Description
Minneapolis Public Safety, Civil Rights & Emergency Management Committee Meeting
A
All
right
good
afternoon
welcome
to
the
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
public
safety
civil
rights
and
emergency
management
committee
meeting
today
is
October
25th
2017.
My
name
is
LAN
yang
the
chair
of
this
committee
and
with
me
our
accounts
members,
Palmisano
Gordon
Quincy
in
Council,
President
Johnson
counts.
Member
right
may
be
joining
us
shortly
and
we
are
a
quorum
of
this
committee.
So
we
can
conduct
the
businesses
of
this
committee
and
you
know
before
we
start
councilmember
Palmisano
had
something
to
add
to
the
agenda.
It's.
B
Mr.
chair,
thank
you
I'd,
like
to
add
the
staff
direction
is
before
you
and
there
are
copies
to
the
edge
of
the
dais
regarding
police
department
body,
worn
camera
staffing
I'd
like
to
add
that
at
the
end
of
this
consent
agenda,
so
as
item
number
seven
and
then
I
can
speak
to
it
when
you're
ready,
okay,.
B
We're
adding
this
as
a
result
of
my
ongoing
conversations
with
Chief
arredondo
and
also
from
the
budget
hearing
last
week,
where
he
indicated
that
these
two
video
analyst
positions
for
the
police
department
are
are
very
important
to
him
and
he
said
he
needs
them,
as
of
yesterday.
I
think
we're
his
exact
words,
so
this
is
an
opportunity
to
direct
Human
Resources
staff
to
help
us
and
get
those
FTEs
moving
so
that
they
can
be
in
place
as
soon
as
possible.
B
A
Does
anybody
have
any
issue
with
placing
this
on
the
agenda,
not
on
the
specifics
of
or
the
merits
of
this,
but
just
on
putting
it
on
the
agenda?
No
issues,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
motion
carries.
We
will
add
that
as
item
number
seven
and
that
will
be
before
the
discussion
items
and
so
we'll
move
the
to
discussion,
items
eight
or
nine
and
we
will
not
call
this
consent
item.
We
will
have
a
discussion
on
this,
but
the
first
discussion
item
all
right.
A
That
being
said,
we
have
six
consent
items
and
three
discussion
items.
The
first
consent
item
is
a
gift
acceptance
from
John
Jay
College
of
four
smart
on
crime.
Innovations
conference
travel
expenses.
The
second
item
is
a
Paul
Coverdell
forensic
science
improvement
grant
award.
The
third
item
is
a
contract
amendment
with
trans
languages
for
language
translation
services?
The
fourth
item
is
a
grant
from
the
US
bank
or
increased
video
camera
security
along
the
East
Lakes
record
warrant.
Fifth
item
is
a
contract
with
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority
for
section
8,
Housing
Choice
Voucher
program.
A
The
sixth
item
is
a
contract
with
the
Department
of
Veterans
or
Veterans
Affairs
for
fire
suppression
emergency
services.
Anyone
want
to
pull
anything
off
for
discussion
all
right.
Seeing
none
and
I
just
saw
the
councilmember
right
just
joined
us.
Welcome
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed.
All
right
motion
carries
and
the
first
discussion
item
is
the
sat
direction
and
Councilman
with
Palmisano.
So
councilmember
Palmisano.
Why
don't
you
take
it
sure.
B
Well,
the
direction
is
about
as
succinct
as
as
my
talking
points
here
today.
I
know.
You
all
are
well
aware
of
the
results
of
the
body,
worn
camera
audit,
and
this
is
one
of
the
follow-up
items
that
we
can
do
right
away
from
it,
helping
to
get
analysts
FTEs
working
within
our
body,
camera
program.
It
is
needed
and
it's
part
of
the
labor-intensive
process
of
making
a
body
worn
camera,
effective,
I.
B
Chief
arredondo
feels
strongly
that,
while
originally
there
were
supervisors
that
we're
going
to
be
charged
with
oversight
of
the
body,
worn
camera
program
for
those
officers
that
they
supervise,
that
that
isn't
actually
realistic
and
that
these
two
analyst
positions
could
help
to
provide
just
data
and
information
to
keep
it
in
front
of
supervisors
to
help
with
the
effectiveness
and
the
the
behavior
change
that
we
needed
here
from
from
the
body
worn
camera
program.
So
what's
before,
you
is
simply
asking
the
police
and
human
resources
staff
to
begin
the
hiring
process.
B
For
these
two
analyst
positions
and
that's
what
I'm
asking
a
question
you
might
have
would
be
how
to
pay
for
it.
Well,
the
process
will
take
a
while.
The
hiring
process
won't
actually
incur
money
needed
for
it
until
2018.
So
the
2018
budget
is
how
we
will
work
to
get
these
in
an
ongoing
way
into
our
Police
Department.
C
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
as
the
as
we're
working
through
the
budget
process.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
note
that
I
appreciate
that
the
this
being
added
and
being
considered
I
think
it
does
advance
the
work
and
pleased
it
doesn't
have
a
dollar
amount
or
a
staff
Direction
attached
to
that
as
part
of
the
budget
process,
that
we
don't
need
to
open
up
at
this
point.
C
But
it's
it's
clear,
especially
from
ongoing
discussions
that
have
happened
since
the
body,
worn
camera
policies
been
implemented
and
changed
as
council
member
palmesano
pointed
out
so
I'm,
very
supportive
of
the
staff
direction
and
I
think
it
will
advance
the
work
that
may
be
coming
forward
or
may
not
be
coming
forward
through
our
budget
process.
But
that
doesn't
should
not
derail
us
from
advancing
the
work
as
fast
as
we
can.
A
B
A
And
you
know
I
I
just
want
to
echo
councilmember
Quincy's
point,
which
is
that
you
know
sometimes
when
we
do
the
budget
process.
What
I've
seen
is
that
typically,
we
allocate
from
the
budget
process
and
it
takes
maybe
about
six-
maybe
even
longer,
to
get
that
process
started
in
terms
of
hiring
folks,
sometimes
I've
seen
longer
than
even
six
months.
In
so
I
mean
you
know,
Cedar
Point's
counts,
member
Palmisano
about
just
you
know
needing
this
yesterday,
so
pushes
so
that
maybe
it
takes
a
couple
months
instead
of
six
months
would
be
good.
A
D
A
E
E
So
I'm
going
to
just
brief
you
on
what
that
involves
a
priority
dispatch.
We
are
currently
at
our
full
implementation
phase.
This
has
been
a
lengthy
project.
We
started
back
in
May
of
2016
went
by
issuing
an
RFP.
We
were
granted
the
funding,
and
so
now
it's
come
to
full
fruition
and
we
are
fully
live
on
the
software.
E
E
So,
in
a
nutshell,
the
priority
dispatch
system
allows
our
agency
to
better
prioritize
9-1-1
calls.
It
provides
life-saving
instructions
for
critical
situations,
for
instance
someone
trapped
in
a
burning
building.
We
now
have
proven
best
practices
to
help
people
be
as
safe
as
they
can
be.
Depending
on
the
situation.
E
It
consistently
provides
every
caller
with
the
highest
level
of
service
and
it
assists
in
getting
better
information
to
their
responders
by
being
able
to
continue
to
gather
information
after
the
responders
have
been
dispatched.
So
there's
no
delay
in
dispatching
now,
of
course,
minneapolis
9-1-1
has
done
this
all
along
in
our
homegrown
home
developed
dispatch
system.
E
E
Here
again,
the
just
highlights
that
the
protocols
follow
internationally
recognized
standards,
gives
universal,
consistent
care
and
service
to
every
caller
prioritizes
calls
for
appropriate
and
fast
response
and
provides
the
zero
minute
dispatch
life
support
using
pre
arrival
and
post
dispatch
instructions
to
help
callers
be
as
safe
as
they
can.
Depending
on
the
situation,
I
will
say
that
we
as
part
of
this,
have
a
dispatch
Committee
dispatch
review
committee
that
consists
of
representatives
from
police
fire,
our
dispatchers
and
IT,
so
that
meeting
weekly.
E
So
what
to
expect
when
you
call
9-1-1
the
protocols,
begin
with
a
set
set
of
questions?
What's
the
address
of
the
emergency,
please
repeat
the
address
for
verification
and
then
tell
me
exactly
what
happened?
The
call
taker
can
send
help
while
gathering
information
for
responders
can
provide
those
life-saving
instructions
of
applicable
and
will
remain
on
the
line
with
you
until
help
arrives.
If
that
is
necessary,.
E
We
are
working
toward
accreditation
through
the
International
Academy
becoming
an
accredited
center
of
excellence.
We
would
join
other
centers
accredited
centers
across
the
country
and
in
other
countries
as
well
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
up-to-date
public
care
and
efficient
resource
utilization.
F
Will
notice
two
critical
questions
asked
before
responders
are
dispatched?
What
is
the
address
of
the
emergency
and
tell
me
exactly
what
happened?
These
critical
questions
allow
responders
to
identify
where
the
emergency
is
and
what
the
emergency
is
in
case,
the
call
is
disconnected
listen
as
the
not
on
one
call
taker
ask
important
questions
that
will
help
the
responders
prepare
for
the
emergency
as
well
as
assist
a
caller
by
providing
pre-arrival
instructions.
These
questions
and
pre-arrival
instructions
are
all
part
of
an
accredited
program
known
as
emergency
fire
dispatch.
H
Let
me
repeat
that
address
verification,
four.
F
F
H
Not
try
to
put
the
fire
out
and
do
not
care
anything
out
that
is
on
fire
if
it's
safe
to
do
so,
keep
watch
standers
away
from
the
area,
and
it's
on
some
of
the
guys.
The
emergency
crews
of
the
general
area
do
not
approach
or
enter
any
hazardous
or
dangerous
area.
Okay,
I
will.
Let
you
go
now.
Help
is
on
the
way.
If
anything
workings
in
any
way
call
us
back
immediately.
Okay,
help.
F
A
But
you
know,
I
do
have
a
question,
though,
with
regards
to
it:
I
mean
I've
made
a
few
9-1-1
phone
calls
in
my
time
where
I
live,
and
you
know
what
what
has
been
I
mean
it's
totally
standard
from
what
I
can
see,
but
you
know
the
one
thing
that
was
odd
was
that
you
know
every
time
that
I
made
those
calls.
You
know,
especially
on
shots,
fired
calls.
You
know
it
was
always.
There
was
always
like
this.
A
E
Mr.
chair
I,
without
reviewing
the
individual
calls,
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
to
say
normally
we
certainly
our
practice
is
that
we
take
everyone
at
their
word
when
they
call
in,
and
sometimes
some
of
our
staff
is
newer.
Some
you
know
there
may
be
someone
being
in
a
coaching
situation,
for
instance,
but
I
would
encourage
you
if,
if
that
happens
to
let
me
know
it
so
that
we
can
look
into
it
right.
A
Well,
you
know
it
wasn't
anything
to
be
alarmed
about.
It
was
just
kind
of
a
situation
where
I
just
always
think
like
there
there's
that
pause.
That
just
makes
the
average
person
that
calls
this
kind
of
think
well.
Do
they
not
believe
me,
and
then
you
know
next,
you
know
there's
like
ten
calls
from
the
same
incident
and
all
of
a
sudden
it's
real.
Now
right,
and
so
that's
that's
just
my
little
thing
then
yeah
any
other
questions
right.
Seeing
none
I
will
move
for
us
receiving
focus,
updates
any
discussion
at
sea.
A
J
Yes,
yes,
I'm
going
to
thank
you,
mr.
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
for
allowing
us
to
provide
this
update.
This
is,
in
fact,
the
10th
anniversary
of
when
the
City
Council,
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
took
a
pledge
to
reduce
domestic
violence
in
the
city
and
looking
back,
we've
made
a
lot
of
progress,
but
we
know
there's
a
lot
of
work
yet
to
do.
J
We've
had
some
homicides
domestic
homicides
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
this
year,
which
just
makes
us
redouble
our
efforts
so
and
Michelle.
Jacobson
is
gonna
present
here,
she's
our
chair
of
our
domestic
violence
team
and
we're
also
accompanied
by
Kirsten
Kim
and
Brandi
Bennett,
who
are
two
of
our
crime
victim
services.
J
Employees
who
just
do
a
fabulous
job
in
working
with
victims
and
witnesses
and
providing
them
with
support
in
helping
to
make
sure
that
that
they
know
where
to
go
that
they're
there
for
trial
and
providing
evidence
so
that
we
can
proceed
with
prosecutions.
Two
things
that
that
I
wanted
to
point
out
at
the
first
I
know.
Michelle
is
going
to
talk
a
little
more
about
this,
but
one
deals
with
what's
called
the
felony
enhancement
list.
So
back
a
number
of
years
ago,
in
2003,
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
through
a
federal
grant,
started
collecting
manually.
J
Putting
together
this
list,
which
we
do
now
called
the
felony
enhancement
list
and
with
domestic
violence
offenses,
if
there
are
so
many
misdemeanor
domestic
violence
of
the
next
one
qualifies
for
charging
as
a
felony.
But
there
was
no
way
for
the
police
to
know
that,
so
when
they
brought
people
into
jail,
they
maybe
tab
charged
with
misdemeanor.
J
And
if
the
person
then
pled
out
the
next
morning,
there
was
no
opportunity
to
enhance
it
to
a
felony.
So
we've
been
keeping
this
manual
list
with
a
paralegal
which
takes
up
a
lot
of
time,
and
it
was
maybe
it
was
a
well
five
six
years
ago,
at
a
budget
presentation,
actually
a
former
council
member
sandy
Coleman
right
asked
the
simple
question
of:
why
are
you
doing
it
manually?
Can
this
be
automated,
which
we
then
started
working
with
the
Minnesota
Bureau
of
Criminal
Apprehension?
J
They
told
us
just
wait,
we're
getting
a
new
system,
we
waited.
They
are
now
getting
a
new
system
and
we
have
now
advocated
for
them
to
incorporate
this
into
their
new
system,
and
so
that
soon
and
I
think
Michelle
may
have
more
detail
on
this.
But
soon
there
will
be
an
automated
process
so
that
police
will
have
this
statewide,
not
just
a
manual
list
here
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
for
Police
Department,
all
right
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Michelle.
D
All
right
so
I'm
we've
talked
about
the
Minneapolis
model.
That's
really
the
model
we
have
here
in
Minneapolis,
st.
Paul
has
their
blueprint.
We
call
it
the
Minneapolis
model,
what
the
Minneapolis
model
really
comes
down
to
is
a
specialized
team
of
prosecutors,
Victim,
Witness
and
other
staff
who
will
really
focus
on
evidence-based
prosecutions
that
do
not
rely
just
on
whether
a
victim
wants
to
see
a
case
prosecuted,
but
really,
if
there's
enough
evidence
to
go
forward
with
the
case
the,
but
the
real
strong
part
of
this
is
really
our
coordinated
community
response.
D
We
meet
regularly
with
our
advocates
probation,
police
and
the
courts,
and
we
really
try
and
work
as
group
to
address
domestic
violence
occurring
in
the
city
and
part
of
that
is
through
our
domestic
violence
court,
which
we
have
here
in
Hennepin,
County
and
Minneapolis.
I'm
gonna
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
our
new
and
ongoing
initiatives.
Our
focus
this
year
and
going
forward
will
be
on
more
community
outreach
and
engagement.
I'll
talk
more
about
the
enhancement
list,
some
work
on
orders
for
protection
that
we
are
working
on
and
that's
really
the
main
reason.
D
We
asked
Kirsten
and
Randy
to
be
here
today,
because
it
is
because
of
their
efforts
and
their
identification
of
the
problems
that
were
going
on,
that
we
started
working
on
that
and
I
really
felt
like
they
that
we
should
give
them
a
chance
to
be
recognized
in
this
public
location
for
some
of
the
work
that
they
helped
us
start
we'll
talk
about
the
grant.
That
is
just
anything
that
we've
had
for
working
on
gone
and
rival
cases
and
then
a
little
bit
more
about
our
domestic
violence
hotspots.
D
Well,
we
always
throw
up
our
supplies
here
about
our
conviction
rate,
because
that
is
one
way
to
easily
measure
the
impact
we
are
having
on
domestic
violence
cases
you'll
see
our
conviction
rate
has
remained
fairly
steady
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
That
speaks
to
the
dedication
of
the
team
of
prosecutors
that
I
work
with
with
the
police
officers
and
the
administration
in
the
police
department
who
have
helped
us,
develop
a
strong
policy
and
evidence
gathering
on
domestic
violence
cases
and
then
the
work
of
all
of
the
support
staff
who
work
with
our
team.
D
Everyone
from
our
legal
support
specialists
who
type
up
letters
for
us
and
send
out
subpoenas
our
file
room
staff
who
help
put
our
files
together
and
gather
documents,
our
paralegals
and
our
Victim
Witness
Assistance.
You
help
us
gather
all
the
evidence
and
talk
to
our
victims
and
witnesses,
and
that
is
the
reason
why
we've
been
able
to
maintain
such
a
high
conviction
rate.
D
More
important,
though,
really
to
me
than
the
conviction
rate
really
is
some
of
the
work
that
we've
done
and
engage
in
the
community
and
our
partners,
and
we've
talked
about
these
tactics
about
the
collaboration
you'll
see
on
the
screen.
Some
of
the
committee's
and
the
countywide
programs
that
we
work
with
our
office
has
is
considered
a
leader
in
the
area
of
domestic
violence
within
haven't
been
County
and
within
the
state
and
I'm
proud
to
say
that
I've
been
able
to
work
with
many
of
these
committees
and
others
in
my
office
to
improve
the
way.
D
The
whole
criminal
justice
system
is
handling
domestic
violence
cases.
We've
been
doing
a
lot
of
training
and
outreach
for
our
partners.
We
do
an
annual
advocacy
training.
This
year,
we
were
contacted
by
a
Hmong
American
partnership
and
did
a
day-long
training
in
them.
We
started
out
with
our
partners
from
911
about
this
actual
protocol
that
they're
using
for
taking
nine
one
calls.
We
had
a
police
officer
come
and
talk
about
their
work.
We
talked
about
what
we
do.
D
D
Our
next
step
really
is
to
engage
more
community
partners.
We
are
in
the
process
of
scheduling
right
now
with
the
cultural,
Wellness
Center,
some
community-based
meetings
and
talking
sessions,
where
we'll
be
engaging
both
community-based
partners
who
work
with
victims
of
domestic
violence,
not
just
domestic
violence
advocates,
but
people
in
the
medical
community
and
other
local
agencies
and
the
community
to
talk
with
them
about.
D
What's
going
well
with
domestic
violence,
what
other
services
do
you
need
and
how
can
our
city,
both
the
police
department,
the
City
Attorney's
Office
and
our
other
partners,
such
as
the
Health
Department,
do
more
to
improve
the
lives
of
people
who
are
experiencing
domestic
violence?
Those
meetings
are
still
in
the
process
of
being
scheduled,
but
we'll
have
some
focused
in
North,
Minneapolis
and
South
Minneapolis,
and
we
will
get
those
scheduled
before
the
end
of
the
year.
D
Some
of
the
other
work
we
want
to
do
is
you
more
outreach
and
education
in
our
new
immigrant
communities
and
in
some
of
the
other
underserved
populations
and
one
of
the
things
we
were
very
lucky
to
receive
that
started
on
October
1st.
Oh
sorry,
yeah
October
1st
of
this
year
is
a
OGP
grant
designed
to
address
prosecutorial
services
to
victims.
D
That's
a
two
year
grant
and
you
should
be
seeing
that
come
across
the
City
Council
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
for
the
formal
acceptance,
but
what
that
grant
will
do
will
fund
an
additional
Victim
Witness
staff
to
work
with
our
victims.
In
our
cases,
the
main
focus
of
that
grant,
though,
will
be
not
just
an
increasing
victim
support,
but
on
community
education
and
outreach,
and
we're
already
talking
to
some
of
the
local
hospitals,
the
KU
clinic
other
local
programs
to
really
make
information
available
to
victims.
D
The
other
thing
that
we
have
in
the
works
with
that
new
grant
is
co-locating
some
of
our
Victim
Witness
staff,
at
least
once
a
week
in
some
of
the
communities,
so
that
people
don't
have
to
come
downtown
to
ask
for
assistance
with
paperwork
and
other
things.
The
first
first
location
that
we're
looking
at
is
the
Safety
Center
at
Chicago
and
Lake.
D
Susan
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
felony
enhancement
list
and
I
can
tell
you.
I
am
very
excited
about
working
with
the
BCA
on
this
change
for
six
years,
while
I
worked
in
the
police
department.
I
was
the
primary
person
who
put
this
list
together
every
week,
and
it
is
a
very
manual
process
back
in
2003
when
we
started
it,
we
had
87
defendants
listed
on
it,
who
he
knew,
who
would
be
charged
with
felonies
because
of
prior
convictions
and,
as
Susan
said,
there
wasn't
a
really
easy
way
for
police
to
identify
that
previously.
D
D
And
so
like,
as
Susan
said,
we've
been
working
with
the
Public
Safety
staff
and
the
BCA
as
they
implement
this
new
criminal
history.
Application
I
am
lucky
enough
that
I'm
one
of
the
testers
for
the
new
application,
so
I
have
been
able
to
go
into
the
system
or
and
the
key
thing
that
the
BCA
and
the
courts
did
for
us.
Is
they
added
an
identifier
to
the
convictions
that
qualify
for
Pryor
as
in
Hanceville
convictions?
D
And
so
now
you
can
run
a
query
in
the
system
and
say
I
want
to
see
all
of
the
qualified
domestic
violence
related
offense
convictions
for
a
particular
person
and
you'll
just
see
that
information.
If
any
of
you
have
ever
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
old
criminal
history
application
I'm
liking
it
to
reading
hieroglyphics,
it
is
very
complicated
and
the
information
is
not
stored
in
a
very
I
would
say
it's
in
a
nonsensical
manner.
D
The
way
the
information
was
stored
with
the
new
system
that
they're
developing,
which
will
be
launched
in
March,
it
actually
makes
sense.
You
can
select
and
filter
certain
information
that
you
want
to
receive
and
I
think
will
actually
be
a
useful
tool
for
people
going
forward
and
will
allow
this
idea
of
the
felony
enhancement
list
to
include
convictions
from
all
over
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
be
used
by
police
officers
and
prosecutors
throughout
the
state.
D
Of
course,
it
will
be
enhancements
as
that
program
continues
to
grow,
but
I'm
very
excited
about
this
change
and
I
can
check
off
one
of
the
items
off
of
my
career
bucket
list
that
I
wanted
to
see
achieved
before
I
retire.
Now,
luckily,
I
have
a
few
more
years,
but
if
I
keep
checking
these
things
off
my
list,
maybe
I
can
retire
a
little
bit
earlier,
but
we're
very
excited
about
this
council.
K
D
Council
Chairman
and
councilor
council
cherub
Johnson.
Yes,
there
are
different.
Queries
are
related
to
DWI
convictions,
gun
convictions,
predatory
offender
and
I.
Think
as
the
as
those
features
are
developed,
I
think
there
will
be
more
information
going
forward
that
will
be
very
beneficial
to
police
officers
and
prosecutors.
Thank
you.
So
much.
D
The
next
item-
I
wanna
talk
about,
is
some
work
that
we've
been
doing
with
regards
to
orders
for
protection.
I.
Think
most
of
you
are
probably
familiar
with
orders
for
protection,
but
those
are
an
order
that
a
victim
of
domestic
violence
can
seek
to
prohibit
her
abuse
or
his
abuser
from
having
any
contact
with
them,
their
home
or
other
locations.
They
are
a
very
useful
tool
for
victims
of
domestic
violence.
D
But
it
was
actually
quite
a
complicated
process,
and
so
they
took
it
took
a
lot
of
work
and
effort
for
them
to
get
that
coordinated,
because
I
think
some
people
think
the
criminal
justice
system
all
talks
very
well
to
each
other,
but
unfortunately
there
are
lots
of
gaps
in
our
knowledge
and
information
sharing.
The
other
thing
that
our
staff
identified
was
some
issues
that
service
information
related
to
these
orders
were
not
getting
entered
in
a
timely
manner.
Some
of
those
were
very
simple
fixes.
D
It
was
someone
didn't
know
something,
and
so
they
were
passing
it
on.
But
some
of
the
big
issues
we
identified
is
that
the
order
for
protection
short-form,
which
police
officers
can
use
if
someone
has
not
been
served
with
an
order
for
protection,
is
a
very
manual
process.
It's
still
a
three-part
form
that
officers
have
to
write
on.
It
then
has
to
get
mailed
or
sent
via
to
the
courts
for
entering
and
updating,
and
so
what
we
are
really
focusing
on
is
increasing
the
speed
at
which
this
occurs.
D
So
one
of
the
first
things
we're
planning
is
some
training
for
police
departments
and
I
should
point
out
that
this
workgroup
consists
of
members
from
the
County
Attorney's
office,
the
court
staff,
judges
and
the
sheriff's
office,
and
the
police
department
here
in
Minneapolis.
So
we'll
be
doing
some
training
we're
creating
an
electronic
version
of
the
short
form
notification.
So
officers
can
fill
it
out
on
their
squad,
computers,
and
you
can
actually
read
the
document
because,
when
it's
handwritten
sometimes
it's
very
difficult
to
read
the
handwriting.
D
We're
also
create
creating
an
email
system
where
the
information
can
be
shared
and
then
the
final
long-term.
A
solution
which
is
another
item.
I've
added
to
my
bucket
list.
I
guess:
I,
don't
get
to
retire
as
quickly
as
I
wanted
is
to
work
with
the
BCA
to
create
an
electronic
way
to
share
that
information
similar
to
what
they've
done
on
DWI
cases,
the
forms
that
officers
had
to
pull
out
before
we're
done
in
triplicate,
and
they
were
very
hard
to
read.
D
Now
they
can
be
done
electronically
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
done
with
the
ofp
short
forms
as
well,
and
then
those
forms
can
be
transmitted
automatically
and
the
service
information
could
be
updated.
I
anticipate
that
will
be
a
long
process,
so
you'll
be
hearing
me
giving
these
updates,
probably
for
quite
some
time
now.
D
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
work
on
the
viola
grant
and,
as
you
remember,
that
was
it
added
investigators
from
the
police
department
investigating
the
misdemeanor
got
on
arrival
cases
where
a
suspect
flees,
the
scene
that
work
is
done
in
combination
with
the
domestic
abuse
service
center.
You'll
see
from
this
chart
that
in
2013
only
25
cases
were
charged
when
we
got
that
additional
investigator
the
number
of
pieces
charged
increased
by
over
400%
and
it
remains
around
100
810
cases
every
year.
D
The
other
thing
that
you'll
see
with
the
addition
of
this
additional
resource
at
the
domestic
abuse
service
center
you'll
see
our
time
from
case
review
to
case
charging
has
decreased
significantly
and
continues
to
go
on.
That
is
very
important,
important
because
I
think,
as
I
said
to
this
committee
before
domestic
violence
cases,
don't
age
very
well,
they're
more,
like
Boone's
Farm
than
fine
wine,
I
like
to
say
faster.
D
We
can
get
a
case
through
the
system,
the
better
off
we
are
because
what
it
does
is
it
shows
that
Vic
shows
victims
that
we
are
interested
in
what's
going
on
with
them,
and
this
is
a
high
priority
for
us
and
so
the
faster
we
can
get
the
case
to
the
system.
The
higher
our
success
rate
is,
and
the
likelihood
that
there
will
not
be
further
violence
is
lessened
as
well
and
also,
finally,
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
hotspots
project.
D
That
is
where
we
do
the
fall
look
call
follow-ups
on
the
domestic
violence
related
cases
where
there
is
no
police
report
me,
because
the
allegations
do
not
rise
to
the
level
of
a
crime
being
committed
as
you'll
see.
These
are
hid
north
and
south
Minneapolis,
the
North
Minneapolis
hot
spots,
when
I
was
looking
at
some
of
the
information
that
came
out
last
weekend
about
some
of
the
shootings
in
Minneapolis.
D
A
lot
of
those
shootings
were
in
these
hot
spot
locations,
the
same
with
south
Minneapolis
and
so
as
part
of
that
project,
and
we
pair
up
officer
from
the
precinct,
along
with
a
family
therapist
from
the
domestic
abuse
project.
They
conduct
a
follow-up
visit
on
they
offer
services,
provide
resource
and
collect
data
about
the
family
and
home,
in
the
hopes
that
we
can
improve
our
services
and
resources.
This
is
not
a
prosecution
base.
It's
a
prosecution
based
project,
but
the
goal
is
not
increased
prosecution.
D
What
the
goal
of
this
project
is
to
increase
and
increase
community
engagement
with
victims
with
the
Police
Department
offenders
as
well.
We
want
this
is
a
family
based
project,
not
a
victim
based
project,
we're
really
hoping
to
improve
the
life
of
the
whole
family.
So
it's
about
community
engagement
with
the
police
and
also
with
service
providers.
It's
about
increasing
awareness
and
it's
about
offering
services,
and
so,
since
we've
been
working
on
this
project,
we've
made
eighteen
hundred
and
fifty-six
different
hot
spots
visits.
We've
visited
over
thirteen
hundred
and
fifty-eight
different
addresses.
D
D
What
they're
doing
is
they're
getting
the
information
they're
very
grateful
as
the
quotes
indicate
for
having
someone
come
back
and
check
to
see
to
follow
up
with
them,
but
what
we're
finding
is
3
6,
9
months
later,
the
therapist
will
get
a
call
from
a
woman
and
say
hey.
You
came
to
my
house
six
months
ago.
You
gave
me
a
card.
I
wasn't
ready
to
talk
to
you,
then
about
going
into
supportive
services
from
so
for
my
children,
but
I
am
now,
and
so
that
has
been.
D
The
real
success
of
this
project
is
the
ongoing
contact
that
we
have
had
from
the
victims
feel
like
they
have
a
resource
to
go
to
and
I
think
there's
something
very
important
about
them
coming
into
their
homes
and
coming
to
them
as
opposed
to
making
the
victim
go
somewhere
else
for
services.
So
we
do
plan
to
continue
that
project.
Next
year
we
will
be
meeting
with
our
community
partners
to
talk
about
next
steps
and
further
needs,
and
then
we
are
still
exploring
the
idea
of
having
a
family
navigator
who
could
work
with
the
police.
D
I'm
gonna
provide
more
ongoing
current
support
and
what's
ahead
for
our
team
working
with
the
BCA
on
the
enhancement
list,
working
with
the
courts
than
the
BCA
to
improve
information
about
service
of
Olaf,
Pease,
more
community
outreach
and
engagement,
and
really
developing
the
next
phases
of
the
Minneapolis
model.
From
the
information
we
learn
at
our
community
meetings
and
the
community
engagement,
any
questions.
A
B
You
mr.
chair
I
have
a
couple
questions,
one
in
one
of
your
slides,
at
least
on
paper.
It
might
have
been
changed.
It
says
that
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
includes
funding
for
this
project
in
2018,
but
not
to
my
knowledge.
J
Mr.
chair
and
councilmember
Palmisano,
there
is
money
in
the
budget
for
to
continue
for
another
year.
This
domestic
violence,
violent
crime
hotspots
outreach
where
some
of
the
money
goes
to
Minneapolis,
Police
Department
for
these
follow-up
visits
and
then
with
a
family
therapist
to
go
out
the
police
inspectors
in
the
4th
precinct
and
5th
precinct
and
third
Precinct
all
expressed
strong
support
for
the
continuing
it
for
another
year.
Ok,.
B
That's
that's
great
to
know,
because
I
understand
that
the
amount
the
one-time
money
from
last
year
did
not
make
it
into
this
year's
budget,
but
I
I
think
I
might
be
a
little
bit
confused,
then
as
to
where
that
money
is
coming
from
or
what
department
is
being
allocated
to.
So
thank
you.
I'll
follow.
B
D
Chair
councilmember
Palmisano
and
the
county
review
team
has
been
I'm
in
existence
since
I
believe
the
early
2000s.
It's
a
group,
that's
multidisciplinary,
and
what
they
do
is
they
look
at
domestic
violence
related
homicides
that
have
occurred
in
Hennepin
County
after
the
fact
I'm
after
any
criminal
prosecution
is
done
after
any
appeals
are
done
and
really
what
they
do
is
look
at
the
case
from
the
time
the
offender
and
the
victim
were
young
and
look
at
their
families
of
origin.
You
look
at
any
contacts.
D
They've
had
throughout
the
criminal
justice
system,
the
advocacy
system
in
the
schools
any
place.
They
can
get
information,
hospitals,
clinics,
psych,
psychiatric
records
and
really
look
and
see.
Were
there
any
missed
opportunities
in
the
history
of
this?
These
people
that
we
could
have
intervened
differently.
It's
not
about
placing
blame
it's
about
using
a
horrible
situation
to
improve
the
way
we
look
at
the
system.
There
have
been
many
recommendations
of
that
team
that
are
adopted
by
both
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
the
county
in
general.
I'll.
Give
you
just
a
couple
brief
examples.
D
The
domestic
assault
strangulation
law,
which
went
into
effect
back
in
2009,
actually
was
a
recommendation
out
of
that
team.
What
they
saw
was
that
many,
the
homicides
that
it
occurred
had
had
incidents
where
strangulation
had
occurred
and
that,
prior
to
the
felony
strangulation
law
going
into
place,
a
strangulation
case
could
only
be
charged
as
a
misdemeanor.
Now,
obviously,
they
had
looked
at
some
of
the
data
about
lethality
factors
and
strangulation
was
a
high
fatality
factor.
D
So
members
of
that
team,
including
representatives
from
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
testified
before
the
legislature
in
support
of
that
new
felony
strangulation
law
and
they
implemented
that
law
and
it's
been
a
very
effective
tool
since
then,
in
keeping
victims
safe.
Another
more
local
example
is
when
I
was
on
the
team.
There
was
a
case
where
the
person
had
an
order
for
protection,
but
the
officers
did
not
look
that
up
and
it
was
not
included
in
the
report.
The
original
case
came
in
as
a
felony
level,
assault
that
was
not
supported
by
the
evidence.
D
D
But
we
do
have
enough
to
prove
a
violation
of
the
order
for
protection,
and
so
those
are
two
very
small
examples
or
maybe
big
examples.
There
are
many
many
more
and
if
anyone
is
interested,
the
fatality
review
team
does
have
a
website
called
a
matter
of
life
and
death.
Every
year
they
publish
a
report
about
the
cases
they
reviewed
and
the
recommendations
that
come
from
that
those
reviews.
We
always
look
at
them
to
see
if
there's
anything
we
could
implement
here
in
Minneapolis,
but
it's
a
useful
website
for
it.
Who's
interested
cause.
D
B
C
You
mr.
mr.
chair
I
appreciate
that
question
from
councilmember
Palmisano,
because
I
know
part
of
what
we're
looking
at,
especially
from
with
our
partners.
A
domestic
abuse
project
recently
is
going
back
in
history
is
really
predictive
so
much
especially
for
the
children
who
are
involved
in
a
domestic
abuse
situation
when
they're
kids.
What
can
happen
to
them
is
that
can
change
their
trajectory
of
life
when
they
get
to
be
at
adults,
so
I
think
building
that
into
the
processes
is
really
helpful.
To
help
understand
how
that
affects.
C
A
kid
is
really
tragic
and
I'm,
particularly
interested
in
learning
more
about
the
fatality.
Obviously,
the
two
homicides
that
we
had
domestic
related
both
happen
to
be
in
the
11th,
Ward
and
I'm,
guessing
these
spots
that
they
happened
at
we're,
not
necessarily
predictive.
It
wouldn't
have
been
on
our
traditional
hot
spots
that
we
would
be
looking
at
in
a
map
and
I
think
it
also
reflects
part
of
our
concern
here,
because
we
can
only
deal
with
what's
in
Minneapolis
in
front
of
us.
C
We
also
have
to
look
at
mobility
and
in
working
with
the
county,
is
really
helpful,
because
I
can
think
of
both
of
these
cases
they
weren't
longtime
residents
of
the
neighborhood's.
They
came
from
other
cities
from
within
Hennepin
County
in
these
particular
cases,
but
so
having
crossed
jurisdictions
is
really
important.
This
especially
to
the
enhancement
laws
that
we
can
make
sure
we're
not
watching
just
the
people
we
know
about
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
because
those
those
borders
are
very
transparent.
C
D
Chair
councilmember,
Quincy
and
I
think
that
really
is
the
direction
our
office
is
going
in.
In
addition
to
my
domestic
violence
work,
the
other
area
I
work
in
is
a
lot
of
our
IT
related
projects
and
I
serve
on
a
committee
called
the
Hennepin
justice
integration
partners.
It's
interesting.
You
say
that
about
sharing
information
with
our
partners
in
the
suburbs
and
throughout
the
state,
because
that
is
one
of
the
big
projects.
D
I
really
believe
that
that
will
be
a
nationwide
model
and
that
we
that
we
should
be
promoting
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
with
information
sharing
some
of
the
suburban
jurisdictions
and
some
of
other
jurisdictions
throughout
the
state
actually
already
receive
a
copy
of
our
enhancement
list,
because
they
are
familiar
with
the
work
that
we've
put
in
and
they
aren't
familiar
that
our
offenders
do
not
just
live
in
Minneapolis.
They
may
go
to
Brooklyn
Park,
they
may
go
to
st.
cloud
Rochester
and
those
are
some
of
the
other
places.
We
share
the
enhancement
list.
D
D
The
whole
idea
of
training
the
trainer,
because
you
can
reaching
out
to
one
victim
is
great,
but
if
you
can
reach
out
to
a
nurse
who
sees
20
victims
of
domestic
violence
in
a
week
that
has
a
greater
impact
and
sometimes
having
that
support
from
a
helper
or
supportive
person
is
more
important
than
having
it
themselves.
Thank.
D
C
That
work
really
confined
to
the
order
for
protection
for
that
domestic
partnership,
or
does
it
transfer
when
that
partnership,
dissolves
and
suddenly
this
guy
is
with
a
different
partner?
How
does
that
are
we?
Are
we
tracking
the
actual
person
that
it's
directed
towards,
or
is
it
just
to
the
relationship
that
caused
that
incident?
Mr.
D
Chair
councilmember
Quincey,
the
order
for
protection
is
specific
to
one
particular
victim.
However,
we
do
keep
information
on
prior
orders
protection,
so
we,
it
is
a
public
record
that
we
do
look
at
so
oftentimes.
Many
of
these
abusers
or
offenders
will
move
from
one
victim
to
the
next
victim,
and
that
is
information
that
we
do
consider
when
we're
looking
at
the
cases
in
deciding
what
we're
gonna
do
and
making
the
orders
for
protection
more
visible
and
will
help
future
victims
or
future
girlfriends
look
at
their
partners
differently
as
well.
