Is
there
any
discussion
on
any
of
these
items.
E
B
B
A
Well,
I
did
have
a
walk-on
item
that
I
forwarded
to
you
and
to
the
city
clerk
with
the
rca
that
I
wanted
to
bring
to
the
committee
today.
You
know,
and
I
just
wanted
to
remind
you
of
that,
and
all
committee
members
also
saw
it,
and
I
can
do
that
at
the
end.
Yeah
I'd
like
to
add
that
to
the
agenda.
Thank
you.
B
Yeah
that
sounds
good,
we'll
go
ahead
and
add
it
after
our
two
discussion
items.
Thank
you
councilmember
all
right,
so
I
wanted
to
flip
our
discussion
items
today,
since
we
do
have
some
guests
with
the
minneapolis
workplace
advisory
committee,
worker
outreach
and
engagement
report,
so
today
we'll
be
receiving
and
filing
a
report
related
to
recommendations
from
the
subcommittee
for
downtown
workers
for
safeguarding
the
health
and
well-being
of
the
downtown
workforce
as
the
downtown
economy
returns
from
the
shutdown
due
to
the
covet-19
pandemic.
B
F
I
will
thank
you
so
much
chair,
cunningham
good
afternoon
great
to
be
here.
As
always,
my
name
is
brian
walsh.
I
am
the
director
of
labor
standards
enforcement
within
the
city
civil
rights
department,
I'll
give
a
very
brief
context,
which
you
actually
just
kind
of
explained
well
and
then
pass
it
off,
because
we
do
have
some
guests
and
it's
better
to
hear
directly
from
them.
F
During
the
pandemic,
a
subcommittee
was
formed
to
consist
of
and
address
specifically
worker
issues
related
to
the
pandemic,
that's
essential
workers
and
then
looking
towards
the
reopening,
specifically
in
the
downtown
area.
So
the
downtown
workers
subcommittee
has
been
meeting
for
the
last
since
it
was
created
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
year.
I
want
to
say,
since
january
or
february
we
have
veronica
mendez-moore
and
a
couple
of
workers.
F
I
think
we're
able
to
log
in
to
our
meeting
here
to
share
some
of
the
recommendations
that
they've
been
working
on
actually
responsive
to
a
staff
direction
from
this
committee
when
the
the
subcommittee
was
formed.
So
with
with
that
context,
I
would
like
to
pass
it
off
to
veronica
mendes
more
to
walk
through
some
of
the
work
and
some
of
the
recommendations
that
they
have
prepared.
G
Great,
thank
you
so
much
brian,
and
and
thank
you
all
it's
great
to
be
here
and
be
able
to
present
this
report
to
you
all
about
this
important
topic.
As
you
know,
the
staff
direction
was
written
to
in
january
or
february
to
really
to
hear
from
the
set
of
workers
and
really
try
to
figure
out
how
we
make
sure
we
can
reopen
safely
and
downtown.
G
Given
that
it's
such
an
important,
you
know
engine
for
the
economy
in
in
our
city,
and
so
you
know,
workers
have
been
meeting,
we've
been
having
conversations
with
workers
and
the
rest
of
the
other
folks
on
the
workplace
advisory
committee
to
figure
out
like
what,
especially
looking
from
the
workers
perspective,
who
are
on
the
ground
every
day
and
really
feeling
the
impacts.
And
this
is
we're
talking
about
mostly
low-wage
black
and
brown
workers
like
who
are
feeling
the
impacts
of
the
pandemic
most
acutely
and
also
workplace
violations.
G
So
obviously
there
have
been
some
shifts
in
in
the
pandemic
moment
since
when,
since
we
started,
obviously
we're
not
completely
out
of
the
woods
but
like
there
have
been
some
shifts,
there's
no
longer
a
mass
mandate.
We
were
really
pleased
to
see
the
mayor.
You
know
offer
up
to
employers
that
the
city
can
provide
masks
for
any
employer
that
is
requiring
workers
for
mass.
We're
really
pleased
to
see
that
that
was
one
of
the
original
recommendations
we
made.
G
However,
there
are
still
areas
where
we
have.
There
are
four
main
recommendations
and-
and
I
will
confess,
I'm
not
100
sure
if
you've
received
this
document
and
if
you
have
not,
we
will
make
sure
that
it
gets
out
to
you
immediately,
but
the
the
recommendations
of
the
downtown
workers
council.
So
there
are,
there
are
four
main
recommendations.
D
G
A
A
G
H
I
want
to
talk
a
bit
about
our
first
recommendation
here
from
the
council,
and
I
want
to
begin
with
a
bit
of
an
act
from
my
life
specifically
working
through
the
pandemic.
We
had
a
number
of
our
staff
at
my
specific
worksite
who
had
to
spend
multiple
rounds
of
court,
so
they
had
to
take
not
only
the
14
days.
I
was
originally
prescribed
by
the
cdc,
but
many
after
that
they
have.
Many
of
them
have
fallen
significantly
kind
of
their
bills,
and
this
isn't
today.
H
H
In
addition
or,
alternatively,
the
city
should
use
a
portion
of
the
american
rescue
plan,
federal
funding
to
pay
essential
workers,
the
back
pay
they
deserve,
based
on
those
covet
related
losses.
In
order
to
try
to
staunch
that
bleeding
and
make
sure
that
people
are
able
to
support
themselves,
not
only
as
we
begin
to
open
up,
but
potentially,
as
we
begin
to
experience
further
restrictions.
G
So
this
is
really
you
know,
whatever
we
have
not
been
able
to
pass
on
a
state
level
to
really
ensure
that
we
can
lift
that
up
on
a
city
level.
The
second
is
is
worker
training.
It
became
very
clear
during
the
pandemic,
who
was
disproportionately
impacted
and
the
significant
incredible
need
for
for
training
for
for
low-wage
workers,
particularly
the
most
vulnerable
workers
in
the
most
vulnerable
industries,
to
have
access
to
training
from
the
city
such
that
they
could
actually
access
their
rights
so
in
in
the
last
few
months
of
200.
G
We
know
that
whatever
the
next
crisis
that
hits,
we
know
who's
going
to
be
disproportionately
impacted
and
let's
prepare
our
workforce
and
let's,
let's
be
thinking
about
equity
with
a
longer
term
lens.
So
that's
that's
the
second
piece.
The
third
piece
is
around
the
city's
funding,
the
city's
co-enforcement
model
and
xavier
did
you
want
to
speak
to
that.
H
So
our
the
third
recommendation
here
in
this
committee
is
the
bump
up
to
eight
full-time
investigators
and
labor
standards
and
enforcement,
and
additional
800
or
800
thousand
dollars
in
community
contracts.
So
clearly
we're
going
to
have
to
address
that
gap
in
enforcement,
that
gap
of
oversight
and
we've
found
anecdotally.
H
Unfortunately,
I
can't
use
canberra
right
now,
but
I
myself
am
a
brown
worker
and
I
have
found
just
as
our
group
has
anecdotally,
there's
a
there's,
a
large
racial
disparity
in
who
workers
feel
comfortable
approaching
where
many
white
workers
will
feel
comfortable
approaching
you
directly.
But
many
black
and
brown
workers
will
feel
far
more
comfortable
approaching
a
community
partnership
such
as
the
kind
that
we're
being
represented
by
this
community
today.
G
Thank
you
and
finally,
our
fourth
recommendation
is
around
continuing
to
explore
the
possibility
of
using
city
permitting
and
licensing
as
a
lever
to
ensure
that
businesses
are
are
doing
the
right
thing
by
workers.
So
you
know
using
them
as
a
lever
of
power
for
companies,
including
those
that
are
accepting
money
from
the
city.
G
You
know
during
this
you
know
with
the
arpa
funds
that
that
place,
that
where
we
see
that
they're
placing
workers
in
broader
community
in
danger
by
refusing
to
abide
by
workplace
safety
and
labor
standards
that
that
permitting
and
licensing
can
be
used
as
a
lever,
and
we
think
about
that
with
you-
know,
restaurants
and
other
sorts
of
food
service
that
are
being
that
are
licensed
by
the
city
and
also
permitting
when
it
comes
to
construction
work
sites.
Where
we've
seen
a
tremendous
amount
of
there's
been
a
tremendous
amount
of
concern
over
the
last.
I
B
Thank
you,
veronica,
thank
you
as
well
xavier,
so
we
actually
did
get
this.
So
thank
you
very
much
so
for
the
public.
Also
to
be
aware,
it
is
connected
to
this
request
for
council
action
on
the
limbs
l-I-m-s
website,
so
you're
able
to
go
through
and
and
find
it
there.
So
there's
some
really
great
detail.
So
thank
you
for
being
so
thorough
and
thank
you
for
your
presentation
today.
F
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
This
really,
I
think,
lives
up
to
the
hopes
of
when
we
formed
this
downtown
workers.
Council.
You
know
it's
really
our
intention
as
a
city
to
make
sure
that
we're
hearing
from
everybody
and
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
getting
advice
and
guidance
from
everybody.
That's
not
always
the
case
in
cities,
it's
something
that
we're
really
striving
to
proactively
change.
E
You
know
you
you've,
given
us
a
good
list
to
look
at.
I
think
this
is
aligned
with
a
lot
of
the
priorities
that
we've
talked
about.
Generally
about
improving
enforcement
mechanisms,
improving
outreach,
improving
education,
I
think
there's
things
that
we
certainly
should
be
taking
a
closer
look
at,
and
I
really
just
appreciate
both
the
fact
that
this
presentation
is
happening
and
the
quality
and
thought
that
went
into
it.
So
thank
you
to
everybody
who
put
the
work
into
this.
E
Thank
you
to
all
the
workers
who
shared
their
experience,
both
in
this
report
and
to
us
as
constituents.
It
has
really
informed
our
work
on
as
veronica
noted,
on
right
to
recall
and
and
on
some
of
the
other
efforts
that
we've
made
and
it'll
continue
to
inform
our
work
moving
forward.
So
thank
you
so
much.
B
A
Yeah,
I
just
also
wanted
to
extend
my
gratitude
for
the
report
and
for
the
recommendations.
I
think
they
generally
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
I
think
adding
that
many
investigators
is
going
to
be
a
budget
decision
that
we
have
to
make,
and
I
have
to
say
the
timing
is
perfect
for
this,
because
this
is
right.
A
Now
is
when
we're
getting
those
kind
of
recommendations
and,
of
course,
we'll
be
paying
careful
attention
to
what
the
department
itself
is
asking
in
terms
of
resources
and
also
what
the
mayor
is
going
to
be
proposing
and
recommending
as
it's
coming
forward.
But
I
now
have
made
note
of
that
in
my
notes
of
the
things
I
want
to
dig
into
and
look
at
and
have
conversations
about.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
on
and
all
your
efforts
and
look
forward
to
getting
as
much
done
out
of
those
recommendations,
as
is.
B
Possible
I'll
just
add,
lastly,
here
that
we
would
not
be
as
far
as
where
we
are
with
worker
rights
without
your
partnership
veronica.
So
you
are
an
amazing
community
leader.
You
really
have
helped
set
the
an
example
of
what
is
possible
for
the
work,
not
only
here
in
minneapolis
but
across
the
country,
and
so
you
are
just
really
doing
some
amazing
work
and
we're
very,
very
lucky
in
minneapolis
to
to
have
to
have
you
here
and
to
call
you
a
partner
and
all
that
we
do
so.
B
Thank
you.
I
look
forward
to
digging
into
this
more
that
because,
as
council
member
gordon
mentioned,
these
are
some
budget
decisions
and
it's
really
good
time
for
us
to
be
digging
into
that.
I'm
really
looking
where
there's
opportunities
for
policy,
so
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
partner
with
you
offline
so
that
we
can
move
this
work
forward.
So
thank
you
to
you.
Thank
you
to
everybody
on
the
team
and
thank
you
brian,
for
your
work
as
well.
B
Thank
you
all
right,
so
I
will
now
direct
to
the
clerk
to
please
file
that
report.
Next
up,
we
have
our
monthly
community
safety
update,
so
we're
going
to
be
receiving
and
filing
a
presentation
from
mpd
and
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
So
we
have
commander
jason
case
as
well
as
crime
crime
data
analysts,
austin
rice,
scott
wolfert
and
lindsey
larson,
as
well
as
director
sasha
cotton
from
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
So
commander
you
usually
kick
us
off,
so
I
will
turn
it
over
to
you.
Thank
you.
J
Thanks
sharon
good
afternoon,
thanks
for
having
us
we're
going
to
stay
with
the
same
script
here,
I'll
start
out
with
overview
of
citywide
violent
crime
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
property
crimes.
So
I'll
turn
the
first
part
over
to
austin,
and
he
can
kind
of
give
you
an
overview
here
and
then
towards
the
end.
We'll
have
a
discussion
on
a
follow-up
item
that
was
brought
up
last
meeting
on
use
of
force
so
austin.
I
Great
thank
you
commander.
If
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
great,
thank
you
so
to
start
we're
looking
at
year-to-date
violent
crime,
that's
covering
january
1st
to
july
26th,
which
was
just
this
last
monday,
looking
at
our
homicides
on
a
four-year
average,
so
the
previous
four
years,
we
averaged
26
homicides
at
this
time
of
year.
Last
year
we
were
at
42,
and
this
year
we
are
at
50
homicides
through
this
last
monday,
which
is
a
one-year
percent
change
of
19
increase.
I
I
Every
time
we
come
here
every
other
month,
they
kind
of
flip
places
from
being
up
or
down
slightly
within
one
or
two
percentile
points.
So
I
would
categorize
that,
as
fairly
consistent,
but
overall
trends
from
a
four-year
average,
it's
both
are
increasing
slightly
arson
down
16.3
percent
from
where
we're
at
this
time
last
year,
of
course,
we
saw
numerous
buildings
and
other
arson
events
take
place
during
the
summer
of
2020
and
just
a
reminder,
arson
can
be
anything
purposefully
set
on
fire
from
a
trash
can
to
a
building
a
car.
K
And
next
slide:
okay,
great.
So
the
first
thing
I'll
touch
on
here
is
the
shooting
victims
and
I
have
the
table
separated
into
kind
of
a
recent
look
back.
So
since
our
last
meeting
on
june
22nd
until
july,
26th
they're
on
the
left-hand
side,
the
previous
four-year
average
is
50
gunshot
wound
victims
for
this
time
period
in
2020
we
had
108
and
so
far
so
far
in
2021.
For
this
time
period
we
had
71.
K
K
We
are
at
286
and
that's
the
percent
change
increase
of
25
and
the
previous
four
years
that
the
average
has
been
181
and
then
just
kind
of
looking
at
kind
of
the
same
type
of
thing
that
we've
been
providing
in
the
past
is
just
a
little
bit
of
the
demographics
and
makeup
of
the
individuals
that
have
sustained
gunshot
wounds.
So
far
this
year,
83
have
been
male
and
19
have
been
female.
K
That
number
has
shifted
slightly
a
percent
into
the
male
category
as
less
females
have
been
shot
since
our
last
meeting
in
terms
of
racial
background,
83
percent
are
african-american.
11
are
white,
which
also
includes
hispanic
victims.
Three
percent
are
unknown
and
they're.
Two
percent
of
the
total
were
native
american
and
one
percent
asian,
the
top
two
age
groups
of
victims
of
gunshot
wounds.
K
K
So
far
as
we
were
approaching
week,
number
30
here
for
the
year
to
move
on
to
the
next
slide,
and
this
is
just
like
a
kind
of
a
recent
look
back
at
what
we're
seeing
for
shot,
spotter,
activations
kind
of
at
the
tail
end
of
last
year.
You
can
see
week
51.
the
top
graph
is
activations.
The
lower
graph
is
the
number
of
rounds
we've
been
detecting
and
obviously
there's
been
a.
K
So
when
we're
looking
back,
I
look
back
at
in
2020
from
basically
the
pre,
the
the
time
of
our
meeting
from
june
22nd,
the
previous
meeting
to
the
last
monday
here
of
7
26.
So
in
2020
there
was
891
activations
and
over
4200
rounds
detected.
So
that's
really
when
we
saw
the
escalation
of,
especially
when
it
comes
to
shot
spotter.
The
number
of
rounds
detected
as
you
can
see
when
looking
back
at
2019,
that's
almost
the
entire
year's
worth
and
in
2020
we
experienced
that
in
just
roughly
one
month.
K
K
So
far
we
had
recovered
556
guns
as
evidence
so
far,
and
that
is
a
six
percent
decrease
from
2020
which
had
592
guns.
Just
to
note,
too,
that
percent
decrease
has
kind
of
been
slowly
shrinking
at
one
point,
it
was
in
the
20
percentile
difference
and
so
now
we're
down
to
six.
So
definitely,
I
think,
moving
in
the
right
direction.
K
I
mean
in
the
right
direction
as
we
kind
of
get
a
larger
part
of
the
years
we
move
more
than
halfway
through
the
year
and
then
the
chart
at
the
bottom
just
indicates
where
the
locations
of
the
guns
have
been
recovered.
As
you
can
see,
approaching,
200
guns
in
the
fourth
precinct
making
up
nearly
36
percent
of
the
total
and
the
the
next
highest
is
109
and
that's
nearly
20
percent
of
the
total
recoveries
in
the
third
precinct.
K
Next
slide,
please,
and
just
touching
on
the
robbery
category
looking
at
carjackings
since
our
last
meeting
we've
had
32
and
for
the
year
that
brings
the
total
to
261,
and
the
percent
change
compared
to
last
year
is
78
increase
and
note
there.
That
number
has
kind
of
been
dwindling,
the
the
difference
between
the
percent
change
and
so
we're
seeing
a
more
stable,
steady,
constant,
but,
albeit
lower
number
of
carjackings
that
we
had
seen
earlier
this
year
and
late
last
year,
robbery
of
businesses.
K
Overall
of
all
robberies
there
had
been
205
since
our
last
meeting,
and
so
far
for
the
year
there
have
been
a
thousand
and
49,
which
is
a
16
increase
which
austin
covered
in
the
crime
statistics.
Part
of
it.
Just
a
couple
notes
about
what
we've
been
seeing
and
with
the
overall
different
kind
of
robbery
categories.
K
Those
have
also
been
concentrated
in
the
same
that
same
geographic
area.
In
addition
to
the
area
neighborhood
of
mercy,
homes,
especially
mercy
homes,
easter,
what's
commonly
referred
to
as
dinky
town
and
then
also
the
warehouse
district
downtown,
so
those
are
two
other
areas
in
addition
to
the
area
that
I
mentioned
in
regards
to
the
carjacking,
where
we're
kind
of
seeing
concentrations
of
these
robbery
person
and
aggravated
robberies.
K
I
So
diving
into
burglary
patterns,
specifically
through
july
26th,
we've
touched
on
this
in
previous
meetings,
and
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
it
as
we're
seeing
very
similar
trends.
Continuing
the
pattern
of
burglaries
that
I
highlighted
last
time
involving
individuals
being
targeted
that
were
outside
doing
yard
work,
and
we
kind
of
had
a
couple
weeks
span
there,
where
people
were
entering
unlocked
homes
as
individuals
were
working
outside.
Taking
advantage
of
the
nice
weather.
I
We've
seen
that
sort
of
dissipate
the
last
couple
weeks,
which
is,
is
good
news
and
that
is
also
contributing
to
our
continued
decrease
of
18.7
percent
of
burglaries
of
dwellings,
we're
at
837
for
2021,
which
is
continuing
our
decrease
overall
over
the
last
few
years,
we're
seeing
overall,
less
garage
burglaries.
Although
of
course
after
I
said
that
last
time
we
saw
a
small
spike
in
garage
burglary
activity
targeting
bicycles
left
in
unlocked
garages
along
with
other
miscellaneous
valuable
items
and
then
looking
at
our
business
burglaries.
I
Of
course
we
have
the
anomaly
and
we
will
live
with
the
anomaly
for
years
to
come
in
our
crime
data
of
2021,
with
increased,
looting
and
burglary
activity
across
our
city
last
summer.
So
at
this
time
in
2020
we
had
1
130
business
burglaries
up
from
368
in
2019
this
year.
We're
at
550,
which
is
a
more
than
50,
did
decrease
from
this
time
last
year.
However,
it
is
significantly
higher
than
what
we
saw
in
2019
and
years
prior
to
that
as
well.
I
I
wanted
to
highlight
again
the
subset
of
burglaries
with
vehicles
stolen.
We
have
seen
a
continued
increase
in
burglaries
in
which
individuals
are
accessing
single-family
homes
by
or
apartments
apartment
units,
by
unlocked
doors
in
the
event
of
an
apartment,
and
also
unlocked
windows
with
it
being
hot
here
in
minneapolis,
and
people
like
to
leave
their
windows
open,
there's,
individuals
that
are
taking
advantage
of
that
and
entering
people's
homes
via
open
windows
or
unlocked
windows
and
we're
seeing
thefts
of
purses,
wallets
keys
and
subsequently
vehicles.
I
Moving
on
to
the
next
page
that
from
motor
vehicles,
we
are
still
struggling
with
catalytic
converter
thefts
and
really
wanted
to
put
the
message
out
of
we've.
Had
a
lot
of
citizens
call
when
they
hear
things
which
has
interrupted
plenty
of
activity,
we
want
to
continue
to
encourage
that.
We
are
continuing
to
see
a
35
increase
from
2020,
which
2020,
of
course
was
when
we
saw
sort
of
the
exponential
increase
start
to
take
off
of
these
catalytic
converter
thefts
and
of
note
as
well.
This
is
not
just
a
minneapolis
problem.
I
Our
neighbors
around
the
metro
and
across
the
united
states
are
seeing
an
increase
in
these
catalytic
converter
thefts
for
the
precious
metals
inside
of
them.
Theft
of
license
plates
are
up
67
percent
as
well.
We
typically
see
depth
of
license
plates
associated
with
an
increase
in
stolen
vehicles,
as
offenders
will
swap
plates
on
the
stolen
vehicles
to
evade
detection
for
that
stolen
car
and
then
theft
from
motor
vehicles,
traditional,
maybe
smashing
a
window
or
opening
an
unlocked
door
to
steal
items
left
inside
we're.
I
Just
noting
the
common
makes
and
models
of
catalytic
converter
thefts
as
well
being
twitter,
prius,
honda,
crv
and
on
element.
However,
we
are
seeing
seeing
a
lot
of
thefts
of
various
makes
and
models.
So
it's
not
just
exclusively
these
cars
people
are
taking
advantage
of
all
types
of
opportunities.
I
Next
slide,
please
on
diving
a
little
bit
deeper
into
our
auto
theft
trends.
So,
looking
at
our
auto
thefts,
I
mentioned
before
from
this
time
last
year
we
are
slightly
above,
but
about
even,
however,
we
have
seen
a
very
consistent
increase
in
auto
thefts
over
the
last
few
years,
26
increase
as
well
in
recovered
stolen
vehicles
from
outside
of
minneapolis,
so
various
different
cities
across
minnesota.
I
We
are
seeing
a
more
of
their
stolen
vehicles
originating
out
of
those
cities
being
left
behind
or
transported
to
minneapolis,
and
we
also
are
still
seeing
an
increase
in
vehicles
stolen
while
left
running
unattended.
Most
often
these
are
citizens
or
visitors
to
our
city
that
will
pull
up
to
a
storefront
or
a
friend's
house
or
anything
of
that
nature
and
in
for
whatever
reason,
leave
their
car
running.
Typically,
we
see
this
activity
in
the
winter,
mostly
with
people
warming,
their
cars
or
trying
to
get
the
heat
going.
I
However,
the
activity
is
continuing
into
the
summer
time
when
we
typically
do
not
see
this,
and
it's
typically
always
the
same
story.
I
just
left
my
car
for
two
minutes
to
go
in
and
grab
something
from
a
restaurant
or
a
store,
so
we
really
want
people
to
stop
leaving
their
their
vehicles
left
running
unattended,
and
it
would
make
a
very
sizable
impact
on
our
auto
thefts
if
that
activity
was
to
cease
next
slide.
Please-
and
I
will
actually
turn
it
back
over
to
commander
case,
to
touch
on
our
city-wide
action
plans
from
here.
J
As
far
as
robberies
go
scott
touched
on
this
as
well
as
far
as
the
trend
in
the
area.
One
of
the
things
that
is
a
little
bit
different
from
last
month
is
the
downtown
or
precinct.
One
is
in
collaboration
with
the
did.
A
public
awareness
campaign
called
be
smart
and
it's
nothing
new.
It's
just
mainly
focused
around
be
aware
of
your
computers
and
your
phones
and
don't
have
them
out,
make
sure
they're
secure
that
type
of
a
thing
and
then
we're
also
coordinating
more
intentionally
with
proactive
investigative
follow-up
related
to
robberies.
J
There
was
a
an
increase
this
past
week
down
in
the
fifth
precinct,
so
we
responded
fairly
quickly
in
that
area
with
the
proactive
units
to
try
to
locate
some
of
the
suspects
at
least
disrupt
some
of
that
activity
and
then
auto
theft.
I
think
austin
covered
that
fairly
well
and
again,
we
just
encourage
people
to
change
their
behavior
with
their
vehicles
and
turn
them
off.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
commander
case
and
everyone
for
the
presentation.
One
question
just
on
the
sort
of
action
plan
around
auto
theft
in
particular
I've
been
getting
more
questions
from
constituents
lately
about
what
are
we
doing
to
get
to
get
upstream
a
little
bit
who's,
creating
a
market
for
stolen
cars?
E
What
what's
putting
money
into
you
know
this
it.
It
feels
like
a
lot
of
random
acts,
but
obviously
somebody's
buying
catalytic
converters,
somebody's
buying.
You
know
vehicles,
there's
there's
probably
a
little
bit
of
you
know,
kind
of
kind
of
upstream
regional
investigative
work
that
that
people
are
at
least
theorizing
might
get
to.
E
J
Yeah,
so
I
think
it's
really
a
supply
and
demand
as
far
as
it
goes
with
the
catalytic
converters,
so
austin
touchdown
with
the
precious
metals
the
driving
factor
behind
stealing
like
a
catalytic
converter,
is
the
money
that
can
be
recouped
from
that.
And
that's
really
you
know,
that's
private
industry.
I
know
that
there's
been
some
conversation,
I
think
in
the
legislature
about
restricting
some
of
that.
But
you
know
that's
definitely
not
an
area
that
that
I
can
speak
it
to
any
type
of
confidence.
J
He
had
mentioned
it
a
couple
months
ago
about.
We
want
people
to
call
in
when
they
hear
something
strange,
odd
noises
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
That
is
our
best
disruptive
tool.
Right
now
is
the
public
just
being
aware
and
calling
us,
and
we
may
not
catch
the
person
in
the
act,
but
if
we
can
be
in
the
area
or
they
see
a
light
flip
on
that's
going
to
change
their
behavior
and
potentially
disrupt
that.
J
What
would
have
been
a
stolen
catalytic
converter
and
then
on
the
side
of
the
theft
from
auto
vehicle
of
the
actual
the
motor
vehicles?
I
don't
know
that
there's
a
great
market
for
the
the
sale
of
parts
or
what
we
would
traditionally
or
historically
call
like
a
chop
shop.
I
know
those
exist,
but
really
it's
about
using
those
vehicles
and
other
types
of
crimes,
so
they
use
them.
J
We
used
to
call
it
jerry
riding
we
used
to
you
know,
but
they
are
definitely
involved
in
other
acts
of
either
violent
crime,
robberies
or
getting
from
one
place
to
the
next
to
commit
another
series
of
crimes,
whether
it
be
other
carjackings
or
robberies
of
businesses
or
burglaries
in
that
area.
So
I
think
that's
not
so
much
about
supply
and
demand
question
as
far
as
them
getting
a
monetary
value
and
stealing
that
car,
it's
really
more
something
they're
using
to
facilitate
their
criminal
behavior.
B
J
Sure
so
I
think
it
it's
depending
on
the
topic
right
so
from
a
gun.
Violence
perspective
are
probably
our
three
biggest
partners:
our
primary
partners,
alcohol,
tobacco
and
firearms.
So
the
atf
they
have
special
agents
embedded
with
one
of
the
units
that
I
oversee
the
gun
investigations
unit,
and
we
also
work
very
closely
with
the
federal
bureau
of
investigation,
so
the
fbi
and
then
the
department
of
homeland
security,
investigative
group
and
so
between
those
two,
those
three
they're
really
our
biggest
partners
in
traditional
gun,
violence,
firearms
related
crimes
and
then
the
dea.
J
So
the
drug
enforcement
administration
is
one
of
our
biggest
partners
federally
for
combating
and
disrupting
drug
trafficking
in
the
metro
area,
and
so
that
they're
really
the
lead
agency
for
that
entity
and
they
they
kind
of
fluctuate
or
they
they
come
in
and
out
of
our
operations
depending
on
what
we're
doing
and
what
they
see.
As
a
as
a
need
for
resources
to
be,
I
guess,
deployed
into
into
our
area.
We
also
have
the
u.s
attorney's
office
on
the
federal
side
from
a
prosecutorial
standpoint.
J
So
if
there's
a
local
or
state
case
that
we've
worked
up
and
it
meets
those
federal
standards
or
or
hits
that
benchmark
then
or
that
threshold,
then
we
can
certainly
use
one
of
our
federal
partners
and
they
will
what's
called
adopting
that
case.
They'll
present
that,
on
our
behalf
to
the
federal
prosecutors
for
review
and
that's
how
that
becomes
a
federal
case,
as
opposed
to
a
state
case.
B
L
L
J
I
I
will
make
it
a
point
to
follow
up
with
them
to
see,
because
much
like
commander
case
said,
I
don't
think
anything
is
a
bad
idea,
considering
sort
of
our
lack
of
the
ability
to
to
really
influence
this.
This
trend,
that
is
at
an
alarming
rate
over
the
last
two
years
for
sure.
So
I
hope
that
answered
your
question.
B
Great
so
the
next
question
that
I
was
hoping
to
ask
is-
and
maybe
this
is
a
conversation
for
the
next
presentation-
if,
if
this
isn't
the
right
space
for
it,
but
some
money
was
included
in
the
arp
phase.
One
approval
process
through
the
city
council
for
a
violent
crime,
hot
spot
task
force
task
force,
and
so
I
am,
I
would
imagine
that
that
was
under
your
wheelhouse
commander
and
so
or
is
under
your
wheelhouse.
B
I'm
curious
if
you
have
any
updates
on
that
part
of
it
and
then
the
second
part
is.
I
know
that
last
summer
our
federal
partners
played
you
know
a
role
in
having
their
own
task
force
like
I
believe
it
was
focused
on
gun
trafficking
into
the
city.
Do
we
have
anything
like
that
this
summer,
because
that's
been
a
big
issues,
just
like
more
guns
on
the
streets
and
so
so
curious
about
those
two
pieces.
J
Maybe
we
can
follow
up
with
that
next
meeting
or
I
can
connect
with
you
directly
if,
if
that's
helpful,
whatever
you
prefer
and
then
as
far
as
kind
of
where
things
are
from
the
federal
side
of
partnership
is
the
summer
initiative
and
also
our
state
partnerships
or
the
bca
has
been
phenomenal
at
helping
coordinate
some
of
this
activity
to
you
know
in
support
of
helping
us
impact
gun
violence,
so
the
it's
a
little
bit
different
than
it
was
last
summer.
There
was
a
much
more
they
were.
J
J
So
this
year
we
did
kind
of
the
same
similar,
but
a
little
bit
of
a
hybrid.
So
there
is
an
in
a
group
of
intel
analysts
working
very
hard
to
identify
those
people
that
they
believe
are
the
most
prolific
in
terms
of
using
violence
or
participating
in
violence,
and
so
you
know
they
they
make
their
their
assessments
and
that's
disseminated
amongst
many
different
operational
groups
and
some
of
which
is
just
people
with
warrants
or
outstanding
court
cases
where
they
or
they
have
to
be
adjudicated
on
or
probation
and
parole
violations.
J
And
then
others
are
just
folks
that
would
be
are
known
to
be
participants
in
in
group
violence.
So
that's
kind
of
what
we've
decided
to
do
this
summer
and
the
the
federal
partnership,
it's
kind
of
like
a
little
bit
of
an
ebb
and
flow.
What
I
mentioned
earlier
when
it
rises
to
that
occasion
or
they
see
that
they
can
help
and
assist
they'll
step
in
and
it's
a
very
mutually
agreed
upon
process.
So
it's
been
working.
I
think
quite
well.
B
B
J
Okay,
so
this
was
really
this
discussion
was
brought
up
a
couple
meetings
ago
and
I
think
again
last
time
and
it's
really
about.
Why
is
it
that
there
is
an
increase
in
the
so
I
lost
my
screen
here
here
we
go.
Why
is
it
that
there's
an
increase
in
reported
use
of
force
by
mpd
officers
and
the
most
obvious
reason
that
we've
talked
about
is
the
fact
that
we
changed
the
reporting
requirements
back
in
september
october
of
last
year
and
so
items
that
we
wouldn't
have
historically
required
reporting
on?
J
J
You
know
on
the
I've
got
on
the
last
bullet
point
there
is
we
want
to
rebuild
their
use
of
force
dashboard
in
a
way
that
it
most
accurately
depicts
our
officers
useful
for
us
and
that
it
tells
a
story-
that's
easily
digestible
for
people,
so
that
it,
if
it
has,
you
know
a
tendency
to
generate
questions,
they
can
easily
be
answered
as
opposed
to
creating
confusion
which,
just
you
know,
that's
not
helpful
for
anybody.
So
I
already
talked
a
little
bit
about
what
the
changes
were.
J
Some
of
the
the
challenges
that
we're
seeing
and
lindsay
who's
on
on
the
line
here.
She
she
can
jump
in
at
any
point
here,
but
she's
really
been
the
person
behind
the
scenes
trying
to
pull
apart
the
the
different
data
fields
and
the
tables
and
we've
been
working
really
closely
with
our
rit
group,
who
were
blessed
with
having
such
a
good
group
of
people
in
our
iit
department,
they're,
incredibly
intelligent,
but
even
with
all
that
intelligence,
it's
it
is
really
complicated.
J
As
far
as
how
all
of
this
is
amassed
within
our
records
management
system,
so
trying
to
understand
what
that
looks
like
in
coming
up
with
an
end
way
of
counting
force
is
what
I'm
trying
to
get
to
next
with
this
group,
and
I
think
once
we
get
there,
that's
something
that
we
can
present
out
and
probably
just
a
standalone
presentation
or
at
least
carve
some
time
out,
because
it
will
be
fairly.
I
think
helpful
for
everybody
to
understand
the
the
nuances
and
what
goes
to
detailing
all
force.
J
J
It
wasn't
designed
to
to
accurately
represent
it
based
on
the
new
use
of
force,
reporting
standards.
So
it's
it's.
It
is
showing
an
increase
and
there
is
an
increase
in
use
of
force
reporting.
But
what
I'm
trying
to
determine
is,
if
there's
an
actual
change
in
the
use
of
force
as
what
we
had.
Historically
been
using
or
if
the
use
of
force
is
just
more
specifically
related
to
the
new
requirements
that
that
we've
started,
you
know
last
fall
if
that
makes
sense,
any
questions
on
that
from
anybody.
B
J
Right
singing,
I
think
I'm
not
sure
what
the
next
slide
is,
if
you
could
flip
it
yeah.
So
that
was
that
was
the
last
slide.
So
it's
it's
not
as
much
as
what
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
present
to
to
you,
chair
and
into
the
council,
and
so
I
feel
badly
for
that.
But
I
would
rather
push
pause
and
make
sure
we
get
something
right.
J
Lindsay's
been
working
incredibly
hard
to
try
to
paint
that
picture
for
everybody,
and
so
you
know,
as
we
go
along
I'll,
make
sure
to
be
very
intentional
and
deliberate
about
providing
updates
and,
as
we
get
some
visualization
I'll
share
that
with
with
everybody,
so
that
you
can
see
what
the
progress
has
been.
If
that's,
that
sounds
like
an
okay
plan.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and,
and
thank
you
for
that
update.
I
I
appreciate
and
understand
the
challenges
that
can
come
up
with
trying
to
compare
data
across
systems
and
make
all
that
work.
I
do
think
it's
very
important,
though,
that
we
prioritize
making
sure
that
we
are
able
to
accurately
assess
which
direction
use
of
force
is
going,
and
you
know
how
do
we
understand
that?
I
think
this
is
something
it's
one
of
the
things
that
we
take
most
seriously.
E
I
think,
as
a
community
and
and
as
a
city
is
that
we
provide
the
authorization
to
use
force
on
our
behalf,
and
that
comes
with
a
moral
obligation
to
make
sure
that
we're
understanding
and
monitoring
how
that's
being
used
and
making
sure
that
we
feel
like
it's
appropriate,
and
so
it
is
frustrating
to
sort
of
you
know,
have
have
the
data
not
give
us
a
as
clear
a
picture
as
as
you
know
as
we
might
like.
So
I
I
I
appreciate
the
update.
E
This
is
something
we're
gonna
continue
asking
about,
and-
and
I
know
it's
something
that
you're
working
on
so
you
know
the
sooner
we
can
get
to
to
clarity
around
this-
the
better
speaking
of
data
clarity,
one
issue
I
raised
with
you
offline
that
I
want
to
make
sure
to
ask
about.
Is
there
was
a
a
public
report
in
the
press,
noting
that
there's
been
a
decrease
in
reporting
the
race
of
the
person
involved
in?
E
J
Yeah,
I
I
didn't
read
the
article,
so
I
don't
really
have
much
comment
on
that,
but
I
can
speak
to
your
question
and
it's
a
good
question
and
what
we
found
is
that
so
the
race
category,
that
race
field,
when
it's
filled
out,
happens
in
a
couple
different
ways
and
when
an
officer
is
actually
filling
out,
what's
called
the
force
details
page,
there
is
not
a
section
in
there
to
capture
a
person's
race.
So
that's
not
a
question.
J
That's
specifically
related
in
the
force
details
page
so
we're
getting
into
some
of
the
nuances
of
our
rms
system,
but
so
just
bear
with
me.
So
how
it
works
is
if,
if
you're
the
officer-
and
you
stop
me-
and
you
end
up,
arresting
me
for
something-
and
it's
my
first
time,
you're
going
to
enter
in
all
that
information
at
some
point.
J
One
of
the
questions
you
may
ask
me
is
what
my
race
is,
or
I
may
not
be
able
to
provide
it
to
you
or
I
just
don't
point
being
is
when
you
make
that
first
record.
My
name
goes
into
our
records
management
system
and
that's
then
recorded
wherever
you
fill
out.
That,
first
time
the
race
of
whatever
you
pick
is
in
there.
J
So
take
that
example
now
and
go
down
a
couple
months.
Another
officer
stops
me
ends
up
using
force
on
me.
They
go
to
fill
out
their
force,
details,
reporting
section.
They
select
my
name
it
autofills,
whatever
was
previously
filled
in
so
if
you
had
selected
unknown
it
just
automatically
captures
that
unless,
if
they
change
it
so
there's
you
know,
I
think
we
can
probably
do
a
better
job
of
auditing
that
section
of
it
or
those
instances,
instances
in
which
race
is
either
unknown
or
not
reported
to
see
if
it
could
be
more
accurately
reported.
J
E
J
Yeah,
I
know
I
agree.
I
think
data
entry
is
important
right
because,
when
you're
trying
to
report
out
on
it,
you're
only
going
to
get
a
report,
that's
as
good
of
what
you
put
into
it.
So
you
know
it's
one
of
those
things
that
we're
looking
at.
I
guess-
and
I
think
it's
something
that
they
can
continue
to
report
out
on
to
you
and
the
rest
of
the
the
the
committee
as
we
move
forward
when
we're
building
out
this.
The
the
dashboard.
A
A
We
don't
hear
it
about
it
when
the
response
time
is
immediate
and
quick
and
efficient,
and
I
know
from
personal
experience
and
just
in
my
area
that
it
often
is,
but
we
do
hear
about
it
when
it
has
taken
a
long
time
or
didn't
happen
so
tracking
that
might
be
interesting
on
a
precinct
level
or
some
way.
What
is
the
response
to
an
emergency
call
for
the
police?
What's
our
average
time?
What
are
our
goals,
those
kinds
of
things
we
certainly
tracked
them
in
the
past,
and
the
other
thing
is
what
what's?
A
How
are
we
doing
with
investigations
and
making
arrests?
And
I
know
that
once
that
happens,
it
goes
further
up
the
process,
but
that's
something
I
think
we're
curious
about,
because
I
think
we
want
to
understand
that
we're.
We
have
the
resources,
we
need
to
do
good
investigations
and
those
kinds
of
things
too.
You
don't
have
to
necessarily
respond
to
these
now
commander
and
I'm
not
expecting
you
to
maybe
deliver
at
your
next
committee
report,
but
something
for
us
to
think
about
as
we're
going
forward.
A
J
So
you
you
bring
up
a
couple
of
really
good
points
and
they're
often
questions
that
come
up
whether
it's
response
time
and
I
can
do
a
better
job
of
kind
of
capturing.
Our
investigative
response,
something
that's
often
overlooked
when
it
when
people
are
considering
or
thinking
about
policing
in
general,
they
think
of
911
or
uniform
patrol
response.
But
a
huge
component
of
policing
is
definitely
that
investigative
response
and
not
just
what,
like.
J
My
teams
do
as
far
as
on
a
proactive
side
but
the
reactive
side
of
investigations
and
it's
honestly,
quite
a
large
untold
story,
so
I'll
I'll
pull
some
stuff
together.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
and
I'll
include
that
in
the
next
presentation.
So
you
can
get
maybe
a
snapshot
of
our
investigative
response.
J
B
F
B
You
both
all
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
questions
or
comments
in
the
queue.
So
thank
you
commander.
Thank
you.
Team
per
usual
great
work.
I
definitely
appreciate
a
good
crime
data
analysis
and
so
each
month,
this
presentation
is
a
good
opportunity
for
us
to
really
dig
into
what's
happening
in
our
city
and
be
able
to
think
through
together
the
what
what
can
what's
happening
and
how
are
we
making
sure
to
communicate
this
to
our
constituents
and
making
sure
we're
aligning
resources
in
the
best
way
possible.
M
M
While
I'm
waiting
for
slides
to
pop
up,
I
will
just
say,
as
we
think
about
some
of
our
most.
You
know
recent
work,
our
interrupter
teams
are
out
and
on
the
ground
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
work
and
the
presentation.
But
I
am
waiting
to
wrap
up
here
so
that
I
can
go
to
an
interrupt.
Your
team's
event
that
they're
hosting
at
pv
park
is
the
first
annual
south
side,
violence
prevention.
I
think
they're
calling
it
summit,
but
it's
a
huge.
M
You
know
barbecue
and
event
out
in
community.
Our
interrupter
teams
are
really
trying
to
do
a
good
job
of
making
relationships
in
community
and
being
a
presence
in
community.
So
we're
really
excited
about
that
event.
That's
going
on
at
pb
park
today
from
two
to
eight,
so
anyone
who's
out
in
community,
please
feel
free
to
stop
by
and
join
us
for
free
meal
and
lots
of
fun
activities
and
lifting
up
the
fact
that
our
communities
deserve
violent,
free
environments
to
engage
and
live
healthy,
violent
free
lives.
M
So
without
further
ado,
I
will
jump
right
in
if
we
could
go
to
the
first
slide.
Please
so
normally
we
celebrate
youth
violence
prevention
week
over
spring
break.
It
is
an
annual
celebration
really
focused
on
both
highlighting
the
issue
of
youth
violence
as
a
chronic
issue
and
recognizing
that
young
people
are
at
particular
high
risk
for
involvement
with
violence.
M
We
do
it
during
spring
break
in
minneapolis,
because
we
know
that
young
people
really
need
things
to
do
this
year
with
covet
restrictions.
We
decided
to
push
that
timeline
out
into
june
and
really
lift
it
up.
As
a
kickoff
to
summer,
we
successfully
sponsored
over
20
community
events
in
pretty
much
all
the
corners
of
minneapolis.
We
were
really
pleased
with
the
work
and
we
we're
so
pleased
to
turn
out
the
number
of
applications.
M
The
way
that
the
ads
went.
Also
again,
recognizing
that
young
people
are
still
at
a
deficit
for
positive
youth
development
and
engagement.
We
decided
to
do
another
round
of
violence
prevention
week
this
year.
So
it's
the
first
time.
We've
ever
done
two
violence
prevention
weeks
in
the
same
year,
but
we
felt
like
it
was
important
to
again
look
at
ways
to
provide
young
people
with
connections
to
caring
adults
and
positive
activity.
So,
at
the
end
of
the
summer,
the
week
of
august
23rd
we'll
be
hosting
another
youth
violence
prevention
week.
M
So
the
kinds
of
activities
we
saw
in
our
first
round
were
about
a
lot
of
basketball
tournaments,
a
lot
of
barbecue
based
or
cookout
events
and
community
meals.
We
had
the
hope
and
healing
fest,
which
was
a
parking
lot
in
north
minneapolis.
That
was
providing
a
lot
of
resources
and
activities
really
focus
on
a
family,
friendly
environment,
lots
of
art
events
this
year,
our
first
youth
violence
prevention
week,
coincided
with
the
week
of
juneteenth.
M
Also,
some
events
really
focused
on
engaging
with
young
people
about
knowing
their
rights
and
understanding
how
to
engage
appropriately
with
law
enforcement
and
to
better
understand
what
they
have
rights
to
ask
for
as
they're
engaging
with
law
enforcement.
We
saw
a
lot
of
rallies
and
we
saw
a
lot
of
interested
engagement
around
music
and
recording
music
and
studio,
so
we
anticipate
we'll
get
some
similar
applications,
but
we're
also
looking
for
outside
of
the
box.
M
The
next
update
we
have
here
is
really
focused
on
our
next
step,
work,
which
is
our
partnership,
both
health
care,
north
memorial
and
abbott
northwestern,
where
we're
paying
hospital-based
interventions
for
mostly
gunshot
victims,
but
also
stabbings
and
other
violent
assaults.
Our
hospital-based
staff
have
really
been
experiencing
an
influx
in
the
number
of
people
coming
into
the
hospital.
They've
also
been
reporting
an
influx
on
the
number
of
people
who
are
later
coming
back
to
enroll
in
services,
which
we
think
is
really
indicative
of
the
on
the
ground,
work
that
they're
doing
in
communities.
M
So,
in
addition
to
funding
from
us,
hennepin
county
has
committed
some
additional
funding
through
their
aarp
resources,
they're
also
funded
by
the
minnesota
office
of
justice
programs
and
in-kind
support
from
our
hospital
partners
and
all
three
of
the
hospitals.
So
what
we're
seeing
with
the
next
step
work
is
a
growing
sort
of
in-depth
partnership
embedded
inside
of
the
hospitals,
where
they're
putting
more
skin
in
the
game
as
far
as
funding
and
staff,
development
and
ingraining.
M
Violence
prevention,
programs,
even
a
small
population
that
we're
able
to
serve
so
if
you
look
at
the
service
dates
starting
in
july
of
2016,
we've
served
529
people
of
that
we've
reduced
the
return
rate
of
those
people
of
that
down
to
10.
So,
while
we
think
about
the
population
size,
529
people
may
not
sound
like
a
ton
of
people,
but
that's
529
lives
that
we
know
have
been
dramatically
changed
and
that
we've
reduced
the
likelihood
for
them
to
be
involved
in
another
incident
where
their
life
is
put
in
jeopardy
because
of
violence.
M
So
we
are
incredibly
grateful
for
the
staff
at
that
program
and
continue
to
look
at
ways
to
grow
both
our
partnerships
in
the
hospital
and
expand
our
ability
to
serve
even
more
people
through
this
program,
because
we're
really
seeing
the
results
and
how
it
is
changing
the
lives
and
making
people
safer
next
slide.
Please.
M
So
I
did
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
where
and
how
we're
spending
our
arp
resources
that
have
been
approved
in
the
first
round.
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
the
fact
that
minneapolis
and
st
paul
are
community
violence,
intervention
sites
for
the
biden
administration,
there's
a
new
overall
body
of
work
coming
out
of
the
federal
government.
That's
really
focused
on
looking
at
how
arp
dollars
can
be
invested
in
evidence-based
violence
prevention
strategies,
and
so
we've
really
been
thinking
about
how
we
can
lean
into
our
evidence-based
work
and
invest
in
our
arp
resources.
M
We
are
super
excited
about
having
this
level
of
support
at
the
federal
government
level,
previously
under
the
obama
biden
administration
prior
to
having
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
Our
youth
violence
prevention
team
was
a
part
of
the
national
forum
on
youth,
violence
prevention
and
we
reap
great
benefit
from
the
deep
relationships
with
other
cities.
M
We
do
know
that
there
are
three
ta
providers
on
that
community
violence,
intervention
body
of
work
right
now
out
of
the
federal
government
and
two
of
the
three
are
of
them
are
agencies
that
we
already
have
relationships
with
being
cities
united
and
we're
a
founding
member
of
the
national
office
of
violence
prevention.
And
so
we
feel
really
good
about
the
relationships
we've
been
able
to
build
prior
to
the
community
violence
intervention
model
being
lifted
up
at
the
federal
level
and
are
looking
forward
to
developing
even
deeper
relationships
through
this
body
of
work.
M
So
just
kind
of
running
running
through
the
first
round
of
allocations
that
we
received
the
adolescent-specific
group.
Violence
intervention
is
really
what
we've
been
calling.
Gbi
junior
we've
been
working
on
building
out
this
model
since
the
end
of
last
year,
working
with
our
partners
in
minneapolis,
public
schools,
parks
and
rec,
and
we've
actually
started
taking
clients.
But
we've
been
using
general
fund
money
from
our
gbi
larger
pot
of
money.
M
We
didn't
have
a
carve
out
for
a
juvenile
specific
intervention,
so
we're
excited
about
the
investment
and
really
feel
that
we'll
be
able
to
develop
a
more
robust
set
of
services.
We've
already
identified
some
potential
providers
and
we'll
be
doing
some
more
exploratory
work
on
that,
but
are
hoping
to
have
a
firm
grasp
for
referral
as
well
as
identified
locations
for
service
in
north
and
south
minneapolis
by
the
start
of
the
school
year
in
september.
M
The
community
trauma
response
fund
is
really
designed
to
provide
some
immediate
services
to
communities
that
are
deeply
impacted
by
trauma,
particularly
trauma
caused
by
exposure
to
violence.
So
what
we're
thinking
about
are
support
services
around
supporting
people's
payment
for
mental
health
and
referrals
to
mental
health
services
engagement
at
scenes
also
thinking
about
how
we
can
provide
long-term
trauma
services
to
individuals
who
have
witnessed
serious
violence.
Things
like
relocation.
M
Historically,
those
kinds
of
services
are
available
at
the
state
and
county
level,
but
sometimes
people
don't
meet
the
criteria
because
they're
seen
as
being
you
know,
compromised
by
being
both
a
victim
and
a
perpetrator
or
previously
a
perpetrator,
and
we
know
that
the
cycle
of
violence
is
that
people
will
be
both
victims
and
perpetrators.
And
if
we
want
to
interrupt
that
cycle,
we
have
to
get
out
in
front
of
it
and
provide
resources.
M
So
that's
what
that
pool
of
money
will
really
be
dedicated
to
early
intervention
for
young
people
is
a
deeper
investment
in
our
inspiring
youth
program,
which
is
a
referral
service
for
mentorship
and
case
management
for
young
people
who
are
demonstrating
some
challenges
with
delinquency,
but
haven't
been
adjudicated
delinquent.
So
we
really
want
to
encourage
those
young
people
who
are
showing
those
first
signs
of
risk
to
get
support
and
services
before
they
get
to
the
point
where
they're
being
adjudicated
tried
and
happened
to
be
in
court.
M
So
those
services
will
expand
and
allow
us
to
serve
more
people
and
hire
more
staff
for
that
program.
Our
a
deeper
investment
in
the
minneapolis
strategic
outreach
initiative
will
allow
us
to
stabilize
the
number
of
staff
on
each
team.
Traditionally,
we
want
to
see
12
to
15
staff
members
on
each
of
our
teams.
M
Our
stabilization
services
are
really
focused
on
meeting
those
basic
needs
of
our
clients
through
our
group,
violence
and
intervention,
our
next
step
program
and
our
minneapolis
strategic
outreach.
We
know
that
one
of
the
number
one
needs
is
housing,
but
that
people
also
have
deep
needs
related
to
employment
and
training
and
general
stabilization
like
access
to
food
security,
and
so
these
funds
will
go
directly
to
our
service
providers
to
be
able
to
have
additional
resources,
especially
right
now.
M
While
things
are
very
challenging,
we
know
that
there
are
issues
around
housing
in
particular,
as
we
think
about
the
moratoriums
that
are
ending
on
evictions.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
don't
find
themselves
in
a
precarious
situation
that
would
lead
our
clients
back
to
a
life
that
re-engages
them
with
violence
and
then,
lastly,
the
youth
and
community
safety
fund
will
allow
us
to
do
deeper
investment
in
our
office
of
violence
prevention
fund.
M
M
We
rely
heavily
on
evidence-based
practice
because
of
what
the
research
says
works,
but
we
also
know
that
minneapolis
residents
have,
you
know,
really
outstanding
ideas
about
how
to
serve
minneapolis,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
funding
that
brilliance
supporting
it
with
capacity
building
and
evaluation
so
that
they
can
continue
to
grow
out
minneapolis
specific
strategies
to
address
violence.
So
that's
where
that
last
750
000
will
go
to
grant
making
for
a
wide
range
of
violence
prevention
services
throughout
minneapolis
next
slide.
Please!
M
So
I
did
want
to
come
back
to
our
minneapolis
strategic
outreach
initiative,
also
known
as
our
interrupter
work.
The
purpose
again
of
this
body
of
work
is
to
coordinate
a
public
health
driven
strategy
that
treats
violence
as
a
contagion
and
works
to
prevent
and
reduce
community
violence
by
stopping
its
spread.
M
I
want
to
be
a
little
bit
more
specific
and
talking
about
the
purpose
because,
as
we've
been
working
with
our
technical
assistance
provider
at
cure
violence,
this
work
is
also
very
nuanced
and
focused
on
gun
and
gang
violence,
and
I
think
it's
really
important
to
highlight
that.
I
know,
as
we
think,
about
outreach
work
and
we
engage
with
our
teams
that
are
now
all
active,
there's
a
lot
of
need
in
our
city,
and
we
recognize
that
outreach
workers
can
do
a
great
job
at
interrupting
patterns
of
all
sorts
of
violence.
M
But
the
specific
training
that
our
interrupters
have
received
is
a
lot
of
focus
on
gun
and
gang
violence,
and
that's
what
he's
really
important
to
highlight
that
they
won't
necessarily
be
most
effective
at
interrupting
other
forms
of
violence,
because
we
do
want
them
to
really
focus
on
those
patterns
of
gun
and
gang
violence.
I
mean
if
they
are
seeing
other
forms
of
violence
are
going
to
intervene,
but
that
is
their
focus.
M
Their
work
does
also
rely
on
the
influence
and
relationship
that
they
have
as
credible
community
members,
specifically
in
the
minneapolis
regions
that
they're
serving
in
before
they
work
closely
with
pure
violence
global
as
a
technical
systems,
provider
they've
been
on
site
twice
this
summer,
already
providing
technical
assistance
to
both
our
leadership
teams
and
then
all
of
our
violence.
Interrupters
are
now
certified
violence
interrupters
through
pure
violence
global,
and
we
anticipate
that
they
will
be
back
later
this
summer
to
do
some
fine
tuning
on
training
next
slide.
Please.
M
So,
following
our
request
for
proposal,
we
just
wanted
to
go
over
the
current
teams
that
we
have
working.
We
have
the
corcoran
neighborhood
association
and
touch
outreach.
They
actually
have
two
teams,
one
serving
south
minneapolis
and
one
serving
downtown.
We
have
urban
youth
conservation
that
is
serving
north
minneapolis
and
primarily
that
area
south
of
broadway.
M
We
have
metro,
youth
diversion
which
is
serving
cedar
riverside.
We
have
restoration
incorporated
that
is
serving
north
minneapolis
as
a
roving
team.
This
team,
in
particular,
has
a
lot
of
experience
working
in
our
hospital-based
program
and
around
mental
health
and
trauma
so
they're
also
doing
some
roving
work
in
high
trauma
situations
and
also
doing
some
support
work
downtown.
Just
because
there's
been
some
additional
need.
We
push
for
peace
in
north
minneapolis
is
focused
largely
on
the
broadway
corridor.
M
To
do
some
additional
work
in
that
region,
specifically
with
some
focus
on
young
people.
All
teams
are
now
actively
working
in
community
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
they
have
already
gone
through
80
hours
of
training
and
our
team
from
care.
Violence
global
will
be
back
in
late
summer
or
early
fall
to
do
some
additional
training
and
some
tune-ups
to
ensure
that
we're
complying
with
their
evidence-based
strategies
so
that
we
can
lean
on
the
results
that
they've
seen
in
other
cities
that
have
had
good
outcomes
related
to
reducing
violence.
M
And
that
concludes
our
update.
As
I
mentioned
before,
we
are
excited
about
the
partnership.
We
have
with
touch
outreach
and
corcoran
neighborhood
association
who
are
hosting
a
violence-free
activity
this
evening.
Please
feel
free
to
come
out
and
join
us
at
pv
park
until
8
pm,
and
I
am
happy
to
stand
for
any
questions
from
any
of
the
council
members.
Thank
you
for
having.
B
B
I'm
not
seeing
any
well
I'll
just
say
thank
you
for
the
update
related
to
the
arp
funding.
That
is
a
good
chunk
of
money
being
invested
in
really
important
work,
and
we
threw
a
lot
on
ovp's
plate
by
asking
to
take
this
extra
money
and
and
do
the
important
work
with
it.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
update
and
also
excited
to
hear
about
cure
violence
and
to
see
that
work
really
rolling
out.
B
We
brought
that
work
forward
last
year
when
we
were
facing
a
crisis
and
we
had
to
because
we
had
to
do
something
different
right.
We
knew
what
we
were
doing
wasn't
working,
and
so
we
said,
let's
try
something
different:
let's
try
an
evidence-based
public
health
approach
in
this
particular
way.
We
don't
have
this
kind
of
outreach
strategy
in
our
city.
Let's
give
this
a
try.
M
You
chair,
I
do
just
want
to
add,
I
apologize
I'm
getting
over
some
illness
and
so
I'm
still
a
little
bit
hoarse,
but
I
did
want
to
say
you
know
both.
Thank
you
for
that.
Also
thinking
about
the
arp
fund,
you
know
we
are
still
working
with
finance
and
procurement,
so
the
bureaucracy
continues
to
be
at
play,
which
is
an
important
part
of
government
doing
its
job.
But
you
know
we
are
figuring
out
the
land
landscape,
of
how
arp
resources
will
be
able
to
be
spent.
B
B
M
B
B
You
know
david
kennedy
came
to
present
to
our
committee,
he's
an
expert
around
violence,
prevention
and
understanding
the
criminological
aspects
of
of
violence
and
and
doing
this
kind
of
public
safety
work,
and
he
talks
about
how
less
than
half
of
a
percent
of
a
city's
total
population
is
account
is,
is
responsible
for
a
majority
so
usually
over
about
60
percent
of
a
city's
violence
in
minneapolis
that
shakes
out
to
about
2100
people
like
that's
progress.
530
people
is
in
one
program
that
are
connected
essentially
to
like
services
for
life.
B
B
It's
just
hard
to
quantify
that
and
capture
that,
because
we
know
at
the
individual
level
that
it
makes
a
really
big
difference
and
those
individuals
add
up,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
and
also
just
reiterate
that
5
30
is
nothing
to
say.
Oh
that's!
Nothing
like
that
is
when
we
have
2
100
people
who
are
responsible
for
over
60
of
the
violence
in
our
city.
That
is
big
progress.
So
thank
you,
director
appreciate
you
and
your
team
very
much,
and
so
thank
you
to
everybody
for
this
presentation.
B
B
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I
wonder
if
maybe
the
the
it
or
the
clerk
could
help
post
the
resolution
if
anybody
has
it
available,
but
this
is
a
request
for
action
related
to
the
waiving
and
attorney
client
privilege
on
a
legal
memorandum
that
they
provided
to
us.
You
may
recall
that,
back
in
april
we
had
a
presentation
about
the
use
of
less
lethal
weapons.
A
We
passed
a
resolution
expressing
concern
about
those
and
it
included
a
staff
direction
for
the
city
attorneys
to
weigh
in
by
may
14th
about
whether
or
not
an
ordinance
passed
by
the
council
to
prohibit
or
somehow
regulate
the
less
lethal
weapons
would
have
any
impact
or
make
sense
under
the
existing
charter.
Well,
the
city
attorney
got
us
the
memorandum
back,
I
saw
it.
A
I
know
that
all
the
council
members
did
and
then
I
was
curious
about
what
about
making
this
public
information,
and
so
I
asked
the
city
attorney's
office
if
they
had
an
issue
with
that
and
they
didn't
and
they
said
the
way
to
do
that
is
to
bring
it
forward
through
the
council
so
that
the
council
could
vote
to
waive
the
attorney
client
privilege
and
make
the
memorandum
public.
So
that's
what
I
would
like
to
move
today.
The
resolution
before
you
that
would
have
that
impact.
B
N
N
However,
I
would
just
remind
you
that
waiver
is
accomplished
by
a
vote
of
the
full
council,
and
so,
if
this
committee
acts
today
to
pass
this
on
to
the
full
council,
the
council
will
still
need
to
vote
on
that
at
the
next
meeting.
In
order
to
wave
the
privilege,
we
should
not
have
any
substantive
discussion
of
the
memorandum
until
that
has
been
accomplished.
B
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
thank
you,
andrea,
for
that
so
make
sure
we
don't
get
into
the
actual
memo.
Quite
yet
so
thank
you,
councilmember
gordon,
for
bringing
this
forward,
and
so
he
councilmember
gordon,
has
made
a
motion
to
approve
the
resolution
that
is
before
us
waving
attorney-client
privilege
on
the
legal
memorandum,
titled
charter
authority
of
mayor
and
city
council
regarding
police
department,
less
lethal
munitions
resolution
by
council
with
that,
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues
on
this
motion.
A
E
B
B
That
motion
passes
and
that
item
carries
and
will
be
sent
with
the
rest
of
the
items
on
the
consent
agenda
to
the
full
city
council
meeting
next
friday.
So
with
that,
thank
you.
Everyone
for
joining
us
for
today's
meeting.
Lots
of
amazing
work
per
usual.
This
is
a
very
substantive
committee
with
a
lot
of
really
important
work
related
to
a
few
of
the
crises
that
we've
been
dealing
with
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
So
thank
you
to
the
amazing
city
staff
who
make
this
work
happen.
