Minneapolis Public Safety, Civil Rights & Emergency Management Committee Meeting
A
Okay
good
afternoon,
this
is
the
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
public
safety
civil
rights.
An
emergency
management
committee
today
is
October
26
2016.
My
name
is
blonde
Yang
and
the

of
this

A
If
we're
not
done
with
this
already
today
we
have
six

our
agenda.
Four
of
them
are

Items
and
I
should
also
mention
that
we
do
have

So
we

this
business
of
the

I

justice.
A
B
Mr.
chair
council
members,
this
is
the
third
quarter:
police
report,
staffing
response
reports,
ending
9,
30,
2016
and
I've
placed
a
hard
copy
in
front
of
you
and
I
apologize
for
not
sending
electronically.
That
I
understand.
It
will
be
linked
later
today,
just
really
kind
of
a
brief
overview,
and
then
we
can
app.
You
can
ask
and
get
into
details
if
there's
any
questions
but
in
general
response
times
have
remained
fairly
consistent
for
priority.
One.
B
B
B
In
general,
again
I'm
not
going
to
go
over
each
precinct,
but
the
information
is
there
in
a
precinct
by
precinct
basis,
including
the
recent
number
of
response
calls,
but
again
for
pretty
much
all
the
precincts.
We're
seeing
a
consistent
response
time
for
priority
ones,
between
2015
2016
for
q3
and
again,
with
some
exceptions,
we're
seeing
a
consistent
trend
of
the
priority
to
and
priority
three
increasing.
B
In
the
past,
I
think
it
was
during
the
second
quarter.
There
was
a
request
to
show
the
number
of
calls
by
type,
and
so
we
are
now
including
that
in
the
report-
and
you
can
see
that
by
type
by
precinct
to
get
an
idea
on
the
different
precincts
and
and
I
can't
say
that
there's
a
trend
at
this
point,
because
we
really
don't
have
this
data
broken
out
going
pal
in
the
back
past
and
then
last
but
not
least,
and
I
apologize
for
going
through
this
quickly
of
you
can
see
these
staffing
levels
by
precinct.
B
This
is
complete
staffing
or
I'm.
Sorry,
this
is
sworn
staffing
and
if
you'll
notice
that,
for
the
most
part,
with
the
exception
of
precinct
5,
all
of
our
precincts
have
pretty
much
either
similar
or
slightly
more
staffing.
Then
we
had
a
year
ago
which
trends
with
the
average
number
of
ftes
that
we've
had
within
the
department
between
the
two
years.
Are
there
any
questions.
A
B
C
Mr.
chair
so
year
to
year
our
response
time
overall,
it
seems
like
in
all
precincts,
is
going
up,
but
staffing
isn't
what's
changing
it.
If
you
just
look
at
the
past
few
years,
I
know
that
it's
a
hard
metric
to
measure,
because
we
do
on
our
officers
to
be
spending
as
much
time
as
possible
from
call
to
call,
but
it
it
also
doesn't
seem
to
be
directly
correlated
to
the
number
of
calls
coming
in
here
to
hear
that
there's
an
increased
number
of
calls.
So
what?
B
Mr.
chair
councilmember,
palmisano
rest
of
the
council
I
think
that
during
the
budget
presentation
chief
harteau
spoke
pretty
in
depth
about
some
of
the
different
expectations
that
occurred
over
the
year.
Regarding
the
officers,
there
are
many
more
officers
now
who
are
who
are
walking
beats.
Then
there
were
a
year
ago,
and
so
the
response
time
would
not
be
as
great
because
they're
not
in
the
cards
to
get
there
as
quickly.
B
The
other
thing
is:
where
is
definitely
the
emphasis
and
spending
more
time
in
answering
the
calls
and
answering
questions
and
trying
to
engage
the
community
a
little
bit
more
so
I
think
you're
starting
we're
starting
to
see
that
so
on
one
side,
it's
really
a
positive,
because
I
think
we're
engaging
much
more
of
the
community
than
we
did
a
year
ago
today.
On
the
other
side,
it
definitely
does
impact
that
response
times.
But
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
impact
is
less
an
impact
for
priority.
A
It's
Macpherson
on
our
web
sync,
you
know,
we
see
how
the
numbers
work
or
two,
and
why
are
they
still
difference?
I
mean
you
know
for
quarter
2
of
this
past
year
I
mean
the
number
was
you
know,
fortin,
let's
just
use
the
4th
precinct.
The
number
was
nine
minutes
and
13
seconds,
and
for
this
one
right
here
mates
it's
a
full
minute
and
a
half
more
man.
How
does
that
get
explained?
I
mean
outside
of
just
the
fact
that
it
one
was
the
second
quarter
in
one
was
a
third
floor.
I
think.
B
One
of
the
one
of
the
issues
here
is
that,
if
there's
anything
out
of
the
norm,
it's
still
going
to
be
picked
up,
so
we're
not
taking
out
the
outliers
in
either
direction
so
that
you
know
it.
You
almost
need
to
look
at
a
call
by
call
basis,
instead
of
looking
at
that,
if
there's
a
specific
area
that
you'd
like
us
to
look
into,
we
certainly
can
do
that
and
look
at
the
calls
for
that
particular
precinct
right.
A
I
mean
I,
I
think
it's
it's
across
the
board,
though,
on
every
single
precinct
here,
maybe
looking
at
what
was
posted
for
the
second
quarter
of
two
thousand.
Sixteen
I
mean
just
the
numbers
are
just
staggering.
In
terms
of
you
know,
party
one
phone
calls
and
the
response
times
I
mean
the
response
times
are
probably
in
the
nines
here
and
then
on.
This
court
of
thriving
everything
is
in
almost
probably
in
the
tens
except
well
I
mean
everything's
in
the
tens,
except
for
precinct
1
and
2
I.
B
Think
mr.
chair
I,
think
that
you
know,
if
you
look
at
it
consistently,
though,
from
year
to
year,
you'll
see
that
that
is
the
same
trend
from
last
year
as
it
was
to
this
year,
and
so
my
I
guess
this
is
this
is
purely
speculation.
But
these
were
the
summer
months
compared
to
earlier
in
the
year
and
so
I
think
you
probably
are
going
to
see
more
more
officers
who
are
walking
a
beat
than
in
the
car
we're
in
the
second
quarter.
A
Could
you
check
on
that?
Just
you
know
cuz
I
I'm,
not
theorizing
or
anything
like
that,
but
I
mean
it
seems
like
from
what
I've
looked
at
I
mean
it
just
seems
like
that's
you
know.
A
plausible
explanation
is
just
this
idea
that
for
the
different
seasons
we
have
different
types
of
response
times
and
the
correlations
it
seems
so
I'm
theorizing,
okay!
Well,
thank
you,
council
members,
any
other
questions.
D
Chair
and
I
was
going
to
call
the
chief
about
this,
but
I'll
ask
you
and
all
that,
as
long
as
your
hair
was
thinking
about
this
after
the
budget
presentation
the
other
day
looking
at
staffing
levels
over
the
years
in
2009,
we
had
gotten,
as
I
remember
her
presentation
up
to
almost
900
officers
in
authorized
strength.
Could
you
just
check
and
see
if
we
ever
actually
got
that
many
people
on
staff?
I'm
kind
of
curious
about
that
council.
A
So,
with
this
matter,
I
will
move
that
we
receive
and
file
this
report
any
discussion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
I
any
of
those
all
right.
The
motion
carries
thank
you
and
we
are
on
to
our
six
item,
which
is
a
discussion
item
as
well,
and
it's
a
domestic
violence,
yearly
update
report
and
with
with
us
to
do
the
reports
are,
as
our
city
attorney,
susan,
siegel
and
Susan.
If
you
want
to
introduce
anyone
else,
please
do
so.
E
All
right,
I've
got
my
domestic
violence
team
manager
here,
Michelle
Jacobson
also
our
tech
wizard
here
are
lining
things
up.
F
Want
to
thank
first
of
all
thank
you
for
having
us
here
each
October,
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
get
a
chance
to
talk
to
you
about
our
work
regarding
domestic
violence.
I
especially
want
to
thank
the
council
for
all
their
support
over
the
years.
Without
your
support,
we
couldn't
do
the
work
because
it
is
very
labor
intensive,
and
so
it's
we're
very
appreciative
for
all
you've
done
for
us
and
for
our
partners.
F
So
sore
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
things
that
we've
done
overall
and
one
of
the
biggest
things
is
the
idea
of
collaboration.
Domestic
violence
is
not
something
that
we
can
fight
alone,
and
so
we've
built
a
very
strong
cordier
community
response
to
domestic
violence
here
in
Minneapolis
and
in
hennepin
county
and
on
the
screen.
F
I
know
they're
very
important
piece
is
our
outreach
and
training
for
our
partners.
Our
office
sponsored
a
criminal
justice
partners
training
in
the
spring
we
had
60
people
attend
everyone
from
law
enforcement
officers
to
advocates
to
child
protection
workers
from
all
over
the
county,
and
we
have
another
one
scheduled
for
this
November.
It's
been
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
get
to
know
them
and
them
to
get
to
know
us.
F
We
also
do
active
training
with
multiple
police
jurisdictions,
and
we
did
what
some
rural
call
trainings
this
year
after
you've
Paulo
credit
for
all
of
that
for
our
officers
to
remind
with
the
importance
of
what
they're
doing
on
domestic
violence
calls,
they
have
a
lot
of
things
that
they
have
to
do
on
each
call,
and
so
this
was
a
great
opportunity
to
remind
them.
We
do
training
for
the
new
judges.
F
I
spoke
at
an
ash,
a
nationwide
conference
in
San
Diego
earlier
this
year
to
talk
about
our
Veterans
Court
and
domestic
violence
court,
and
then
we
talked
about
the
hotspots
project
at
the
crime
victims
conference
I've
been
brainerd
earlier
this
year
and
I
think
it's
just
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
let
others
know
around
the
state
and
around
the
country
about
the
good
work
we're
doing
here
in
Minneapolis.
A
conviction
rate
is
one
metric
that
we
can
use
in.
F
One
of
the
things
we
said
is
we
were
going
to
charge
more
cases
before
we
had
this
grant
that
placed
an
additional
police
investigator
to
look
at
the
misdemeanor
level
cases
that
normally
MPD
does
not
have
the
resources
to
look
at.
We
charge
25
cases.
Last
year
we
charged
110
cases.
That's
a
huge
increase.
This
year
through
mid
year,
we
were
at
45
cases.
F
The
number
of
cases
charge
is
a
little
bit
down
this
year,
but
we
have
charged
significantly
more
felony
level
cases
and
Stocking
cases
which
are
particularly
concerning
for
victims,
because
they
generally
involve
repeated
violations
of
some
kind
of
no
contact
order.
I'm
also
extremely
pleased
to
say
that
our
conviction
rate
for
these
cases
has
remained
high.
There
are
some
jurisdictions
that
charge
every
single
domestic
violence
case
that
they
can
and
so
their
conviction
there.
F
Even
more
impressive
is
we've.
With
this
additional
investigator,
we've
been
able
to
decrease
the
amount
of
time
or
the
delay
in
charging
cases
when
I
trained
police
I
often
talk
to
them
about
how
domestic
cases
are
more
like
Boone's
Farm
than
fine
wine,
they
don't
always
age,
particularly
well,
that
usually
gets
a
laugh
out
of
them
and
they
tend
to
like
that
when
I
cut
they
kept,
they
feel
a
little
bit
more
connected
to
me.
F
Three
days
before
we
charged
a
case
this
year,
we're
down
to
27
days
case
resolution.
It
used
to
take
us
almost
half
a
year
for
this
case
to
go
through
the
system
we're
down
to
less
than
a
hundred
days
now,
for
these
gone
on
arrival
cases,
which
are
some
of
the
most
difficult
to
prosecute
now,
unfortunately,
our
Violence
Against
Women
Act
grant
is
ending
this
year.
F
Then,
moving
on
to
our
newest
project,
our
hot
spots
project
that
hot
spots
project
really
was
a
coordination
with
the
police
department
as
well.
We've
talked
about
this
before,
but
there's
around
17,000
911
calls
each
year
their
domestic
violence-related.
As
we
started.
Looking
into
some
of
that
data,
we
found
that
only
about
twenty
to
twenty-five
percent
of
those
calls
actually
result
in
a
police
report
being
made.
Now,
as
we
look
further
into
the
data,
we
also
realize
the
police
we're
doing
the
right
thing,
the
majority
of
the
calls
and
the
data.
F
What
doesn't
show
it
all
right
here
when
there
is
not
an
arrest
made
it's
because
the
facts
of
that
incident
don't
support
an
arrest.
It's
about
people
being
out
of
control,
maybe
an
argument,
maybe
a
dispute
over
property,
and
so
what
we
realize,
though,
is
in
the
majority
of
cases
the
victim
of
that
domestic
violence
incident
had
reached
out
to
the
police
or
to
the
system
for
help,
and
no
one
was
helping
them
because
there
was
no
follow-up
being
done.
The
cops
got
there.
F
They
assess
the
situation,
made
the
determination
that
a
police
report
couldn't
be
made
and
the
victim
didn't
get
any
follow-up
assistance,
because
no
one
really
knew
about
the
call
with
our
hot
spots
project.
We
formed
a
team
and
one
of
the
other
things
we
focused
on
the
violent
crime
hot
spots
because,
interestingly
enough,
the
number
one
reason
that
people
called
nine
when
in
those
hot
spots
was
for
domestic
violence
related
areas,
and
so
these
are
the
areas
in
North
Minneapolis
that
we
focused
on.
We
also
are
working
in
south
Minneapolis.
F
You
can
see
the
hot
spots
on
there
with
one
additional
area
that
we're
working
in,
which
is
the
Bosman
Terrace
area
that
does
not
appear
on
that
map.
It
is
not
a
violent
crime
hot
spot,
but
it
is
a
domestic
violence
hotspot,
and
so
we
are
also
working
in
there
as
well,
and
so
what
the
hotspot
team
does
is.
We
have
conducted
a
follow-up
homes,
it
there
and
I
talk
like
we
like
I'm,
going
out
and
doing
visits.
No,
it's
not
me.
F
It's
actually
two
people
who
are
far
more
qualified
than
me,
a
police
officer
from
that
precinct
and
then
a
family
therapist
from
the
domestic
abuse
project
they
go
out.
They
offer
services
talk
to
the
people
about
what's
going
on
and
really
we
gather
information
in
the
hopes
that
we
can
improve
how
we
are
responding
to
domestic
violence
in
those
homes.
F
These
are
our
goals
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
after
doing
this,
for
about
a
year
and
a
half,
we
have
been
very
successful
in
reaching
these
goals
and
I'll
just
share
one
story.
Right
now
here
looks
like
just
one
second,
just
kind
of
telling
you
what
we've
done
so
far.
So
far,
we've
made
858
different
hotspots
visits.
We
visited
668
different
addresses.
F
Amazingly,
even
though
this
is
just
a
cold
call.
It's
like
someone
walking
up
to
your
door
and
knocking
on
there.
You
don't
expect
them.
We've
had
a
seventy
percent
sex
success
rate
in
talking
to
someone
at
the
address
and
oftentimes
we're
actually
talking
to
one
of
the
parties
involved
in
the
call
or
multiple
parties
involved.
In
the
call
we,
the
team
is
spoken
to
over
480
different
people.
One
of
the
biggest
things
is:
we've
increased
the
awareness
of
domestic
violence,
resources
and
other
community-based
resources
for
those
people.
F
What
people
were
telling
us
is,
they
were
talking
about
the
issues
in
their
home,
but
anywhere
between
and
twenty
percent
of
those
people
said
I,
don't
know
where
to
go
for
services.
What
are
the
therapists
have
also
told
us:
is
some
tights
not
just
I,
don't
know
where
to
go.
I
don't
have
the
resources
to
get
there.
F
We're
trying
to
take
that
information
so
that
that
initial
police
response
can
be
more
effective
and
we
can
actually
address
the
issues
going
on
in
the
home
rather
than
just
a
levying
a
crisis,
and
one
of
the
things
that's
as
I
said
we're
trying
to
increase
our
own
awareness
of
what
is
going
on
and
how
we
can
intervene
more
effectively.
It's.
G
You
very
much
mr.
chair,
if
you
could
go
back
one
slide
or
be
helpful
to
me,
I'm
just
looking
at
the
at
the
first
two
numbers
there
858
668
yeah.
Is
it
fair
to
assume
that
there
could
be
a
duplication
about
making
multiple
visits
there,
but
where's
that,
what's
the
difference
between
those
two
hundred
so.
F
That
we
so
there
are
modrus
is
that
we've
been
there
multiple
times,
but
there's
668
addresses
separate
addresses
that
we
visited.
So
that's
the
difference
between
the
two
numbers
right.
F
Council,
member
Quincy:
this
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
prosecution
of
the
cases
I
know
coming
from
the
prosecutor's
office.
It
seemed
like
it
would
be
something
we
would
do,
but
no,
we
were
really.
I
mean
you
know
this
suit.
This
is
a
lot
of
do
to
Susan's
great
work
as
she's
doing
with
our
chronic
offenders
work.
It's
if
we're
not
just
looking
at.
How
can
we
lock
people
up?
How
can
we
prosecute
them?
We're
really
looking
at?
How
can
we
address
these
issues
outside
of
the
criminal
justice
system?
F
What
I
know
from
my
work
in
domestic
violence
is
the
majority
of
times
the
victims
tell
us
they
want
to
see
the
case
dismissed,
but
at
the
same
time
they
tell
us
they
want
the
violence
to
stop,
and
so
this
is
our
opportunity
to
reach
out
before
criminal
case
even
happens
before
a
conviction
happens
to
someone
it's
more
difficult
for
them
to
find
a
job
find
housing.
So
our
hope
is
that
we
can
intervene
before
it
even
comes
to
us
in
the
courts,
because
that
is
not
always
the
most
effective
way
to
deal
with
this.
F
F
Do
track
that
information?
We
have
a
two
page
log
that
we
use
and
one
of
the
some
of
the
information
on
there
is
who
else
lives
at
the
home?
How
are
the
kids
doing
in
school?
We
don't
you
know,
we
don't
go
back.
We
don't
report
things
to
child
protection,
but
we
do
look
at
it
because
one
of
our
goals
for
this
project
is
to
figure
out
better
ways
to
intervene.
D
F
Mr.
chair
council,
Council
of
President
Johnson,
one
of
the
things
that
we
know
about
domestic
violence
is
that
it
often
takes
the
victim
six
or
seven
times
before
they'll
leave
a
situation.
So
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
success
on
the
first
call
is
very
well
that's
to
be
expected
when
you're
working
with
a
domestic
violence
call.
F
What
we
have
seen
with
the
repeated
calls
is
sometimes
the
second
or
third
call
is
when
we
really
make
that
connection
with
that
person
and
I've
talked
a
lot
to
the
therapist
who
are
going
on
in
the
projects
and
they
get
to
know
the
people
they
sometimes
feel
more
comfortable
with
them.
On
that
later
visit
and
they're
willing
to
share
more
information.
The
other
thing
that
that
the
fact
that
we
know
we're
going
back
to
repeated
addresses
is
one
of
the
issues
that
we
are
addressing
and
Susan
talked
about
it
earlier.
F
What
the
family
navigator
would
be
would
be
a
county
employee
who
would
be
house
somewhere
near
the
fourth
Precinct,
so
both
our
hot
spot
team
and
officers
in
the
4th
precinct
could
make
direct
referrals
to
this
family
navigator
when
they
have
an
address
where
they've
gone
multiple
times
and
where
the
problem
is
not
one
that
they
can
arrest
the
way
out
of,
but
instead
involves
issues
more
like
mental
health,
children
out
of
control
chemical
dependency.
What
that
family
navigator
would
do
would
be
able
to
make
would
be
able
to
go
to
the
home.
F
Do
a
follow-up
visit
affirmatively
offer
services,
we're
not
asking
someone
in
crisis
to
go?
Oh,
if
you
come
downtown
here
to
the
government
center
or
even
to
the
service
center
in
North,
Minneapolis
we're
actually
going
out
and
affirmatively,
offering
them
help
to
navigate
the
system,
which
can
be
very
confusing
and
overwhelming
for
people.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
these
multiple
address
calls
has
led
us
towards,
and
that
is
one
of
the
ways
that
we
think
we
can
potentially
make
this
program
sustainable
because
it
would
be.
F
F
And
ultimately,
if
we
fund
this
in
the
fourth
Precinct,
my
Pope
in
my
dream
is
that
it
will
be
successful
and
that
will
go
back
in
future
years
and
ask
for
one
in
the
3rd
precinct
in
the
2nd
precinct
and
the
first
and
the
fifth,
and
that
that'll
be
a
partnership
that
we
can
sustain
for
the
future.
Okay.
D
D
C
You
mr.
chair,
it
says
858
hotspot
visits.
Is
that
all
of
the
attempts,
or
is
that
the
seventy
percent
contact
rate
that.
C
C
F
Palmisano
mr.
chair,
right
now
we
are
proposing
it
as
a
pilot
for
the
4th
precinct.
We
would
not
limit
it
to
the
hot
spots
it
would
be
available
to
the
4th
precinct.
Our
hope
I
would
love
to
sell
it
to
the
county
as
something
that
we
could
go
citywide
with,
but
our
hope
is
that
we
can
launch
it
as
a
pilot
there
and
then
quickly,
expand
it
to
the
whole
city.
Ok,.
C
And
then
is
that
does
that
seem
sufficient
for
a
meaningful
pilot
I
mean
so
before
when
I
was
thinking
of
a
citywide
I
was
looking
at
your
other
figures
and
thinking.
17,000
domestic
violence
calls
20
20
20
to
25
percent.
Were
no
police
report
is
filed.
It
still
seemed
to
leave
about
four
thousand
calls
and
one
person's
queue
to
decide
to
follow
up
on
our
try
to
follow
up
on
or
not.
Is
it
seeing
that
we
would
get
meaningful
data
from
one
family
navigator
position
I'm.
F
Our
hope
is
that
that
will
be
just
be
a
start,
because
some
of
the
17,000
calls
do
result
in
arrest.
Some
are
one-time
incidences,
so
not
every
911
call
needs
the
same
level
of
follow-up.
Our
hope
is
that
will
pilot
this
and
then,
if
it
turns
out
that
there
is
more
need
than
will
ask
for
more,
we
are
also
right
now
writing
a
grant
proposal
with
the
Mindy
Minnesota
Indian
women's
resource
center
to
fund
a
similar
family
navigator
for
the
Native
American
community
at
little
earth,
because
that
is
another
one
of
our
hot
spots.
C
F
E
Mr.
tarun
councilmember
Palmisano
just
to
follow
up
on
that
point.
We
did
ask
the
mayor,
including
her
recommendations,
funding
for
this
pilot
for
one
more
year
on,
at
which
point
were
hopeful
that
that
and
and
the
county
has
been
a
great
partner
and
they've
been
participating
in
in
the
meetings
that
Michelle
has
been
chairing,
that
we'll
be
able
to
try
this
family
navigator,
a
position
and
that
that'll
be
the
sustainability
model,
so
that
that
the
this
pilot
will
end
at
the
end
of
2017,
we've
gathered
a
lot
of
information.
E
We
thought
it
was
particularly
helpful
because
these
are
in
these
persistent
overtime,
violent
crime
areas
and
will
help
us
learn
and
understand
what
some
of
the
needs
are.
The
families
they're
on
in
the
hopes
of
reducing
that
level
of
violence
overall
on
and
trying
to
develop
a
more
proactive,
a
human
services
delivery
model.
You
know
when
there's
not
a
crime,
because
this
focuses
on
situations
where
there's
a
need.
The
police
are
spending
a
lot
of
time,
responding
because
they're
getting
a
911
call,
but
it's
not
because
criminal
activity
has
actually
happened.
E
People
need
help
getting
somebody
out
of
their
house,
for
example,
but
not
necessarily
a
crime
or
at
least
a
prosecutable
crime.
So
it's
really
trying
to
focus
in
there
understand
and
learn
more
and
there's
a
lot
of
data.
That's
been
collected,
information
I
sounds
better
than
data,
because
these
are
about
human
beings
and
issues
that
they're
facing
and
hoping
to
put
social
services.
Doing
social
service
work
again,
helping
to
free
up
our
officers
to
really
focus
on
you
know
on
public
safety
issues,
so
I
hope
that's
helpful.
E
We
did
lose
and
it
did
mention
in
in
our
budget.
We
didn't
lose.
We
weren't
awarded
in
new
federal
Violence
Against
Women
Act
grant,
and
so
we
are
going
to
have
to
work
on
transitioning.
That's
gone
on
arrival
work.
We're
grateful
that
police
department
is
going
to
keep
this
investigator.
This
additional
investigative
help
that
the
domestic
view
service
center,
which
will
make
a
big
difference
and
we're
hopeful
that
we've
now
institutionalized
these
other
measures
that
the
Violence
Against
Women
Act
grant
we've
had
for
the
last
three
years
such
funded.
Thank.
F
You
just
a
couple
additional
things:
we're
doing
towards
the
sustainability
piece
I'm.
The
other
thing
that
we're
working
on
developing
is
some
kind
of
handout
that
we
can
be
precinct
specific,
that
officers
could
access
through
the
MPD
website
so
that
if
they
go
to
a
home,
they'd
have
a
quick
link
to
say
you
know.
If
the
issue
is
more
chemical
dependency,
they
can
actually
get
a
good
resource
for
people,
because
it's
available
for
them
will
be
promoting
that
with
officers
as
soon
as
we
develop
that.
F
But
that
is
one
other
piece
that
we
could
deal
with,
because
the
officers
have
a
lot
of
things
to
remember
and
so
adding
something
a
link
to
the
Hennepin
County
Human
Services
website,
where
they
have
a
lot
of
that
information
available.
But
where
people
can
go
is
one
of
the
other
pieces
that
we're
looking
at
for
sustainability.
D
F
One
other
just
kind
of-
and
you
know
those
statistics
and
the
data
as
Susan
said-
are
just
right
there.
Those
are
Duchess
data
and
statistics,
some
of
us
like
them,
but
really
these
these
impact
people,
and
we
have
I.
One
quote
on
here
that
a
woman
who
the
hot
spots
team
visited
back
in
April
said
she
said
thanks
for
caring
enough
to
check
in
on
us.
F
I
was
pulling
some
data
for
a
meeting
for
later
this
week,
and
this
is
what
another
woman
said
after
a
hot
spot
visit,
this
was
in
September
in
south
Minneapolis.
It
feels
good
to
me
and
makes
me
feel
happy
that
people
are
looking
out
for
me
that
really
gets
to
this
piece
of
engagement,
seeing
the
police
as
a
helper,
not
just
a
person
there
whose
out
to
arrest
them
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
hidden
benefits
of
this
project.
F
The
police
and
dab
therapists
also
have
found
this
to
be
a
useful
project.
They
say
people
you
not
every
time.
Obviously
not
everyone
wants
to
talk
to
them,
but
people
are
they
look
forward
to
their
or
they
thanked
them
for
their
visit
after
they
get
over
that
initial
weariness,
and
it
really
has
made
a
huge
impact
on
people.
F
So
just
talking
about
our
next
steps
right
now,
the
project
will
be
funded
next
year
in
the
mayor's
proposed
budget.
If
that
is
approved,
we
are
meeting
with
Hennepin
County
to
talk
about
this
family
navigator
position
and
we
are
writing
a
grant
with
Minnesota
and
Women's
Resource
Center
to
fund
one
at
little
earth
we're
developing
the
resource
link
for
officers
and
I
could
include
that
on
there
and
then
just
some
other
things
related
to
our
work
with
TV,
just
to
speak
generally
about
the
viola
grant.
F
F
We
are
looking
to
engage
more
community
partners
and
we're
going
to
be
holding
a
community
forum
before
the
end
of
the
year
with
more
partners
to
talk
about
what
we
can
do
better
to
engage
the
community
and
what
the
community
needs
as
far
as
domestic
violence
and
then
one
other
piece.
We
have
written
a
grant
that
did
not
get
funded,
but
where
we
would
like
to
research
the
effectiveness
of
our
case
resolution
in
reducing
future
violence.
F
We
did
that
with
a
professor
from
Hamlin
and
Portland
State
University,
where
they
would
look
at
what
the
result
of
a
case
whether
it
was
charged,
not
charge,
dismissed
what
type
of
conviction
we
got
to
see
how
that
effect
on
future
recidivism,
the
first
application.
We
got
that
we
made.
We
did
not
get
funded,
but
we
got
very
positive
responses
on
that.
So
we
will
be
looking
in
the
next
year
to
find
a
place
to
find
that
work,
and
that
would
be
groundbreaking
work
in
the
field
of
domestic
violence.
F
So
we're
hopeful
that
we
will
find
that
because
oftentimes
we
do
offer
reduced
please
and
domestic
violence,
because
it
has
a
more
positive
or
less
of
a
negative
impact
on
the
families,
and
so
we
would
are.
We
do
want
to
see
if
that
is
as
effective
as
asking
for
a
plea
to
the
top
charge
and
getting
jail
time
and
other
things
in
reducing
future
violence.
So
that's
one
of
our
next
plans
for
the
future.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
council
members,
any
questions,
Miss
Jacobson
a
couple
things.
One
is
the
presentation
in
itself:
I
don't
see
it
linked
on
the
agenda,
and
so,
if
you
can
give
that
information
to
miss
Casper
linkit,
that
would
be
wonderful,
just
shows
the
wonderful
work
that
you
all
have
done
and
I
it's
almost
like.
If
it's
not
published
you
know
on
the
web,
it's
not
really
real.
So
if
you
could
do
that,
that's.
A
Right,
that's
right,
yeah
and
you
know
the
other
thing
is
you
know
you
kind
of
open
the
door
a
little
bit
and
so
I'm
just
gonna
go
and
ask
you
this
question
and
or
you
know,
if
you
can
explain
a
little
bit
further.
You
had
said
earlier
that
prosecutors
play
a
role
in
a
slowing
response
time,
and
you
know
we
won't
say
that
too
loudly
but
I'm.
Can
you
kind
of
explain
that
a
little
bit
just
so
that
the
viewing
public
understands
what
that
means?
In
second.
F
Grade
Asher
councilmember
earth
sure
what
that
means
is
you
know
when
I
first
started
as
a
prosecutor,
police
officers
wrote
very,
very
short
police
reports.
They
were
one
or
two
sentences,
long
for
some
crimes,
that's
enough
for
us
to
prosecute
a
case
successfully
if
they
see
someone,
for
example,
drinking
a
beer
in
public.
If
the
police
report
says
I
walked
up,
I
saw
John
Doe
standing
there
drinking
a
beer,
I
smelled.
It
was
beer,
that's
enough
for
us
to
prosecute
the
case.
F
Unfortunately,
for
other
types
of
cases
we
need
more
information
if
we're
going
to
be
able
to
go
forward
with
the
case.
So
one
of
the
things
we've
done
over
the
years
is
trained
police
officers
on
how
to
write
more
in-depth
police
reports.
Domestic
violence
is
one
area
where
we've
asked
police
officers
to
write
longer
reports.
Those
longer
reports
give
us
enough
information,
so
we
can
proceed
with
prosecution
because
we
have
more
details.
We
know
more
about
what
the
incident
started
over
and
so
that
is
why
I
say
I.
F
A
Essentially,
what
you're
saying
is
that
officers
who
responded
911
phone
calls?
Sometimes
they
tend
to
stay
a
little
bit
longer
to
get
more
detailed
so
that
they
could
write
the
reports,
and
so
that
takes
a
little
bit
of
time
away
from
them.
Responding
to
their
next
phone
call.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,.
F
That's
correct
in
our
hope
is
on
mr.
chair
that
by
spending
a
little
bit
more
time
on
that,
one
call
that
it
can
reduce
future
calls
to
that
same
address
for
the
same
thing.
So,
while
that
one
individual
call
may
take
a
little
bit
longer
to
deal
with,
they
won't
have
to
go
back
to
the
address
four
or
five
or
six
times
in
the
future,
because
we'll
be
able
to
have
a
successful
intervention.
That
first
time
as
opposed
to
having
five
or
six
calls.
Okay.
