Mineapolis Public Safety & Emergency Management Committee Meeting
A
Good
afternoon
everyone,
my
name,
is
Alondra
Cano
and
I'm
panning
for
of
the
Public
Safety
Committee
today
is
Thursday
September
27th,
and
this
is
a
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
our
committee.
We
have
today
with
us
councilmembers
Jeremiah,
Ellison,
councilmember,
Steve,
Fletcher
and
councilmember
Philippe
Cunningham,
and
this
is
a
quorum
of
our
committee,
so
we
are
able
to
conduct
business
today
we
have
a
very
full
agenda.
A
Tackling
one
of
the
most
important
issues
in
our
city,
which
has
you
know,
has
been
coined
as
at
the
gun,
violence
in
in
our
community,
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
talking
to
many
folks
about
this
today.
To
begin
with,
however,
we
will
add
an
item
to
the
agenda,
which
is
the
public
comment
period,
and
so
what
we'll
do
is
just
take
a
vote
to
add
that
to
the
agenda
right
now,
so
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
and
that
item
moves
forward.
A
So
what
we'll
do
is
folks
who
are
here
to
address
the
Public
Safety
Committee
on
a
number
of
issues
can
feel
free
to
take
a
spot
here.
We'll
have
the
first
speaker
come
up
to
the
microphone
and
then
just
line
up,
naturally
behind
that
person,
one
or
two
people
behind
them
and
after
the
first
person
is
done,
we'll
give
them
two
to
three
minutes
to
address
the
council.
A
Then
they
can
go
over
to
the
table
over
there,
where
there's
some
a
sign-in
sheet
and
we'd
love
to
have
you
to
sign
in
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
public
record
of
the
conversation
today
and
can
relay
that
back
to
our
residents
and
constituents.
So
whoever
would
like
to
go
first,
please
go
ahead
and
come
up
to
the
microphone.
A
A
C
C
C
So
today,
I
made
an
emergency
commitment
to
come
here
and
share
this
issue
with
you,
guys
and
I
want
to
build
to
you
concerned
members
and
the
mayor
to
help
us
and
tell
us
what
we
can
do
to
help
you
find
a
solution
so
that
we
don't
have
to
lose
more
young
man
to
gun,
violence
and
I
hope,
the
leadership
of
Monroe
County
and
other
council
members
who
are
living.
What
zyxin,
the
area
that
this
violence
is
happening
well
come
and
talk
to
the
community
and
talk
to
those
grieving
parents.
C
D
My
name
is
Khalid
Mohammed
I
live
in
Ward
6
and
within
the
past
two
or
three
weeks,
five
within
five
miles
radius
of
my
house.
We
have
lost
two
young
men
to
gun
violence,
and,
on
top
of
that,
our
indigenous
community
has
been
also
suffering
in
my
area.
I
live
almost
half
a
block
away
from
where
the
Native
Americans
community
right
now
are
having
a
camp
outside
my
neighborhood.
This
has
been
a
problem
for
a
while.
It
has
been
ignored.
Like
Robles
said
this
month
alone.
D
I
guess
we
lost
more
than
three
kids
to
gun
violence,
I'm
a
member
growing
up
in
the
same
neighborhood
that
I
live
right
now
and
a
lot
of
those
people
are
the
people.
I
grew
up
with
people
in
middle
school
high
school,
but
it's
just
unfortunate
that
they
didn't
make
it
because
of
the
circumstances.
My
community
live
in
lack
of
unemployment.
D
So
I
urge
you
to
look
beyond
politics
to
really
pay
attention,
because
these
problems
have
been
said
more
and
more
I
mean
I,
can't
just
talk
about
it
all
day
today
and
bore
you
with
it,
but
but
it's
just
the
fact
of
it.
So,
thank
you
so
much
I
look
forward
to
having
a
conversation
with
you
all
and
thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
D
E
My
name
is
Mike
Johnson
I
flipped.
Through
this
thing,
real,
quick
and
not
and
I-
just
like
to
say
that
there's
three
firearms
in
here
right
now
and
I
am
by
no
means
worried
about
gun
violence
happening
gun.
Violence
is
kind
of
a
term
I
dislike
its
people.
Violence
people
have
to
commit
the
violence,
and
I
would
bet
that
the
vast
majority
of
violence
occurring
is
occurring.
Where
there's
no
dads
people
need
dads.
Kids
deserve
dads
and
I
know.
E
A
Thank
you
very
comment,
just
a
reminder
to
the
speakers
to
please
sign
in
over
there
at
their
registration
table
to
make
sure
we
have
a
track
record
of
the
folks
sharing
words
with
us
today.
Any
more
public
comments.
Okay.
So
with
that,
we
shall
move
on
to
the
next
portion
of
the
agenda,
which
is
the
consent
items.
So
today
we
have
four
consent
items
and
item
number.
One
is
a
cooperative
agreement
between
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
and
other
law
enforcement
agencies
for
law
enforcement
services
for
the
2019
final
four
events.
A
Item
number
2
is
a
Hennepin
County
multi-jurisdictional
Hazard
Mitigation
plan.
I.
Remember
three:
is
the
grant
from
the
state
of
Minnesota
the
4th
Judicial
District
Court
for
Police
Lisan
and
DWI
defendant
monitoring
services.
I.
Remember
four:
is
the
grant
from
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Public
Safety
in
the
Office
of
Traffic
Safety
for
traffic
enforcement?
Do
we
have
any
questions
on
those
items?
A
Seeing
none
I
will
move
to
receive
and
and
file
and
approve
these
consent
items
all
those
in
favor.
Please
say:
aye
aye
those
items
were
forward,
and
so
now
we
begin
the
discussion.
Part
of
our
of
our
agenda
today
and
item
number
5
is
the
gun,
violence,
presentation
prevention
in
Minneapolis.
So
if
we
can,
please
have
the
staff
who
will
kick
us
off
today.
A
F
Cano
committee
members,
thank
you
for
allowing
myself
and
my
team
members
give
a
kind
of
an
overview
of
what
we
see
as
some
of
the
issues
pertaining
to
violence
and
community
safety
in
our
in
our
city
before
I
start,
though,
I
would
be
doing
a
disservice
to
the
young
boys
and
men's
whose
lives
have
been
been
lost
to
oftentimes
our
young
boys
and
men
who
have
been
lost
to
violence.
Their
names
are
relegated
to
the
back
sections
of
our
newspapers
or
they
are
considered
disposable
simply
based
upon
the
zip
code.
They
reside
from
well
Minneapolis.
F
Police
Department
does
a
very
good
job
of
bringing
those
folks
who
are
responsible
into
apprehension.
We
need
to
do
better
in
terms
of
preventing
these
doing
all
that
we
can
to
prevent
these
from
occurring
in
the
first
place.
I
will
tell
you
that
there
can
be
no
success
in
terms
of
saving
the
lives
by
Minneapolis
Police,
Department
alone.
Community
safety
is
truly
represented
by
many
of
our
partners
and
allies
who
are
in
this
room
today,
and
so
I
have
to
thank
all
of
them
for
the
work
that
they
continue
to
do.
F
We
can
see
that
there
were
14
guns,
recovered
are
in
our
past
week,
and
the
precincts
are
broken
down
there
in
terms
of
where
the
guns
recovered
from
4th
precinct.
This
past
week
we
had
seven
guns
recovered
and
you
can
see
four
guns
recovered
in
our
first
precinct
and
guns
recovered.
Also
in
our
second
and
third
precinct
year-to-date,
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
has
recovered
481
guns.
That
is
a
decrease
from
actually
last
year
in
2017,
which,
at
that
st.
F
the
same
time
last
year
had
well
over
700
guns
recovered
and,
as
you
look
at
the
percent
of
guns
recovered
by
precinct
compared
to
2017,
we
see
an
increase
in
guns
recovered
from
our
downtown
or
a
first
precinct.
That
also
includes
Cedar
Riverside
area,
but
we
have
seen
decreases
in
guns
recovered
in
the
other
remaining
precincts
of
our
city.
F
The
next
slide,
when
we
talk
about
gunshot,
wound
victims
again,
it
is
very
important
that
we
try
to
do
the
best
that
we
can
to
keep
all
lives
present
and
that
we
don't
lose
any
lives.
But
there
is
a
significant
toll
and
impact
when
people
are
shot
and
wounded
by
guns.
It's
a
very
violent
and
it
causes
great
amount
of
injury
in
trauma
to
the
wounded,
and
so
I
don't
want
that
to
get
overlooked
here.
F
While
we
tend
to
focus
on
our
homicides,
those
individuals
in
our
communities
that
survive
gotten
shot
injuries,
that's
lifelong
and
it's
very
impacting
to
them
their
families
in
our
community
year-to-date.
Our
city
has
seen
185
victims
of
gunshot
violence,
that
is
a
9%
decrease
compared
to
last
year,
and
that
is
a
difference
of
18
community
members
and
and
so
I
there
again.
F
A
G
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
chief
first
I,
just
want
to
start
off
with
saying
thank
you
for
anchoring
us
first
and
the
truth
that
death
is
a
reality
that
we
are
facing.
In
this
conversation,
the
numbers
and
the
data
just
make
it
very
removed
from
the
humanity
and
the
impact,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
bringing
that
into
the
space.
I
wanted
to
ask
you
from
your
perspective.
Why
has
the
amount
of
guns
that
were
collected
dropped
so
significantly
chair.
F
Econo
customer
cunningham,
that's
a
good,
that's
a
good
question!
I!
Don't
have
a
solid
answer
on
that.
While
we
have
certainly
seen
a
decrease
in
the
amount
of
homicides
year-to-date,
we
are
still
seeing
a
significant
number
of
folks
out
there
in
our
communities
who
are
being
wounded
by
by
these
guns.
F
I
was
just
talking
with
a
community
member
of
the
other
day
about
restarting
our
gun,
buyback
that
we've
done
before
and
use
that
to
art,
and
that
is
helped
across
this
city
and
across
we
actually,
but
in
terms
of
specifically
of
the
reduction
of
the
number
of
guns,
we're
seeing
I,
don't
have
a
solid
answer
for
you.
Counselor
I'm
run
that.
H
Thank
You
Jake,
oh
no
chief
I,
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
understand
what
a
gunshot
wound
is
for
purposes
of
this
data,
so
we've
had
in
the
in
the
first
precinct.
Over
the
summer,
we've
had
some
very,
very
serious
gunshot
wounds,
including
fatal
gunshot
wounds,
and
then
we've
had
I
saw
one
incident
reported
as
a
as
a
gunshot
wound
that
was,
somebody
fired
at
the
pavement
and
a
little
bit
of
concrete
bounced
up
with
their
legs
and
caused
minor
scrapes
and
so
I'm
wondering.
Are
we
lumping
all
those
things
together?
Is
this
it?
H
F
Chair
Cano
to
come
over
Fletcher,
it's
a
great
question
years
ago,
we
used
to
categorize.
That
number
could
be
anything
from
being
shot
at.
You,
weren't
actually
receiving
an
injury
from
the
the
gunshot,
but
we
were
categorizing
at
that.
We
are
now
categorizing,
specifically
any
individual
who
has
received
any
sort
of
injury
could
be
a
grazing
wound
to
actually
a
penetrating
wound
from
a
gunshot,
if
that
is
what
our
officers
are
recording.
F
F
So
continuing
on
our
percent
of
gunshot
wound
and
victims
by
the
precincts
again,
we
have
seen
increases
in
our
third
Precinct
and
our
fifth
precincts
here
today.
You
will
see
that
reflective
in
this
pie
chart
as
well.
The
fourth
Precinct
receives
a
little
more
than
half
of
our
gunshot
wound
community
of
were
wounded
by
gunshots.
They
received
a
little
bit
more
than
half
followed
by
our
third
Precinct
and
then
first
precinct
and
then
a
fifth
Precinct,
and
then
third
or
second
excuse
me.
We.
G
G
G
F
No
customer
cunningham,
yes,
we
actually
do
track
that
and
well
I
don't
know
all
of
you
know
sergeant.
Eggy
is
here,
but
also
w
chief
force.
Our
teams
are
able
to
track
even
down
to
the
where
the
weapon
was
used
in
how
many
different
occurrences
of
crime
that
that
particular
gun
was
used,
and
so
we
actually
do
a
very
good
job
in
terms
of
tracking
that
and
yes,
we
have
that
data
great.
G
And
so
then,
in
terms
of
we,
we
haven't
seen
necessarily
like
the
gunshots
in
general,
but
do
you
have
like
a
breakdown
of
where
folks
are
moving
from
or
moving
around
in
the
city?
Do
you
have
like
an
idea
of
top
of
your
head
because
I'm
just
thinking
you
know
if,
if
a
lot
of
folks
you
know,
are
living
in
a
different
precinct
and
causing
harm
in
another
like?
How
are
we
just
navigating
that
I
guess
it
looks
like
yeah.
F
C
G
F
Cano
customer
cunningham
I
don't
have
that,
particularly
in
terms
of
nationally
I.
Don't
look
over
to
see
if
dc4
is,
but
I
will
tell
you
in
terms
of
our
population
in
terms
of
african-americans
that
comprise
not
only
in
terms
of
our
population
in
the
city,
but
in
the
state
is
overwhelmingly
disproportionate.
I
mean
it
is
it's
a
public
health
crises,
quite
frankly,.
F
As
we
look
at
those
community
members
and
as
we
saw
from
that
slide-
typically
young
african-american
or
young
black
and
brown
boys
and
men
who
are
wounded
by
gun
shots
and
we'll
break
it
down
to
the
13
wards
in
our
city,
we
can
see
that
fifth
Ward,
followed
by
the
fourth
ward,
encompasses
at
least
a
little
over
half
of
all
of
our
gunshot
wound.
Victims
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
F
59
percent
of
all
gunshot
wound
victims
since
2016
have
occurred
in
our
fourth
Precinct
and
that's
six
out
of
ten
individuals
have
been
wounded
by
gunshot.
Fire
have
occurred
in
our
and
our
fourth
Precinct
20%,
which
is
also
very
significant,
have
occurred
in
the
third
Precinct
and
then,
of
course,
followed
by
the
first
Precinct
and
fifth
Precinct.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
on
the
previous
slide.
Er.
It's
actually
not
represented
this
way,
but
something
that
I
feel
like
I've.
Seen
more
of
in
the
daily
notification
reports
is
to
see
more
women,
victims
of
gun,
violence
and
I'm
curious.
If
you
have
seen
that
as
a
trend
of
the
proportion
of
shooting
victims
that
are
that
are
women
or
young
women,
is
that
real,
or
was
that
just
my
perception
in
reading
these
kind
of
day
after
day.
F
Chair
Cano,
council,
member
Palmisano
and
I'm
also
going
to
let
WG
fours
or
Deputy
Chief
and
I'd
speak
to
this,
but
over
the
last
several
years
that
has
been
a
very
concerning
trend
that
we
have
seen
more
women
being
either
the
victims
of
gunshot,
wound,
violence
or
also
being
associated
with
those
perpetrating
the
gun,
violence
and
yeah.
That
is
very
troubling
and
I
want
to
speak
to
that
as
well.
Thank.
I
You
chief
chair
Cano,
councilmember,
paula,
zahn,
Oh,
there's
the
chief
said
that
is
an
area
of
concern.
Data
and
figures
generally
show
that
women
are
victims
of
gun.
Violence
is
generally
in
in
the
hands
of
a
domestic
perpetrator.
We
have
seen
that
through
through
the
years
and
most
notably
in
the
last
a
couple
years
we've
seen
there
was
an
increase
of
domestic
violence
in
that
regard.
Those
numbers
are
going
down
this
year,
however,
having
written
in
all
the
data
really
shooting
notifications
and
I
read
every
every
report
that
comes
through
in
this
regard.
I
There
have
been
a
significant
number
of
women
who've
been
injured
by
gunfire
this
year.
That
seemed
to
be
maybe
not
necessarily
the
intended
target,
but
when
we
have
incidents
where
there's
a
lot
of
bullets
being
fired
at
a
group,
they
are
being
they're
being
struck
as
well,
which
which
goes
to
say
how
how
dangerous
these
situations
are
when
we
have
people
firing
guns
and
in
these
public
places.
Thank.
I
F
So,
just
to
to
to
recap
again,
the
you
know
we're
seeing
six
out
of
ten
of
our
gunshot
wound.
Community
members
who
are
stricken
by
gun,
shot,
gun
violence
residing
or
having
that
occurred
in
the
fourth
Precinct
with.
What's
also
in
terms
of
geographically.
What
is
interesting
to
note
that
there
are
about
seven
and
a
half
blocks
within
our
city
of
Minneapolis
or
C.
F
So
that
encompasses
all
of
those
things,
and
you
can
see
from
the
map
where
there
is
a
shift
from
our
northern
part
of
our
city
to
also
our
southern
part
of
our
city
and
again,
this
is
over
the
past
25
years
and
what's
what's
also
I,
think
important
about
that
map.
Is
it
we
look
at
the
past
25
years
in
and
I
certainly
know
as
Chief
of
Police?
That
again,
when
we
talk
about
community
safety,
it's
going
to
require
efforts
more
than
just
the
police
department,
and
we
look
at
these
areas
of
our
city.
F
F
You
can
see
here
that
from
2014
there
was
a
dip
in
about
946
calls
to
currently
or
2017.
We
had
nine
1950.
Some
of
that
again
can
increase
in
terms
of
the
the
number
of
shots
are
being
fired,
but
we
also
over
the
past
couple
of
years.
We
expanded
our
shot,
smarter
coverage
so
now
I
think
there's
also
more
community
members
who
are
now
being
able
to
call
and
we're
being
able
to
track
that
as
well.
But
we
still
obviously
want
to
make
sure
that
less
people
are
out
there
using
guns
to
harm
communities.
F
So
I
know
that
that
was
kind
of
a
snap
snap
shot
and
a
summary
of
kind
of
what
we're
seeing
from
the
police,
department
and
I
know.
There
are
other
of
our
partners
here
who
can
kind
of
give
more
context
to
it,
but
again
any
any
success
that
we
have
in
reducing
gunshot,
wound,
violence
and
and
whether
we're
successful
in
apprehending
those
and
holding
them
accountable
for
committing
harm
in
our
communities.
We
really
have
to
thank
our
partners
and
allies
that
we're
continuing
to
work
with
it.
So
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
A
I'll
put
myself
in
queue
up,
okay
and
then
we'll
go
with
councilmember
Cunningham,
so
I'm
two
questions.
One
is
well
a
comment.
Thank
you.
This
is
very
helpful
to
illustrate
sort
of
the
historical
nature
of
the
situation
and
as
well
as
the
more
recent
incidents
that
we've
been
experiencing
in
our
in
our
different
Ward's,
so
I'm
curious
about
the
reasons
that
MPD
might
have
about.
Why
we
see
certain
activities
in
certain
specific
streets
or
areas
and
and
I
know,
that's
a
complicated
question.
Cuz
I'm,
not
quite
sure
we
have
information
about
that.
A
But
of
course
you
all
do
the
work
every
day
in
the
community
and
you
might
have
some
ideas
about
what
is
what
does
that
concentration?
What
is
that
connected
to,
and
then
secondly,
I'm
wondering
if
you
have
seen
or
heard
of
any
other
initiatives
in
other
parts
of
the
country
that
are
addressing
what
we're
experiencing
here,
that
we,
as
the
city
haven't
taken
on
yet
or
that
were
maybe
thinking
about,
but
having
fully
jumped
in
just
curious
about?
A
F
F
When
she's
available
talk
about
that,
because
I
think
she
has
a
better
grasp
on
what
is
going
on
nationally,
because
many
of
these
are
not
just
a
police
centered
or
focused,
they
really
have
a
public
health
lens
to
them,
and
so
I
think
she'd
be
wanting
to
really
dive
into
that.
As
far
as
your
first
question,
I'm
gonna,
see
if
DC
force
might
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we're
seeing
in
terms
of
these
geographic
regions.
I
Thank
You
chief
chair
Connell,
when
it
comes
to
the
data
in
in
and
what
the
chief
had
presented,
you
will
see
that
historically,
a
violent
crime
which
encompasses
all
crime
and
where
we're
seeing
the
gunshot
wounds,
victims
and
the
gunshot
activity
fairly,
mirror
one
another
and
and
there's
a
couple
different
things
of
that
play
into
that
one.
Is
it's
there's
a
lot
of
historic
data
that
results
in
socio-economic
conditions
that
drive
poverty,
different
things
like
that
also
drive
conditions
that
that
foster
environments
where
violent
crime
is
occurring.
Secondly,
we
see
a
very
heavy
correlation.
I
The
areas
where
there's
gun
shot
violence
are
also
areas
that
we're
seeing
that
there's
a
lot
of
domestic
violence
and
there's
also
a
lot
of
child
abuse
occurring
so
generally
trauma
in
general
situations
or-
and
it
would
in
it's
been
years
of
air
that
have
experienced
trauma-
are
areas
that
experience
higher
levels
of
gun,
violence
from
a
environmental
standpoint.
There's
a
lot
of
data
and
figures
that
go
into
how
accessible
the
areas
generally
areas
that
are
on
transit
corridors
tend
to
have
high
levels
of
this
as
well,
because
it's
where
the
confluence
of
people
meet.
I
How
close
things
is
like
a
liquor
store
certain
businesses
factored
into
it?
Everything
from
lighting
there's
a
lot
of
different
things,
that
kind
of
that
that
over
time
and
data
have
shown
that
we
kind
of
consider
it
the
the
environment
in
the
place
aspect,
and
so
when
we're
looking
at
I
would
say
a
comprehensive
approach
to
it
to
an
area
it
starts
with.
It
starts
with
the
people
and
it
goes
to
the
environment
and
even
down
to
a
building.
I
Is
there
something
about
a
certain
building
that
may
be
attracting
or
or
or
not,
attracting
certain
people
to
an
area
that
might
be
affecting
things
like
that?
So
there's
a
lot
of
subtleties
that
sometimes
go
into
this,
but
the
overwhelming
data
that
we're
seeing
is
that
some
of
the
persistent
problems
that
have
been
going
on
for
many
years
in
these
areas.
J
Deputy
chief
might
here,
council
three
main
focus
when
you
look
at
I've,
been
on
Department.
Twenty-Seven
years
grew
up
in
Chicago.
You
have
to
talk
about
poverty,
education,
employment
keeps
in
twenty
five
years.
How
come
we
keep
having
the
same
violence
in
Minneapolis?
Look
about
mo.
It's
not
about
race
is
about
poverty.
You
look
at
almost
impoverished
communities
that
suffer.
J
If
someone
said
what
about
statistics
like
a
75
percent
of
our
black
shot
or
not,
Minneapolis,
look
at
major
cities:
I
go
to
Chicago,
go
to
Detroit,
they're,
actually
hired,
and
that's
because
they
have
a
more
concentration
of
poverty
for
minorities
and
also
we
do
work
with
young
men
coming
back
coming
out
of
prison
right
now,
chief
Farah
Donald's
talk
about
several
of
them
and
they
see
how
number
one
hurdle
is.
When
we
got
out
of
prison,
we
can't
find
a
place
to
put
over
a
roof
to
put
over
our
head.
J
We
can't
jobs,
it's
a
revolving
door
where
you've
been
seeing
for
the
last
two
or
three
generations.
So
again,
there's
a
police
department.
We
do
a
great
job
of
solving
murders.
My
thing
is:
how
can
we
prevent
murders
and
again
a
police
cannot
solve
this
right
here
until
we
as
a
society,
come
together
and
say
we're
gonna
do
something
about
poverty,
education
and
employment,
but
the
next
25
years
will
be
having
the
same
conversation
thanks.
G
I
Chair
councilmember,
Cunningham
I'd
have
to
give
you
an
estimate
on
that,
because
there's
some
that
we
just
don't
know,
there's
some
that
we
attribute
there's.
We
were
tracking,
sometimes
there's,
there's
group
members
that
are
involved,
but
it's
we'll
track
that
and
then,
but
we
don't
know
if
it's
group
member
motivated
or
we
may
suspect
it
is
I
want
to.
Let
me
take
a
look
at
some
preliminary
numbers
in
regards
to
that
and.
I
I
I
We
are
kind
of
driving
that
number
down
as
far
as
a
percentage
we're
seeing
less
and
less
definitive
group
member
involved
shootings
in
comparison
to
the
others
which,
as
you'll,
hear
as
it
goes
along
knowing
that
group
member
involvement
kind
of
drives
the
engine
when
it
comes
to
to
just
shooting
violence
in
urban
areas.
That's
a
significant
place
to
make
inroads.
I
G
I
Well,
most
of
our
homicide
cases
are
gun,
related
I
think
we
have
about
six
out
of
the
ones
that
have
occurred
this
year,
that
that
are
not
homicide,
closure
rates
or
something
that
that
grow
over
time.
You
may
start
a
general
national
average
I
think
is
hovers
around
the
fifty
to
sixty
percent
some
areas,
much
better
some
areas
much
worse.
Last
year
we
were
near
eighty
and
and
and
that
number
continues
to
improve,
because
cases
continue
to
be
worked
on
and,
and
information
comes
in.
I
We've
been
very
fortunate
that
at
the
last
batch
of
violence,
we've
had
some
extraordinary
cooperation
from
the
community
and
excellent
work
by
our
detectives
and
and
and
able
to
to
make
arrests
and
get
charges
in
a
timely
fashion,
and
that's
important
for
it
from
my
experience.
Having
done
that
job
that
the
sooner
that
we
can
get
answers
for
the
community
and
and
hold
people
accountable,
that
the
community
feels
better,
obviously,
and
that
it
to
stem
further
violence
as
well,
which
is
really
our
ultimate
goal,
is
what
can
we
do
to
keep
violence
from
occurring
down?
K
Didn't
so
much
have
a
question
just
wanted
to
thank
you
guys
for
giving
us
this
presentation,
I
think
that
the
approach
that
chief
Aradhana,
that
you've
taken
to
transparency
and
and
making
sure
that
we're
getting
these
kind
of
numbers
out
there
and
known
I
think
it's
really
good
for
community.
It's
really
good
for
us
as
a
council
to
have
more
public
conversations
about
this
kind
of
thing.
K
You
know
I
feel
like
often
we
don't
have
the
numbers
or
when
communities
and
other
numbers,
these
narratives
of
all
like
develop
right
people
here,
maybe
that
hate
crime
is
trending
down
which
which
it
is
but
then
kind
of.
Like
think,
okay,
it's
just
you
know
it's
doing
its
own
thing,
which
it's
not
you
know
a
lot
of
work
goes
into
this
some
folks.
You
know
on
the
on
the
other
end
say:
oh,
it's
the
worst!
It's
ever
been
it's
terrible!
It's
you
know
it's!
K
You
know
it's
madness
and
we
see
from
the
numbers
that
that's
not
the
case
either
I
think
we
have
a
solid
foundation
to
build
some
solutions
on
and
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
guys
for
putting
the
data
in
front
of
us
and
being
always
willing
to
come
and
give
presentations
like
this.
Also
then
wanted
to
thank
DC
Knight
for
his
comments.
K
I
think
that
there's
a
recognition
that
you
know
these
problems,
you
know
we
can't
have
police
only
solutions
to
these
problems
right
and
if
we
stick
with
that,
we're
gonna
be
talking
about
these
same
numbers
in
25
years.
I
thought
that
was
really
bluntly
but
also
accurately
put,
and
so
you
know,
none
of
these
problems
exist
in
a
vacuum
and
so
the
problem,
the
the
things
that
we
discuss
in
housing,
the
our
housing
discussions
in
you
know,
broader
housing.
Discussions
to
the
city
are
directly
linked
to
the
the
issues
that
you
guys
are
presenting
today.
M
It's
really
heartbreaking
to
see
these
maps
and
see
that
you
know
over
70%
of
the
gun.
Violence
in
our
city
is
happening
in
in
communities
that
that
are
deeply
impoverished
and
deeply
disinvested
in
and
and
those
opportunities
are
just
not
made
available
for
those
folks
to
be
able
to
live
healthy
and
contributing
lives.
And
so
it's
it's
our
work
as
a
council.
It's
our
work
as
a
community
and
it's
our
work
as
a
as
a
country
to
help
the
police
test
him
those
those
challenges
and
those
problems
in
our
communities.
M
A
Thank
you,
chief
I,
don't
see
any
more
questions,
so
I
just
would
like
to
thank
our
MPD
leadership,
all
three
of
you
for
being
here
today
and
for
helping
us
get
more
information
about
this
topic.
Well,
we'll
continue
on
with
the
other
portions
of
the
presentation,
and
then
we
have
an
action
that
will
take
after
this.
So
who
is
next?
Are
we
doing
with
health
Sasha?
Okay,
beautiful?
Yes,
please
come
on.
N
N
All
right
well
we'll
go
ahead
and
get
started
if
that's
okay,
I'm
Sasha
cotton
with
the
Minneapolis
Health,
Department
and
I
hope
that
you
all
can
hear
me
and
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
group
violence,
intervention
strategy
and
then
my
colleague
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
other
work
happening
in
the
health
department
that
he
leads
slide.
Please
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
some
big-picture
information
about
why
the
group
violence
intervention
is
focused
on
groups,
as
you
heard
from
our
team
from
MPD.
N
A
lot
of
the
violence
that
we
see
in
our
city,
particularly
related
to
guns,
is
driven
by
groups
and
guns,
and
so
core
offenders
are
often
few
and
identifiable.
You
can
ask
most
cops.
We
know
a
lot
of
the
folks
who
are
driving
the
violence.
It's
just
about
being
able
to
put
some
focused
attention
on
them,
and
that's
really
what
GPI
aims
to
do.
That
groups
drive
a
huge
share
of
the
violence,
and
so
when
we
look
statistically
at
most
major
cities,
around
60%
of
the
violence
is
driven
by
groups
and
gangs.
N
There's
roughly
about
five
percent
of
the
population
of
young
males
who
are
group
involved
or
who
are
attached
to
a
group,
but
only
about
10
or
20
percent
of
those
are
actual
key
players,
the
ones
who
are
actually
positioned
to
do
the
shootings,
and
so
the
number
is
relatively
small.
When
we
look
at
the
whole
population
of
Minneapolis
I.
Please,
and
the
key
to
that
to
me-
is
that
we're
talking
about
a
problem
that
is
manageable,
even
though
we
still
see
a
significant
problem.
N
There
are
tools
and
strategies
we
can
begin
to
implement
like
GPI
and
other
violence
reduction
strategies
that
we
can
look
towards
for
solutions.
Thinking
about
again.
The
model
gvi
brings
together
community
social
services
and
law
enforcement
to
work
together,
which
is
a
very
different
strata
from
what
we
traditionally
see.
N
Often
it
is
those
institutions
but
working
in
silos
and
not
actually
talking
to
one
another
to
address
the
problem,
and
we
know
that
police,
community
and
social
services
all
really
are
part
of
the
community
and
that
when
and
if
they're
not
working
together,
it
makes
it
much
more
difficult
for
us
to
solve
the
issue
of
any
issue,
but
particularly
around
the
issue
of
violence,
prevention
and
gun
violence.
We
look
specifically
at
homicides
and
serious
violence,
and
so
GBI
is
not
necessarily
focused
on
property
crimes
or
what
might
be
considered
by
the
law
as
low-level
offenses.
N
We
are
really
looking
strategically
at
guns
and
the
impact
that
guns
have
in
community
and
we
look
to
bring
moral
engagement.
We
want
to
offer
a
sincere
extension
of
help.
What
that
means
is
that
if
a
person
comes
to
us
and
says
this
is
what
I
need
to
get
on
track,
we
need
to
be
in
a
position
to
help
provide
that.
N
We
know
that
there
are
lots
of
different
ways
that
help
looks,
and
so
we
have
to
be
really
creative
and
nimble
in
our
efforts
to
meet
people
where
they're
at
for
some
people,
that
is
traditional
social
services.
But
for
some
people
that
really
is
much
more
granular
issues
that
are
affecting
them
on
a
day-to-day
level
and
then
I
think
one
of
the
most
important
things
is
in
partnership
with
law
enforcement.
Swift
certain
and
legitimate
consequences
are
really
important.
N
N
The
last
thing,
I
would
add
is
that
gvi
is
an
approach.
It's
not
a
program
and
I
think
oftentimes
people
can
stray
from
that.
There
are
programmatic
elements,
but
it
really
is
about
us
doing
business
differently
and
thinking
about
the
residents
who
are
deeply
impacted
by
gun
violence
and
are
sometimes
the
ones
who
are
receiving
those
gun
shots
but
are
also,
you
know,
historically,
have
been
the
people
who
are
using
the
guns
to
hurt
others,
but
they
are
a
part
of
our
community
and
we
have
to
think
about
how
we
engage
with
them
differently.
N
So
I've
touched
on
this
a
little
bit
on
the
last
slide,
but
what
makes
UVI
strategically
different
is
that
we're
not
just
focused
on
traditional
social
services.
So
when
we
think
about
traditional
social
services,
those
are
things
like
education,
employment,
housing
and
those
things
are
really
important
and
they're
really
important
to
our
clientele,
and
we
do
provide
those
kinds
of
services.
N
They
have
a
shot
at
education,
but
if
we
can't
keep
them
alive
and
we
can't
even
want
to
prison
those
opportunities
become
inevitably
limited,
and
so
we
partner
with
other
social
service
agencies,
as
well
as
our
anchor
agency,
to
provide
traditional
social
services.
But
we
are
deeply
focused
on
keeping
people
safe
alive
and
free
next
slide,
please.
So
this
is
a
little
bit
about
impact.
N
As
we're
thinking
about
our
presentation,
we
were
asked
to
think
about
impact
and
I
know
come
summer
Cunningham,
you
raise
the
question
about
sort
of
percentages,
so
these
are
some
rough
justice
numbers
based
on
some
tools
that
we
utilize
through
our
partners
with
the
national
network
for
Safe
Communities,
the
host
agency
and
developer
of
GBI.
But
what
we've
seen
is
a
steady
decrease
and
the
number
of
group
member
involved
shootings.
N
N
That's
being
done
in
the
community,
our
numbers
are
just
over
a
hundred
people
that
we've
been
able
to
serve
and
about
16
months
that
the
program
has
been
up
and
running
and
that's
an
ongoing
service
model.
So
we
don't
ever
really
write
a
person
off
and
say
you're,
no
longer
a
part
of
the
program.
People
can
come
back
to
us
at
any
time,
even
if
they
fall
out
of
touch.
We
make
every
effort
to
stay
in
touch
with
them
and
continue
to
support
their
growth.
N
The
number
of
clients
that
we've
had
shot
in
the
16
ones
that
we've
been
doing
the
program
is
three
so
three
out
of,
or
at
over
100
we're
roughly
at
about
a
hundred
and
eight
at
the
best
like
if
I'm,
actually
getting
right
down
to
the
number.
So
to
only
have
had
three
of
the
people
who
have
come
and
done.
Programmatic
work
with
us
be
shot
is
really
miraculous,
we're
working
with
guys
who
are
deeply
involved.
N
We
have
only
lost
one
client
in
the
16
months
that
we've
been
working
to
a
homicide
and
while
we
grieve
deeply
with
him
in
the
community,
we
feel
like
that
number
is
good,
in
spite
of
it
being
awful
for
lack
of
a
better
way
to
explain
that
that
one
life
lost
a
gun.
Violence
is
to
many,
but
we
think
that
we
are
doing
something
right.
N
If
of
the
hundreds
of
plus
people,
we've
sorted,
we've
only
lost
one
to
a
homicide,
and
then
the
number
of
clicks
that
were
serving
right
now
is
34,
which
goes
to
show
that
we
have
a
large
population
of
groups.
So
there
are
lots
of
clusters
of
them
throughout
the
city.
While
this
project
focus
primarily
on
the
4th
precinct,
we
are
receiving
signs
from
across
the
city.
So
we
don't
limit
our
intakes
to
people
who
are
coming
directly
out
of
the
4th
precinct.
N
I
would
be
remiss
not
to
ask
the
team
to
come
and
offer
a
little
bit
of
insight
about
the
work
that
they're
doing
and
the
folks
that
they
are
working
with
so
I'm
gonna
ask
our
lead
case
manager
for
Rome
Braun
to
come
and
talk
first
and
then,
hopefully
we
can
make
time
to
hear
some
brief
statements
from
other
members
of
the
team.
So
I
hope
that
you
will
allow
that.
Thank
you.
A
O
You
welcome
Hey,
so
first
thing
I
wanted
to
say
was
just
this
morning:
I
got
a
call
from
one
of
the
high-end
leaders
and
I
was
telling,
like
god,
I'm
kind
of
nervous
about
going
there.
Talking
to
you
guys.
You
know
he
was
like
for
what
this
stuff
just
started
happening
from
for
almost
two
years,
you've
been
working
with
me,
get
out,
I've
stopped.
Having
didn't
you
haven't,
went
back
or
anything
and
I
thought
about
it.
O
I
was
like
the
guys
that
really
take
advantage
of
the
resource
to
take
advantage
of
us
have
really
done
good
I'm,
really
just
like
the
guy
that
just
lost
his
life.
Nathan
I
had
him
in
school
and
how
was
this
case
manager
when
he
was
a
kid
and
when
he
went
to
college
he
called
me
like
from.
Could
you
send
me
a
pizza
up
here,
you're
not
really
having
a
heart
trouble
up
here.
Any
settlement
girl,
I'ma
leave
I,
said
bro.
Just
try
to
stay
there.
O
You
know
just
like
he
came
home,
make
a
long
story
short
and
it
hurts
me
every
day
that
we
lost
Nathan,
but
Nathan
will
had
a
one-foot
in
and
that's
one
thing:
if
we
talk
to
our
clients
about
it,
not
participants.
If
you're
gonna
do
this
so
you're
really
gonna
change
your
life.
You
have
to
be
all
the
way
in.
So
that's
the
first
thing.
O
Another
thing
is
these
guys:
we
have
four
and
fourth
staff
to
work
fully
part-time,
a
hundred
and
eight
not
listen
to
this
job,
a
hundred
and
eight
guys
that
we
have
to
work
with.
So
we
have
to
scramble
anybody's
every
day
case
manager
work.
What
is
the
most?
People
won
a
case
managers
you're
supposed
to
have.
Maybe
you
go
oops
I'm,
breaking
our
stuff
trying
to
talk
so
passionate
y'all
know
I'm
passionate
about
this
in
it.
O
P
Thank
you
for
your
time.
My
name
is
Manu
Lewis
and
I.
Really
I
really
do
feel
a
lot
of
benefit
in
working
with
these
young
men
out
of
young
man.
He
called
me
7:30
8
o'clock
in
the
morning
cuz.
He
just
wants
to
vent
and
I
understand.
If
he
gets
his
vent
off
in
the
morning.
The
rest
of
his
day
might
go
a
little
easy,
not
that
he
needs
anything,
but
he
just
wants
somebody
to
hear
him
and
listen
to
him
right.
P
A
lot
of
these
individuals
that
that
I
actually
worked
with
really
take
value,
and
somebody
just
being
there
right.
We
all
know
that
the
housing
is
the
issue
and
the
employment
for
felons
is
the
issue
right
and
a
lot
of
them
bear
that
and
understand
that
those
are
choices
that
they
made,
but
we
still
got
to
move
forward.
I
know
that
project
life
in
an
engagement
that
a
chief
Arizona
has
been
doing
with
it
with
the
community.
It's
making
a
grave
impact
on
our
community.
Thank
you.
Q
Q
Sought-After
people
that
work
on
this
team,
because
I
actually
try
my
hardest
to
find
people,
housing
and
I,
know
how
difficult
it
is
with
a
felony
background
and
the
word
felony
holds
too
much
power,
but
I
just
want
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
this.
Seventeen-Year-Old
I'ma
keep
his
anonymity
of
his
name,
but
I
have
a
17
year
old,
who
was
shot
twice
lives
in
the
basement
with
the
guy
who
got
him
shot
to
us
and
had
this
young
man
not
continued
to
continue
to
reach
out
to
me.
Q
I
wouldn't
have
had
him
housed
recently
and
he
does
have
a
job
right
now.
So
I
see
major
work
ahead
of
us
to
keep
young
people
like
that
from
just
losing
their
life
and
I
think
that
the
principle
for
having
having
them
safe
alive
and
free
is
definitely
something
that
we
strive
for
every
day.
Thank
you.
R
Good
afternoon
Council,
one
of
the
things
that
Froman
talked
about
was
Nathan
and
first
sight
as
it
was
that
lose
Nathan.
It's
even
sadder
to
know
that
he
didn't
get
the
opportunity
to
get
into
our
program
because
he
lost
his
life.
We
have
a
lot
of
young
guys
who
reach
out
to
us
his
man,
you
said
early
in
the
morning
and
in
the
hours
between
1:00
a.m.
R
and
three
o'clock
in
the
morning,
simply
because
they
have
things
on
their
mind
and
on
their
heart,
and
they
have
no
one
to
speak
to
him
about,
and
those
words
have
been
curbed,
encouragement
that
we
give
them
give
them
the
motivation
to
get
up
the
next
morning
and
continue
to
do
what
society
says.
They're
not
supposed
to
do.
R
R
We
have
to
find
them
somewhere
to
go
that
is
safe
and
it's
even
more
difficult
to
find
him
employment,
because,
like
Queen
stated
that
felony
holds
a
lot
of
power
and
we
we
bend
over
backwards
to
get
you
guys
an
appointment,
you
know
to
find
landlords
and
just
anybody
willing
to
take
them
in
to
give
them
that.
Second
chance,
we
have
guys
who
have
cut
their
hair
because
they
felt
that
would
give
them
an
opportunity
to
get
out
and
get
employment.
R
I'll
talk
to
my
guys
about
changing
the
way
they
dress
the
way
they
walk
the
way
they
talk
and
everything
and
they've
done
that
without
question,
and
they
still
haven't
received
opportunities
that
they
need.
The
children
can
see
it.
The
significant
others
can
see
it
and
their
families
can
see
it
and
for
us,
as
their
case
managers,
we
see
it
every
day
with
them
and
it
hurts.
R
M
You,
chair,
Connell
I
just
want
to
say,
to
miss
cotton
and
to
all
the
team
project.
Life
and
GV
I
lift
up
the
work
that
you
guys
have
been
doing.
The
tremendous
efforts
to
connect
with
with
people
when
they
most
desperately
need
a
ear
or
a
word
of
encouragement
or
advice.
Is
it's
really
challenging
and
I
know
that
these
are
young
people
that
our
society
has
really
left
on
the
wayside
and
an
abandoned
in
in
their
earliest
years
and
and
that
that
continues
to
follow
them?
M
K
Have
kind
of
like
a
rhetorical
question:
I
heard
you
said
that,
like
folks
were
part-time
but
I'm
here
1
o'clock
in
the
morning
3
o'clock
in
the
morning.
You
know
you
guys
are.
It
sounds
like
you're
around
the
clock,
so
so
I
hope
out
that
you
know
we
can.
We
could
respect
that
and
and
in
a
flannel
Widow
you
know
make
sure
that
we're
we're
making
good
on
on
the
value
that
you
guys
are
bringing
the
other.
The
other
question
that
I
did
want
to
want
to
get
into
is
the
the
project's
been
at
this.
K
This
approach,
not
program
I,
think,
has
been
amazing,
but
I
also
know
that,
for
whatever
reason
you
know
there
are
those
folks
who
have
doubts
about
the
approach
and
it
while
I
kind
of
know
the
answers
to
most
of
the
questions
when
I
ask
oh
I
just
wanted
to
state.
You
know
some
folks
who
have
doubts
about
the
program
or
the
impression
that
the
city's
already
been
doing
this
for
20
years,
and
then
you
know
gvi
hasn't.
You
know
worked
for
that
long.
N
In
Minneapolis
started
on
May
4th
2016,
so
it's
been
less
than
two
years.
Our
service
numbers
are
quadruple
what
we
were
anticipated
to
get
as
far
as
the
number
of
people
we
were
anticipated
to
serve,
we
were
told
by
our
national
folks
would
buys
us
that
we
would
probably
get
10
or
so
people
in
the
first
year,
and
there
are
cities
that
are
serving
roughly
that
amount.
N
We
look
across
those
numbers
and
it
it
tells
us
that
there's
dire
and
desperation
for
this
kind
of
work
in
Minneapolis
that
people
aren't
just
doing
what
they're
doing
because
they
want
to,
but
because
they
really
don't
see
how
to
get
out
and
when
they
see
an
opportunity.
There
are
a
number
people
who
are
willing
to
take
it.
To
that
point.
Counselor
if
I
can
I
would
also
add
that
what
makes
G
bi
uniquely
different
from
maybe
what
we've
done
in
the
past
is
that
people
can
opt
in.
N
So
this
is
not
a
referral
based
program.
Yes,
we
work
closely
with
our
partners
and
probation
and
the
police
department
in
order
for
them
to
message
to
people
we
know
are
at
great
risk
about
this
model,
but
it
is
also
welcomed
and
encouraged
that
young
people
and
families
reach
out,
if
you
know,
you're
in
a
lifestyle
that
is
going
to
kill
you
and
you
want
out.
This
is
your
911
and
that
hasn't
always
existed.
There
hasn't
always
been
a
place
to
go,
and
that's
what
I
say
is
is
uniquely
different
about
this
approach.
Awesome.
K
And
then
my
next
question
is
less
for
you
and
your
team
and
more
for
MPD
I
know
that
another
sort
of
at
least
rhetorically,
some
of
the
some
of
the
others
just
kind
of
doubts
that
I
hear
is
that
you
know
this
program.
This
approach
really
hinges
on
the
brilliance
of
you
know:
Sasha
cotton
in
the
health
department
and
that
maybe
there's
a
lack
of
institutional
support
around
these
this
approach.
Could
you
speak
to
MPD's
the
portion
of
this
approach,
the
MPD
owns
and
and
kind
of?
K
F
Cheering
OH
councilmember
Allison,
so
if
I
could
first
just
say,
there
are
very
few
people,
with
the
exception
of
our
council
members
here
that
I
as
a
chief
can
call
at
3:30
in
the
morning,
they'll
pick
up
their
phone
right
away.
All
of
those
individuals,
mr.
fargy
miss
Connie
from
next
up.
They,
they
really
provide
so
much
great
value
to
our
city.
The
other
thing
I,
think
that
makes
them
very
unique,
is
their
credibility
and
the
relationships
that
they
have.
F
They
can
navigate
into
any
neighborhood
in
our
city
and
they're,
respected
they're
trusted,
and
they
have
that
credibility.
So
I
just
can't
say
enough
about
the
folks
that
are
here
today.
So
have
there
been
silos
and
cultures
of
mentality
within
the
police
department
that
have
sometimes
said
you
know.
This
is
what
we
do,
but
well
you
do
your
thing
and
we're
not
going
to
work
with
you
that
has
occurred
within
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
in
the
past.
F
F
But
these
this
is
the
swarm
sworn
officer
component
from
the
police
department
under
the
direction
of
a
deputy
chief
force
that
provides
that
enforcement
piece
to
to
our
communities,
and
when
we
talked
about
the
call
and
notifications
that
are
you
know,
that
piece
is
trying
to
hold
folks
accountable
from
the
legal
side,
but
those
officers
from
the
get
they
work
closely
with
our
RG
VI
folks.
It's
important
that
there's
a
free-flowing
information
exchange
customer
else.
F
I
remember,
I,
think
was
last
year
we
ordered
up
catering
food,
had
a
lunch
and
got
folks
in
the
room
together
and
I
wrote
three
questions
on
the
board
and
the
first
thing
just
to
break
ice
was
I
think
was
who's
your
favorite
singer,
and
then
we
went
down
the
list
there,
but
it
was
just
to
get
everybody
in
the
same
room
to
say
that,
in
order
for
us
to
do
this
work,
we
have
to
work
together.
So
we
will
continue
to
do
that.
F
We
meet
monthly
myself,
deputy
chief
or
is
DC
Knight
and
miss
cotton
to
talk
about.
Where
are
there
gaps
that
we're
missing?
Where
are
their
blind
spots?
If
there's
any
bureaucratic
or
infrastructure
silos,
we
want
to
break
those
down
because
in
order
for
them
to
be
successful,
they
have
to
know
that
they
have
a
successful,
reliable
partner
within
the
MPD.
K
Quick
follow-up.
Thank
you
for
that
I.
Could
you
walk
it
without
like
kind
of
get
into
a
specific
case,
because
I
know
that
that
gets
very
sensitive?
Could
you
walk
us
like
through
you
know?
For
the
sake
of
the
you
know,
the
public
maybe
an
example
of,
like
you
know,
a
shooting
occurs
within
the
gvi
approach.
I
Many
different
partners
to
review
every
single
shooting
that
occurs
during
that
week,
period
of
time
and
in
the
detectives
come
in.
They
give
us
a
briefing
as
what's
going
on
with
these
with
these
cases
and
the
whole
focus
of
that,
one
is
surely
to
hold
those
responsible
who
are
doing
things
because
that's
an
important
component,
but
secondly,
it
is
what
can
we
do
to
keep
retaliation
from
occurring?
What
can
we
do
to
prevent
violence
from
occurring
down
the
line
and
a
lot
of
that
is
esashi
described?
I
She
mentioned
people
who
are
at
risk
and
there's
at
risk
of
committing
violence,
but
there's
also
at
risk
of
being
a
victim
of
violence,
and
we
would
recognize,
through
the
through
our
collective
reading
of
reports,
we
might
notice
there's
a
person
that
has
been
at
the
last
two
shootings
they're,
not
a
victim
they're,
not
a
suspect,
but
there
are
around
violent
acts
that
person
should
be
reached
out
to
there.
They
are
at
risk
of
something
happening
to
them
and
identifying
people
like
that.
I
Also,
additionally,
we
will
identify
I,
said
people
who
are
at
risk,
people
that
need
to
be.
That
would
be
considered
for
a
custom
notification,
be
it
through
Sasha
and
probation
and
law
enforcement
together,
or
even
if
it's
just
us
finding
them
in
the
spaces
that
we
find
them
and
saying
you
need
to
reach
out
for
these
services.
We're
concerned
about
you,
but
there's
people,
there's
groups,
there's
areas,
there's
spaces,
we
consider
dates.
Anniversary
dates
of
different
incidents.
Are
those
occurring.
I
What
can
we
do
and
then
all
so
collectively,
maybe
not
just
from
a
law
enforcement
response,
but
when
you
have
a
space,
what
can
we
do
in
terms
of
activating
it
for
the
weekend?
Could
there
be
a
pop-up
park
or
an
event
that
we
can
put
in
that
space?
Because
really
what
we
want
to
do
is
disrupt
things.
We
want
to
disrupt
the
pattern
of
violence
and
prevent
further
acts
from
occurring,
so
that
occurs
weekly.
Now,
if
there's
a
significant
incident,
then
it
becomes
again
along
the
lines
of
prevention.
I
There's
the
two
avenues:
there's
the
enforcement
we
want
to
solve.
We
want
to
hold
those
accountable
because,
as
I
said,
that's
important
for
cutting
off.
If,
if
people
feel
that
the
answers
aren't
given
or
that
the
people
responsible
are
caught,
then
may
cause
people
to
want
to
take
that
to
their
own
hands.
So
we
want
to
be
swift
and
sure
with
that,
but
we
also
want
to
focus
and
put
the
message
out
that
that's
not
tolerated
now
and
I'll
end
with
you
know.
I
Things
are
going
in
the
right
direction
when
we
have
people
that
are
part
of
our
task
force
is
saying:
I
was
on
a
search
warrant
the
other
day
and
the
guy
that
we're
talking
with,
he
really
seems
like
he
wants
to
get
out
of
this
life.
I
think
he's
really
open
for
services,
so
here's
his
name
and
they
were
saying
this
person.
We
need
to
have
someone
contact
this
person
because
I
think
they
look
like
they
could
use
some
help.
So
that
means
we
have
people
looking
in
the
right
direction.
K
Thank
you
and,
and
the
reason
I
asked
is
cuz.
You
know
I
know
I
know
they
answered
a
lot
of
these
questions,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
neighbors
know
the
public
knows
that
this
approach
is
is
really
something
that
is,
that
is
a
collaborative
I,
think
that's
a
great
used
word
to
use
and
that
it's
not
a
side
project,
but
the
council
or
side
part
of
the
health
department.
But
it's
a
it
is
something
that
that,
like
it
is
kind
of
all
hands
on
deck
kind
of
approach.
F
F
Connell,
just
one
last
thing
for
counselor
Allison,
so
from
a
quick,
operational
standpoint
when
we
get
that
tragic
call
that
we
have
a
community
member
that
has
lost
their
life
to
homicide,
our
GDI
team
is
getting
that
page
notification
right
away.
We
will
also
be
in
contact
with
whether
it's
mr.
fire
Jim
is
Connie
from
the
hospitals,
because
there
they
may
see
if
it's
even
a
gunshot
wound
victim.
They
may
be
seeing
the
impacts
of
that
down
at
our
hospitals.
Folks
may
convene
in
mass
and
any
of
our
hospitals
grieving
frustrated
angry.
M
N
Absolutely
so
our
partnership,
we
have
an
executive
team
that
meets
that's,
can
be
by
the
mayor
and
that's
made
up
of
the
mayor:
the
police
chief,
our
County
Attorney,
our
United
States
Attorney,
the
city
attorney
our
commissioner
of
health,
our
lead
agency,
I'm,
a
social
service
side
Northpoint,
as
well
as
probation
from
Hennepin
County.
So
that's
sort
of
a
governmental
structure.
We
have
a
community
group
that
meets
on
a
monthly
basis.
That's
made
up
of
community
residents
who
come
together
to
provide
advice
to
the
group
and
they
really
are
instrumental
in
planning
those
events.
N
So
when
we're
trying
to
do
a
response
to
an
incident,
they
really
help
to
motivate
and
uplift
those
kind
of
events
that
we
do
in
community
and
that
group
meets
monthly
and
then
the
social
service
partner
that
were
anchored
in
is
Northpoint,
but
we
do
reach
out
and
work
with
various
agencies
and
community
to
try
to
help
provide
services
to
the
clients
were
working
with
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
Yeah.
N
I
do
have
two
other
quick,
slides
and
then
I
promise
to
get
out
from
in
front
of
you.
Oh
thank
you
so
just
following
up
on
the
idea
of
activation
after
major
incidents-
and
this
has
been
talked
about
so
I
won't
spend
much
time,
but
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
do.
We
do
them
to
the
level
that
we
can,
as
was
mentioned
before
from
is
our
only
full-time
case
manager.
N
Everyone
else
works
part-time
on
project
life,
so
it
really
depends
on
the
ability
of
the
staff
to
be
able
to
be
deployed,
but
we
do
do
individual
outreach
with
families
assistance
with
bereavement
which
a
big
shout
out
to
the
next
set,
because
they
really
help
to
coordinate
that
which
is
a
problem
we
hear
about
shortly
and
then
custom
notifications
about
the
violence.
That's
what
the
Chiefs
have
talked
about,
which
is
really
getting
out
there
and
doing
the
door
knocking
to
say
retaliation
is
not
gonna
be
tolerated.
N
We
are
as
law
enforcement
investigating
this
case
and
figuring
out.
What's
going
on,
we
need
you
to
not
do
that
right.
This
is
the
role
of
law
enforcement
and
that's
done
with
community
and
law
enforcement
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
When
we
can
do
that.
Funeral
attendance
and
strategic
outreach
to
clients
funeral
attendance
is
something
we
really
want
to
be
able
to
do.
But
it's
really
hard
because
our
staff
have
regular
day
jobs.
N
Those
are
some
of
the
events
that
we
plan,
particularly
at
places
where
how
large-scale
homicide
scenes
have
happened,
and
then
funeral
attendance
as
well
and
then
my
last
slide
is
really
about
what
are
our
next
steps
with
project
life
GBI?
So
we
have
a
call
in
October,
which
is
an
opportunity
to
present
this
information
to
the
young
people
who
are
most
impacted
by
the
violence.
Those
who
we
believe
are
group
affiliated
and
who
are
a
great
risk
of
being
either
a
victim
or
a
perpetrator
of
a
shooting
crime,
and
so
we
invite
them.
N
We
invite
their
families,
we
have
a
meal,
but
we
deliver
a
very
strategic
message
about
the
violence
that
the
violence
won't
be
tolerated,
that
we
offer
you
a
sincere
extension
of
help.
These
are
the
services
we
can
provide,
but
you
have
to
put
the
guns
down.
That's
just
a
non-negotiable
thing:
you
can
put
them
down
and
walk
away
on
your
own
because
you
feel,
like
you
have
everything
you
need
to
do
so,
but
if
you
need
help,
there's
help
available
specifically
cater
to
you.
We
have
an
update
to
our
group
audit
and
our
metrics
management.
N
That'll.
Be
opening
around
the
same
time
in
October,
while
our
partners
from
John
Jay
on
the
national
network
are
here
from
New
York,
so
really
updating
and
taking
a
robust
look
at
all
the
data
systems
that
we
use
and
then
training
on
an
implementation
of
new
elements
of
the
model.
So
one
of
them
is
really
being
able
to
look
at
victims
of
violence
and
doing
a
community
police
response
with
those
victims
and
those
families.
If
it's
a
homicide,
the
family,
if
it's
a
victim
who's,
been
seriously
injured.
N
That
person,
in
particular
we're
looking
at
you
training
with
our
Patrol,
to
make
sure
that
all
of
MPD
is
really
clear
and
understanding
what
gvi
is
and
that
they
can
message
as
well
as
our
get
team
about
what
the
work
is.
We're
also
looking
at
custom,
onna,
fication
training,
so
making
sure
that
everyone
who
needs
to
know
how
to
deliver
a
custom
knows
how
to
do
that.
N
We're
looking
forward
to
having
those
trainings
most
of
them
in
November
and
then
we're
looking
specifically
at
how
we
can
do
more
around
juveniles
and
doing
a
specific
tailor
of
GBI
for
juveniles.
So
that
concludes
my
presentation.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
further
questions.
A
S
We
talk
a
lot
about
story
and
narrative
with
next
steps,
so
the
next
step
program
is
grounded
in
this
narrative,
medicine
approach,
which
is
really
all
about
sort
of
understanding,
the
stories
and
the
narratives
of
our
participants
and
thinking
about
how,
if
they
change
their
stories,
they'll
they'll
change
their
lives.
So
that's
sort
of
the
tagline
of
the
next
step
program
and
so
in
our
bi-weekly
staff
meetings,
where
you
know
running
down
the
list
of
our
participants
and
talking
about
what's
going
on
in
their
lives.
S
What
needs
some
attention,
and
so
we
really
have
you
know
on
a
daily
basis,
a
reminder
of
really
sort
of
those
stories
in
the
human
impact
of
the
program.
So
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
at
the
outset
of
about
some
data
and
macro
level
stuff,
but
I
wanted
to
provide
that
grounding
prior
to
doing
that
and
then
we'll
sort
of
wrap
it
up
with
fargy
talking
about
kind
of
what
it
looks
like
on
the
ground.
S
So
a
little
bit
of
background
and
sort
of
why
Hospital
based
intervention
you
can
read
through
these
numbers,
but
essentially
the
idea
is
that
when
a
young
person
shows
up
to
an
emergency
room
with
a
gunshot
wound
or
stab
wound,
that's
sort
of
a
golden
opportunity
for
a
teachable
moment
to
intervene
with
that
young
person.
You
know
the
data
out.
There
says
that
if
you've
been
hurt
once
you're
more
much
more
likely
to
get
hurt
again
and
also
there's
a
greater
likelihood
of
retaliatory
violence
for
victims
of
gunshot
wounds
establish
assaults.
S
So
the
hospital
room
really
provides
an
opportunity
where
that
young
person
that
individual
is
maybe
in
a
more
vulnerable
place,
they're
also
potentially
surrounded
by
a
support
system
who
is
also
sort
of
experiencing
that
vulnerability?
And
is
may
be
amenable
to
some
change,
so
if
we
can
make
a
connection
with
that
young
person
and
provide
sort
of
a
trusted
voice
or
a
trusted
messenger
in
the
hospital
room
before
they're
discharged,
we
can
really
make
a
much
more
significant
impact.
S
An
additional
part
is
that
a
lot
of
these
young
people
who
come
through
are
often
disconnected
from
our
usual
systems,
and
so
this
is
an
opportunity
to
really
make
a
connection
with
those
young
people
and
make
some
meaningful
change
so
that
the
three
goals
that
next
step
are
really
to
reduce,
retaliate
or
reduce
the
rate
of
violent
re-injury
and
recidivism
so
prevent
victims
from
coming
back
to
the
hospital.
A
second
time
to
support
the
holistic
development
of
the
individuals
and
their
families.
S
So
really
sort
of
what
next
step
is
all
about
is
understanding
what
may
have
led
these
individuals
to
be
in
the
situations
where
they
were
injured
in
the
first
place
and
what
we
can
do
to
get
them
on
a
different
path
or
to
change
that
story
to
get
them
somewhere
else,
and
so
in
doing
that.
That's
really
all
about
sort
of
supporting
their
development
and
addressing
whatever
needs
might
there
might
be
in
the
community
for
them,
and
then
the
third
piece
is
about
interrupting
that
recurrent
cycle
of
violence.
S
S
So
really
the
approach
and
fargy
is
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
this.
But
generally,
the
approach
is
next
step.
Staff
are
in
the
hospital
room
within
30
minutes
of
an
individual
showing
up
to
the
ER,
so
they
get
a
notification,
they
get
a
page
on
their
cell
phone
and
they
show
up
to
the
hospital
within
30
minutes.
S
So
next
up
really
seeks
to
address
that
by
putting
somebody
in
the
hospital
room
as
early
as
possible
to
have
those
conversations
and
to
provide
some
support
beyond
just
medical
care
that
they're
getting
so
that
on-call
notification
staff
show
up
and
do
the
bedside
visit.
As
long
as
that,
young
person
is
in
the
hospital
they're
getting
a
visit
from
next-step
staff
daily,
so
that
relationship
is
building
in
the
hospital
once
that
individual
is
discharged
from
the
hospital,
then
staff
are
working
with
them
for
up
to
a
year
really
sort
of
providing
community-based
case
management
services.
S
So
addressing
both
the
big
things
like
employment,
housing,
food
access
and
also
sort
of,
what's
often
I
like
to
call
the
big
small
things.
So
if
you,
you
know
we're
a
victim
of
an
injury
and
your
shoes
were
taken,
we
need
to
get
you
a
pair
of
shoes
if
you're
being
discharged
in
hospital
flip-flops,
that's
not
going
to
do
so.
How
can
we
get
you
some
shoes
sort
of
those
little
things
that,
though
those
individual
individuals
really
need
to
sort
of
get
started
on
that
positive
path,
that
the
approach
is
really
to
use
credible
messengers.
S
So
these
staff
are
individuals
who
have
an
understanding
of
what
it's
like
to
go
through
some
of
these
situations.
They
represent
the
individuals
that
we're
serving
in
the
program.
They
use
this
narrative
medicine
approach,
which
is
really
all
about
sort
of
understanding
the
story
of
that
individual.
So
it's
not
just
about
sort
of
you
know.
What
did
you
do
it's
about?
Maybe
what
maybe
sort
of
what
led
to
this
in
the
first
place,
and
what
can
we
do
to
put
you
on
a
different
path?
S
So
we
focus
not
just
on
the
physical
healing,
but
also
the
mental
healing,
so
understanding
that
a
violent
injury
isn't
just
a
physical
thing.
It's
a
mental
thing
and
there's
a
lot
of
healing
that
needs
to
happen
beyond
that.
Beyond
just
the
physical
wound,
we
do
a
lot
of
work
around
safety
planning.
We
do
a
lot
of
work
around
housing.
So
often
we'll
have
individuals
coming
in
who
don't
have
a
safe
place
to
return
to,
because
you
know
they
may
have
been
shot
and
whoever
came
after
them
may
come
after
them
again.
S
But
sort
of
the
big
piece
that
stands
out
is
during
the
program's
first
year
only
3%
of
the
participants
came
back
to
HCMC
with
the
same
or
a
similar
injury.
So
if
you
think
back
to
one
of
those
first
slides
on
background,
it
said
that
the
hospital
readmission
for
another,
violent
injury
typically
is
about
40%.
This
3%
is
really
striking
in
comparison
to
that.
S
Forty
percent
granted
the
time
periods
aren't
exactly
the
same,
but
still
that's
a
very
striking
number
for
us,
and
also
the
number
of
young
people
that
have
chosen
to
engage
since
the
beginning.
So
early
on,
we
did
a
site
visit
to
New
Orleans
to
see
their
program
in
action,
and
they
were
saying
about
20-25
percent
of
the
individuals
who
came
into
the
hospital
who
chose
to
engage
in
the
program
or
north
of
75
80
percent
of
young
people
who
are
choosing
to
engage,
which
I
think
speaks
to
the
credibility
of
our
staff.
S
They
can
really
come
into
that
room
and
a
vulnerable
moment
and
make
a
connection
right
away,
which
I
think
is
a
huge
thing.
So
that's
sort
of
the
kind
of
the
big
picture
of
macro
impact,
but
really
the
I
think
what's
kind
of
more
striking,
is
to
hear
from
the
experience
on
the
ground.
So
I
wanted
by
far
gee
to
talk
about
that
three
years
ago,
when
I
was
starting,
this
program
with
HCMC
fargy
was
the
first
definitely
hired
and
for
about
two
of
those
years
he
was
doing
everything.
S
So
he
was
the
hospital
responder,
the
community-based
case
manager.
He
was
getting
the
phone
calls
at
2:00
a.m.
he
was
doing
it
all
I'm
pleased
to
say
that
he's
been
elevated
to
a
director
position
now
with
next
step,
so
he's
overseeing
that
as
we
are
expanding
to
North
Memorial.
So
he's
going
to
talk
about
some
of
his
experiences
with
the
program.
T
Thank
You
chair
Connell
and
councilmembers
I'm,
just
going
to
kind
of
give
you
an
example
of
what
happens
as
it's
going
off
right
now.
So
pretty
much.
The
Zipit
is
application.
That's
notified
through
the
EMS
services
at
Hennepin,
County,
Medical
Center
would
notify
and
we
have
about
30
minutes
to
respond
during
these
30
minutes.
It's
extremely
difficult
because
the
situation
is
fresh.
Some
of
the
family
members
are
following
ambulances
down
to
the
hospital.
You
have.
T
Police
officers
involved
ambulances
involved,
and
then
you
also
have
now
HCMC
or
North
memorial
security
involved
and
excuse
me,
but
I
still
get
nervous
about
how
many
times
I've
been
here,
but
pretty
much.
We
get
these
these
notifications
they
come
in.
It
could
be
a
fight
outside
of
club
and
then
next
thing
you
know
boom
boom
boom
somebody
gets
shot.
So
you
have
all
these
people
that
are
downtown
or
whatever
neighborhood
that
they're
coming
from,
and
then
they
come
into
the
hospital
at
first.
T
It
was
a
little
difficult,
but
we
are
there
to
provide
support
for
those
families
and
also
for
the
medical
staff.
So
when
a
person
comes
in
they're
considered
no
info,
we
work
with
the
staff
inside
of
the
hospital
so
that
we
can
relay
some
of
the
information
sort
of
family
to
kind
of
relieve
some
of
the
stress
and
some
of
the
trauma
that
they
need.
T
There's
people
standing
outside
Security's
on
high
alert
police
officers
are
on
high
alert
and
our
whole
purpose
is
just
to
kind
of
release
some
of
that
tension
and
to
build
that
bridge
so
that
we
can
have
this
individual
religious
come
to
us
some
time
to
heal
a
lot
of
the
guys,
don't
make
some
majority
of
them
that
do
make
it
I
would
say
like
90%
of
them
once
we
actually
come
into
contact
with
them.
They
grasp
onto
the
concept
of
changing
this
story
to
change
their
life
and
our
big
our
basic
way
of
building.
T
That
relationship
is
through
the
use
of
narrative
medicine,
which
was
developed
by
a
gentleman
at
Hennepin,
County,
Medical
Center
by
the
name
of
semester,
Jones
who's.
Also,
a
renowned
author
and
play
writer
who's
been
able
to
kind
of
give
us
the
skills
that
we
need
to
kind
of
communicate
with
the
individuals
that
we
come
into
contact
with
and,
as
you
know,
some
of
these
guys
are
not
friendly.
Some
of
them
cost
us
out.
T
They
want
us
to
leave
their
rooms,
but
with
the
initiative
of
myself
and
the
team,
we
are
still
able
to
get
those
individuals
to
join
next
step
and
they
start
making
some
of
those
changes
towards
their
life.
I'm
gonna
just
give
you
an
example
of
the
young
man
who
was
shot
last
year.
There
was
a
situation
that
was
occurring
a
little
earth
in
which
the
young
men
were
being
shot,
maybe
twice
a
week
when
we
get
three
or
four
victims
that
would
come
into
the
hospital.
T
This
one
young
man
was
able
to
kind
of
change
his
life
around
at
first.
He
was
real
of
resistant
in
working
with
us
inside
of
the
hospital.
So
it
took
a
lot
of
coaching
and
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
narrative
medicine
for
him.
They
even
trust
us.
He
started
trusting
us.
He
moved
out
of
the
neighborhood
got
into
a
facility
that
was
assisting
him
with
finding
his
own
housing.
T
We
utilized
different
services
around
the
Twin
Cities
area,
specifically
because
we
don't
want
our
our
youth
inside
the
city
when
they're
healing
we
would
rather
send
them
outside
of
the
city
so
that
they
won't,
you
know,
get
involved.
This
gentleman
succeeded.
He
got
everything
that
he
needed
in
order.
He
ended
up
getting
our
housing
grant.
He
was
able
to
go
back
to
high
school
two
credits
away
from
graduating
high
school.
His
mother
was
in
prison,
so
he
had
no
parents
I.
Pretty
much
was
his
go-to
called
me.
T
One
day
said:
I
hate
fires,
I
just
want
to
go
check
on
my
aunt
and
little
earth.
He
went
into
little
earth
and
he
never
made
it
out.
He
was
unfortunately
murdered
on
the
steps
of
one
of
the
housing
projects,
one
of
the
buildings
and
little,
and
it
created
the
positive
cancer
right.
So,
like
that's
the
main
thing
that
we
believe
in
as
well,
it's
like,
even
though
there's
one
patient
laying
in
the
bed
that
patient's
life
is
connected
to
a
countless
amount
of
people.
T
So,
even
though
that
young
man
he
lost
his
life
that
day,
there
are
about
30
other
youth
from
little
earth
that
gravitated
towards
me
and
my
program
because
of
the
things
in
other
the
value
that
he
expressed
inside
of
the
community.
It
is
valuable
for
next
step
to
be
implemented
into
the
hospital
systems,
because
for
one,
the
majority
of
these
young
men
are
viewed
as
criminals,
we're
slowly
changing
that
getting
the
hospitals
and
giving
other
entities
and
system
of
systems
to
realize
that
these
young
men
actually
have
potentials.
T
Just
like
the
young
man
that
was
murdered
his
whole
life.
His
was
just
rabbits
with
trauma,
but
he
was
able
to
grasp
on
to
the
concepts
of
next
step
and
changing
his
story
to
change
his
life.
Unfortunately,
he
lost
his
life
in
the
same
environment
that
he
grew
up
there.
That's
just
one
of
the
cases
that
we've
dealt
with.
There
are
many
more
over
the
two
and
a
half
years.
T
We
serviced
over
220
people
by
us,
believing
in
positive
cancer,
it's
more
than
just
the
220
people,
because
those
people
have
visitors
that
come
to
their
rooms.
In
fact,
there
was
a
situation
that
just
occurred
not
too
long
ago,
where
both
men
ended
up
losing
their
life
and
I
didn't
even
have
to
reach
out
to
the
community
that
that
group
of
boys
came
to
my
office
so
one
morning,
I
get
to
the
office
and
there's
two
carloads
for
the
little
guys
outside
of
my
office.
Looking
for
the
help.
T
Looking
for
the
you
know
the
guidance
so
that
they
don't
go
back
outside,
I
retaliate
for
the
situation
that
just
occurred.
This
is
the
situation
that
just
happened
on
26th
and
Emerson,
so
I
got
to
work.
There's
two
carloads
for
the
kids
outside
all
of
them
are
emotional.
All
of
them
are
intoxicated.
T
It
took
every
ounce
of
resource
inside
of
me
to
be
able
to
console
these
gentlemen
to
relax
themselves
and
they
calm
down
now
the
paranoia-
and
the
fear
is
something
that
we're
working
on,
but
we're
developing
these
characteristics
within
these
young
men
so
that
they
are
able
to
become
more
positive
and
productive
citizens
or
they
get
jobs.
They
get
their
GEDs,
they
move
in
a
safe
housing,
they
become
better
fathers,
they
become
better
mothers,
they
become
engaged.
T
A
lot
of
them
are
unfamiliar
with
the
hospital
setting
and
they've
never
been
inside
the
hospital
at
the
level
that
I've
been
bringing
them
inside
of
the
hospital
they
come
in
as
patients.
So
they
only
see
the
staff
that
works
with
them.
They
don't
understand
that
there's
different
levels
of
employment
that
you
can
come
in
as
food
service
and
work
your
way
slowly
to
the
top.
So
by
giving
these
guys
that
outlook,
just
by
being
in
a
hospital,
we
have
been
able
to
change
their
lives
and
I
just
hope
that
we
are
able
to
continue.
T
This
has
definitely
been
making
an
impact.
We
were
just
in
our
the
encampment
yesterday
and,
unfortunately
about
ten
of
my
little
guys
are
living
in
that
encampment
right
now,
so
it
just
goes
to
show
that
how
so
many
issues
are
correlated
in
to.
Why
is
so
violent
in
the
city
right
now,
that's
pretty
much.
What
I
got
to
say:
I
mean
if
you
guys
have
any
questions
for
me,
I'm
more
than
willing
to
answer,
but
just
kind
of
leave
it
at
that.
G
Well,
first
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again.
I
every
time
I
see
you,
I
try
to
gush
on
you
a
little
bit
to
say
thank
you
for
all
that
you
do
and
Sasha.
If
you
could,
please
make
sure
you
extend
my
gratitude
to
the
gvi
folks
as
well.
I
know,
I
know
they
had
to
work
and
I
was
like
I
wanted
to
be
patient
because
I
talked
to
a
whole
bunch
before
so
I'll
just
give
everybody
my
love
right.
Now
we
have.
We.
G
We
they
don't
get
asked
these
kind
of
questions.
They
don't
get
the
opportunity
to
say
all
the
things
that
folks
are
doing
a
lot
of
the
folks
who
are
now
getting
paid
to
do.
It
have
been
doing
it
for
free
for
years
and
it's
necessary
I
believe
for
us,
as
elected
officials,
to
think
beyond
what
it
means
to
be
city
staff.
And
what
does
it
mean
to
be
serving
the
community?
And
what
does
that
look
like?
Because
we
cannot
just
take
for
granted
the
wonderful
amazing
resource
of
folks
like
Margie.
G
M
You,
chair
Connell
and
Thank
You,
fargy
Wow,
and
this
question
is
not
any
way
to
to
be
exploited,
but
you
know
you
mentioned
sill
Jones
and
Sylvester
Jones
and
in
storytelling
I
know
a
lot
of
his
work
is
around
storytelling
and
inhaling
through
the
power
of
storytelling
I'm
curious
because
you're
there.
What?
What
are
some
of
the
reasons
why
these
violent
incidents
happen
like
outside
of
a
bar
just
is
it
old
feud?
Is
it
no.
T
We're
actually
dealing
with
a
lost
generation
right
so
systemically
that's.
Why
commend
the
team
right
helpfully
acknowledging
the
fact
that
this
is
something
that
has
been
going
on
for
years
right?
So
this
is
the
issue
that
started
happening
back
when
I
was
around
nine
or
ten
years
old,
the
gym
my
father
and
his
generation.
They
were
strong
men,
they
wanted
to
work.
T
They
were
military
men,
all
of
the
things
that
America
wanted,
what
America
broke
them
down
and
what
happened
was
those
men
came
back
into
our
communities
broken
and
in
the
system
strategically
made
sure
that
the
men
weren't
at
home?
So
you
have
a
generation
of
young
men
who
turned
to
the
streets
as
their
father
figures
and
unfortunately,
a
lot
of
our
fathers
ended
up
abusing
drugs
or
running
from
their
families,
because
they
couldn't
financially
take
care
of
the
responsibilities
it
broke
down.
T
Our
families
in
the
80s
crack
cocaine
came
in
and
just
took
everybody
that
was
a
leader
away.
All
these
men
are
in
jail.
So
what
it
left
us
with
was
a
bunch
of
young
young
men
raised
by
their
mothers
and
environments
in
which
the
mother's
boyfriend
might
not
value
the
children
as
much
as
the
children's
father
and
encourage
these
young
men
and
start
doing
things
and
Benton
following
behaviors
that
someone's
father
would
not
actually,
you
know,
agree
with,
and
it
created
this.
T
This
generation
of
rebellion
and
emotional
young
men,
in
my
opinion,
when
I
when
I
go
home,
I
speak
to
my
father
and
all
the
individuals
that
he
worked
and
that
he
hangs
with,
and
these
are
guys
that
have
survived
the
silver
right
Sara.
These
are
guys
that
watch
Martin,
Luther
King
get
hit
in
the
back
of
the
head
with
bricks
and
playgrounds,
and
things
like
that
so
they're
they're
damaged
and
then
on
top
of
that
they're
not
able
to
financially
be
in
a
position
to
take
care
of
themselves.
T
So
these
young
men
that
I
have
been
raised
by
their
mothers
have
been
raised
by
their
mothers,
boyfriends
who
the
mom
might
like.
But
the
man
never
gave
these
young
people
any
real
guidance
or
in
fact
they
encourage
them
and
go
wrong.
And
what
happened
is
they
became
more
emotional?
So,
instead
of
a
man,
you
know
the
young
men
using
their
intellect
as
a
way
for
them
to
solve
their
issues.
T
They
started
using
their
emotions
and
that's
actually
one
of
the
things
that
ought
to
say
to
my
young
men,
all
the
time
like
for
us
to
move
through
this
world
and
actually
make
it.
We
have
to
utilize
85%
of
our
intellect
and
the
only
15%
of
our
emotion
as
men
like
I'll,
tell
them
like
that's
how
you're
supposed
to
solve
your
problems.
You
don't
solve
them
with
your
emotions.
You
solve
them
with
your
intellect,
so
we're
slowly
getting
there,
but
that's
pretty
much.
M
T
Pretty
much
what
we're
dealing
with
that's,
why
the
shooters
are
getting
so
much
younger
it's
because
their
parents
are
only
33
and
they're
13
and
14
years
old,
and
then
mom
is
still
going
to
the
nightclub
getting
out
the
nightclub
and
fighting
and
then
posting
it
on
Facebook,
and
then
the
little
kids
think
that
this
is
normal.
That's
that's!
T
What
we're
dealing
with
right
now
so
by
being
in
the
hospital
I,
get
an
opportunity
to
meet
these
young
men
after
they
become
emotional,
after
that
they
kind
of
allowed
themselves
to
get
into
these
situations
now
mind
you.
Some
of
them
are
innocent
victims,
but
a
lot
of
this
stuff
could
be
resolved
if
they
didn't
get
so
emotional.
T
So
we
need
trauma
therapy
mental
health
therapy.
These
young
boys
need
counseling.
They
need
to
learn
how
to
use
their
hands
again.
All
the
trades
are
out
of
the
high
school
so
instead
of
woodshop
instead
of
the
auto
mechanics,
instead
of
all
of
the
things
that
you
would
usually
utilize
your
hands
for,
they
just
go
outside
and
fight
like
in
Henry
high
school.
Their
situation
is
born
right,
now.I,
Henry,
high
school
and
I
think
that
it's
because
they're
not
engaged
enough
inside
of
the
school
where
they
can
actually
learn
how
to
use
their
hands.
H
A
A
U
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
chair
Cano
and
council
members.
My
name
is
Shyam
Bodine
and
I
am
the
internal
services
manager
with
a
city's
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
and
I
am
before
you
today
with
members
from
the
Northside
community
who
have
received
funding
through
the
city's
collaborative
safety
strategies
program
they're
here
to
share
their
program
and
how
their
projects
can
connect
to
the
overall
discussion
on
gun
violence.
Today,.
U
So,
just
just
briefly
on
the
collaborative
safety
strategies
program
is
intended
to
fund
ideas
brought
forward
by
community
members
that
support
making
their
community
safer.
A
total
of
$350,000
was
available
for
2018
in
four
communities
in
Minneapolis,
the
Penn
Avenue
community,
the
Broadway
community,
the
little
earth
community
and
the
Lake
Street
community,
and
today
we're
joined
by
the
North
Side
projects.
U
These
projects,
I
think
from
hearing
the
discussion
today,
you'll
see
how
their
work
really
fits
and
fits
in
with
the
discussion
continues.
The
work
in
really
engaging
with
members
of
the
community
to
prevent
violence
from
occurring
and
also
to
interrupt
and
deter
violence
from
occurring
through
different
events
in
the
community,
but
I
know
members
that
are
here
today,
sat
through
the
presentation
and
do
have
to
get
on
to
other
things.
U
V
V
Obviously
sports
camps,
clinics
and
tournaments,
but
then
we
also
have
a
youth
leadership
portion
of
it
and
now
what
that
does
is
we
we
teach
the
you
know
more
than
just
sports
sports
is
the
way
we
get
the
kids
in
there
and
that's
the
way
we
impact
our
community
I
think
the
way
our
program
helps
with
the
gun.
Violence
is
that
we
conduct
tackle
it
on
a
early
age,
work
very
young
youth,
but
then
also
we
we
deal
with
the
mentality,
change
as
well
and
I'm
gonna.
W
You
very
much
for
your
time
and
support.
So
if
leadership
is
a
program
that
is
built
off
of
something
that
was
instituted
at
North
High,
starting
in
2013-14
or
a
specific
program,
that's
about
developing
vision,
focus
and
mindset
was
introduced
to
the
North
High
basketball
team
when
they
were
in
last
place
when
the
school
had
only
165
students-
and
it
was
a.
It
is
a
program
that
does
develop
of
internal
skills
and
attitudinal
shifts
that
ended
up.
W
Not
only
helping
the
boys
go
from
worst
to
first
to
state
champions,
but
also
help
the
boys
go
to
a
team
that
had
a
95%
graduation
rate
and
75
to
80%
of
the
boys
on
the
A
&
B
honor
roll.
So
it
gets
in
and
changes
a
mindset
and
gives
them
tools
to
actually
change
physiologically,
and
this
curriculum
discovery
of
self.
Having
worked
with
varsity
coach
and
then
with
Mike.
W
We
then
translated
that
into
something
called
athlete
Ursa
that
used
the
boys,
because
everybody
looks
up
to
athletes
as
role
models,
and
we
thought
we
got
very
potent
agents
of
change
if
you
can
get
him
in
high
school
and
get
the
ones
that
everybody
looks
up
to
to
start
teaching
younger
kids.
So
we
started
off
with
just
five
North
High
athletes
in
2016,
working
with
70
youth
ages,
4
to
14,
and
we
did
that
the
second
year
it
expanded.
W
And
then
we
heard
about
this
grant
that
if
we
could
do
a
new
body
of
work
with
an
athlete
ership,
then
we
would
be
eligible
for
the
funding.
So
we
added
new
components
to
athlete
ership,
which
involved
the
boys
taking
on
more
of
a
leadership
role
were
not
just
eating
where
they
were
just
not
teaching.
W
They
were
not
just
teaching
youth
the
elements
of
this
discovery
of
self
curriculum,
but
they
were
teaching
their
peers
and
that
we
were
then
hosting
public
programs
that
were
also
inviting
the
community
to
North
Minneapolis
and
using
these
boys
as
spokespeople
of
change.
So
we
this
year
had
13
athlete
errs
from
Patrick
Henry
and
North
High
worked
with
over
170
youth
and
peers
over
five
weeks.
They
impacted
that
many
kids
and
you
can
see
from
the
booklet.
W
You
have
the
impact
statements
where
one
of
the
kids
in
ninth
grade
said
that
if
it
wasn't
for
athlete
a
ship
he'd
be
out
on
the
streets
getting
into
trouble
on
the
back.
There's
someone
who's
now
in
college,
saying
that,
because
of
the
program
he
after
engaging
in
it
was
two
years
consecutively
on
the
B
honor
roll
and
two
years
consecutively
and
athletics,
all
division
in
all-conference,
Odell
Wilson,
who
couldn't
stay
because
this
went
longer
than
we
thought,
has
two
sons
at
North
High
and
is
a
supervisor
of
probation
officer.
W
So
he
knows
the
criminal
justice
system.
He
knows
that
they
live
in
North
Minneapolis
and
he
can
also
vouch
for
the
fact
that
out
of
the
whole
school,
the
boys,
basketball
team,
outperformed
everybody
academically
and
in
graduation
rates
and
has
become
kind
of
a
collaborator
support
nor
partner
in
trying
to
introduce
more
of
this
programmatic
element.
So
we
have
a
combination
of
a
curriculum
that
I
do
want
to
speak.
W
Also
to
this
idea
of
narrative,
the
narrative
approach
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
somebody's
story
about
themselves
and
about
reality
is
incredibly
powerful
and
predictive
of
decisions
they're
going
to
make
in
a
path
they're
gonna
go
and
what
we
do
is
introduce
a
very
new
view
based
on
science
based
on
cultural
teachings.
That
challenges
their
view
of
what
reality
is
and
challenges
their
assumptions
about
who
they
are,
and
what
they're
capable
of
this
program
is
about.
W
You've
heard
we
only
use
five
or
ten
percent
of
our
brain
mind
capacity,
and
this
is
about
how
do
you
access
more
and
they
are
all
now.
You
know
in
high
school
and
now
in
college,
able
to
articulate
how
you
develop
more
of
who
you
are
to
impact
change
in
your
own
life
and
in
the
life
of
your
community,
and
they
grow
these
boys
by
teaching
others.
W
Shooting
one
was
his
cousin
and
they
could
come
because
we
worked
five
days
a
week
in
North
Minneapolis
at
four
sites,
and
they
knew
they
had
to
show
up
and
they
knew
that
this
was
an
opportunity
to
turn
negatives
into
positives
and
that's
one
of
the
things
they
learn.
How
to
do,
and
one
of
our
events
that
you'll
see
there's
a
little
flyer
and
there
was
a
t-shirt
tie-dye
party
and
we
called
it
peace
to
tie-dye
for
and
it
invited
people
from
all
over
to
come
and
tie-dye
t-shirts
that
had
on
the
back.
W
If
you
want
peace,
make
it
and
what
part
of
what
they've
learned
in
their
you
know.
Programming
new
programming
was
that
you
can
turn
any
negative
into
a
positive
if
you've
got
the
right
mindset
and
understand
how
to
kind
of
you
know,
leverage
yourself
in
a
new
direction.
So
these
boys,
who
would
have
been
overwhelmed
and
with
a
desire
for
revenge,
realize
that
you
know
what
you
always
have
a
choice
and
they
chose
to
want
to
take
whatever
pain
they
had
and
direct
it
towards
creating
more
positivity
and
being
a
statement
about
what's
possible.
W
If
you
move
in
a
new
direction.
So
we
feel
that
by
working
with
the
athletes,
we
have
very
powerful
spokespeople
and
we
are
growing
that
too
in
impact
young
people,
their
peers
and
change
the
narrative
of
their
own
lives
and
the
way
people
look
at
North
Minneapolis.
So
I
want
to.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
interest
in
support.
I
just
want
to
say
that
my
first
four
years
at
North,
High
and
Patrick
Henry
were
pro
bono
and
the
first
two,
with
at
leadership
as
well
and
because
of
the
support
from
the
city.
X
Good
afternoon
members,
my
name
is
Cory
Dean
I
am
the
founder
and
the
executive
director
of
the
man
up
Club,
the
men
at
Club,
started
five
years
ago
in
North,
st.
Paul
high
school
I
was
a
student
advocate
for
500
african-american
students
and,
as
a
result
of
being
a
student
advocate,
I
designed
the
program
based
on
the
needs
of
the
students
that
I
thought
faced.
The
most
challenges,
which
turned
out
to
be
african-american
males
we've
been
operating
our
program
for
the
past
five
years.
The
last
two
years
we've
been
in
North
Minneapolis.
X
The
program
initially
started
as
an
after-school
program
that
was
just
based
on
a
stipend
for
me,
as
a
student
advocate
and
being
able
to
provide
services
for
young
men
meeting
with
them.
After
that,
I
saw
a
greater
need
within
the
community
with
these
young
men,
and
so
therefore,
we
developed
a
501
C
3
and
develop
the
men
of
club
as
a
nonprofit
organization.
X
Our
goal
in
the
men
of
club
is,
we
do
several
things.
One
of
the
things
that
we
do
is
we
teach
life
skills,
social
skills
and
academic
discipline,
as
well
as
civic
responsibilities.
Those
are
the
four
pillars
of
our
program.
In
addition
to
that,
our
goal
and
our
mission
number
one
is
to
have
african-american
males
who
are
in
our
program
to
graduate
from
high
school,
in
addition
to
staying
out
of
the
Prison
Pipeline
and
then
finally,
going
on
to
college
or
a
vocational
or
some
type
of
career.
X
We
typically
serve
as
young
men,
who
typically
wouldn't
join
your
year,
for
example
your
YMCAs
or
your
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
We
deal
with
young
men
who
have
very
extenuating
circumstances.
80%
of
the
young
men
that
we
serve
are
fatherless.
The
gentleman
spoke
about
that
earlier,
which
is
a
tragedy
some
of
our
young
men
arguing
affiliated
as
well
as
young
men
who
have
been
abandoned
and
abused.
So
we
work
with
that
direct
population.
X
Our
program
consists
of
every
Thursday
night.
The
first
thing
that
we
do
is
we
sit
down
with
these
young
men
and
we
have
dinner
the
reason
that
we
do.
That
is
because
number
one
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
at
least
get
some
type
of
nutrition
when
they're
a
part
of
the
man
up
club
and
then
also
to
be
able
to
have
conversations
and
provide
a
family
setting
in
which
some
of
these
young
men
typically
would
not
get
you'd.
X
X
We
do
outreach
events
such
as
the
man
up
Minneapolis,
which
is
an
event
that
we
do
in
the
Hawthorn
neighborhood
right
in
front
on
Broadway
right
in
front
of
McDonald's
and
Family
Dollar.
We've
done
two
of
these
events,
where
we've
provided
young
men
with
free
suits.
We
provided
young
men
with
haircuts
we've
connected
with
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
to
have
police
officers,
come
out
and
have
dialogue
with
these
young
men
that
are
outside
of
performing
any
type
of
arrest
or
respond
responding
to
any
type
of
emergency.
X
Just
so
that
we
can
create
a
positive
relationship
between
young
african-american
men
and
the
police
department.
We
also
we've
invited.
We
also
invited
out
a
hundred
fathers
that
would
come
out
and
we
provide
a
tent
for
a
hundred
fathers
to
come
out
and
just
simply
give
hugs
to
young
men,
because
we
believe
that
young
men
just
simply
need
to
be
loved
on
also
what
we
do
is
we
recruit
young
men.
We
use
that
to
recruit
them,
and
so
with
this
particular
man
at
Minneapolis
event,
we
have
700
people
who
came
out
from
the
community.
X
There
was
no
violence,
we
give
gave
a
message
of
basically
peace,
love
in
hope
to
the
community.
We
operate
with
several
different
collaborative
partners.
The
reason
I
started.
The
nonprofit
was
so
that
we
could
expand.
We
could
partner
with
local
businesses,
as
well
as
other
nonprofits
who
serve
as
youth
in
addition
to
partnering
with
schools
as
well
as
churches.
We've
had
the
opportunity
department
with
Hawthorne
Hawthorne,
Neighborhood,
Council,
West,
Broadway
coalition,
solo
grocery
store,
as
well
as
Saints,
we're
at
Covenant,
Church,
The,
Herald,
Mozilla,
YMCA,
u.s.
X
Bank
Sherman
and
associates
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
so
on,
as
well
as
city
united,
one
of
the
things
that
we
focus
on
within
the
man-up
Club.
That's
more
specific
to
why
I'm
here,
to
speak
briefly
to
you
in
regards
to
reduction
of
gun
violence.
Is
our
program
is
very
strategic.
One
of
the
things
that
we
do
is
we
engage
in
men.
We
provide
a
structure,
a
structured
environment
that
is
relevant
to
these
young
men.
Our
recruitment
is
not
hard
because
young
men
understand
what
our
mission
is.
X
X
The
other
thing
is
that
we
mentor
young
men
on
conflict
resolution.
This
is
a
something
that's
very
imperative
to
the
work
that
we
do
to
reduce
gun
violence,
basically
being
able
to
mentor
young
men
and
conflict
resolution
allows
them
basically
to
deter
batali
a
ssin
we
have
like,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
we
have
young
men
who
were
getting
affiliated.
There
were
a
couple
of
young
men
who
were
killed,
who
were
friends
of
young
men
who
were
in
our
program
as
a
direct
result
of
us
talking
with
them
and
being
able
to
deter
them
from
retaliation.
X
We
were
able
to
prevent
a
murder,
several
murders
which
saves
number
one,
the
community
money.
It
saves
the
city
money
and
so
on.
The
ripple
effects.
We
also
the
process
of
reducing
gun
violence
is
we
process.
We
allow
the
young
men
to
process
their
grief,
as
well
as
their
pain
through
coping
mechanism.
We
use
it
as
a
coping
mechanism
and
basically
to
process
their
feelings
and
their
emotions
is
basically
two
determinants.
We
have
what
is
called
a
healing
circle
with
the
young
men
what
we
meet
with
them
every
week.
X
They
talk
about
the
issues
and
the
struggles
that
they
have:
the
abandonment,
the
abuse
that
even
comes
from
within
their
own
household,
not
just
community,
but
even
things
that
happen
within
their
own
household
and
for
these
young
men
to
be
able
to
process
the
trauma
that
they've
gone
through.
It
allows
them
to
be
able
to
cope
outside
of
you
know
their
typical
circumstances
that
they
may
have
our
outcomes.
We
have
several
outcomes,
many
of
the
young
men
that
we
have
have
been
on
to
college.
X
We
have
one
young
man
in
particular,
who
has
gone
on
to
North,
Dakota
University,
and
he
has
enrolled
in
an
aviation
program
and
he's
graduated
from
that
program
and
he's
a
product
of
the
men
of
club.
There
is
also
another
young
man
who
attended
an
HBCU
historical
black
college
that
but
thrown
Cookman,
who
just
recently
graduated
and
came
back
and
spoke
to
our
other
young
men
within
the
program
and
he
majored
in
computer
information
systems.
X
X
So
the
work
that
we
do
within
the
man
up
Club
is
very
significant.
We
don't
have
speakers
come
in.
We
get
speakers
who
are
professionals
and
speakers
who
have
achieved
a
lot
in
their
lives.
However,
the
speakers
that
we
have
that
frequent,
our
young
man,
we
want
them
to
come
in
and
talk
about
their
struggles.
We
want
them
to
talk
about
their
pains
and
how
they've
overcome
things,
because
these
are
the
things
that
our
young
men
can
identify
with.
X
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
consideration
and
to
let
you
know
that
the
dollars
that
you're
putting
behind
these
programs
are
very
significant
and
it's
is
really
imperative
to
continue
to
partner.
Not
just
with
you
know,
police
departments
and
in
law
enforcement
and
things
of
that
nature.
But
to
really
empower
leaders
within
the
community
who
are
on
the
ground
boots
on
the
ground
that
are
connecting.
X
U
Y
Again,
my
name
is
Ciara
Carter
I'm,
the
founder
of
the
Zenden,
we're
a
holistic
wellness
brand
on
Northside
base
and
shout
out
to
our
councilman,
but
we
provided
intentional
programming
to
facilitate
prevention
and
just
disruption
from
violence.
So
we
provide
safe
space
pop-ups,
and
so
we
do
a
lot
of
healing
circles
from
healing
childhood
trauma
to
providing
healing
circles
facilitated
by
a
mental
health
therapist
for
victims
of
abuse,
so
gun
violence
as
well
as
sexual
abuse
and
things
of
that
nature.
Y
We
also
do
yoga
in
the
park,
so
it's
super
cool
because
we
literally
unpin
garden.
We
had
to
pop
up
and
we
just
do
bring
a
bunch
of
yoga
mats
out
and
we
call
all
the
guys
in
the
corner
and
they
actually
come
and
participate
if
they
don't
want
to
participate
in
yoga,
they'll
actually
just
keep
their
eyes
open
for
us
and
I'm
sure
they're,
just
you
know,
enjoying
the
music
as
well,
but
we
bring
nice
loud
speakers
bring
our
music
and
just
make
it
relatable
and
yeah.
Y
Z
Lot
of
the
people
who
migrated
to
us
are
young
female,
so
I
think
it
is
nice
to
give
the
message
of
different
term
different
ways
of
dealing
with
conflict,
because
you
know
growing
up
on
the
north
side
as
I
know,
you
learn
that
very
early
age
when
you
have
a
conflict.
The
first
thing
you
do
is
take
it
outside.
You
know
saying
you
deal
with
it
with
your
fists,
you
never
talking
about.
It,
isn't
even
an
option
that
you're
giving
so
when
a
woman
grows
up
and
she
has
a
conflict
with
a
man.
Z
Her
first
instinct
is
to
call
another
young
man
that
she
knows
so
now.
This
young
man
is
gonna,
get
up
and
deal
with
a
conflict
that
isn't
even
his
own
and
he
might
risk
his
own
life
for
it.
So
that's
really
important
and
where
our
yoga
classes
I
think
it's
really
important
to
show
the
youth
that
other
people
really
value
your
community.
Z
You
know
because
people
live
in
these
spaces
that
they
don't
necessarily
like,
but
we
give
people
different
things
that
they
can
do
and
then
hopefully
that
will
internally
affect
them
to
be
like,
oh
well.
They
value
in
my
community,
maybe
I
should
too
as
well.
You
know
maybe
keep
it
a
little
bit
more
safe
for
the
younger
people.
So
that's
basically
the
main
goals
of
our
programming
and.
Y
AA
Excuse
me,
the
afternoons
I
was
at
Nellie,
stone,
Johnson
and
part
of
what
I
am
doing,
and
what
I
bring
to
this
collaboration
is
resurrecting
verbal
judo,
something
that
I
was
trained
in
some
years
ago,
that
the
Mall
of
America
had
the
good
sense
to
recognize
that,
in
terms
of
security
coming
into
the
Mall
of
America,
that
they
needed
some
layers
prior
to
the
Bloomington
Police
prior
to
the
Mall
of
America
security,
and
that
was
what
we
then
defined
as
the
mighty
moms
and
the
money
dads.
Because
again
we
knew
the
kids.
AA
We
came
from
the
neighborhood
and
we
were
able
to
diffuse
many
more
things
before
they
escalated
with
that,
but
also
dealing
with
our
etiquette
and
there's
some
folks.
That
would
say
why
etiquette
well,
it's
etiquette
from
a
number
of
positions,
it's
more
than
just
table
manners
and
saying
thank
you
and
please,
but
it's
also
dealing
with
the
system
that
we
are
dealing
with.
Sometimes
it's
contrary
to
what
they're
used
to
while
we're,
also
speaking
to
there's
more
to
life
than
North
Minneapolis.
AA
We
talked
about
vocab.
One
of
the
things
that
I
start
with
too
is
I.
Tell
them
that
through
my
lens,
in
my
experience,
it
wasn't
as
though
we
didn't
result
to
fisticuffs,
but
if
me
and
councilmember
Cunningham
got
into
it,
he
got
the
best
of
me.
I
didn't
run
home
and
get
Pookie
and
Mama
and
them
and
come
back
and
try
to
kill
him,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
things,
because
I
want
them
to
recognize
that
what
they're
involved
with
and
subjected
to,
isn't
isolated
and
only
specific
to
them.
AA
But
from
my
experiences,
was
a
different
way
of
dealing
with
things,
so
we're
going
into
Phase
two
starting
on
Monday
and
part
of
that
will
be
home
visits
as
well
as
a
continuation.
One
of
the
reasons
I
started
in
the
summer
is
because
I
wanted
to
start
the
program
with
scholars
that
I
would
ultimately
be
exposed
to
in
the
fall,
and
so
those
scholars
came
from
both
franklin
nelly,
stone
and
lucy,
Laney
and
so
phase
2
will
be
specific
to
Lucy,
Laney
and
again
we're
starting
that
next
week.
Actually,
why
are
you?
Clapping
counts?
M
You,
chair,
Cano,
I,
don't
I,
know
we're
going
way
over
our
time
and
I
don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
time.
But
it's
what
I
acknowledge
that
you
know
all
of
all
of
these
really
great
programs
that
aren't
happening
in
our
community.
You
know
it's,
it's
not
separate.
We
are
with
one
community
and
and
they're
all
the
work
that
you
guys
are
doing
is
just
as
important,
if
not
more
important
than
the
work
that
we
are
able
to
accomplish
here
on
the
council.
U
Thanks
and
just
to
wrap
up,
I
did
want
to
highlight
on
the
slide
that
we
have
there's
a
lot
happening
on
Penn
in
Nova
or
in
October.
Lots
of
things
happening.
The
first
two
events
are
movie
night
in
the
garden
and
a
harvest
festival.
That's
one
of
the
partners
in
the
Penn
project,
the
fall
well
Neighborhood
Association,
and
then
the
subsequent
events
below
that
is
happening
at
the
new
rules.
Event
Center
they're,
also
a
partner
in
the
program
and
a
community
member
in
partnership
with
juxtaposition
and
Lucy
Laney
will
be
doing
a
mural.
U
This
fall
with
the
students,
so
that's
one
additional
thing:
that's
happening
through
the
pen
projects
and
we're
right
in
the
middle
of
the
current
funding
cycle.
Right
now,
and
as
you
can
see,
lots
of
things
are
happening.
I
also
would
like
to
note
that
with
the
little
earth
and
Lake
Street
projects
very
similar,
great
work
is
happening
and
I
would
say
each
project
has
been
successful
and
are
doing
the
work
on
schedule
and
things
are
going
really
well.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
so
I
don't
see
any
further
questions
on
this
portion
of
the
agenda.
Thank
you
so
much
to
all
the
community
leaders
who
took
time
out
of
their
day
to
be
here
and
to
help
inform
us
about
the
strategies,
the
creative
strategies
that
you're
leading
on
the
ground
to
help
us
address.
What
you
see
is
a
very
complex,
multifaceted
issue.
A
We
are
going
to
come
summer,
Cunningham
and
I
conferred
here
together
and
we're
gonna
continue
to
dig
deeper
by
referring
this
discussion
to
the
next
will
not
to
the
next
actually
to
the
Peace
Committee
on
the
15th.
So
the
action
here
will
be
to
refer
this
discussion
on
gun
violence,
gun
violence
to
the
public,
health,
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee
scheduled
for
1:30
p.m.
on
Monday
October
15th.
A
So
we
can
have
the
next
two
weeks
or
so
to
craft
some
ideas
and
take
action
on
addressing
the
gun
violence
in
our
community
through
the
different
ways
that
we've
discussed
today.
So
we're
going
to
continue
this
discussion
there.
So
I
will
put
forward
that
motion
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
and
that
passes.
A
Thank
you.
So
much
for
being
here
we're
going
to
move
to
the
next
portion
of
our
agenda
today
and
we'll
be
in
touch
about
continued
conversations
on
this
item.
Number
two
for
today
is
the
mope
mobile
integrated
healthcare
project,
which
is
a
presentation
by
our
Minneapolis
Fire
Department
and
our
special
guests
today.
So
thank
you
also
for
your
patience.
We
did
not
anticipating
having
a.
We
didn't
anticipate
going
so
long
on
this
topic.
It
is
very
important,
so
I'm
glad
we're
doing
it,
but
go
ahead.
Please
Jim.
AB
Come
on
I
kind
of
committee
members.
Thank
you.
Am
I
John
Peel
fire
chief
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
give
you
a
quick
update
on
their
mobile,
integrated
health
care.
You
know,
I
was
listening
over
here,
it's
kind
of
interesting
to
talk
about
what
others
have
done
within
the
community
and
a
lot
of
the
stuff
that
done
special
mr.
Shi.
Here
you
talk
to
her,
that's
his
passion
he
has
to
what
he
does.
That
truly
is
a
definition
of
the
integrated
health
care.
AB
I
mean
whether
it
be
a
mental
health,
physical
health
or
their
own
environment.
You
know
if
we
can
get
people
connected
to
the
service
they
need
to
get
in
helping
need
that
truly
is
integration
of
care
and
I.
Think
that's
what
we're
all
trying
to
it.
Trying
to
achieve
here,
you
know
with
us:
I
do
have
a
PowerPoint
a
probably
to
go
off-script
and
probably
just
talk
a
little
bit
and
keep
it
as
brief,
as
can
out
of
respect
for
time
of
our
other
colleagues
here.
AB
But
you
know
we
are,
we
are,
as
you
know,
we
are
a
little
bit.
Historically,
we've
got
19
fire
station
where
24
hour
shifts
one
of
the
shifts
as
it
works
at
48.
You
know
we're
so
tje
located
you
know,
and
and
so
we
do
provide
quality
service,
especially
first
in
ALS,
support
to
Hennepin,
County,
Medical,
Center
and
also
North
memorial
on
the
north
side,
so
we're
very,
very
busy
Fire
Department.
They
work
very
hard
in
and
to
back
up
just
a
little
bit.
A
few
years
ago
we
talked
about
what
we
can
do.
AB
We
start
talking
about
what
change
the
Queen
make
in
our
in
our
system
and
how
that
would
look,
especially
when
we
start
the
conversation
about
about
the
Affordable
Care
Act
and
the
impact
that
that
was
going
to
have
on
communities.
You
know,
through
that
we
got
into
a
project
data
project
that
was
interneuron
doing
community
community,
EMT
or
community
home
visits
of
qualifying
patients.
AB
We
did
that
for
a
number
of
years
we
were
in
and
quite
frankly,
which
has
now
led
to
the
evolution
of
the
community
EMT
legislation
and
process
that
still
we,
my
deputy
chief
lage,
was
was
here
earlier,
had
to
leave.
Unfortunately,
she
is
still
fully
engaged
with
that
to
me,
working
in
that
being
led
by
chief
coring
in
st.
Louis
Park,
so
community
MT
is,
is
just
a
part
of
the
mobile
integrated
health
care
system
and
I.
Think
that
it's
something
that
we
certainly
will
expand
to
and
be
a
part
of.
AB
AB
Louis
Park
I'm
in
a
talk
and
Minneapolis
were
initially
involved
with
that
and
when
as
an
innovative
program,
and
it
had
proved
that
it
can
certainly
work
and
can
certainly
start
to
bend
and
look
at
the
bend
the
cost
curve
and
really
start
to
integrate
our
health
care
and,
ultimately
to
in
terms
of
that,
to
try
to
minimize
some
of
the
remittance
rates
that
we
have
and
all
of
the
other
issues
that
people
face.
So
they
I'm
really
getting
connected
to
the
the
appropriate
medical
attention
they
need.
AB
You
know
so
that
ik
that
continues
on
which
then
led
us
to.
Obviously,
our
which
we're
very
proud
of
is
our
EMS
academy.
You
know
now
we
take
young
adults
within
the
inner
city
and
give
them
an
opportunity
to
to
look
at
Explorer,
possibly
a
career
in
a
fire
service
end
or
emergency
in
Merton
mearns
as
EMTs
or
possibly
occur
in
impaired
medicine
or
order
they
may
choose.
We
are
going
to
I'm,
probably
going
to
say
when
and
graduate
another
class
tonight
at
six
o'clock,
another
class
of
22
of
the
classes
that
we've
graduated.
AB
AB
They've
gone
a
long
ways
to
identify
the
process
and
finalize
the
process
and
us
being
being
able
to.
If
we
do
a
scheduled
visit
of
a
patient
that
we
will
be
there
also,
but
not
only
are
we
going
to
help
and
to
identify
the
the
medical
or
the
needs
that
that
patient
probably
has,
but
there
will
be
some
identified
reimbursement
process
for
the
department.
So
it's
something
that
a
lot
of
departments
are
involved
with.
AB
We
all
want
to
get
engaged
in
and
I
think
it
wills
that
moves
forwards,
that
that's
very,
very
exciting
for
us
all.
So
long
with
that
we're
gonna
continue
our
support
of
certainly
of
Ankeny
and
discussions
with
Hennepin
County
Medical
Center
on
the
next
evolution
of
what
that
looks
like
not
only
that
community
EMT
and
doing
some
work
within
in
patients
that
are
in
their
system,
but
also
working
on
and
looking
at
how
we
may
evolve
in
how
our
EMS
model
at
heart
may
look
different
in
the
future.
AB
We
are
going
to
continue
that
chief
Lynch
was
unable
to
be
here
with
us
today.
So
I
regret
that
she's,
not
here
with
us
today,
but
I,
do
know
that
we
are
going
to
continue.
Those
discussions,
I
think,
are
very
positive
discussions
about
how
that
how
that's
going
to
look
and
how
many
integrated
healthcare
and
especially
mobile
integrated
health
care,
is
going
to
look
at
how
response
model
can
change
for
us,
as
we
all
know,
there's
a
lot
of
expense
in
the
model
that
we
have
now
sending
fire
trucks.
AB
That
I've
talked
about
that
on
a
lot
of
our
responses.
So
I
think
when
we
start
looking
at
that
overall,
this
approach
to
this
we're
going
to
look
at
some
immediate
savings,
I
think
we're
going
to
realize,
probably
prior
to
us,
seeing
the
the
actual
revenue
generation
I
think
we're
initially
going
to
see
actual
savings
as
this
starts
to
evolve.
Now,
when
we
look
at
community
EMT-
and
we
talked
to
our
list
of
some
other,
the
presenters
today
talk
about
how
their
program
started.
Two
years
ago,
I
started
talking
about
community
and
T.
AB
M
You
councilmember
Fletcher
I,
don't
necessarily
have
a
question,
but
I
just
want
to
comment
and
I'm
very
much
looking
forward
to
joining
you
guys
this
evening
at
the
emt
graduation,
I'm
really
happy
to
to
celebrate
with
Ward
8
resident,
who
is
graduating
is
this
evening
and
but
all
of
the
graduates
and
just
commend
you
guys
on
this
great
program.
So
thank
you.
H
So
I'll
put
myself
in
queue
to
thank
you
for
presenting.
This
is
obviously
something
we've
been
talking
about
and
and
spending
some
time
on
and
I
think
it's
you
know
really
exciting.
I
know
this
meeting
ran
a
little
long
and
we're
maybe
not
given
this
the
full
attention
that
it
deserves
today.
I
think
it
speaks
very
well
of
our
city
that
when
you
ask
the
question,
what
are
we
doing
about
gun
violence?
The
answer
has
more
than
two
hours
long,
but
I.
H
Don't
think
any
of
us
quite
understood
that
coming
into
the
meeting,
but
I
do
just
you
know.
I
do
just
want
to
say
and
to
give
our
colleagues
a
little
bit
of
a
preview
of
councilmember,
Cunningham
and
I
have
introduced
a
notice
of
intent
on
an
ordinance
that
does
something
fairly
simple,
but
but
it's
sort
of
enabling
for
for
the
work
being
contemplated
here
in
terms
of
mobile
health
integration.
When
we
went
back
and
looked
when
we
heard
chief
Friedel
talking
about
some
of
those
ideas
around,
how
do
we
make
more
appropriate
responses?
H
We
went
back
and
looked
at
the
ordinance
and,
and
it
actually
doesn't
reference
authorizing
anything
related
to
a
medical
response
or
in
fact,
some
of
the
rescue
functions
that
we
obviously
all.
If
you
asked
who
does
that
in
the
city,
we
would
definitely
say
the
fire
department,
but
our
ordinance
doesn't
say
that
so
we're
catching
it
up
to
make
sure
that
that
you're
fully
authorized
to
move
forward
with
this
kind
of
a
pilot,
because
I
think
you
know
the
work
that
you're
contemplating
is
very
important.
H
G
You
just
as
a
quick
note
as
the
co-author
on
on
this
ordinance
change
and
having
worked
with
you
on
this
and
I'm
just
so
grateful
for
your
leadership.
This
was
something
that
I
have
supported
for
quite
some
time
and
really
wanted
to
support
you
and
the
team
to
be
able
to
make
that
come
to
life
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
it
happening.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
Thank
you
all
for
your
leadership
and
I
look
forward
to
thank
you.
A
All
right
sounds
great,
so
that
is
a
receiving
file.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Alright,
we're
going
down
to
our
last
and
third
item,
which
is
well.
It's
item
number
seven
and
the
agenda.
This
is
a
report
from
the
office
of
police
conduct
review
on
their
annual
report.
So
thank
you
so
much
director,
Imani
Jaffar
for
patiently
waiting
here
for
us
and
for
your
team
as
well.
Mr.
Carvelle,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here,
I
appreciate
it.
I
know
this
is
taking
a
while.
AC
AC
AC
My
intake
investigator
Gabriel
Ramirez,
who
is
the
one
who
processes
every
single
complaint
and
we
thought
it
would
be
best
for
you
to
hear
from
him
since
he's
closest
to
the
work,
will
also
go
through
complaint
outcomes,
disciplinary
outcomes,
OPC
RP,
COC
analysis
projects
and
I.
Have
my
legal
analyst
Ryan
Patrick
here
with
me
today
to
present
that
we'll
just
go
through
some
brief
updates
on
projects.
We've
worked
on
and
looking
ahead
for
really
2019
and
closeout
of
2018.
So
with
that
I
will
invite
up
Gabriel
Ramirez.
L
Thank
You,
director
Jaffar,
chair
Cano
council
members
good
afternoon,
bear
with
me
I
know
it's
been
a
pretty
long
day
for
you.
I'll
try
to
get
through
this
as
concisely
as
I.
Possibly
can
again.
My
name
is
Giovanna
meatus
and
I'm.
The
intake
investigator
for
the
office
of
police
conduct,
review
and
I'm
here
today
to
talk
to
you
about
the
tremendous
increase
the
number
of
complaints
received
by
our
office
and
the
corollary
impact
on
complaint
processing.
L
So
that's
one
feature
of
what
I
do
another
is
that
I
assist
people
with
filing
complaints,
but
perhaps
the
most
important
job
duty
that
I
have
aside
from
that
is
that
I
gather
information
in
relation
to
the
campaign.
Complaints.
Everything
from
these
reports
dispatch
logs
to
body
cam,
video
I,
gather
all
the
information,
as
it
relates
to
the
complaints
I
then
presented
to
the
joint
supervisors,
so
that
they
can
make
it
a
decision
about
the
disposition
of
those
complaints.
One
little
note
about
evidence,
gathering
or
gathering
this
information.
L
L
Okay,
so,
as
I
mentioned
before,
there's
been
a
tremendous
increase
in
number
of
complaints
filed
over
the
past
year,
I
going
back
to
quarter
for
2017
is
when
we
noticed
this
trend
initially
and
we're
looking
at
about
600
complaints
this
year.
Now
it's
a
partial
projection.
We
don't
have
all
the
quarters
in
yet
obviously
quarter
four
has
not
come
in
quarter.
L
A
B
You,
madam
chair
I'm,
just
going
back
to
that
previous
slide.
I
won't
ask
you
to
try
and
tell
us
why
that
would
be.
But
could
you
speak
to
a
little
bit
of
that
ways
that
that
PC
OSI
has
become
more
visible
or
like
things
that
might
drive
people
to
utilize
this
as
a
recourse
or
different
kinds
of
promotions
that
you
maybe
have
or
haven't
done
I'm
just
looking
for
the
context
around
things
that
could
have
made
these
things
happen.
L
L
L
L
L
L
Quarter,
1
of
this
year,
131
complaints
against
63
from
the
preceding
year
accorded
to
178
against
102
from
the
preceding
year.
I
forgot
to
mention
that
in
quarter,
one
I
was
actually
a
doubling
a
number
of
complaints
received.
If
you
notice
that
also
quarter
2
of
this
year
is
actually
the
highest
number
of
complaints
we've
ever
received,
which
means
I'm
very
busy.
So
we
have
that
quarter,
which
was
extremely
high
and
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
this
is
showing
that
there's
a
trend
of
these
tremendous
increases
from
quarter
to
quarter.
L
So
it's
not
just
an
anomaly,
not
just
one
quarter,
but
it's
very
consistent,
see
that
again
in
quarter
three,
like
I
said
before
we
have
130.
Technically
it
still
we've
kind
of
projected.
What
that
will
eventually
look
like
after
this
months
over
we're
thinking
about
135
and
again,
we
received
only
93
the
year
before.
L
So
one
other
metric
to
gauges
by
is
basically
the
average,
as
you
can
see
here,
70s
what
we
typically
get
in
quarter.
1
it's
about
131
is
what
we
received.
This
quarter,
94
quarter,
278
104
4
quarter
3
is
the
average
135
is
what
we're
thinking
we'll
get
in
103
is
what
we
already
have
95
for
quarter.
4
is
the
average
and
we're
projections.
Look
like
we'll
get
151
so
now
that
I've
established
that
there's
been
these
tremendous
increases
that
have
occurred
over
the
past
year.
L
What's
the
effect
on
complaint
processing,
for
instance
and
I
believe
the
next
slide
shows
us
pretty
well
so
in
2016,
it
took
me
because
I
started
in
2016
took
me
ten
days
to
complete
an
intake
investigation
by
2017.
There
was
a
decent
increased
number
of
complaints
received.
It
has
now
increased
twofold
by
2018.
The
time
it
takes
me
to
gather
all
the
information
as
I
mentioned
before,
is
now
six-fold
of
what
it
was
back
in
2016.
L
Now
it's
very
easy
to
point
to
the
increase
and
think
it's
solely
attributable
to
the
complaint
increases
themselves,
which
is
definitely
an
important
factor.
But
what,
as
I
mentioned
before
I
think
an
even
more
important
or
just
as
important
factor,
is
the
introduction,
the
implementation
and
greater
usage
of
body
camera.
So
if
you
look
at
2016,
there
was
a
rollout
done
at
all
the
precincts
by
the
end
of
that
year
and
the
intake
investigation.
The
time
it
took
to
do
an
intake
investigation
only
took
ten
days
by
2017.
L
We
have
already
had
a
complete
rollout
in
2016
and
now
complaint
processing
at
the
intake
level
it
has
taken
is
twice
that
what
it
took
in
2016
in
2018
I
believe
that
MPD
audits,
to
ensure
greater
usage
of
body
cam
footage
is
has
made,
and
it
has
studies
have
shown
done
by
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
There
is
an
increased
usage
of
body
camera,
and
so
that
has
also
a
corollary
effect
and
that
complaints
also
have
more
video
attached
to
them
and
so
I
think.
L
L
Also
forgot
to
mention
that
it's
not
just
at
the
intake
phase
that
we're
seeing
this
kind
of
impact
I
believe
the
impact
is
also
it's
felt
at
all
levels,
pretty
much
of
complaint
processing.
So
our
video
analyst
Ryan
Frandsen
has
to
call
or
gather
all
this
video
I
have
then
at
the
intake
process,
go
through
it
all
figure
out.
L
What
are
the
relevant
portions
of
that
video
and
then
eventually,
I
relay
that
to
the
joint
supervisors,
which
is
composed
of
my
directors,
afar
and
the
commander
of
Internal
Affairs,
and
they
then
have
to
go
over
those
relevant
portions.
Now,
I
watched
all
the
video
I
have
to
figure
out.
I
want
to
do
a
thorough
job,
make
sure
that
there
isn't
something
that
is
relevant
to
the
complaint,
that
I'm
missing
so
I
have
to
view
everything,
and
sometimes
that
can
amount
to
300
minutes
more
or
more
video
just
for
one
single
complaint.
L
Just
this
past
week,
for
instance,
I've
done
intake
investigations
for
a
couple
of
complaints,
and
there
were
about
that
much
that
that
many
minutes
of
video
attached
to
those
incidents,
that's
the
equivalent
of
basically
watching
two
feature-length
films.
So
after
I
pour
over
all
this
video,
there
still
will
be
very
likely
at
least
10
to
30
minutes
of
that
kind
of
edited
video
that
the
joint
supervisors
will
have
to
look
like
because
it
pertains
to
the
incident.
L
Okay,
now
going
to
some
observations
to
answer,
Councilmember
Palmisano
question
about
why
this
may
be
occurring,
at
least
in
terms
of
the
increased
number
of
complaints
received
and
I
believe.
One
reason,
at
least
is
outreach
efforts
done
in
the
part
of
our
office,
as
I
mentioned
before.
I've
done
some
outreach,
but
also
I'm,
not
the
only
one.
It's
not
a
singular
effort.
L
Director
Jaffar
and
our
legal
analyst
Ryan
Patrick
have
also
done
a
lot
of
outreach,
doing
things
like
speaking
to
various
organizations
conducting
cles
and
in
the
process
explaining
to
people
how
to
file
complaints
with
our
office.
So
I
think
that's
one
important
factor.
Another
one
is
that
internal
affairs
is
also
referring
more
cases
to
us
than
they
have
in
the
past,
but
I
think
one
factor
that
there's
a
strong
correlation
to
is
a
complaint
filing
study
that
was
conducted
by
director
Jafar
and
our
legal
analyst
Ryan
Patrick.
L
On
the
behalf
of
the
police
conduct
oversight,
Commission
back
in
late
2016,
they
went
out
and
try
to
determine
what
an
individual's
accessibility
to
following
complaint
was
when
the
encounter
officer
either
on
the
street
or
in
the
precinct,
and
upon
the
completion
of
that
study.
They
then
made
several
recommendations,
such
as
giving
cards
to
officers
that
they
could
just
hand
to
somebody
who
has
a
complaint
and
that
had
all
the
information
on
it
so
that
they
knew
how
to
file
that
complaint.
And
we
ought.
L
They
also
recommended
that
these
notification
forms
be
created,
whereupon
somebody
who
went
into
a
precinct
and
had
an
issue
that
the
desk
officer
would
then
have
to
create
a
form
that
then
would
be
referred
to
the
office
of
police
conduct
review
and
so
long
as
it
specified.
So
on
the
complaint.
We
would
contact
that
complainant,
and
so
those
recommendations
were
finally
implemented
in
early
2017
and
that's
when
we
see
a
pretty
strong
increase
in
the
number
of
complaints
received
and
that
in
2018
of
courses
appears
to
be
the
year
that
will
receive
the
most.
L
A
T
AC
Go
through
these
a
little
bit
more
quickly,
they
all
are
on
our
website
just
to
go
through
some
of
the
numbers
for
coaching
I.
Think
what
you'll
see
with
coaching,
which,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
it,
which
I
believe
most
of
you
are
it's
basically
a
situation
where
there's
a
lower
level
violations.
Police
violations
range
in
their
policy
and
procedure
manual
from
A
to
D
a
is
the
lowest.
These
are
intended
for
lower
level
violations.
We
have
two
things
sit
with
your
supervisor.
AC
You
have
to
get
re
educated
on
the
policy,
look
at
what
you
did
an
incident
that
was
wrong
and
then
try
and
see
how
you
could
do
it
better.
So
it's
a
very
effective
tool.
The
coaching
study
that
we
ran
this
year
showed
that
there's
a
very
low
recidivism
rate
after
an
officer
goes
through
that
on
lower
level.
So
here
you
can
see
this
is
the
projection.
I
think
it
might
be
a
little
bit
more,
but
these
are
documents
that
are
sent
out
to
the
precincts
for
coaching
these
ones.
AC
Are
the
timelines
they've
been
fairly
consistent
from
going
back
to
the
precincts
and
internal
fairs,
and
our
office
do
trainings
periodically
and
reminders
about
returning
your
coaching
documents
on
time?
Here's
the
outcomes-
they're,
probably
maybe
more
here,
but
the
precincts
get
to
determine
if
there
was
a
violation
or
not
and
then
coach,
but
the
documents
come
back
to
our
office
for
review.
AC
The
the
outcomes
this
year
for
the
review
panel,
which
is
the
panel
of
two
lieutenants
and
two
civilians
appointed
by
the
City
Council
and
Mayor
to
review
cases,
is
as
follows,
and
we
have
the
numbers
here
from
quarter
three
2017
through
quarter,
three
2018
thirteen
cases
have
been
reviewed.
I
would
like
to
note
that
the
Super
Bowl
really
slowed
down
the
case.
AC
Review
officers
were
unavailable
for
about
a
couple
of
months
during
that
time,
and
so
we
were,
you
know
the
cases
are
all
in
queue
to
be
reviewed,
but
it's
sort
of
behind
in
the
process
because
of
their
unavailability.
So
of
the
thirteen
we
had
one
split
decision:
twelve
merit
decisions,
11
no
merit
decisions.
Each
case
has
individual
allegations
and
that's
why
the
decisions
don't
match
up
to
the
number
of
cases.
So
one
case
might
have
four
allegations
like
that.
There
are
27
cases
pending
to
be
reviewed
for
discipline.
AC
There
has
been
three
cases
closed
in
the
quarter.
Three
two
quarter:
three
bracket,
one
coached
one
suspended
one
letter
of
reprimand.
Once
a
case
is
completed
from
our
review
panel.
It
goes
straight
to
the
chief's
office.
The
chief
is
the
sole
arbiter
of
discipline,
and
so
he
decides
to
split
on
those
cases,
usually
with
assistance
from
his
deputy
chiefs.
There
are
13
cases
in
in
the
chief's
office
right
now
that
are
awaiting
discipline
so
because
the
chief's
office
is
in
charge
of
that.
AC
AD
Good
afternoon
Council
I'm,
Ryan,
Patrick
and
I
support
the
analysis
team
that
works
with
both
the
police
conduct,
oversight,
Commission
and
the
internal
review
process
that
we
do
research
and
study
process.
We
are
a
team
because
we
added
the
body
camera
investigator
position
this
year.
So
there's
two
of
us
analysts
working
there.
He
works
part-time
with
analysis
projects,
but
also
assisting
with
intake
and,
as
you
can
see,
with
the
number
of
complaints
increasing,
he
has
a
lot
of
work
on
his
plate.
AD
So
our
work
we
assisted
with
the
internal
audits
body,
camera
audit
back
in
the
end
of
2017
and
over
the
past
year,
we've
completed
for
research
and
study
projects.
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
Purdue
presenting
these
to
you,
so
I'm
not
going
to
rehash
the
work,
the
one
that
we
did
not
the
coaching
process.
Analysis
like
director
Jafar
mentioned,
looked
at
whether
the
coaching
process
was
working
in
kind
of
the
results
and
was
able
to
show
that
it
was
working
effectively.
We
had
very
low
rates
of
officers
reoffending
for
the
same
violations.
AD
AC
AC
So
first
is
one
of
the
recommendations
to
come
out
was
that
both
on
the
police
office
side
from
the
desk
officers,
minimizing
the
interaction
and
the
complainants
feedback
as
well
that
I,
you
know,
I
want
to
file
complaint
against
an
officer
I,
don't
necessarily
want
to
have
a
lot
more
interaction
was
to
have
a
kiosk
available,
so
those
people
who
don't
have
access
to
electronic
filing
options
could
come
in
be
directed
to
the
kiosk
and
then
file
their
complaints
to
come
straight
to
the
office.
So
we
have
our
first
kiosk.
AC
That
is
almost
completed
that
our
programs,
the
student,
has
been
working
really
hard
with
IT
on
it's
going
to
be
there
with
a
custom
app
to
file
complaints,
it's
our
pilot.
Hopefully
it
will
go
well
and
then
they
will
be
in
all
the
precinct
and
then
other
community
buildings
where
there's
high
traffic
and
people
could
have
better
access
to
filing
complaints.
AC
The
housing
study
which
we
presented
to
you,
we
have
been
working
with
councilmember
Cunningham's
office
on
the
work
groups
and
actually
implementing
the
recommendation,
an
ordinance
change
and
that's
been
a
really
great
project
for
us,
so
we're
also
participating
in
developing
the
interim
process
and
then
giving
input
on
the
interdisciplinary
panel
that
will
be
developed.
Since
our
review
panel
process
is
kind
of
a
mirror
of
that
process,
there
will
be
more
to
come
in
2018
and
we'll
be
participating
in
the
presentation
of
the
final
work
and
we've
really
had
a
positive
experience.
AC
The
domestic
violence
response
study
that
we
also
presented
to
you
we've
had
initial
meetings
with
the
police
department
at
this
point
about
what
they're
going
to
do
to
enhance
the
oversight
of
the
domestic
violence
response
and
hopefully
increase
especially
the
numbers
that
have
reports
that
are
written
that
need
to
be
written
per
their
protocol.
So
we'll
keep
you
updated,
but
good
initial.
First,
meetings
about
how
they're
going
to
proceed
in
monitoring
those
numbers,
low
performers,
identifying
them
and
then
getting
them
retrained,
okay,
so,
looking
ahead,
we
are
preparing
for
more
complaints.
AC
The
trends
over
the
past
two
years
have
shown
this
kind
of
upward
growth,
I.
Think,
as
you
can
see,
from
the
work
that
we've
done
and
presented
to
you
over
the
years
that
you
know
we
take
the
high
quality
of
the
work
very
seriously
and
we're
not
going
to
you
know,
make
the
quality
lower
because
of
the
rising
complaints.
AC
We'll
still
do
the
incredibly
high
quality
work,
but
we're
you
know
it's
its
challenges
with
a
small
staff,
so
you
know
making
sure
that
we
are
sustaining
the
growth
that
we've
had
over
the
years,
really
bringing
good
projects
that
not
only
look
at
day
to
day
complaints
but
look
at
larger
trends
and
policing
and
how
we
can
make
the
system
better
from
a
civilian
perspective.
So
how
do
we
do
that
when
the
program
is
growing?
Also
body
cameras?
I,
think
you
know
both
mr.
Ramirez
and
mr.
AC
Patrick
mentioned
that
there's
just
a
lot
of
body
camera
footage.
April
4th
was
the
day
that
the
policy
changed
that
there's
a
lot
more
recordings
now,
and
you
know
we
have
one
intake
investigator.
We
have
one
video
analyst.
So
how
do
we
make
sure?
You
know
that
everybody
at
the
points
they're
viewing
it
at
all
the
people
in
our
office?
Even
the
investigators
who
get
the
cases
are
reviewing
vast
amounts
of
body
cameras.
AC
Oh
you
know
talking
about
that
and
discussing
it
as
it's
developing
we're
making
work
plans
for
the
OPC
RMP
COC
research
going
forward
for
the
next
year,
doing
both
programmatic
audits
through
our
office
and
also
being
the
staff
for
the
PC
OSI
for
their
research
and
study
and
just
making
sure.
As
mr.
Patrick
mentioned,
he
is
a
certified
government.
AC
Auditor,
routine
auditing
has
been
a
very
important
part
of
growing
our
program
in
a
very
professional
way
and
so
making
sure
that
we're
looping
back
on
all
the
work
that
we've
done
auditing
and
making
sure
that
things
are
positive
and
moving
forward.
So
thank
you.
After
a
long
day
for
your
attention,
and
if
you
have
any
questions
for
us,
we'd
be
happy
to
take
them
because,
when
we're
cutting
him
thank.
G
You,
madam
chair
first
I,
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
sticking
around
this
long
and
you've
got
a
really
great
team.
You're
amazing,
the
team
is
great
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work,
your
leadership
and
the
excitement
about
seeing
the
research
being
connected
directly
to
policy
change,
and
let
me
know
how
I
could
be
support
with
the
domestic
violence
work
as
well
that
also
inspired
more
work
beyond
when
I
read
that
study
it
really.
AC
We've
got
right
now
and
I
can
go
right
back
to
that
slide,
that
we
have
at
the
moment
and
again
that
that
number
is
I'm
changing
because
quarter,
three
isn't
completely
done
yet
so
we've
got
12
merit
decisions,
so
you've
got
12
allegations
that
have
merit,
so
those
can
be
tied
to
individual
cases.
But
right
now,
we've
got.
We've
got
three
cases
closed.
So
there's
there's
cases
outstanding
there
that
need
to
be
decided
that
have
merit
allegations
tied
to
them
now.
AC
H
Just
just
real
quick
I
was
interested
in
the
comments
about
body
camera,
footage
being
both
valuable
and
time-consuming
and
I.
Think
I
want
to
just
make
sure
that
we're
thinking
about
weighing
those
two
things
right,
because
it's
obviously
a
much
bigger
time
commitment
to
go
through
evidence
when
you
have
all
of
this
media
available
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
worth
it.
So
are
we
finding
that
we
are
getting
more
clarity
for
making
that
time,
commitment
and
that
commitment
of
resources?
Is
it
kind
of
worth
worth
the
investment
on
the
investigative
end
chair.
AC
Cano
councilmember
Fletcher
I
would
say
yes,
I
can
tell
you
from
having
started
with
the
office,
and
you
know
I
was
a
criminal
defense
attorney
before
I
came
here
with
no
body
camera
you
know,
and
that
developed
and
the
time
that
I
was
here,
it
went
from
a
discussion
about.
Did
something
happen
to
a
cave.
In
a
case
you
know,
complainant
says
one
thing
you
know:
officers
doesn't
and
there
and
then
weren't
kind
of
stuck
in
the
middle
right.
AC
The
body
camera
gives
you
a
lot
more
clarity
about
a
situation
and
it's
actually
much
easier
to
make
a
decision
about
this
should
go
to
investigation.
This
should
be
dismissed
and
I.
Think
there's
just
a
lot
more
transparency,
so
I
absolutely
do
think
it's
worth
it
for
the
auditing
purposes.
Sometimes
you
see
things
on
body
camera
that
you
didn't
expect
and
that
can
lead
to
really
positive
change
and
work.
M
AC
Canto
councilmember
Jenkins,
they
can
certainly
bring
it
to
our
attention
and
we
can
always
open
a
case
as
joint
supervisors.
That
is
always
an
option.
So
sometimes
it's
not
even
just
our
analyst
and
internal
affairs.
They
do
something
called
a
force
review.
So
if
they're
watching
a
body
camera
something
looks
bad,
they
refer
it
to
us
and
then
we
open
it
as
the
complainants
myself
and
the
commander
of
Internal
Affairs.
So
it
actually
is
very
helpful.
A
Okay,
do
we
have
any
more
questions,
looks
like
we
are
good
on
this
end.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
your
energy
on
this,
we
will
follow
up
with
you
of
course,
offline
if
we
need
to
move
forward
on
any
other
items
related
to
the
budget
or
to
the
department
with
that
without
further
business
before
us,
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
