prevention.
B
E
Good
afternoon,
thanks
for
having
us
my
camera
on
here,
so
I've
got
our
newest
crime
analyst
with
today
and
she's
going
to
be
walking
through
the
statistical
part
of
the
the
crime
trends
and
emerging
patterns.
So
if
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
look
forward
to
the
next
slide,
the
first
part,
as
you
know,
is
going
to
be
the
crime
snapshots
and
then
we'll
talk
about
the
property
crime
snapshots
and
then
I'll
wrap
it
up
with
some
basic
action
plans
that
will
be
taken
as
a
department
to
address
some
of
the
emerging
crime
trends.
F
F
Looking
at
property
crime,
overall
property
crime
is
lower
in
2021
year.
To
date,
auto
theft
is
also
down
sorry
for
the
red
there.
Arson
is
up
a
touch.
There
are
a
couple
more
incidents
compared
to
this
time
2020.,
but
we
like,
I
said,
we're
seeing
lower
rates
for
burglary,
larceny
and
then
theft
from
motor
vehicle,
as
well
as
auto
theft.
F
F
F
F
Turning
to
robbery
next,
so
I
believe
my
my
colleagues
austin
and
scott
sort
of
identified
carjacking
over
the
last
year
as
being
an
emerging
trend,
so
we've
been
tracking
that
and
that
continues
to
increase
they
tend
to.
The
third
precinct
tends
to
be
where
the
highest
number
of
carjacking
incidents
occur.
About
40
of
the
citywide
total,
followed
by
the
fourth
precinct
and
the
second
precinct
other
robbery
transfers.
G
D
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
and
actually
question
just
had
to
do
with
guns,
and
I
don't
even
know
that
you
would
have
the
answer
necessarily,
but
I
feel
bad
that
I
haven't
been
trying
to
figure
this
out
more.
So
we
recovered
314
guns.
We
recovered
them
because
they
were
being
held
illegally
or
did
we
find
them
somewhere
and
do?
D
Are
we
doing
much
to
figure
out
where
the
guns
are
coming
from?
It
feels
like
there's
just
such
a
proliferation
of
handguns
that
are
getting
in
the
city
that
are
getting
in
the
hands
of
oven
in
juveniles
hands,
and
I
I'm
not
an
expert
in
all
of
this,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
if
we
could
stop
the
flow
of
guns
into
our
city,
that
would
also
have
some
repercussions
and
shot
spotters
and
rounds
fired
and
all
the
other
violent
crimes
that
are
committed
with
guns.
D
E
E
Now
I
think
the
decrease
in
guns
can
really
be
seen
a
couple
different
ways,
and
you
know
last
year's
instances
a
lot
of
times
we
get
guns
recovered
in
search
warrants
and
traffic
stops,
so
there
may
have
been
instances
in
which
there
was
a
larger
number
of
guns
that
were
recovered
at
any
one
time.
So
I
think
what
I
can
say
with
a
high
level
of
certainty
is
that
we
are
consistently
recovering
guns
each
week,
even
though
the
numbers
may
be
down.
E
As
you
know,
the
chiefs
made
a
plea
for
to
other
agencies
to
help
assist
us
in
that.
Given
our
staffing
situation,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
that
answers
specifically,
but
I
would
agree
with
you
and
anecdotally
that
if
we
can
get
more
guns
off
the
street,
I
think
that
there's
a
likelihood
that
could
could
impact
those
other
types
of
metrics.
We
use
like
the
shot,
spotter
activations,
the
number
of
rounds
being
fired
and
and
dcc's
being
recovered,
which
are
all
metrics.
D
E
Right
so
I
think
yeah.
So
if
we,
if
we're
taking
gun
in
as
evidence,
it's
part
of
an
ongoing
criminal
investigation,
and
so
I
think
all
of
those
things
that
you
talked
about
are
possibilities
that
are
occurring
or
that
have
occurred.
A
good
example
is
the
incredible
increase
in
guns
that
have
been
stolen
out
of
vehicles.
That
will
be
covered
a
little
bit
here
in
the
in
the
presentation
coming
up,
and
so
that's
an
area
that
we
had
seen
before
people
weren't
leaving
guns
as
frequently
in
their
cars,
unsecured.
E
E
D
And
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
can
do
or
anybody
in
the
city
who
might
be
watching
this-
could
do
especially
if
we
land
on
possible
solutions
is
push
for
some
kind
of
better
regulations
that
could
help
curb
some
of
this,
but
also
better
education,
especially
if
it's
these
guns
being
stolen,
obviously
guns
need
to
be
stored
more
safely,
some
way
or
another.
So
that's
an
interesting
thing
that
wasn't
part
of
my
list,
so
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
G
G
G
Thank
you
and
then
ma.
The
last
part
of
this
is
as
we
talk
about
things
like
people.
Turning
in
guns,
I
recognize
that
with
kovid.
Perhaps
we
have
not
been
able
to
do
some
of
the
I'm
not
sure
what
to
call
them,
but
essentially
the
gun,
turn-in
events
that
between
county
partners
and
city
partners
and
other
jurisdictions
we've
been
able
to
coordinate.
E
E
What
we
found
is
that
the
vast
majority
of
the
the
guns
turned
in
are
not
of
evidentiary
value,
they're,
mainly
old
guns
that
aren't
operating
operational
or
they're
guns
that
aren't
linking
to
other
types
of
crimes
and
even
if
they're
turned
in,
we
don't
have
a
starting
place
for
it.
So
unless,
if
there's
some
type
of
a
forensic
match,
we
don't
really
have
anywhere
to
go
with
it,
because
it's
often
done
under
amnesty.
B
Thank
you
I'll
ask
one
question
on
my
own:
before
we
move
on,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
interesting
gun
violence.
Right
now
for
obvious
and
important
reasons,
I
think
getting
to
the
question
of
how
traffic
stops
are
a
part
of
how
gun
recovery
happens.
I
guess
I'm
I'm
curious
about
how
untargeted
that
seems
to
be.
I
remember
we
received
a
presentation
last
year
where
you
know
something
like
a
quarter
of
a
percent
of
you
know.
E
Yeah
and
it's
and
it's
a
bit
complicated
and
and
compounded,
but
I
think
for
maybe
a
different
discussion
or
a
follow-up.
I
could
dig
into
that
a
little
bit
more
intentionally
to
look
at
the
particulars,
but
what
I
can
say,
the
traffic
stop
coding
or
that
reference
that
type
of
a
police
interaction.
E
You
know
it's
it's
hard
to
break
it
down
as
to
what's
routine
or
random
patrol
or
an
officer
is
driving
around
seeing
some
type
of
a
traffic
violation,
initiates
a
traffic
stop
and
then,
during
the
course
of
that
the
the
search
is
expanded
for
whatever
reasons
and
then
ultimately,
a
gun
has
recovered,
as
opposed
to
more
the
proactive
side
of
investigations.
Where
you
know
somebody
or
you
believe,
somebody's
in
possession
of
a
gun,
they
have
to
be
driving.
E
So
it's
something
that
I
can
definitely
look
into
and
get
back
to
you
with
a
little
bit
more
specifics,
but
I
will
say
that
I
believe
the
majority
of
the
traffic
stops
that
are
at
least
captured
this
year,
which
is
going
to
be
significantly
lower
in
in
total,
are
related
to
proactive
or
directed
traffic
stops,
as
opposed
to
the
more
routine
I
hate
to
use.
It
were
routine
traffic.
Stop,
but
more
what
I
think
the
general
public
considers
to
be
a
the
normal
type
of
a
traffic.
E
B
F
F
All
right
moving
on
to
some
property
crime
details.
This
is
a
look
at
burglary
and
I
apologize.
The
slide
is
a
bit
off.
Burglary
has
decreased
for
2021,
not
increased,
and
so
dwelling
as
well
as
businesses
down.
You
can
see
the
counts
there
and
then
I
believe
at
the
last
meeting
in
march
there
was
some
discussion,
perhaps
around
burglaries,
where
the
victim's
vehicle
was
also
stolen.
F
That
trend
does
seem
to
have
sort
of
fallen
a
bit
and
looks
like
it's
back
to
kind
of
normal
with
2020
numbers,
so
it
isn't
increasing
anymore,
like
I
guess
it
was
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
and
then
just
mentioning
burglaries
of
businesses
just
give
you
an
idea.
They,
the
trend
tends
to
be
targeting
restaurants
or
sort
of
common
areas
of
apartment
buildings
such
as
storage
areas
and
garages.
B
F
Thefts
from
motor
vehicles,
I'm
sure
most
are
familiar
with
the
catalytic
converter
thefts.
Those
are
still
up
in
2021
still
targeting
toyota
priuses
honda,
crv
honda
elements
typically
also
seeing
an
increase
in
the
theft
of
license
plates.
I
guess
typically,
we
would
see
a
decrease
as
auto
thefts
are
increasing,
but
so
far
the
they're
still
on
the
rise.
The
theft
of
license
plates
theft
from
vehicles,
though,
is
down,
but,
as
commander
case
mentioned,
the
concerning
trend
is
that
theft
of
firearms
from
vehicles
has
been
up.
F
F
So
auto
thefts
overall
are
a
bit
lower
year
to
date
compared
to
2020
but
still
sort
of
above
the
2017
to
2019
average
and
the
trend
that
we're
seeing
with
many
vehicles
that
gets
stolen
is
that
they're
left
running
unattended
so
potentially
when
someone's
making
a
delivery
or
warming
or
cooling
their
car,
as
it
might
be
that
that's
that's
when
they
tend
to
tend
to
be
stolen,
the
trend
is
continuing
and
normally
we
would
see
a
decrease,
but
that
just
hasn't
been
the
case.
So
far.
E
Our
robbery
unit
have
really
been
working
a
lot
together
on
those
cases
involving
juveniles
and
then,
as
far
as
the
auto
stuff
portion
of
it.
You
know
lindsay
mentioned
the
vehicles
left
running
and
unattended,
which
continues
continues
to
be
a
consistent
trend
again
messaging
to
residents.
As
best
we
can
to
you
know,
say:
don't
leave
your
vehicles
running
lock
it
when
you
leave
park
it
appropriately
and
then
continue
to
work
with
our
auto
theft
prevention
program
coordinator
to
strategically
place
the
bait
vehicles,
which
has
been
a
success
over
the
past
year
and
a
half.
B
B
I
know
this
committee
has
advocated
previously
strongly
for
gbi
as
a
as
an
approach
and,
and
that
requires
a
level
of
coordination
and
data
sharing
and
and
work
together
and
and
we've
advocated
expanding
that
into
some
of
the
juvenile
work,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
reaching
out
to
the
people
who
we've
identified
as
as
likely
to
be
involved
in
these
robberies,
so
that
we
can
get
engaged
in
that
from
a
prevention.
Standpoint
is.
B
Is
that
what
you're
talking
about
when
you
say
when
you
kind
of
talk
about
that
collaboration?
It
sounded
like
in
the
in
the
mayor's
plan
that
that
that's
a
direction
that
we're
moving
and
that's
something
that
that
we're
all
starting
to
come
together
on.
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
see
if,
if
you
can
share
any
more
about
how
that
collaboration
is
going
or
what
steps
we're
taking
to
deepen
that
collaboration
and
get
that
data
sharing
moving
so
that
we
can
really
be
doing
the
violence
prevention
work
together.
E
Yeah,
I
don't
have
any
real
specifics
to
report
on
other
than
I
know
we've.
You
know
we
meet
with
ovp
regularly
every
week
every
wednesday
we
talk
about
gun
crimes
and
shooting
related
incidents,
and
so
there's
been
definitely
a
transfer
of
information
with
the
people
that
we
believe
are
involved
and
we've.
You
know,
historically,
for
the
past
four
plus
years,
been
involved
with
ovp
from
the
beginning
on
on
kind
of
that
g
very
modeling.
E
So
I
know
that
deputy
chief
wait
has
reached
out
to
director
cotton
and
I'm
sure
they're
having
conversations
about
how
they
can
strategize,
especially
with
the
summer
coming
up
and
how
best
to
use
the
interventors
in
in
conjunction
with
what
we
do
and
how
they
can
maybe
help
on
investigations
where
we're
not
finding
success.
Maybe
they
can
have
some
inroads
with
people
ultimately
coming
to
some
type
of
closure
for
those
cases
so,
but
to
the
specifics,
I
guess
I'll
defer
to
the.
I
think
josh
is
here
from
ovp.
B
H
Thank
you,
chair
fletcher.
I
appreciate
that
so
I
am
josh
peterson
and
I'm
a
manager
with
the
office
of
violence
prevention
in
the
health
department
and
before
I
jump
in,
I
just
want
to
say
just
start
by
saying
that
our
hearts
really
break
for
the
families
of
the
children.
Who've
been
victims
of
violence
over
the
past
few
weeks
and
for
the
communities
that
surround
and
support
those
young
folks
to
have
children.
H
So
young
impacted
by
such
serious
violence
really
is
just
a
devastating
profound
tragedy,
and
so
today
we
keep
anaya
and
davion
and
trinity
and
their
families
in
our
thoughts.
As
we
talk
about
this-
and
we
do
that
also
just
thinking
about
the
many
other
grandchildren
and
children
and
siblings,
and
parents
and
caregivers
and
friends
and
neighbors
and
community
members
whose
lives
have
been
lost,
we're
impacted
by
violence
in
the
city
and
elsewhere.
H
So
I
wanted
to
start
by
sort
of
saying
that
naming
that
and
then
also
just
saying
that
our
director
sasha
cotton
typically
is
the
one
who
provides
these
monthly
status
updates,
and
she
wanted
to
be
here
today,
but
she's
been
pulled
away
to
actively
work
on
some
of
the
coordination
and
support
around
some
of
what's
been
happening.
So
she
asked
that
I
step
in
today
and
provide
some
of
those
updates,
and
I
will
do
that.
H
But
before
I
do,
I
just
want
to
touch
on
a
couple
of
things
that
she
has
been
working
on
and
that
our
office
have
been
working
on
directly
related
to
what's
been
happening
over
the
past
couple
weeks.
So
our
next
step,
hospital-based
founds
intervention
program,
which
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
in
a
minute,
has
actively
been
working
with
a
number
of
the
families
who
have
been
impacted
by
some
of
the
violence.
That's
been
happening
in
the
past
few
weeks.
H
In
addition,
the
community
outreach
and
support
teams
that
we
have
worked
with
over
the
past
month
or
so
have
had
a
presence
supporting
some
of
the
events
that
have
been
happening
recently
and
so
they've
been
able
to
be
out
supporting
when
there
have
been.
You
know,
groups
of
folks
gathering,
which
has
been,
I
think,
a
helpful
presence
in
community
we're
also
coordinating
training
for
our
minneapolis
strategic
outreach
initiative,
which
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
in
depth
about
in
a
bit
director.
H
Cotton
has
ensured
ovp
presence
at
a
number
of
the
the
vigils
and
the
gatherings
that
have
been
happening
and
also
has
really
been
working
on
coordinating
across
partners.
You
know
really
sort
of
in
our
role
around
making
sure
that
folks
are
coming
together
around
violence
prevention
and
then
also.
Lastly,
we've
also
been
in
touch
with
some
of
our
national
partners
around
this
work.
H
You
know
what's
been
happening
here
is
really
devastating,
but
unfortunately
it's
not
unique
to
minneapolis
right
now
and
similar
levels
of
violence
are
being
seen
in
a
number
of
cities
across
the
country,
and
so
we
are
really
working
to
sort
of
leverage,
not
only
all
of
our
local
resources,
but
also
our
national
resources
as
well
and
really
get
in
touch
with
national
experts
and
ta
providers.
That
we've
worked
with
for
some
support
around
this
too.
So
I
want
to
relay
some
of
that
action.
H
H
Excuse
me
in
in
march
2021
the
next
step
staff
who
is
going
to
be
based
at
northwestern
actually
was
hired
and
services
began.
So
we
are
officially
on
the
ground
now
in
the
third
hospital
and
then
this
month,
actually
as
of
this
month,
next
step
is
now
fully
staffed
to
be
able
to
provide
24
7
coverage
at
the
three
hospitals.
So
that's
a
program
manager,
five
case
managers,
one
full-time
hospital,
responder
and
then
six
part-time
hospital
responders,
so
we're
pleased
that
we're
now
sort
of
at
full
capacity
to
serve
those
three
hospitals
next
slide.
H
B
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
This
goes
back
to
the
next
step.
Slide,
I'm
just
curious.
You
know
we
have
worked
hard
to
fund
next
step,
first
with
one-time
money
and
then
in
other
ways-
and
I
know
that
abbott
northwestern
had
been
working
on
this
program
even
before
our
helper
involvement
in
last
year's
budget
cycle.
But
I'm
curious:
how
is
it
going?
Do
you
have
any
sense
as
to
whether
next
step
is,
is
being
effective
and
is
being
impactful
for
all
of
these
gun
violence,
victims
that
are
showing
up
to
these
hospitals?
G
H
A
H
Do
have
some
data
available
for
the
implementation
at
north
memorial
and
at
hcmc
I'd
be
happy
to
provide
some
more
specific
data
at
a
future
meeting.
But
generally,
I
can
say
a
few
things
one.
There
has
been
a
pretty
strong
response
in
terms
of
engagement
in
services
engagement
in
so
stepping
back
for
just
a
second
or
the
web
services.
H
H
Folks,
then,
who
are
engaging
in
the
post-discharge
follow-up
community-based
services.
We've
also
seen
some
really
good
response
in
terms
of
folks
who
are
creating
goal
plans
and
who
are
achieving
success
towards
some
of
those
goal
plans.
So
that's
sort
of
one
bucket
of
metrics
we
look
at
is
in
terms
of
engagement
and
in
terms
of
sort
of
progress
toward
goals,
recognizing
that
this,
this
framework
and
model
is
based
on
evidence-based
models.
That
say
that
if
you
can
ensure
fidelity
and
ensure
that
folks
are
engaging,
you
are
likely
to
see
results.
H
The
last
data
I
have
on
that
is
prior
to
2020,
but
that
data
looked
pretty
good
in
terms
of
the
number
of
folks
who
were
coming
back
with
the
same
or
similar
injury
to
the
hospital
numbers
were
were
significantly
lower
than
the
data.
The
research
suggests
for
folks
who
do
not
have
a
hospital-based
intervention
there
and
I'd
be
happy
to
follow
up
and
provide
some
of
that
data.
2020
was
obviously
a
unique
year
for
many
reasons.
We
had
the
coveted
pandemic.
H
H
From
what
we
hear
from
individuals
and
families
who
come
through
the
program,
they
are
telling
us
what
what
a
profound
impact
it's
having
to
be
able
to
find
safe
and
stable
housing
to
be
able
to
access
mental
health
care
or
physical
health
care,
to
be
able
to
find
employment,
to
be
able
to
access
trauma
groups
and
sort
of
just
the
impact
that
that
has
on
their
own
healing
and
the
healing
of
their
families.
So
I
do
think
that
it
is
showing
impact,
and
I
I
do
think
that
the
investment
has
been
warranted.
G
H
Chair
fletcher
councilmember
problem
yeah.
I
think
that
is
a
fantastic
point.
I
think
that
success
looks
different
for
everyone
who
comes
through,
and
I
think
that
that's
one
reason
why
we
don't
necessarily
have
just
sort
of
a
single
catch-all
metric
that
says.
Yes,
you
have
been
a
successful
participant
or
no,
you
haven't,
because
someone
may
need
you
know
we
may
have
one
victim
who
really
just
needs
to
access
the
state's
crime
victims
reparation
system
in
order
to
get
some
funding
to.
You
know,
repair
some
sort
of
financial
harm
that
is
associated
with
their
injury.
H
You
may
have
someone
else
who
needs
something
much
more
deep
in
terms
of
finding
a
new
place
to
live
and
finding
a
way
to
support
their
young
child
and
to
have
one
catch-all
metric.
There
doesn't
necessarily
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense
and
that's
why
we
think
in
terms
of
sort
of
creating
a
goal
plan
for
whatever
makes
sense
for
you
and
achieving
success
toward
that
goal
plan,
and
then
I
think
you're
right.
H
The
recidivism
piece
is
a
big
part
of
it
in
the
sense
that
one
of
the
goals
of
next
step
is
to
interrupt
the
cycle
of
violence
in
the
cycle
of
retaliatory
violence.
But
you
know,
I
think
we
know
that
violence
is
very,
very
complex
and
there
are
many
things
that
may
create
violence.
So
when
we
think
about
that,
we
can't
necessarily
draw
the
the
causal
relationship
between
everything
that
a
person
maybe
gets
or
doesn't
get
in
recidivism.
G
And
I
would
imagine
that
one
of
the
bigger
drivers
of
this
is
to
get
people
away
from
any
sort
of
retaliatory
violence
and
also
make
sure
that
they
have
the
tools
and
the
the
safety
that
they
need
to
to
get
out
of
that
situation.
With
that
relationship
with
that
group
of
people
or
that
other
person
where
they
think
that
that
cycle
of
violence
will
continue
right.
H
Sheriff
fletcher
cuts
upon
us
paul
masano.
I
do
think
that
that's
right.
I
think
that
you
know,
as
I
mentioned
before,
all
victims
are
a
little
different
and
there
are
you
know.
I
think
the
research
says
that
if
you've
been
hurt
once
you
may
be
a
greater
likelihood
of
being
hurt
again,
you
also
may
be
a
greater
likelihood
of
perpetrating
the
violence
that
was
done
to
you,
and
so
I
think,
certainly
there
are
some
victims
who
maybe
are
not
at
very
high
likelihood
of
continuing
that
cycle
of
violence
through
their
own
actions.
H
But
there
are
some
who
are,
and
so
a
big
component
of
the
program
is
trying
to
interrupt
and
provide
those
skills
to
those
folks
and
to
provide
the
messaging
to
those
folks
that
really
continue
that
cycle
of
violence
is
not
something
that's
acceptable
and
providing
that
positive
alternative
that
may
help
them
get
off
that
path.
Thank.
H
Chair
fletcher,
so
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
project
life,
which
is
our
version
of
the
group,
violence,
intervention
strategy
and,
just
again
as
a
quick
reminder,
this
is
an
evidence-based
approach.
That's
based
on
a
partnership
between
community
members,
social
service
providers
and
law
enforcement.
H
That
really
is
bringing
those
folks
together
to
address
the
most
serious
violence
that
is
coming
from
groups
or
gangs
who
are
responsible
for
driving
a
high
percentage
of
the
serious
violence
that
happens
in
cities,
and
so
we've
been
implementing
that
since
2017
and
have
served
over
350
folks
since
then,
and
just
a
couple
of
quick
updates
around
gvi
right
now.
The
first
is
something
actually
that
you
mentioned
previously
chair,
fletcher
around
sort
of
a
youth-focused
adaptation
of
gvi.
H
So
that's
something
that
has
been
in
the
works
for
a
little
while
now
and
we
do
continue
to
make
some
progress
on
that
with
our
jurisdictional
partners.
You
brought
up
some
data
sharing
roadblocks
that
we
have
seen
in
the
past.
We
have,
I
think,
seen
some
pretty
good
progress
in
the
last
month
around
those
data
sharing
roadblocks,
and
so
I
think
that
we
are
in
a
position
where
we're
going
to
be
able
to
get
receive
and
share
the
information.
H
H
She
was
the
one
who
was
really
the
point
person
on
this
and
she
has
retained
that
work
since
being
director,
and
it's
just
really
not
feasible
for
her
to
do
all
of
those
things,
because
she
has
so
much
on
her
plate
as
director.
So
we
are
pleased
that
we're
going
to
be
increasing
our
staff
capacity
in
the
ovp
and
we're
going
to
be
bringing
on
somebody
who's
really
going
to
be
solely
focused
on
our
gun,
violence,
reduction
initiatives
and
particularly
gvi,
and
we
expect
that
person
to
start
next
month
in
june
next
slide.
Please.
H
So
the
last
thing
I
want
to
provide
an
update
on
is
our
minneapolis
strategic
outreach
initiative
and
then
again
this
is
just
sort
of
by
way
of
kind
of
a
refresher.
This
is
a
coordinated
effort
to
prevent
reduced
violence
in
the
city
that
relies
on
both
the
wisdom
and
expertise
and
influence
of
local
communities,
but
then
also
drawing
inspiration
from
evidence-based
models
of
this
kind
of
violence,
prevention
and
intervention
work.
H
So
the
central
sort
of
way
the
model
works
is
that
trusted
community
members
are
brought
in
as
violence
interrupters
and
those
folks
serve
on
neighborhood
specific
teams
to
be
out
in
community,
detecting,
potentially
violent
situations,
providing
support
and
resources
to
folks
who
are
at
high
risk
of
involvement
with
violence
and
then
using
informal
mediation
and
on
non-violent
non-physical
conflict
resolution
skills
to
really
interrupt
and
de-escalate
situations
before
they
become
violent.
So,
just
to
be
clear,
these
are
folks
who
are
unarmed
and
they're
not
providing
law
enforcement
services.
H
H
Since
2000
in
city
cities
across
the
country
and
actually
across
the
world
and
have
really
seen
some
pretty
striking
success
in
terms
of
violence,
interruption
work
through
some
external
evaluations,
so
we
engaged
with
them
in
august
of
last
year
around
some
technical
assistance
in
implementation
planning
next
slide.
Please.
H
So
then,
in
december
of
2020,
additional
investment
was
made
in
the
2021
budget
to
expand
implementation
of
this
model,
and
so
in
2021,
now
we've
been
working
on
that
additional
or
that
expansion
toward
broader
implementation,
and
so
in
february,
2021.
That
included
issuing
a
competitive
rfp
to
identify
eligible
partner
agencies
who
are
capable
of
supporting
teams
of
violence
interrupters
on
the
ground.
H
So
through
that
rfp
we
have
identified
agencies
who
are
going
to
be
able
to
provide
services
in
six
zones
this
year
in
the
city.
So
we
have
two
zones
in
north
minneapolis.
We
have
two
zones
in
south
minneapolis,
we
have
a
downtown
zone
and
then
we
have
a
cedar
river
side
zone
and
so
we're
working
through
contract
negotiations
on
those
now
and
once
those
contracts
have
been
executed,
we
can
provide
some
more
details
about
who
those
agencies
are
they're,
going
to
be
providing
services
in
those
six
zones.
H
So
then,
this
month
and
early
next
month
we
are
working
on
getting
training
from
cure.
Violence
so
again
cure
violence.
Is
that
the
national
organization
that
really
sort
of
created
this
model?
So
they
are
really
well
positioned
to
train
teams
and
how
to
implement
versions
of
this
model,
and
our
version
is,
is
sort
of
a
hybrid
between
some
of
our
kind
of
local
knowledge
and
expertise,
but
then
it's
really
sort
of
drawing
from
cure,
violence's
principles
and
so
being
able
to
bring
them
in
to
actually
have
them.
H
Train
on
this
is
a
really
really
significant
asset.
I
think
it
will
really
help
with
implementation
and
then
once
training
is
the
first
round
of
training
is
complete
in
early
june.
We
anticipate
that
services
will
roll
out
sort
of
the
second
week
in
june
next
slide,
please
and
then.
Finally,
I
just
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
those
trainings
to
give
folks
a
sense
of
kind
of
what
the
teams
will
be
getting
as
before,
they're
getting
out
and
as
they're
getting
out.
H
So
the
trains
will
include
a
five-day
foundational
training,
around
violence,
interruption
and
reduction
for
the
interrupters,
as
well
as
a
management
training
for
sort
of
the
management
level
staff,
the
directors
at
the
organizations
who
are
going
to
be
overseeing
teams
of
violence.
Interrupters
then,
there's
a
section
on
documentation,
so
documentation
tools
and
techniques
really
for
capturing
the
impact
of
this
work,
because
we
know
that
it's
so
important
not
just
to
do
the
work,
but
also
to
understand
the
impact
that
it's
having
both
from
a
process
standpoint.
H
So
we
can
understand
what's
going
well
and
what
maybe
we
need
to
improve
on,
but
then
also
from
a
sustainability
standpoint.
It's
important
to
understand
the
impact
as
well
and
then
conflict
mediation
techniques.
So
the
folks
that
are
going
to
be
working
on
these
teams
already
come
with
a
lot
of
these
skill
sets.
But
we
think
it's
important
to
have
a
foundational
grounding
for
everybody
to
be
approaching
conflict
mediation
from
the
same
sort
of
lens.
H
Also
thinking
about
this
idea
of
risk
reduction,
planning
and
sort
of
non-traditional
case
management,
so
part
of
the
model
involves
interrupting
conflict
as
it's
happening.
But
inevitably
that
means
working
with
folks
who
are
at
high
risk
of
involvement
with
violence,
and
often
those
folks
have
needs
for
additional
supports
and
resources,
and
so
part
of
the
model
is
about.
How
can
we
provide
those
resources
and
supports?
But
it
is
not
a
not
a
traditional
case
management
model
where
we
have
necessarily
long-term
relationships
with
those
individuals
and
so
thinking
about
sort
of
what
non-traditional
case.
Management
approaches.
H
Is
such
a
huge
piece
of
what
happens
to
communities
when
violence
happens,
and
so
in
order
to
think
about
how
we're
supporting
communities
in
rejecting
violence
as
a
norm
and
how
we're
supporting
folks,
who
are
maybe
at
risk
and
being
involved
with
violence.
We
really
need
to
think
about
trauma
and
addressing
trauma
as
a
core
component
of
that.
B
B
I
know
we
were
asking
questions
as
we
went
so
we
may
have
gotten
our
questions
answered,
although
I
see
councilmember
gordon
turning
his
camera
on,
so,
oh
and
and
then
turning
it
back
off.
So
I
believe
with
that
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
file
this
report
and
seeing
no
further
business
before
us,
and
if
