A
Colleagues
we'll
be
moving
on
to
the
walk
and
the
discussion
item,
which
is
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
Today,
they're
going
to
be
discussing
the
tertiary
component
of
violence
prevention,
so
I
will
welcome
up
director
cotton.
We
will
be
welcoming
up
Josh,
Peterson
manager
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention
to
get
us
kicked
off.
Thank
you
so
much
and
welcome
Thank.
B
You,
mr.
chair
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Josh
Pederson
I'm,
the
manager
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
Here
you've
heard
a
lot
from
director
cotton
over
the
past
few
weeks.
So
we
thought
we
would
give
you
a
new
voice
for
a
little
bit
of
time
here,
but,
as
you
can
see
from
the
slides
once
they're
up
on
the
screen,
we
do
have
a
number
of
other
speakers.
They're
gonna
be
joining
me
throughout
the
presentation
here
today.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
Ellen
Chi
from
our
staff.
B
She
had
a
big
role
in
putting
these
slides
together
for
us
and
did
a
great
job,
so
I
thank
her
for
that.
So
I'm
gonna
talk
a
little
bit
now
about
what
I'm
gonna
talk
about
I'm,
going
to
provide
a
brief
overview
about
our
public
health
approaches
to
violence
prevention,
really
just
sort
of
provide
some
context
for
what
we
mean
when
we
say
Public,
Health
approaches
to
violence
prevention,
because
that's
going
to
inform
this
presentation
and
also
some
future
presentations.
B
We
do
for
you
all
and
that's
going
to
segue
into
talking
about
what
we
mean
when
we
say
tertiary
prevention
and
then,
lastly,
we're
going
to
spotlight
some
of
our
tertiary
prevention
efforts.
We
have
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention
and
then
across
the
city
enterprise,
so
some
context
to
get
you
all
grounded
when
we
talk
about
Public
Health
approaches
to
violence
prevention.
B
That
really
means
a
lot
of
different
things,
but
there
is
sort
of
one
kind
of
textbook
definition
of
what
that
means,
and
so
this
diagram
you
see
here
is
from
the
Centers
for
Disease,
Control
and
Prevention,
and
really
it
says
that
public
health
approach
is
a
systematic
and
scientific
approach.
That
is
consists
of
four
steps,
and
so
the
four
steps
you
see
here
are
defined
the
problem,
so
the
who,
what
when,
where?
Why?
B
How
of
the
issue
and
then
once
that's,
done
identifying
risk
and
protective
factors
which
I'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
in
a
second
then.
The
next
step
is
developing
novel
prevention
strategies
and
testing
those
strategies.
So
what
can
we
come
up
with?
It's
gonna
help
us
address
those
risk
and
protective
factors
and
then
do
they
work,
because
we
won't
only
be
doing
things
ideally
that
work
and
then
the
final
step
is
assure
widespread
adoption.
B
Novel,
yes
and
novel
strategies
being
something
new,
something
potentially
innovative,
and
and
that's
not
to
say
that
every
strategy
that
works
is
a
novel
strategy.
There
are
plenty
of
tried-and-true
evidence-based
strategies
as
well.
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Mr.
chair,
so
I
briefly
mentioned
risk
factors
and
protective
factors
just
to
give
a
quick
definition
of
that.
When
we
talk
about
violence
prevention,
what
we're
really
often
talking
about
is
preventing
the
conditions
or
factors
that
may
lead
to
violence.
B
B
So
when
we
talk
about
public
health
approaches,
I
mentioned
that.
That
means
a
lot
of
different
things
to
us.
Something
that
I
think
is
really
key
is
that
when
we
think
about
miles
as
a
public
health
issue,
we're
sort
of
contextualizing
it
alongside
other
communicable
communicable
public
health
issues.
So
these
are
things
that
we
can
protect
against,
prevent
entry
and
I.
Think
that's
really
important,
because
it
helps
remind
us
that
violence
is
not
inevitable,
so
I
think
often
folks.
B
Another
thing
that's
important
about
the
public
health
approach
is
the
idea
that
there
are
many
factors
that
contribute
to
violence,
so
violence
is
not
just
sort
of
the
actions
of
quote-unquote
bad
people,
doing
bad
things,
early
social
conditions
matter.
You
see
here
a
framework
called
the
social
ecological
model
which
is
split
out
in
the
in
the
different
levels:
individual
relationship,
community
and
societal.
And
basically,
what
that
says
is
that
violence
is
impacted
by
all
of
these
levels.
B
B
Another
piece
about
the
public
health
approach
that
I
think
is
really
important.
Is
this
idea
that
violence
is
often
a
cycle,
so
the
research
says-
and
we
know
from
our
experience
that
often
when
someone
is
hurt,
they're
more
likely
to
be
hurt
again
and
so
there's
a
cyclical
nature.
Around
hurt
people
hurting
people
and
hurt
people
be
again,
and
so
really
in
this
work
we
think
a
lot
about
how
we
can
support
people
on
a
path
toward
healing
and
away
from
perpetuating
violence
that
they
may
have
encountered.
B
So,
just
as
there
are
many
factors
that
lead
to
violence
within
this
approach,
there
also
many
approaches
so
I
think
a
key
thing
about
the
public
health
approaches.
There
isn't
one
single
answer:
it's
not
a
tan
approach,
it's
many
approaches,
so
we
really
need
to
think
about
sort
of
you
know
once
not
one
solution,
but
rather
soar
this
complex,
multifaceted
solution
that
involves
lots
of
different
angles
and
lots
of
different
things
and
I
sort.
B
B
Another
way
we
think
about
it
in
terms
of
Public
Health
approaches
is
this
idea
of
the
prevention
continuum,
so
thinking
about
violence
up
preventing
violence
up
front
so
before
it
happens,
thinking
about
preventing
it
before
it
occurs
and
sort
of
laying
the
groundwork
to
prevent
things
and
then
in
the
thick,
which
is
sort
of
either
early
intervention
for
folks
who
are
most
at
risk
or
the
responses
to
immediate
threats
of
violence
and
then
aftermath
which
is
responding.
Sort
of
after
violence
has
occurred
to
try
and
promote
healing
and
restoration.
B
So
this
is
a
model
that
is
taught
too
often
talked
about,
often
by
a
woman
named
Deborah
Protheroe
Smith,
who
is
an
early
pioneer
in
the
field
of
violence,
prevention
and
public
health?
She
was
a
physician
in
Boston
and
actually
started
the
first
office
of
violence,
prevention
in
the
state,
Public,
Health,
Department
and
so
she's
very
was
pioneered.
This
approach,
which
is
stuck
within
this
discipline
for
a
long
time
and
then
finally,
we
get
to
the
prevention
pyramid.
B
So
the
the
continuum
sort
of
aligns
with
this
pyramid-
and
this
pyramid
is
going
to
lay
the
groundwork
for
our
conversation
about
tertiary
today,
as
well
as
some
future
presentations
about
primary
and
secondary.
So
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
it.
You'll
see
at
the
bottom.
We
have
primary
prevention
at
the
base
of
the
pyramid,
and
that
is
sort
of
akin
to
the
upfront
from
the
continuum.
This
is
things
that
lay
the
groundwork
to
prevent
violence
from
happening
and
I.
B
Think
the
pyramid
is
useful
in
that
it
visualizes
that
sort
of
the
base
is
for
everybody.
So
this
covers
sort
of
the
fabric
of
society.
This
is
meant
to
cover
the
whole
swath
of
community,
jumping
up
a
level
in
a
secondary
prevention,
and
that's
for
folks
who
are
potentially
a
little
bit
more
at
risk.
That's
more
early
intervention
and
that's
for
a
smaller
subset
of
folks
and
then
at
the
top.
B
We
have
tertiary
prevention,
which
is
sort
of
that
aftermath
piece
from
the
continuum,
and
so,
as
you
can
probably
Intuit
from
the
nature
of
a
pyramid
diagram
tertiary
is
at
the
top,
which
means
it
typically
is
sort
of
focusing
on
the
smallest
subset
of
folks.
It
is
typically
downstream,
and
this
is
really
about
interrupting
that
cycle
of
violence.
So
it's
about
protecting
those
who
have
been
hurt
from
being
hurt
again
and
protecting
those
who
may
have
perpetrated
violence
from
from
committing
violence.
B
Again
and
again,
it's
highly
focused
typically
on
a
small
subset
of
individuals,
and
so
today,
when
we
talk
about
our
tertiary
prevention
efforts,
this
is
where
we're
going
to
focus
and
again
we're
going
to
talk
about
primary
and
secondary
and
some
future
presentations
to
you
all.
So
you
made
it
through
the
public
health
101.
Congratulations!
Thank
you
for
paying
attention.
Now
we
get
to
talk
about
the
work
we
do
and
here's
some
from
here
from
some
folks
who
are
doing
the
work
briefly.
B
Let's
make
this
happen
so
fast
forward
to
2016
and
we
launched
at
HCMC
and
then
in
2018
expanded
in
North
Memorial,
and
so
we've
been
able
to
make
a
whole
lot
of
change
in
both
of
those
hospitals
and
really
throughout
the
communities.
Since
then.
So
today,
we're
joined
by
Cantrell,
Galloway
and
farty.
Shahir
Cantrell
is
the
program
manager
of
next
step
for
Hennepin
health
care
and
far
she
is
a
violence.
A
C
Afternoon,
mr.
chairman
city
councilman's,
my
name
is
Cantrell
Galloway
I'm,
the
program
manager
over
at
Hennepin
health
care
for
next
step.
It
is
a
hospital-based
violence
prevention
program
through
a
collaboration
through
the
city
with
Hennepin
health
care
who
help
out
sorry
we're
getting
a
little
nervous
who
help
participants
who
come
into
the
hospital
victims
of
gun
violence.
So
the
program
starts
when
we
have
victims
who
come
into
the
hospital.
C
Like
I
said
it's
victim
of
gun,
violence
or
some
type
of
violent
assault,
and
then
once
they
come
into
the
hospital
I
have
a
team,
we'll
call
Hospital,
responders
and
case
managers
who
would
then
go
and
meet
the
patient
right
as
they're
coming
into
the
hospital,
but
there's
two
stages
to
our
program.
The
first
stage
is
the
hospital
base
where
we
meet
with
the
patient.
As
they're
cut,
like
I,
said:
I'm
meant
to
the
hospital
we
meet
with
the
families
we
meet
with
the
patients
we
are
signed
on
with
the
program.
C
Even
though
you
know
that
really
doesn't
help
us,
sometimes
if
you're
a
victim
of
gun
violence,
but
we
help
them
with
housing,
transportation,
food,
helping
them
find
work
and
the
people
who
do
that
are
my
case.
Managers
and,
like
he
said
far
as
used
to
here,
is
wonderful
people
who
has
been
with
the
progress
that
Guinea
and
he
could
talk
more
about
what
the
case
managers
do
on
the
ground.
Work.
A
D
Well,
thank
you
thinking.
Counselor,
chair
and
council
members
are
pretty
much.
We've
been
making
some
improvements.
In
the
last
two
years
we
expanded
to
North
Memorial,
in
which
we
started
not
only
seeing
the
victims
that
came
to
an
event
County,
but
also
the
victims
that
were
coming
to
North
memorial
on.
D
One
of
those
prime
examples
would
be
in
2018,
I
think
our
recidivism
rate
was
at
3.5
and
then
last
year
we
did
a
count
that
was
down
to
one
point,
eight
so
out
of
the
437
individuals
that
we
do
service,
there's
only
two
individuals
that
have
actually
come
back
into
the
hospital
with
the
same
as
some
of
the
womb.
So
this
is
a
strategy
that
has
been
working
as
the
strategy
that
has
definitely
gotten
family
members
and
community
members
involved
and
making
sure
that
individuals
remain
safe,
while
they're
out
in
the
community.
D
True,
indeed,
we
do
meet
them
inside
the
hospital
at
their
most
vulnerable
moment.
But
the
most
impact
that
is
on
been
effective
is
when
we
actually,
when
I,
when
we
actually
meet
these
individuals
in
their
neighborhoods
and
meet
the
individuals
that
they
hang
with
and
meet
the
individuals
that
they
go
to
the
mall
and
you
know,
play
video
games
with
out
of
the
game.
Works.
D
There
have
been
some
barriers
in
regards
to
some
of
the
property
patients
properties,
of
course,
confiscated
when
they
are
entered
into
the
hospital
and
individuals
are
not
receiving
their
property
back
from
the
property
room,
so
that
has
been
one
of
the
biggest
barriers
that
we've
had,
especially
when
individuals
are
victims
of
homicide
and
their
family
members
want
to
gather
their
belongings
so
that
they
can
make
mementos
out
of
their
belongings.
Another
barrier
which
we
have
been
tackling
is
on
getting
individuals
to
actually
come
forward
with
the
names
of
the
individuals
that
shot
them.
D
This
barrier
was
a
young
man
that
was
shot
ten
times,
and
he
gave
us
the
information
to
make
sure
that
the
person
who
shot
them
received
justice,
but
unfortunately,
that
individual
is
still
free.
So
it
has
been
creating
a
barrier
in
which
participants
don't
feel
they.
Don't
trust
us
enough,
because
the
individuals
that
they
tumblr
or
give
information
about
are
still
outside
and
it's
making
it
harder
for
us
to
come
to
the
participants
and
ask
them.
D
You
know
to
help
us
get
the
individuals
that
are
doing
these
kind
of
crimes
off
the
streets
if
they
feel
as
if
they
tell
us,
nothing
is
ultimately
going
to
happen.
Those
two
barriers,
I
think
we
possibly
can
work
on.
Another
barrier
was
the
fact
that
there's
a
forum
inside
of
the
inside
of
this
building
that
says
a
person
cannot
receive
their
ID.
If
they
don't
have
somebody
co-signed
form,
there's
known
them
for
two
years,
a
lot
of
the
individuals
we
deal
with
our
homeless.
D
The
program
has
been
extremely
successful
on
this
there's
been,
you
know,
talk
of
reaching
out
to
the
community,
we're
actually
going
to
get
involved
with
violence
intervention
week
to
kind
of
start,
creating
different
programs,
and
you
know
different
on
curriculum,
so
that
individuals
can
feel
more
comfortable
coming
into
the
circle
of
the
collegiate
crowd.
We
deal
with
individuals
that
are
not
very
trusting
of
the
system,
sort
of
be
able
to
create
an
atmosphere
where
they
can
be
welcomed
and
accepted
and
then
also
share.
D
Their
experiences
without
being
judged
will
then
propel
us
in
a
direction
that
we
really
need
to
go
ultimately
for
the
remaining
of
this
year
and
hopefully
next
year,
but
yeah
we're
doing
good.
The
work
is
working,
individuals
are
staying,
safe
and
once
individuals
actually
meet
the
team
inside
of
the
hospital
they're
not
interested
in
coming
back
in
with
the
same
as
similar
wound,
and
they
actually
come
in
frequently
to
to
gain
guidance
so
that
they
can
stay
out
of
trouble
and
to
stay
safe.
So
it's
working
great.
E
D
E
B
And
mr.
Gordon,
yes,
so
the
research
says
that
the
five
the
five-year
rate
nationally
is
about
forty
percent.
Obviously,
that's
an
apples
to
oranges
comparison
because
next
up
hasn't
been
on
the
ground
for
five
years.
We
don't
have
any
data
from
prior
to
when
next
step
was
launched
locally,
but
so
even
recognizing
it
as
an
apples.
Oranges
comparison
looking
at
something
like
three
percent
compared
to
forty
percent,
we
feel
is.
E
D
B
E
So
that
is
that's
challenging
you're
gonna
need
at
school.
Yep
I
had
kids
go
through
that
process.
You
need
a
few
things,
so
that's
important
to
hear
with
I'm
the
other
two
issues.
Are
you
talking
to
Health
Department
or
a
police
department
about
that,
and
is
it
the
hospital,
that's
keeping
their
property
or
is
it
the
police
that
are
keeping
their
property?
This.
D
E
Any
in
in
terms
of
the
other
issue
of
investigating
to
make
an
arrest
of
somebody
I'm
sure
that
gets
very
complicated,
but
I
hope
you
also
are
communicating
that
with
the
police
department
and
also
with
the
other
Health
Department
staff.
It
that's
I,
think
that's
a
concern
that
everybody
shares
and
we
totally
understand
we're
not
gonna
have
witnesses
coming
forward.
If
they
don't
think
that
they're
there's
gonna
be
some
effective
response.
B
D
A
B
You,
mr.
jereth,
so
next
we're
gonna,
welcome
up.
Mariana,
hang
from
the
City
Attorney's
Office.
One
thing
we
really
appreciate
about
appreciate
about
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
Is
it
really
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
work
across
the
sea
enterprise
not
just
within
the
Health
Department,
and
so
the
pathways
to
a
new
beginning'
program
is
really
a
great
example
of
how
there
are
great
violence,
French
and
things
happening
elsewhere.
So
I'm
excited
to
hear
more
about
that.
B
F
G
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
I'm
Mary,
Ellen,
hang
on
the
criminal
deputy
in
the
Minneapolis
City
Attorney's
Office.
We
started
the
pathways
program
almost
three
years
ago.
Now,
May
of
2
2017
is
when
we
launched
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background.
My
office
prosecutes
gross
misdemeanor
gun
offenses,
so
things
like
carrying
a
pistol
without
a
permit
carrying
a
rifle
or
BB
gun
in
public.
G
Those
are
the
main
two
offenses
and
for
awhile
I
had
a
team
of
three
prosecutors
who
were
focusing
on
these
cases,
so
they
handled
all
of
them
and
one
of
my
prosecutors
tonight
a
Chico
came
to
my
office
one
day
and
she
said
you
know
I,
don't
really
know
if
this
is
accurate,
but
it
seems
like
every
time
I
go
to
court.
It
seems
to
be
a
young
person
18
to
maybe
25
26
and
a
young
african-american
male.
G
It
seems
like
that's
all
we're
prosecuting
and,
and
so
it
kind
of
got
Susan
Siegel,
our
former
city
attorney
and
I
thinking,
and
we
didn't
know
if
that's
really
what
the
data
showed.
So
I
went
back
through
all
of
our
cases
since
I
started
tracking
in
2007
and
sure
enough.
The
majority
of
the
defendants
we
prosecuted
were
between
18
and
30,
and
the
majority
of
them
were
young
african-american
males
in
that
demographic.
G
So
then
I
decided
to
look
and
see
wonder
what
happened
since
we
convicted
them
of
this
offense
and
in
my
informal
research
over
70%
of
those
individuals
went
on
to
commit
some
sort
of
new
crime.
Most
of
them
committed
some
do
felony.
A
lot
of
them
were
violent,
felonies,
robberies,
high-level
drugs,
not
just
the
fifth
degrees,
the
second
degree-
drugs,
murder
charges.
A
lot
of
them
were
in
prison
before
they
were
30,
and
so
we
got
talking
and
thought
well
our
little
point
of
intervention
where
we're
prosecuting
them
we're
getting
a
conviction.
G
Ninety-Eight
percent
of
the
time,
they're
doing
a
little
bit
of
jail
time.
We're
clearly
not
doing
anything
to
help
this
issue.
So
we
wondered
if
we
could
do
better,
so
we
put
out
an
RFP
and
we
met
with
some
people
and
that's
when
the
issue
of
focusing
on
the
trauma
that
these
individuals
may
have
experienced.
G
It's
been
an
incredible
program
in
my
opinion
and
looking
back
at
what
we've
done
so
far.
In
almost
these
three
years,
our
goal
was
to
basically
reduce
recidivism,
not
just
among
gun
offenses,
but
among
all
offenses
for
the
individuals
that
we
were
coming
into
contact
on
these
offenses,
because
the
other
piece
that
Miss
Chico
mentioned
that
got
us
thinking
about
this
was
in
almost
all
of
the
cases
when
the
person
was
interviewed
by
the
investigator,
they
would
say.
I
I
found
the
gun.
G
I
got
the
gun
from
a
friend
the
bottom
line
was
they
were
carrying
it
for
protection.
They
felt
they
needed
that
because
they
were
worried
for
themselves
or
their
family.
It
wasn't
as
if
they
were
saying
I
was
carrying
it
because
I
wanted
to
go
out
and
commit
some
violent
act.
It
was
that
self-preservation,
so
we
launched
our
program
when
we
launched
it
initially,
because
it's
a
gun,
offense.
G
We
wanted
to
give
somewhat
of
a
you,
know,
a
carrot
and
a
stick
approach,
a
reason
to
do
the
programming,
but
we
initially
still
required
a
conviction
and
we
were
not
getting
a
lot
of
individuals
interested
in
participating.
So
we
pivoted
in
September
and
we
decided
to
take
a
risk.
And
now
people
come
into
the
program
on
what's
called
a
stay
of
adjudication,
so
they
admit
to
the
facts,
but
the
conviction
kind
of
stays
in
the
cloud.
G
So
you
will,
they
don't
have
a
conviction
on
their
record
and
if
they
participate
and
they
graduate
after
two
years.
Their
case
is
completely
dismissed.
They've
never
had
a
criminal
conviction
for
a
gross
misdemeanor
case
and
now
the
new
piece
that
we've
just
added
is
the
law
requires
them
to
wait
for
one
more
year.
But
at
that
point
we're
going
to
assist
these
individuals
and
getting
expungements
assuming
that
they
haven't
committed,
something
that
you
know
would
make
us
not
want
to
that
say
like
a
domestic
violence
or
a
felony,
or
something
like
that.
G
So
once
we
started
offering
it
as
basically
a
pre
conviction
path,
the
the
doors
opened
and
we
started
getting
all
these
individuals
going
through
the
program
and
initially
people
were
very
successful
and
then
we
found
I
was
starting
to
get
contacted
by
the
program
that
some
people
were
kind
of
dropping
off
and
we
were
filing
probation
violations
and
when
I
looked
at
them,
I
realized.
They
were
all
well
into
our
second
phase
of
the
programming,
so
I
called
up
Priscilla.
Who
is
our
main
contact
and
I
said?
G
What's
going
on
and
she
said
it's
too
long,
it's
it's
too
onerous
they're,
starting
to
actually
integrate
back
into
normal
lives
and
they're
forgetting
to
contact
us,
and
we
have
to
violate
them.
So
again
we
pivoted
again
we
modified
the
curriculum
and
now
we're
seeing
much
less
people
needing
a
probation
violation,
tweaked
to
kind
of
complete
the
program.
They're
able
to
go
and
complete
it
all
the
way
through.
So
it's
been
really
interesting
to
work
through
that
and
find
a
piece
of
programming
that
actually
works
for
the
individual
and
achieves
what
we're
trying
to
achieve.
G
G
To
date
we
have
reviewed
228
cases
and
we
have
found
144
individuals
eligible
we've
had
31
successfully
graduate
from
the
program.
The
first
graduation
was
back
in
July
of
2018
I
went
and
just
on
Thursday
or
Wednesday
or
Thursday.
Last
week,
when
Josh
contacted
me,
I
looked
up
all
31
individuals
to
see
what
their
recidivism
was,
and
it's
about
7%,
so
much
much
improved
from
what
we
were
seeing
before
our
programming
and
that
only
one
new
gun,
offense
there's
been
a
couple
of
domestics
and
a
couple
of
low-level
drug
felonies.
G
But
overall,
when
you,
when
you
look
at
what
was
happening
to
me,
that
just
screamed
success,
that
something
is
working
which
is
great
majority
of
our
individuals
are
males
and
the
majority
are
african-american
which
again
fits
with
what
we
were
seeing.
So
we're
still
seeing
that.
But
this
is
a
different
way
to
address
these
issues
and
and
I
think
it's
that
holistic
approach
of
really
realizing,
there's
much
more
going
on
with
these
individuals
than
just
simply
them
walking
around
with
the
gun.
G
So
it's
one
of
the
things
I'm
most
proud
of
that
we've
done
in
our
career
and
as
we're
doing
this
further
and
we're
seeing
now
the
results
and
were
able
to
look
at
recidivism,
seeing
the
impact
we're
seeing
that
something
like
this
is
working
and
it
wouldn't
have
been
possible
if
we
hadn't
gotten
the
funding.
The
thing
that
makes
this
work
is
that
we
bear
the
cost
of
this,
because
this
would
be
I
mean
it's
an
expensive
program.
G
There's
no
way
some
of
these
individuals
would
ever
be
able
to
be
afforded
that
opportunity
and
I
think
that's
a
really
great
thing
that
has
been
put
in
our
budget
and
it's
you
know
in
the
it
long
run,
we're
gonna
save
money
because
we're
hopefully
never
going
to
have
these
people
back
in
the
criminal
justice
system.
Again
they're
going
to
go
on
and
lead
very
productive
lives.
It's
been
interesting
to
talk
to
them.
It's
impacting
families.
G
A
lot
of
these
young
men
brought
their
significant
others,
wives,
girlfriends,
whatever
that
was,
they
would
be
allowed
to
sit
in
and
have
the
benefit
of
the
programming
things
that
we
never
thought
would
happen.
I've
had
several
reach
out
to
me
individually.
To
ask
me
for
assistance
on
things
again.
Something
I
never
would
have.
Thought
would
happen
that
someone
would
reach
out
and
say.
G
Could
you
assist
me
with
this
and
so
yeah
I
think,
and
it
pairs
really
nicely
with
gvi
we've
had
a
couple
of
individuals
we
put
through
pathways
because
we
don't
know
what
their
juvenile
history
is
and
it
turns
out.
They
had
some
gang
involvement
and
it
became
unsafe
for
them
to
continue
in
the
pathways
program.
We
transition
them
into
gvi,
which
was
a
better
fit,
and
those
two
individuals
are
still
on
a
path
to
success,
and
so
it's
been
a
nice
pairing
with
the
work
the
public
health
has
done.
G
E
G
Mr.
chair
councilmember
Gordon,
if
they
have
a
prior
felony
within
the
last
five
years,
we've
actually
changed
our
criteria
when
we
started
any
felony
made
them
ineligible
and
then
we
were
seeing
people.
We
were
turning
away,
who
maybe
had
a
fifth-degree,
eight
or
nine
years
ago,
and
then
nothing,
but
this
new
gun
charge,
and
so
we
thought
about
that
and
decided
they
should
be
allowed
to
do
the
program
if
they
have
a
history
of
violence.
G
A
lot
of
we
do
have
so
many
of
you
have
a
lot
of
history
of
domestic
assault
or
felony
level
assaults.
Those
are
the
kind
of
things
that
would
make
them
ineligible
and
then
we're
constantly
looking
at
that,
because
seeing
the
success,
that's
having
I'm
trying
to
narrow
that
in
eligibility
criteria,
because
we
we
want
more
and
more
people
to
be
able
to
go
through
the
program
because
it
is
beneficial.
We
we've
had
a
couple
individuals
who
were
deemed
ineligible
because
they
also
had
an
open
fifth
degree,
felony
case.
We
let
that
case
play
out.
G
They
ended
up
getting
diversion
on
their
felony
and
then
we
let
them
into
pathways,
because
that's
not
technically
a
conviction,
so
we're
finding
ways
to
kind
of
work
with
them,
because
we
find
that's
a
really
good
pairing
to
be
in
our
program,
be
working
on
the
felony
diversion
it's
a
nice
match
with
the
programming
or
seeing
a
lot
of
success
with
some
of
some
of
those
things
as
well.
Well,.
E
That's
good
to
hear,
because
I
would
be
worried
about
that,
and
maybe
this
program
wouldn't
be
the
right
program
for
some
people,
if
they're,
if
they
were
dealing
with
more,
but
maybe
something
else
would
so.
That
combination
sounds
good.
I
was
kind
of
curious
if
we
knew
what
kind
of
recidivism
rate
there
was
for
the
ineligible
versus
the
eligible
two,
which
would
tell
us
that
well,
if
we
did
something
over
here,
it
would
really
have
much
more
benefit.
H
G
Mr.
chair
council,
member
Gordon
I,
don't
know
that,
but
it
wouldn't
be
hard
to
find
because
I
have
a
a
database
of
every
individual.
We
screamed
we're
gonna
have
a
summer
intern
that
might
be
a
great
research
project
for
our
summer
intern.
The
district
courts
actually
helping
us
right
now.
This
program
is
one
of
three
being
studied
by
the
university
of
chicago
and
out
of
that,
they've
wanted
to
know
the
kind
of
the
official
recidivism.
Not
just
essentially
am
I
looking
them
up,
so
it
sent
the
district
court.
G
The
case
numbers
of
every
individual
we've
convicted
of
a
gross
misdemeanor
weapons
case
the
three
years
prior,
so
2014,
2015
and
2016,
and
they
are
running
that
information
and
I
hope
to
have
that
back
soon
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
much
higher
number
than
our
seven
percent.
What
I
think
makes
this
program
interesting
and
why
the
University
of
Chicago
picked.
It
is
most
gun
diversion
programs
across
the
country
that
are
starting
to
kind
of
pop
up
in
jurisdictions.
G
They
are
looking
at
the
felony
level
cases
and
what
I
think
makes
this
unique
is
we're
actually
looking
at
individuals
who
are
charged
with
a
lower
level
got
offense
in
the
hopes
that
we
can
prevent
them
from
becoming
felons
and
having
that
criminal
history
attached
where
then
they
have
even
more
trouble
finding
jobs
or
housing,
and
so
I
think
we're
kind
of
what
Josh
said.
We're
trying
to
move
much
more
upstream
in
the
hopes
of
having
better
results
and
I.
Think
that's
why
our
program
is
actually
really
unique.
G
A
It
starts
with
racism,
and
so
when
we
notice
that
it
is
disproportionately
young
black
men
who
are
being
negatively
impacted,
and
it
goes
all
the
way
back
to
that
structural
racism.
It's
the
sort
of
moments
in
which
we
begin
the
process
of
dismantling
that,
and
that's
really
important,
because
that
really
changes
this.
A
So
this
is
a
systems
change,
it's
not
a
program,
I
think
calling
it
just
a
program
while
it's
easier
to
be
able
to
say
it
rather
than
big
structural
change
right
like
but
calling
it
a
program
really
does
not
fully
name
how
it's
beginning
that
process
of
dismantling
the
systemic
racism,
particularly
within
the
criminal
justice
system,
and
so
so
I'm
really
grateful
for
that.
Astute
observation,
as
well
as
the
adaptation
of
the
program
as
you've
gone
along,
sometimes
folks,
are
like
we
got
the
answers.
A
We
know
how
to
do
this
and
if
in,
if
the
folk,
the
target
community
is
not
benefiting,
then
that
is
on
them
right,
like
it
is
their
fault
and
instead
of
having
that
orientation,
there's
a
self-reflection
that
oftentimes
systems
do
not
have
and
of
something's,
not
quite
right
here
we're
not
getting
the
results.
What
can
we
do
better,
and
that
is
something
that
we
want
to
be
emulated
across
our
municipality,
and
so
so.
Thank
you
for
being
an
example.
Thank
you
for
doing
this
work.
A
Well,
a
22
percent
in
comparison
to
a
70
percent
is
monumental
and
and
I
think
that
the
further
we
go
along
the
more
we
will
see
that
number
go
down,
because
there
are
just
so
many
other
off-ramps
that
we're
creating
along
the
way
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
doing
your
part.
This
is
a
huge
piece
of
it
and
thank
you
for
presenting
I,
have
a
question
or
comment
from
council.
Vice
president
Jenkins
Thank.
H
H
H
There
are
other
properties,
sometimes
you
know
cash
jewelry
all
of
those
kinds
of
things,
but
most
importantly,
they
are
documentation
and
in
in
your
opinion,
initially
when
council
member
Gordon
asked
a
question
it
kind
of
sound
like
maybe
it
was
just
the
ceased
folks
that
were
not
getting
their
property
back,
but
I'm
running
our
survivors
having
the
same
kind
of
issue.
And
what
do
you
think?
D
Thank
you,
council,
chair,
Thank,
You
Constance,
president
tinker's,
for
the
question
on
it
is
not
only
the
deceased.
All
the
participants
are
having
a
difficult
time
receiving
their
belongings
back.
It
can
be
if
their
shoes.
In
fact,
one
of
the
next
steps
logo
is
a
gym
shoe,
and
that
was
simply
because
when
participants
were
coming
in,
their
shoes
were
taken,
and
they
were,
you
know,
put
on
the
bus
and
those
socks.
D
So
we
would
get
them
the
gym
shoes
and
a
significant
amount
of
the
budget
goes
towards
making
sure
that
they
have
adequate
footwear
to
get
home
in.
There
are
participants
who
have
been
involved
in
a
program
since
the
beginning
and
they
still
haven't
received
any
other
belongings
back,
and
this
is
not
only
for
the
deceased,
but
individuals
who
are
you
know
who
have
survived,
especially
when
it
comes
to
cash,
so,
unfortunately
there's
another
barrier
where
individuals
from
our
community,
they
don't
Bank
their
money,
the
way
that
they
shouldn't.
D
Sometimes
they
walk
around
with
a
significant
amount
of
money,
sometimes
that
money
it
could
be
for
their
rent.
Sometimes
that
money
is
used
for
car
payments,
things
that
I
made
sure
once
that
money
is
confiscated,
it
is
inside
the
property
room
until
the
staff
in
the
property
room
decides
to
release
that
of
that
property
to
those
individuals
on
their
state
IDs
their
credit
cards,
things
that
I've
made
sure
are
also
confiscated.
In
my
biggest
question,
is
you
know
what
is
the
purpose
behind
confiscating
the
state
ID
for
individual
is
shot?
D
Does
their
wallet
has
no
real
significance
towards
the
investigation?
So
why
can't
they
receive
their
their
wallet
or
their
credit
cards?
These
individuals
still
have
bills
to
pay.
They
still
have
to
get
to
work.
They
still
have
to
prove
and
identify
who
they
are
when
they
go
into
establishments
and
also
when
they
go
to
make
purchases
or
get
you
know
obtaining
housing.
B
D
200
plus
dollars
I
mean
we
can't
afford
to
replace
all
their
Michael
Jordan's.
So
why
can't
we,
you
know,
leave
them
their
shoes,
and
you
know
that
the
the
conversation
happens
inside
the
emergency
room
while
the
patient
is
being
wheeled
upstairs
and
they
have
absolute,
no
idea
what's
going
on
or
why
their
belongings
are
being
taken.
Even
if
they're
not
a
suspect
in
these
crimes.
D
A
A
I
So
thank
you
for
your
time,
I'm
here
to
talk
about
two
of
our
initiatives
that
are
considered
tertiary
and
they're
project
areas
that,
prior
to
becoming
the
director,
I
maintained,
oversight
for
and
continued
to
do
so
due
to
staffing
constraints,
and
so
at
this
time,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
group
violence
intervention
strategy,
just
giving
a
high-level
overview
of
what
the
project
does
and
why
it's
so
important
to
us.
So
gvi
operates
really
on
the
pillar
or
on
the
practice
of
three
pillars.
I
Looking
at
law
enforcement,
social
service
providers
and
a
community
moral
voice,
all
three
of
those
parts
of
the
project
are
essential
to
its
function.
There's
a
really
key
and
essential
reason
why
it
remains
house
specifically
in
the
city.
So
while
we
partner
with
a
variety
of
community-based
agencies
and
you'll,
hear
from
one
of
them
today
having
an
anchor
in
a
place
like
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
is
essential
because
of
the
partnership
with
city
stakeholders
and
systems
to
holders
like
probation,
law
enforcement
and
other
entities
that
are
government-run.
I
We
are
trying
to
empower
the
people
who
come
into
the
network
to
receive
services,
which
is
the
social
service
aspect
of
the
work
to
change
their
lifestyles
and
really
feel
empowered
to
make
changes,
recognizing
that
it's
a
transition
and
not
something
that
happens
overnight,
but
that
takes
time
and
guidance
and
a
lot
of
effort
on
the
part
of
the
people
who
are
doing
that
work.
And
so
that's
just
a
little
high-level
overview
of
what
we
do.
I
I
want
to
thank
and
give
a
shout
out
to
our
partners
of
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
who
are
the
essential
partner
in
the
law
enforcement
cavity
of
the
work,
as
well
as
Hennepin,
County,
Probation
and,
to
some
degree
the
County
Attorney's
Office
they're,
a
strong
partner
as
well
Matt,
st.
George.
The
lieutenant
of
the
gang
unit
is
here
with
us
to
just
mirror
the
support
that
MPD
offers,
as
well
as
that
very
important
partnership
and
getting
the
work
done
as
it
pertains
to
law
enforcement.
Their
role
really
is
to
be
a
key
messenger.
I
They
are
often
having
a
lot
of
contact
with
the
people
that
we
want
to
make
sure
know
that
services
exist,
and
that
is
a
real
pivot
from
the
way
that
law
enforcement
normally
does
its
work
and
requires
a
change
in
thinking
about
how
law
enforcement
engages
with
community.
Normally,
we
know
that
law
enforcement
is
seen
as
just
that
enforcement
and
our
gang
unit
absolutely
does
a
lot
of
enforcement.
That
is
the
number
one
priority
in
their
work.
I
And
so
we
often
put
an
emphasis
on
homicide
and
often
I
mean
and
absolutely
the
loss
of
life
is
something
that's
important
and
that
we
want
to
reduce.
But
sometimes
the
number
of
shots
fired
and
a
number
of
people
impacted
by
a
shooting
can
get
overlooked
because
there's
not
a
loss
of
life,
and
we
know
how
those
deeply
affect
the
person
who's
been
shot,
but
also
the
community
where
those
shootings
happen
have
a
deep
sense
of
insecurity
when
the
number
of
shootings
are
so
high.
I
And
so
in
our
demonstration
year
prior
to
gvi,
we
experienced
between
Collins.
So
we
look
strategically
in
May
and
September,
because
that's
the
timeframe
in
which
we're
in
between
Collins,
which
is
a
method
of
communicating
the
GBI
message
that
I
think
many
of
you
are
familiar
with
it's.
Where
we
identify
a
group
of
folks
that
we
think
need
to
hear
the
message
of
gvi
that
we
want
them
safe,
alive
and
free.
I
But
the
violence
is
intolerable,
that
there
are
services
to
help
them,
but
that
the
law-enforcement
community
is
going
to
be
taking
a
very
particular
look
at
group
violence
because
we
believe
it
drives
our
violence.
And
so
we
look
at
the
time
frame
in
between
our
two
traditional
Collins,
which
happened
in
May
and
then
a
second
one
in
September.
So
the
summer
months,
also
because
of
natural
nature,
here,
I'm
going
to
so
is
oftentimes.
When
we
see
a
peak
in
violence,
particularly
around
gun
violence.
So
we
look
at
that
as
a
demonstration
period.
I
In
the
year
before
GBI,
we
had
93
group
member
involved
shootings
that
were
non-fatal,
which
is
really
when
you
think
about
it,
just
astronomical
first,
a
city,
the
size
of
Minneapolis
to
have
93
people
that
we
know
of
being
shot
as
a
result
of
gang
violence
is
really
problematic.
In
my
opinion,
one
is
too
many,
but
93
is
is
a
lot
in
the
year
that
we
were
able
to
implement.
We
had
42
group
member
involved
shootings,
so
a
pretty
significant
reduction
in
that
time
period.
I
Why
and
I
think
that
2019
is
a
particularly
important
year
to
focus
on,
and
the
reason
being
is
that
we
know
we
did
see
in
our
city,
some
increases
in
violence
and
we
did
see
some
increases
in
overall
gun,
violence
and
I.
Think
it's
particularly
important
to
look
at
the
number
around
group
member
involved
shootings
for
that
year,
because
what
it
says
is
that
we
are
consistently
seeing
reductions
in
this
particular
form
of
shooting
violence
and
that
that
means
there
are
other
forms
of
violence.
I
We
really
have
to
look
at
and
begin
to
address,
and
so
a
little
later
in
my
presentation,
I
will
be
talking
about
our
intimate
partner
violence,
intervention
strategy,
because
it
is
one
of
the
forms
of
violence
where
we
saw
some
increases
and
so
the
office
of
violence
prevention
is
recognizing
that
we
are
doing
some
really
important
work
in
certain
areas
of
violence
and
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
yet
to
be
developed
and
designed
to
address
the
breadth
of
the
problem
in
Minneapolis.
Next
slide,
please.
I
Doing
what
they've
always
done
has
not
gotten
to
a
solution
around
this
particular
population
and
so
being
able
to
think
about
this
to
some
degree
as
a
harm
reduction
model
and
saying
we
want
to
meet
people
where
they're
at.
We
are
very
careful
to
say
we
are
not
in
the
business
of
making
model
citizens.
We
are
really
about
keeping
those
who
are
most
likely
to
be
impacted
by
gun.
I
Violence
safe
from
harm
alive
alive
is
essential
and
free
and
free
is
an
important
element
to
the
model,
because
we
know
that
their
rates
of
incarceration
for
black
and
brown
communities,
and
young
men
in
particular,
are
particular
really
high,
and
we
want
to
be
diligent
about
keeping
people
who
step
into
this
program
free
from
the
car
serration,
not
only
as
a
result
of
their
gang
involvement.
But
we
know
that
there
is
a
Trickett.
I
So
at
this
time
we
are
pivoting.
We
are
doing
some
new
and
innovative
things
not
only
locally
but
really
nationally
as
we're
building
things
out
with
John
J.
So
the
Southside
work
I
want
to
shout
out
David
Carson,
who
was
in
the
audience
here
and
does
work
with
the
Minneapolis
Fire
Department.
But
it's
also,
the
executive
director
of
an
organization
called
cause
and
effect,
and
he
has
come
on
board
with
us
as
a
contractor
to
help
us
develop
the
work
on
the
south
side.
I
He
has
brilliant
relationships
in
littleworth,
as
well
as
with
other
parts
of
the
community,
both
Native
American
and
African
American
communities
in
that
arena.
So
we're
really
excited
about
what
that
is
going
to
bring
to
the
table
and
our
ability
to
meet
the
needs
of
those
communities.
The
Health
Department
has
also
hired
a
specialist
to
work
in
the
Somali
community
right
now.
F
You,
chairman
and
members
of
the
committee
again,
my
name
is
Jamel.
Jackson
I
run
an
order
called
CEO
which
stands
for
change
equals
opportunity.
The
focus
of
our
organization
is
to
focus
on
young
men
of
color
ages,
12
to
25
in
the
areas
of
education,
employment,
life
skills
and
through
that
work,
I
also
run
a
basketball,
a
car
brand
shootin,
which
we
kind
of
use
sport
as
the
carrier
to
bring
young
men
in
and
focus
on,
CEO
session
CEO
sessions.
We
also
also
focus
on
this
exposure
to
college
career
and
culture
in
those
pillars,
college.
F
F
D
F
At
and
where
they're
trying
to
go
in
life,
helping
them
identify
of
colleges,
the
best
route
for
them
or
technical
career
trade,
whatever
it
may
be
and
then
stay
with
them
on
their
journey
as
they
go.
Our
cultural
aspect
is
historic,
tours
cultural
trauma
conversations
and
just
trying
to
get
them
to
understand
whether
our
focus
with
CEO
is
becoming
the
CEO
of
you.
F
I
myself
am
aiming
up
on
true
preneur
and
so
gravitating
to
some
of
these
young
men
and
showing
them
that
college
might
not
be
for
you,
but
there
are
other
opportunities
and
avenues
that
you
can
be
successful
in
life,
I've
partnered
with
gvi
and
Sasha
cotton
for
a
number
of
years.
Now,
through
my
work
in
the
community
I'm
also
the
head
basketball
coach
at
Patrick,
Henry,
high
school
and
I,
write
and
I
am
him
a
instructor.
F
We
don't
call
ourselves
teachers,
we
call
ourselves
classroom
cultures
actually
with
the
office
of
like
no
student
achievement
within
the
applicable
schools
and
so
I
rent
to
a
lot
of
these
young
men
throughout
the
community.
That
I
see
within
my
schools.
In
my
work
outside
the
school
kind
of
mirrors,
the
work
we
do
in
school
right
in
school
and
focusing
on
academics
and
behavior
but
outside
school
I
can
focus
socialization
in
the
community
aspect.
I
Thank
you
and
our
last
piece
about
the
tertiary
work
is
around
our
intimate
partner
violence,
intervention
strategy,
which
is
another
model
that
we've
been
talking
with
John
Jay
College
about,
and
that
graciously
and
thank
you
to
the
council.
There
were
some
dollars
allocated
in
the
budget
for
this
year
for
us
to
begin
piloting
that
work
slide
please.
So
the
intimate
partner
violence
accounts
for
a
large
portion
of
the
violence
that
we
see
here
in
Minneapolis
and
again
speaking
to
the
the
group
violence
intervention
strategy.
I
We
know
that
by
no
means
do
we
have
that
problem
completely
figured
out,
but
we
think
that
we
do
have
some
really
good
tools
to
help
people
who
are
group
involved.
So
it's
time
for
us
to
explore
some
of
the
other
issues
in
our
city
and
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
respond
to
them
in
a
way
that
is
equally
meaningful.
The
effects
of
IPV
are
particularly
damaging
because
we
know
that
exposure
to
childhood
violence
is
one
of
the
precursors
to
being
involved
in
violence
later
in
life
and
intimate
partner.
I
Violence
is
often
one
of
those
exposures
that
young
people
have.
That
can
be
very
formative
around
their
ideas
about
violence
and
using
it
as
a
tool
for
conflict
resolution.
So
we
think
it's
particularly
important
to
be
working
with
families
on
the
issue
of
intimate
partner
violence
so
that
we
have
a
safer
and
healthier
Minneapolis
in
the
future
and
that
we're
also
addressing
the
needs
in
the
immediacy
of
right
now,
the
2020
city
budget,
as
I
said,
did
it
count
for
some
dollars
for
us
to
begin
this
work,
and
so
we
are
excited.
I
We
have
already
began
to
negotiate
some
work
with
John
Jay
College,
and
they
will
be
here
in
the
spring
to
begin
doing,
an
audit.
The
audit
is
particularly
important,
I
think
to
the
model
overall
and
what
it
does
is
begin
to
look
at
all
of
the
incidents
that
are
coded
as
domestic
violence
by
our
Police
Department
in
every
city.
That
is
doing
this
model.
I
Doesn't
audit,
it's
really
important
to
being
able
to
say
that
we're
standing
on
a
research
based
model
that
we're
not
just
arbitrarily
saying,
oh
well,
the
cunningham
family's
always
had
domestic
violence
problems,
so
we
better
focus
on
them,
but
that
they
were
really
looking
at
a
data
set.
That
gives
us
an
idea
of
how
we
can
support
families
who
have
the
deepest
needs
and
individuals
who
are
most
likely
to
be
batters
are
involved
in
intimate
violence.
I
And
so
we
want
to
be
sure
and
clear
about
what
the
data
is
telling
us.
When
we're
looking
at
codes
for
domestic
violence
and
making
sure
that
we're
able
to
deploy
the
right
kind
of
resources
when
families
are
struggling
with
this
issue,
whether
it
be
intimate
partner
or
some
other
form
of
what
gets
coded
as
domestic
violence,
so
we're
very
excited.
Minneapolis
will
be
one
of
the
first
cities
to
really
do
put
some
teeth
on
this
model,
and
so
we're
excited
to
continue
the
trend
of
innovation.
I
Around
domestic
violence
in
a
state
like
Minnesota,
which
has
been
a
real
jetsetter
on
the
issue
of
domestic
violence,
and
it
brings
something
that
looks
at
holistic
approaches
to
helping
families
who
are
dealing
with
this
issues.
So
we
will
continue
to
provide
updates.
But
it
is
another
realm
of
violence
that
we
are
seeing
our
work
transition
into.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
presentation
and
I
am
really
looking
forward
to
getting
into
the
intimate
partner
and
domestic
violence
work.
So
thank
you
for
including
that
as
well.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues
all
right?
Seeing
none.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do.
