
results
and
maybe
even
some
sustainable
results.
It
is
something
that
we'd
like
to
think
that
it
becomes
a
permanent
part
of
the
way
the
city
does
business.
I
can
tell
you
here
in
new
york,
we
now
we're
going
on
12
years.
C
You
know
of
applying
this
model,
you
know,
since
we
was
introduced
to
it
back
in
2009-10,
and
so
you
know
and
we
have
every
intentions.
I
know
our
administration
has
gone
on
record
and
saying
that
this
is
something
that
we're
looking
to
make
permanent,
because
we
really
want
to
get
it
to
the
day
and
I'm
sure
you
as
well
in
columbus,
where
there
is
a
zero
reported
homicide.
C
H
H
C
So
the
average
life-
let's
say
order.
You
know
the
the
history
that
we
we
see
is
that
folks
come
in
and
work
an
average
between
three
to
five
years,
and
so
you
know
that's
something
that
we
do
know
that.
C
Going
a
transformation
themselves
as
well,
and
so,
as
mentioned,
our
goal
is
to
not
only
you
know,
just
to
grow,
to
make
it
so
that
they
do,
like
you
know,
model
the
new
behavior
and
that
actually
encourage
others
to
get
involved.
And
we
see
that
happening
on
a
regular
basis
where
folks,
who
were
a
participant
on
someone's
caseload,
is
someone
that
is
seriously
considered
to
become
a
member
of
the
actual
team.
And
so
there
is
a
lot
of
that.
C
That's
happening
across
the
country
where
individuals
are
coming
in
and
they're
starting
off
as
outreach
workers
and
or
violence
interrupters
and
then
they're
moving
around
inside
the
entity.
They
maybe
move
on.
Some
of
them
become
part
of
their
supervisory
role,
the
administrative
role,
some
even
grow
to
even
start
their
own
sites
and
so
yeah.
It
is
something
that
it
does
really
do,
create
a
pathway
for
employment
for
other
individuals
in
the
neighborhood.
So
it's
averaging
between
three
to
five
years.
E
One
more
one
more
question:
y'all
are
y'all
are
in
the
midst
of
your
analysis.
Right
now,
I
guess
yep.
Typically,
how
long
does
that
take.
B
You
know
I
I
think
you
should
be
done
with
this
shortly.
I
mean
there's
the
things,
the
answers
you
know
in
terms
of
like
the
positioning,
the
data
you
know,
I
think
all
that's
what
we
really
want
to
get
to
in
the
next
couple
weeks
is,
you
know
really
honing
in,
and
some
work
has
been
done
on
what
the
specific
areas
are
and
then
from
that
what
would
be
a
recruitment
strategy
for
the
workers
and
so
we're
hoping
to
have
that
done
shortly?
Those
are
kind
of
the
next
steps.
B
B
I
think
we
just
have
to
land
on
a
couple
things
over
the
course
of
the
next
couple
weeks
and
then
I
think
we'd
be
ready
to
you
know,
making
some
moves
forward
so
short
term
for
sure
and
again
that
really
has
to
do
with
our
partners
on
the
ground.
Just
being
you
know,
super
persistent
and
and
ver
and
very
methodical
in
terms
of
the
data
gathering
and
and
who
they've
convened
as
as
a
group
and
as
as
kind
of
stakeholders
is
it.
B
I
would
say-
and
I've
been
doing
this
for
a
long
time-
has
been
the
most
organized
ever
and
we're
very
pleased
to
be
in
this
partnership
and
and
are
taking
it
very
seriously.
So
we're
very
happy
to
be
working
with
them.
I
So
mayor,
I
hope
y'all
can
hear
me
now.
I
was
having
an
issue
sorry
about
that.
One
of
the
things
we're
working
on
mayor
as
he
as
brent
said,
is
to
really
start
focusing
on
the
areas
I
mean.
We,
we
have
an
idea.
I
The
data
that
we've
collected
showed
some
anomalies
not
anomalies
per
se
is
bad,
but
we
had
a
higher
average
age
range
when
it
came
to
offenders
and
victims
of
almost
average
of
30
year.
30.9
was
the
average
age
for
most
of
the
events
across
robberies,
assaults
and
as
well
as
murders.
I
Definitely
blackmails
is
the
the
highest
population
that
we've
seen
across,
which
we
kind
of
had
an
idea.
That
was
the
case,
so
the
last
piece
is
really
for
us
to
focus
in
on
making
sure
the
areas
that
we
identified
initially
that
that
data
supports
that
and
ensure
that
you
know
we
are
working
with
the
hospital
to
get
some
data
from
them
as
far
as
what
they're
seeing
coming
through
the
hospital.
I
Just
in
case
it
wasn't
reported
to
the
police,
but
those
numbers
seem
to
be
still
seem
to
be
in
the
line
what
the
police
have.
As
far
as
assaults,
but
there's
some
other
data
in
there
that
they
we
we're
trying
to
track
as
well,
so
we're
pulling
data
from
everybody.
We've
gotten
it
from
enrichment
services
that
provided
a
lot
dealing
with
poverty,
homelessness,
education
and
some
other
things
that
help
out
as
well.
I
But
as
well
as
from
the
hospital
that
told
us
of
the
different
assaults
that
can
come
across
domestic
violence,
rape
of
stabbings
and
gunshot
wounds.
We
were
able
to
really
get
some
ideas
of
what
we're
seeing
even
in
the
pandemic,
but
we're
trying
to
go
farther
back
to
see
what
we
have
from
a
training
in
five
years
and
that's
coming
along
pretty
quickly.
And
hopefully
we
can
get
the
data
that
helps,
helps
us,
identify
the
hot
spots
and
confirms
that
very
quickly
and,
like
brent
said,
you
know,
we'll
start
moving
forward.
J
J
I
think
it
would
probably
be
great
if
you
would
just
kind
of
give
a
little
bit
of
an
update
of
some
of
the
people
that
we've
been
meeting
with
of
late,
because
we
kind
of
sort
of
had
a
great
session
with
some
people
that
we
think
would
be
a
great
great
beginning
process
to
cover
that.
I
Yeah
we've
been
very
fortunate.
We
were
able
to
meet
with
some
of
the
what
we
consider
to
be
the
interrupters
in
our
community
several
different
folks.
I
But
the
amazing
thing
that
we
were
dealing
with
on
monday,
we
sat
down
with
piedmont,
hospital
and
their
trauma,
nurses
and
their
trauma
staff
pastoral
institute
for
mental
health,
east
carver
heights
organization,
community
based
organization
and
then,
like
I
said,
five
or
four
community
based
activists.
I
One
gentleman
we
called
him
tar
head
five-time
convicted
felon.
I
He
was
the
one
that
had
the
caskets
out
at
the
spider
web
on
a
saturday
had
him
displayed
across
universal
road
so
that
people
can,
you
know,
come
out
and
they
talk
serious
business
about.
You
know
if
you
don't
change
your
life
you're
being
these
caskets
jerome
lawson
was
a
very,
I
want
to
say,
very
unique
situation
in
that
he
was
arrested
at
16
for
armed
robbery.
I
His
father
basically
told
him,
you
know
not
to
do
it,
but
basically
don't
get
caught
and
because
you're
16,
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
going
to
prison.
Well,
unfortunately,
he
had
he
committed
armed
robbery
and
was
caught
and
basically
his
dad
couldn't
get
him.
They
sent
him
off
to
prison
for
10
years,
while
in
prison.
I
I
You
know
their
areas,
their
neighborhoods,
to
talk
about
that,
and
what
we
saw
was
a
collaboration
across
different
platforms
and
different
folks,
and
so
we
have
a
good
basis,
and
afterwards
we
ask,
did
everybody
want
to
be
involved?
We
had
about
25
people
in
the
room
and
every
single
one
of
them
raised
a
hand,
so
we're
getting
started
with.
You
know
the
different
violence,
interrupters
and
outreach
workers.
I
That
was
a
major
start,
because
we
were
able
to
really
talk
in
depth
about
the
struggles
in
the
community
and
also
we
have
other
folks
out
in
the
streets,
like
norman
calls
that
are
bringing
us
several
interrupters
as
well.
So
we're
starting
to
build
that
that
basis
and
the
folks
that
we
need
to
be
that
our
outreach
worker
and
as
well
as
that
interrupter,
but
the
biggest
part,
is
creating
that
relationship
between
the
community
and
the
hospital
is
a
big
piece
of
it
as
well.
I
So
I
guess,
if
nobody
else
has
any
questions
you
know
like
we
said
the
net
steps
is
for
us
to
continue
with
this
process.
We'll
probably
have
one
or
two
more
one-on-one
workshops
to
ensure
that
we've
got
a
lot
of
people
involved
in
it
and
able
to
see
the
presentation
but
also
ask
questions.
I
So
we
want
to
have
at
least
one
or
two
more
just
to
kind
of
give
the
the
citizens
an
opportunity
to
hear
it
and
to
ask
questions
and
and
really
move
forward
from
there
to
really
get
to
the
on-site
business.
K
Sorry
we're
kind
of
at
four
o'clock
but
andrea
dorbu,
who
is
our
intern
here
at
the
health
department
working
on
cure
violence
with
us?
She
does
have
some
data
if
there's
time
skip
if
they're
at
the
end,
for
her
to
share
some
of
that,
we
could
do
that
pretty
quickly
as
well.
She's
prepared
to
share
her
screen.
L
Okay,
hi
everyone,
it's
great
meeting
y'all.
Let
me
go
ahead
and
share
my
st.
L
Okay,
that's
great!
So,
as
mr
lewis
said,
the
primary
target
population
are
black
males
in
terms
of
victims.
They
comprise
of
61.18
of
all
victims
of
robberies,
rape
and
aggravated
assault
incidents
from
2016
to
2021
and
in
2021,
it's
just
january
and
february,
2021
that
we
have
the
data
for
so
far
and
then
the
mean
age
of
black
male
victims
was
30.9
and
then
the
mean
age
of
black
male
offenders
was
28.1.
L
That
being
said,
those
numbers
do
look
very
high
in
comparison
to
what
I
have
listed
up
there
as
the
target
population
age
range
between
15
and
24,
and
that
is
mostly
because,
when
we're
looking
at
a
large
data
set,
we
have
outliers.
So
of
course,
some
of
the
age
ranges
for
offenders
and
victims
were
40
years
old
and
50.
L
L
I
F
L
K
L
L
L
And
that's
just
a
brief
overview
of
the
data.
I
can
send
this
to
you
all
and
it
has
more
detailed
information
about
the
trends
between
each
individual
crime
that
was
pulled
from
the
columbus
police
department.
L
E
G
I
Yeah
so
mayor
des
in
city
council,
that's
basically
what,
when
we
were
talking
about
analysis
and
data
and
things
like
that,
that's
what
we
were
trying
to
do
and
trying
to
really
pull
out
because
it
it
gives
us
more
of
a
pinpoint
of
where
we
need
to
focus
in
on
and
not
simply
just
say.
Okay,
let's,
let's
try
an
implementation.
I
You
know
we
need
to
be
very
focused
on
the
groups
and
understand
why
those
numbers
are
like
that
and
ensure
that
we
stay
focused
on
the
right
group
and
not
simply
just
throw
something
in
place.
That's
that's
not
going
to
work
because
we're
not
attacking
the
real
issue.
So,
like
I
said
we,
we
have
a
couple
more
data
points
that
we
need
to
pull,
but
just
kind
of
want
to
give
you
an
idea
and
what
will
send
over
is
really
our
strategic
plan
that
kind
of
covers
high
levels.
E
E
Brent
a.t,
thank
you
all
for
sharing
your
time
with
us.
