170609
Resolution authorizing the creation of a "Special Committee on Gun Violence Prevention" to address Philadelphia's enduring plague of gun violence by facilitating coordination among stakeholders and formulating a comprehensive gun violence prevention strategy.
A
A
I
understand
the
state
law
commonly
requires
it.
The
following
announcement
will
be
made
at
the
beginning
of
every
remote
public
hearing
as
follows.
Due
to
the
current
Public
Health
Emergency
city
council
committees
are
currently
meeting
remotely.
We
are
using
Microsoft
teams
to
make
these
remote
areas
as
possible
instructions
for
how
the
public
needs
viewing
awful
public
testimony
at
the
public
hearing
of
council
committees
are
included
and
the
public
hearing
notices
that
are
published
in
The
Daily
News
inquire,
illegal
intelligence.
Sir
project
Harrison
can
also
be
found
on
phlcouncil.com
with
a
clerk.
A
A
A
Before
we
begin
to
hear
testimony
from
the
witnesses
we
have
to
for
today,
everyone
who
has
been
invited
to
the
meeting
to
testify
should
be
aware
that
this
public
hearing
is
being
recorded
because
they're
hearing
this
public
participants
and
viewers
have
no
reasonable
expectation
of
privacy.
By
continuing
to
be
in
the
meeting,
you
are
consenting
to
being
recorded.
Additionally,
try
to
recognize
the
members
for
the
questions
or
comments
they
have
for
Witnesses.
A
A
I'm
at
this
particular
time.
First
and
foremost,
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
who
thought
it
not
Robert
to
take
time
out
of
your
schedule
for
participating,
which
I
believe
is
the
number
one
issue
that
we
are
addressing
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
and
that
issue
is
gun
bombs
and
Public
Safety.
A
So
I
just
want
to
again
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
for
being
here,
as
well
as
all
the
parents
who
will
be
participating
in
this
hearing
on
this
hearing
is
specifically
focused
on
getting
an
update
on
the
progress
of
the
road
map
for
a
safer
Philadelphia,
and
so
that's
going
to
be
the
focus
for
this
particular
hearing.
But,
as
I
have
done
every
end
of
this
last
several
years
we
wrap
up
the
year.
A
Looking
at
the
progress
we
have
been
making
around
this
issue
with
gun
violence
and
what
our
plans
are
looking
into
a
new
year,
which
is
2024.
I'm,
the
one
that
believed
that,
no
matter
how
many
homicides
that
we
see
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
there
are
people
behind
those
actual
numbers,
and
so
it's
critically
important
that
we
wrap
up
the
year
focusing
on
how
we
can
go
into
the
new
year
doing
a
better
job
working
collaboratively
together
around
this
issue
of
Senseless
gun
violence.
A
F
E
When
we
use
the
term
credible
messenger,
we
are
referring
to
individuals
who
share
lived
experiences
with
philadelphians
experiencing
gun
violence
in
some
of
our
most
hard-hit
neighborhoods.
Many
of
these
credible
Messengers
have
their
own
powerful
stories
of
how
they
successfully
achieved
positive
outcomes
for
themselves.
Despite
the
harm
or
hurt,
they
may
have
caused
or
experienced
at
one
point
in
their
lives
as
Outreach
workers
for
ccip
our
credible
Messengers
on
the
front
line
of
our
gun,
violence
efforts
and
they
connect
the
city
to
community
to
communities
experiencing
High
rates
of
gun
violence.
E
Ccip
workers
are
trained
in
Conflict
mediation,
intervention
and
intervention
in
order
to
mediate
and
reduce
tensions
between
groups
that
are
that
often
lead
to
shootings,
credible
Messengers
also
act
as
trusted
Liaisons
between
community
and
City
staff.
By
connecting
residents
most
at
risk
of
experiencing
or
participating
in
gun,
violence
to
relevant
resources
and
services.
E
Ccip
operates
seven
days
a
week,
Monday
through
Friday.
We
are
out
in
the
community
from
12
to
8,
P.M,
Thursdays
and
Fridays,
from
6
pm
to
4
a.m
and
on
weekends,
from
5
PM
to
1am.
Many
of
these
services
and
supports
provided
by
ccip
are
are
offered
at
unconventional
hours
to
best
meet
the
needs
of
our
community
members.
E
Funding

that
are

E
Gva
gvi

implemented
our
city
in
our
city
has
a
very
robust
Social
Service
component
that
engages
participants
as
well
as
connects
them
with
requested
services.
Gdi
in
Philadelphia
is
incredibly
successful
when
compared
to
other
jurisdictions
across
the
country,
who
also
meant
implement
this
strategy.
To
date,
27
of
gvi
candidates
requested
social
service
support
the
highest
among
other
gvi.
E
Each
weekend,
gbi
teams
known
as
mobile,
calling
teams
consisting
of
the
same
Messengers
who
might
participate
in
a
call-in

on

analysis
of
group
involved.
Shootings.
Currently
gvi
is
in
all
police
divisions
of
the
city
and
in
12
police
districts.
E
Gvi
teams
directly
engage
group,
members
and
or
families
in
communities
in
which
they
live.
In
addition,
gbi
deploys
Social
Service
only
teams
during
the
week
to
conduct
follow-ups
with
individual
seeking
Services
those
engagement
services
and
even
those
who
did
not
request
services
but
are
open
to
additional
visits
and
check-ins.
E
When
covid
restrictions
begin
to
lift
the
city
held
a
held
in-person
call-ins
to
supplement
the
work
of
the
mobile
colon
teams.
To
date,
there
have
been
four
successful:
gvi
call-ins,
with
representation
from
the
U.S
attorney,
the
attorney
general's
office,
the
District
Attorney's
Office,
the
police,
commissioner,
the
mayor
and
many
amazing
volunteers,
most
of
which
not
all
have
lost
someone,
a
loss
of
child
to
gun
violence
and
other
community
members
who
have
lived
experience
similar
to
The
gvi
participants.
E
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
here
to
highlight
the
dedication
and
the
work
of
the
amazing
parents
who
lost
children
to
gun
violence
in
our
city
as
they
participate
in
our
gvi
programming.
These
individuals
go
out
of
out
with
our
teams
every
weekend
and
are
at
every
call
in
or
every
event
in
which
we
need
their
participation.
E
In
addition,
our
team
does
trained
126
individuals
to
participate
in
Mobile,
Collins
team
engagement
and
undertaking
18
enforcement
actions
as
a
part
of
the
strategy
in
early
2023.
We
expect
to
receive
the
findings
from
our
program
evaluation
with
the
University
of
Pennsylvania
Department
of
criminology.
We
are
also
we.
We
also
will
announce
the
onboarding
of
several
new
staff
as
as
well
as
the
addition
of
significant
behavioral
health
component
connected
to
our
transitional
work,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we
cannot
achieve
boosted
community
health
and
safety
without
investing
in
our
community
organizations.
E
We
have
long
been
on
the
front
lines
of
Philadelphia's
gun
violence
epidemic.
To
accomplish
this,
the
city
invest
in
two
Grant
programs:
our
targeted
Community
investment
Grant
and
the
community
expansion
Grant,
the
targeted
Community
investment
grant
program,
funds,
community-based
violence,
violence
prevention
programs
and
activities
that
improve
Public,
Safety,
increase
opportunities
for
self-development
and
care
and
build
a
stronger
sense
of
community
throughout
neighborhoods,
most
impacted
by
gun
violence.
Our
targeted
Community
investment
grants
have
trauma-informed
approaches
to
gun,
violence,
build
resiliency
in
their
communities,
build,
mediate,
conflicts
and
promote
social
and
economic
empowerment.
E
The
city
provides
grants
ranging
from
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
a
million
dollars
to
community-based
organizations
that
have
budget
annual
operating
budgets
below
50
million
dollars
and
a
proven
track
record
working
in
neighborhoods
vulnerable
to
gun
violence
by
investing
in
community
organizations
already
combating
gun
violence.
The
city
aims
to
avoid
disruption
of
efforts
and
provide
place-based
care
again.
E
I
want
to
thank
city
council
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
this
vital
work
of
of
all
the
programs
that
we
have
that
are
most
critical
Investments
we
make
in
Grassroots
organizations
philadelphians
are
not
often
made
aware
of
the
grueling
and
sometimes
heart-wrenching
work
of
all
those
on
the
front
line.
I
hope
we
are
able
to
convey
convey
to
you
how
much
of
this,
how
much
goes
into
these
efforts
and
why
we
need
your
continual
support
in
these
programs
in
the
future.
Thank
you
and
members
of
my
team
and
myself
are
available.
A
E
Sure
Eddie's
house
is
specifically
focused
in
West
Philadelphia,
that
is
where
they
have
a
physical
location
and
have
the
relationships
where
we
should.
We
want
to
strengthen
work
from
the
across
from
the
12th
18th
19th
and
16th
police
districts
in
our
violence.
Interruption
efforts
a
day
is
specifically
focused
on
juveniles.
A
A
Up
to
70.
all
right
I
just
wanted
to
push
because
I
know
the
overall
budget
is
6
million
for
a
crisis
intervention
teams
correct!
Yes,
do
you?
How
much
is
this
out
of
that?
Six
million?
Do
you
have
an
idea
of
roughly
ballpark
2
million
four
million
and
and
I'm
I'm
pushing
to
see
if
we
can
are
there
plans
in
the
future
to
ramp
up
even
further.
E
A
What's
it's
kind
of
related
to
my
another
question,
I'm
gonna
ask:
have
we
explored
partnering
with
the
school
district
right
at
one
time,
Penn
used
to
go
up
in
the
schools
and
the
reason
why
I
say
it?
We
have
had
a
significant
amount
of
shootings
outside
of
our
Public
Schools,
as
well
as
our
public
charter,
schools
and
I
know.
A
G
Council
chair,
we
do
have
a
day
team
Monday
through
Thursday
that
come
on
through
the
day,
actually
from
12
to
8..
They
do
cover
schools,
how
many
people
per
District
a
one
to
two
team
per
District.
So
we're
talking
about
six
to
nine
people.
It
varies
per
District
according
to
the
size
of
the
district.
G
So
it
really
depends.
We
can
shift
members
accordingly
and
when
incidents
do
happen,
you
know,
of
course
you
know
the
neighboring
areas
that
have
teams.
We
can
also
shift
over
and
answer
your
one
question
too,
about
the
school
district.
We
are
in
conjunction
with
the
school
district
and
sending
crisis
workers
as
needed
to
different
schools.
We
work
closely
with
Bethel,
you
know
I've
known
him
for
years,
and
and
you
know
we
have
a
good
relationship.
A
Good
good,
so
because
it's
under
your
purview
and
I
know
I
asked
Erica
what
are
some
of
your
key
accomplishments
that
you
believe
and
I
was
with
you
from
day
one
since
this
whole
process
started.
What
do
you
think
a
councilman?
These
areas
were
making
progress
in
these
areas.
I
think
we
could
need
additional,
supporting
and
I'm
coming
as
an
ally
in
terms
of
how
I
can
be
supportive
of
the
process,
not
someone.
You
know
trying
to
be
critical
of
the
process,
but
obviously
it's
all
about
responsibility.
A
G
My
perspective,
I
think
working
better
with
community-based
organizations.
I
think
we
have
a
good
relationship
but
corresponding
you
know
when
there's
incidents,
but
even
though,
when
it's
not
incidents,
you
know
I
think
we
can
always
do
a
better
job
of
working,
not
stepping
over
or
onto
each
other.
G
You
don't
want
three
and
four
organizations
going
to
a
house
after
an
incident,
so
I
think
we
can
always
do
that.
Better
I
think
that
some
of
the
work
we've
been
doing
with
Dr
Baya.
Looking
at
the
current
The
Cure
violence.
Efforts
within
the
city
is
really
helping
to
kind
of
bring
these
organizations
together
to
have
one
cohesive
plan.
So
I
think
you
know
in
doing
that,
I
think
we'll
see
a
better
response
to
the
community.
We
can
always
improve.
G
G
But
you
know
Philadelphia
is
a
big
area.
You
know,
and
just
because
we're
ramping
up
to
70
workers,
if
you
look
at
it,
that's
not
a
lot
of
it's,
not
a
lot
of
Manpower
in
the
streets,
so
I
think
incorporating
more
organizations.
Eddie's
house
not
day
is
great
because
you
know
especially
I
did
start
to
specialize.
G
We
will
be
bleeding
in
the
South
Philly
as
well
trust
me,
but
in
looking
at
ramping
up
Manpower
I,
we
can't
do
it
all
at
once,
but
we
can
incorporate
other
organizations,
I,
think
the
strength
and
the
model.
You
know,
I
think
that's
important,
that
we
have
a
Philadelphia
model
and
it
doesn't
have
to
just
be
ccip
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
how
it
incorporates
other
community-based
organizations
and
what
they
do
and
to
what
we
can
have
as
a
cohesive
plan.
E
That
really
brings
together
all
of
our
interrupter
programs
and
there's
also
a
table
that
she
has
set,
that
she
will
testify
to
about
our
hospital-based
interventions
and
she
and
I
are
working
towards
getting
funding
to
building
the
bridge
between
the
two
and
one
of
the
things
I
will
that
I'll
Echo
and
what
Shondell
said
is
really
about
preparing
the
field.
There
are
a
lot
of
good
people
out
here
that
want
to
do
work
and
want
to
have
an
impact
in
community.
How.
H
E
E
Is
we
really
need
to
focus
on
what
it
truly
means
to
be
a
credible
messenger,
the
importance
of
that
work
as
a
reverse
responder
in
community,
and
how
are
we
supporting
individuals
in
their
training,
whether
they
work
for
us
or
not,
and
how
are
we
building
a
pathway
for
them
to
do
more
to
give
back
to
community?
Can
they
be
social
workers?
Can
they
be
caseworkers?
Can
they
be
therapists,
and
what
are
we
doing
for
that
pipeline?.
A
Awesome
and
I
think
that's
critical.
The
collaboration,
the
Coalition
building
across
all
different
sectors,
I
think
all
goes
toward
us
getting
getting
a
hold
on
on
this
particular
issue.
I
want
to
go
into
gvi
briefly,
Erica
I
know
some
time
ago.
We
allowed
it
two
million
dollars
to
hire
Staffing
yeah.
Give
me
an
idea
of
what
that
Staffing
looked
like
also
I
know:
gbi
is
in
South
Southwest
Philadelphia
I'm
in
Westerly
and
hasn't
expanded
Beyond.
Those
particular
areas,
you
know
obviously
I
would
love.
E
Store
I
will
briefly
talk
a
little
bit
and
then
I'll
hand
it
off
to
both
Diana
and
evangela,
who
are
working
on
a
day-to-day.
We
are
looking
to
expand.
We
consistently
have
open
opportunities
for
caseworkers
and
for
individuals
that
will
go
out
with
our
teams.
That
is
something
that
we
could
utilize
support
in
in
getting
the
word
out
that
we
are
doing
that
hiring
as
I
mentioned
in
my
testimony.
E
I
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
good
afternoon,
Council,
chair
and
in
regards
to
the
GUI
expansion.
Before
we
got
the
grant,
we
only
had
three
case
managers,
but
as
of
today,
we
are
almost
at
six
with
an
additional
parenting
specialist.
So
we
are
a
team
of
seven,
including
myself,
that
make
us
eight.
We
are
currently
looking
to
add
additional
case
managers,
but
the
grant
has
definitely
helped
us
a
whole
lot
with
being
able
to
add
more
staff,
members
and
Council
chair.
I
We
have
not
left
South
Philly,
we
are
still
active
in
South
Philly.
We
sent
two
teams
last
weekend
within
the
third
and
17th
GDI
is
currently
within
within
15
police
districts.
We
are
within
the
Southwest
Division
South
Central
Northwest
September,
we
transitioned
to
the
Northeast
Division
and
we
are
also
in
the
East
slightly
on.
We
are
operating
within
the
26th
Police
District.
I
We
are
meeting
with
the
captains
from
the
24th
and
25th
on
the
bi-weekly
basis
to
explore
deployment
strategies
as
to
what
G
value
would
look
like
if
it
was
to
do
work
within
the
24th
and
the
25th.
But
outside
of
that
we
are
on,
we
are
in
every
district
and
we
send
a
team
out
every
weekend
and
we
do
a
rotating
schedule.
So
one
week
we're
in
South
the
next
week
we're
in
Southwest
we
go
out
every
weekend,
rain,
sleet
and
snow.
I
We
don't
stop
and
we
just
continue
to
do
our
due
diligence
and
as
Erica
mentioned
you
know,
come
to
start
a
year
you,
the
University
of
Penn,
will
close
out
with
its
evaluation.
So
we
are
really
excited
about
that.
To
kind
of
see,
you
know
what
the
results
of
our
work,
so
we
really
are
excited
about
it.
A
You
know
always
been
on
the
case.
I.
Remember.
Last
time
we
had
this
hearing.
We
talked
to
you
about
placement.
How
does
placement
look
now
from
then
to
now
I
know
you're
working
hard
trying
to
help
you
some
men
make
and
young
ladies
make
the
transition
from
the
streets
to
getting
their
lives
together.
How
has
gbi
impacted
on
that
particular
area?
And
what
does
it
look
like
now,
numbers
wise
you.
I
Know
absolutely
I
think,
as
Erica
mentioned
within
her
testimony.
You
know
our
numbers
within
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
compared
to
other
gbi's
jurisdictions,
are
the
highest
in
regards
to
Social
Service
requesting
connections.
Our
partnership
with
the
center
for
employment
has
been
pretty
unique
and
awesome.
We
have
a
GDI
work
crew
by
you
know,
thank
you
to
Erica
for
saying
that
work
crew
up
for
us
at
Mount
Moriah.
I
We
have
had
it
we're
cool
over
there
consistently
full
staff
for
the
past
four
months,
and
our
retention
rates
continue
to
increase
with
the
help
of
having
a
peer
specialist
just
having
someone
with
them
to
be
able
to
hold
their
hands.
So
it
has
been
a
pretty
a
powerful
component
of
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
I.
Think.
I
Obviously,
gbi
is
not
a
social
services
model,
but
I
think
we
are
really
have
done
in
our
eyes
and
our
T's
with
that
and
has
really
just
been
a
very
unique
process
and
I
have
worked
closely
with
your
office
as
well
to
be
able
to
kind
of
have
more
employers
we
just
recently.
You
know,
by
way
of
your
office
being
been
able
to
connect
two
of
our
guys
to
the
Naval
Yard.
I
So
that's
something
we
are
really
excited
about
and
we're
hoping
to
really
kind
of
expand
outside
of
the
center
for
employment
to
be
able
to
kind
of
give
our
guys.
You
know
more
of
a
livable
wage
but
I
think
the
social
serious
component
to
answer
your
question
has
been
something
that
we're
really
proud
of
and
has
really
been
kind
of,
a
well-oiled
machine.
I
D
D
A
And
for
me,
that's
the
critical
part
it
has
to
be
to
carrying
the
stick,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
those
who
do
not
want
to
take
advantage
of
the
opportunities
that
we
are
providing
them.
They
have
to
understand
that
there's
consequences
for
their
actions
and
a
lot
of
times.
You
know
the
same
way.
We
do
it
with
children.
If
you
don't
recognize
your
consequences
for
your
actions,
then
you'll
continue
to
shoot
murder,
Rob
still
and
wreak
havoc
on
the
city,
and
so
for
me.
A
I've
always
been
an
advocate
of
gbi
from
day
one,
because
the
accounting
stick
approach,
I
believe,
does
work,
and
you
have
to
recognize
that
you
know
everybody
doesn't
think
altruistically
as
we
do.
That's
on
this
car
that
one
neighborhood
does
see
if
they
want
a
city,
that's
safer,
that's
just
a
sad
reality
of
the
state
they
were
living
in,
and
so
when
they
don't.
A
One
of
these
take
advantage
of
the
resources
that
we
are
providing
to
help
them
get
their
lives
together,
and
they
have
to
be
some
level
of
consequences
and
enforcement
and,
most
importantly,
you
may
save
some
people's
lives.
So
one
last
part
and
then
I'm
gonna.
Let
my
colleagues
ask
some
questions
so
I'll
take
up
too
much
time
from
the
gbi
standpoint.
Do
we
also
work?
A
I
It
has
been
a
very
unique
one
as
well.
You
know
every
Wednesday,
we
have
our
gbi
meeting
where
we
meet
with
all
of
our
partners,
so
we
work
closely
with
juvenile
probation,
who
have
kind
of
a
pulse
of
what
goes
on
within
the
Juvenile
Justice
Center.
So,
for
example,
if
we
have
one
of
our
juveniles
who
become
incarcerated,
you
know
due
to
enforcement
action.
You
know
one
of
the
biggest
things
for
us.
Is
we
really
kind
of
get
together
to
strategize
the
plan
for
when
they
are
released?
Now?
I
What
are
the
steps
that
are
really
available?
We
have
a
caseworker
on
our
team,
Mr
Randy
Mayo,
who
just
does
such
an
incredible
job.
He
goes
into
the
Juvenile
Justice
Center
and
he
works
with
these
individuals
as
well
and
the
moment
they
come
out
we're
at
their
doorstep,
probably
two
or
three
two
to
three
days
later,
so
we
provide
immediate
resources
and
we
also
let
those
individuals
know
and
I've
seen
a
partnership
with
our.
I
You
know,
in
partnership
with
CEO
that
there's
an
individual
who
are
who
is
in
custody
the
moment
they
come
home.
We
have
a
job
waiting
for
them.
As
well
so
for
us,
you
know
we
provide
them
with
that
support.
While
they
are
in
custody
and
the
moment
they
come
home,
we
got
something
lined
up
for
them.
E
And
council
member
what
I
will
say
to
add
to
that
eat?
Above
and
beyond
just
our
gvi
program,
we
have
a
really
strong
relationship
with
dhs's
juvenile
Union
Deputy
Commissioner
will
Gary
Williams
and
I
meet
on
a
fairly
regular
basis
to
discuss
ways
that
we
can
collaborate
to
ensure
that
we
are
diverting
our
young
people
away
from
violence
into
them.
Having
a
true
opportunity.
A
Awesome
and
I
just
want
to
get
in
that
just
a
brief
update
Erica
on
the
grant
funding
that
you
mentioned
I,
think
a
lot
of
groups
have
took
advantage
of
it
from
the
violence,
prevention,
standpoint
and
I
just
want
to
get
an
idea
of
where
we're
at.
In
that
process.
You
talked
about
how
much
we
spent.
A
D
A
Have
we
fixed
the
fiscal
agency
that
will
be
available
to
make
sure
that
organizations
get
their
fundings
in
a
timely
fashion,
because
we
do
a
lot
of
work
with
our
end,
so
we
want
the
folks
to
be
partnering
with
to
also
do
right
by
the
groups.
That's
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
be
doing
so
just
give
us
an
idea
on
that
aspect.
E
E
There
are
some
that
we
know
are
doing
some
amazing
work
and
we
need
to
continue
that
work.
We
are
also
looking
at
developing
an
opportunity
to
bring
in
some
new
Opera
some
new
grantees
and
new
opportunities
to
engage
in
the
program,
so
there
will
be
a
mix
of
both
and
then
to
speaking
to
the
the
fiduciary
and
the
fiscal
flow
we
will
say
we
have
had
come
some
conversations.
E
We
have
gotten
to
a
a
mutual
agreement
and
how
things
should
be
funded.
This
is
not
a
reimbursement
Grant.
This
is
a
traditional
Grant,
and
so
we
are
functioning
as
such.
There
are
benchmarks
in
which
we
are
asking
our
grantees
to
have
in
order
for
them
to
get
their
payments.
We
are
now
all
on
the
same
page,
including
the
grantees
understanding
what
we
have
done
and
how
we
have
Set
the
precedent
for
this,
and
so
moving
forward.
A
All
right,
I
just
want
to
I'm,
commend
you
on
your
team,
particularly
around
this
particular
grant
program.
I
remember
several
years
ago,
when
I
was
in
Council,
where
neighborhood-based
groups
weren't
getting
any
fun
and
then
they
went
from
maybe
I
think
maybe
20
000
was
the
max.
Until
now
we
have
a
historical
investment
in
community-based
organizations,
because
we
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
addressing
gumballs
is
a
long-term
game
plan.
J
E
It's
good
to
meet
you
I
will
say
that
both
of
the
programs
that
we
mentioned
both
are
Community
Crisis,
Intervention
Program
and
our
group
office
intervention
do
operate
in
in
the
North
Philadelphia
area.
While
we
highlighted
the
expansion
into
west
and
southwest,
there
has
been
historical
presence
in
in
the
North
Philadelphia
area
and
we
can
follow
up
with
some
specificity
to
your
office.
Just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
and
and
I
will
also
offer.
E
Perhaps
we
do
a
briefing
in
in
the
top
of
the
New
Year
for
you
and
other
new
council
members
to
give
you
an
understanding
of
what
is
happening
in
your
neighborhoods,
how
we
are
making
financial
and
and
human
capital
investments
in
those
neighborhoods
to
give
you
a
sense
of
that?
But
we
are
there
we'll
get
some
specificity
to.
J
E
We
have
an
office
of
Rancho
Partnerships
that
their
primary
focus
is
supporting
individuals
who
either
coming
out
of
incarceration,
not
just
with
PDP
but
with
state
and
federal,
as
well
as
those
who
have
not
been
incarcerated
but
are
on
supervision.
We
support
them
with
Social
Service
supports
educational,
supports
job
training,
so
like
forklift
training,
CDL
training
basic
needs
like
getting
an
ID
and
Vital
Records.
So
we
have
all
that
and
again
I'm
happy
to
do
a
briefing
with
you
just
really
quickly.
E
If
you
will
give
allow
me
this
for
your
information.
There
are
five
offices
that
are,
in
my
cluster
office
of
reentry
Partnerships
office
of
violence,
prevention,
time
watch,
Integrated,
Service,
Office
of
the
victim
Advocate
and
the
office
of
Criminal
Justice,
and
they
all
handle
supports
around
reducing
islands
and
reducing
disparities
in
the
criminal
justice
system.
Great.
A
Any
other
questions
from
members
of
council
Eric
I
want
to
go
into
I
know
briefly.
We
had
a
hearing
sponsored
by
councilman
David,
but
it
was
under
this
committee
with
councilman
Curtis
Jones.
Give
me
an
update
on
where
we're
at
on
and
I
did
get
a
response
from
the
administration
regarding
the
money
that
was
allocated
money
that
was
already
allocated
to
the
DA's
office
and
now
I
have
a
fuller
understanding
of
there's
two
types
of
witness
relocation.
Yes,.
A
J
A
A
discussion
regarding
the
additional
400
000
that
was
allocated
to
the
DA's
office
so
give
me
an
idea
of
how
that
money,
I
think
would
supposed
to
be
used
if
I'm
correct
is
housed
on
the
mdo
correct.
Yes,
it
is
housing.
Mdos.
Give
me
an
idea
of
how
that
400
is
going
to
be
utilized.
I
guess
I
also
asked
the
question:
how
come
it
is
how's
an
mdo
as
opposed
to
a
direct
disbursement
to
the
DA's
office.
A
So
they
can
continue
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
be
doing
in
terms
of
what
this
relocation
and
I
know
there's
a
totally
separate
area
with
this
relocation
for
a
non-involvement
which
I
would
understand
that
we
will
house
and
keep
that
500
and
do
as
we
see
fit
rabbits
with
OVO
rabbits
with
pan,
rather
even
thinking
about
partnering,
with
maybe
a
mayor,
but
give
me
an
idea
where
we're
going
in
the
future
and
then
two.
Why
is
the
400?
You
know
an
MBO
as
opposed
to?
E
A
E
So
there's
one
type
of
traditional
relocation
in
which
those
are
the
individuals
that
are
removed,
and
that
is
predominantly
handled
by
the
DA's
office
and
and
the
classification
of
that
relocation
is
that
you
are
actively
involved
in
a
case
that
you
you
either
witnessed
or
directly
involved
in.
So
that's
bucket
one
bucket
two
is:
you
are
adjacent
to
violence?
You
are.
E
E
One
part
two
in
which
we
have
the
four
hundred
thousand
coming
from
mdo
is
for
us
to
do
a
mix
of
both
with
partnership
with
them,
and
so
it
allows
flexibility
for
us
to
be
able
to
support
moveing
someone
who
may
not
fall
within
this
bucket
of
one
but
there's
a
partnership
here,
and
so
we
are
in
the
process
of
developing
what
that
bridge
looks
like.
But
we
also
have
this
Bucket
over
here.
That
allows
us
to
move
folks
who
are
in
eminent
danger,
but
not
directly
involved
in
a
case
not.
A
E
No,
no,
we
are
in.
We
are
actively
in
the
process
of
hiring
a
relocation
specialist
who
will
sit
in
the
office
of
victim
Advocate,
who
will
this
will
be
their
job,
and
so
they
will
be
predominantly
focused
on
how
we
can
make
sure
people
feel
sick,
that
their
homes
are
sanctuaries,
and
so
they
are
not
constantly
under
the
threat
feeling
that
they're
under
the
threat,
or
literally
under
the
threat
of
violence,
and
so
that's
that's-
that
is
part
parts
of
where
we
are
going
with
that
in
the
immediate.
E
We
are
also
looking
at
now
that
we've
expanded
our
our
providers,
partnering
with
Philadelphia,
anti-drug
and
violence,
Network
and
every
murder
is
real
around
supports
they
can
give,
and
so
we're
able
to
reimburse
them
or
fund
moves
for
individuals
that
they
are
supporting,
as
opposed
to
it
coming
out
of
the
the
contract
that
we
have
for
them.
So
this
will
be
something
that
that
has
been
happening.
We
will
continue
it,
but
in
our
response
she
saw
that
we
have
an
actual
strategy
on
paper.
L
A
We're
keeping
that
500.,
yes,
sir,
to
build
our
program:
okay,
yeah,
no
problem
and
I'm
cool
I'm
cool
with
that
and
the
400
right.
It's
a
it's
for
a
partnership,
so
yeah
come
on
over
and
get
this
money
directly
involved
if
they're
not
directly
involved,
but
also.
We
can
still
use
a
little
bit
of
that
400
for
that
as
well,
because.
A
I
just
want
to
get
some
clarity,
but
we
on
the
same
page
and
I
think
it's
extremely
intelligent
to
bring
a
person
in
the
house
to
say:
okay,
they're
not
directly
involved,
but
we're
going
to
be
working
to
help
individuals
who
are
threatened,
who
are
more
likely
going
to
be
threatened
for
the
most
part
and
a
lot
of
times.
It's
just
me
just
intimidation
period
to
not
even
think
about
getting
involved.
A
A
E
Are
but
I
will
I
will
say
this
is
this
is
my
personal
opinion
on
this
and
not
a
policy
I
think
that
we
have
to
be
careful
of
that
in
that
displacement
oftentimes
as
a
driver
of
violence.
Until
when
we
move
people
to
a
new
neighborhood
that
often
opens
up
them
up
for
new
vulnerabilities,
and
so,
let's
figure
out
a
way
to
pull
the
block
down,
and
so
folks
can
still
continue
to
live
in
their
neighborhoods.
E
A
J
A
A
I'm
doing
pretty
good
can't
complain,
can't
complain
just
give
me
an
overview,
hospital-based
intervention.
I
know
some
time
ago
we
were
supportive
of
myself
and
councilman
Jamie
Gautier
some
funding
to
help
expand
the
dashboard
and
improve
your
work
that
your
office
have
been
doing
and
the
hassle-based
Coalition
and
so
forth,
and
so
just
give
an
update
of
where
we're
at
in
terms
of
addressing
gun,
violence
from
a
public
health
standpoint.
M
Absolutely
and
I'll
just
is
it
okay,
if
I
just
launch
into
my
testimony?
Is
that
appropriate
sure?
Okay,
yes
and
that
might
answer
some
questions
and
I'm
of
course
happy
to
answer
more.
So
thank
you
all
chairman
Johnson
Council
persons,
Jones
committee
members,
I,
really
appreciate
you
inviting
me
to
the
session
today.
So,
as
you
all
know,
our
city
faces
a
Public
Health
crisis
as
firearm.
M
So
I
have
three
objectives
this
afternoon
and
speaking
with
this
committee
on
how
we
move
forward.
The
first
is
to
summarize
some
of
the
work
of
the
injury
program
to
your
point:
councilman
Johnson,
in
response
to
the
ongoing
crisis.
The
second
is
to
provide
a
brief
summary
of
the
ongoing
evaluation
work
for
the
community
expansion
grant
program,
and
my
final
objective
is
a
statement
on
where
we
go
from
here
and
the
importance
of
integrating
and
coordinating
efforts
towards
Collective
action.
M
So
I'm
I'm,
certain
I've
testified
to
this
committee
before,
on
the
general
tenants
of
a
public
health
approach,
including
understanding
the
scope
and
nature
of
the
problem,
identifying
the
factors
that
are
driving
it
and
that
are
protective
against
it
and
then
implementing
strategies
that
are
informed
by
that
knowledge
and
scaling
those
to
effect
so
that
they
have
the
impact
that
we
need.
So
in
moving
towards
an
ongoing
understanding
of
the
scope
and
nature
of
gun,
violence
and
its
drivers
in
our
city.
M
Our
program
provides
some
information
on
firearm
injuries
through
our
injury
prevention,
dashboard,
putting
an
overview
of
the
public
health
approach,
which
we
think
is
an
important
framing
piece
and
then
a
description
of
the
social
determinants
of
Health
that
we
know
overlap
with
firearm
injury.
Geographically
in
our
city
and
then
city-wide
Trends
and
violence
over
the
years
and
some
demography
around
fire
and
violence
as
well,
we
also
provide
some
information
around
Ed
visits
and
hospitalization
costs,
and
this
information
is
most
useful
over
time
to
see
how
these
things
are
changing.
M
In
addition
to
this,
our
program
runs,
as
most
of
you
know,
the
firearm
homicide
review.
This
effort
has
been
an
important
convening
of
18
agencies
and
organizations,
all
of
which
touch
the
lives
and
communities
affected
by
fire
and
violence
in
our
city.
In
some
way,
this
effort
is
grounded
in
data
and
has
provided
us
with
knowledge
of
where,
in
the
city,
we
interact
with
people
who
lose
their
lives
to
violence
and
how
we
can
create
opportunities
for
prevention
and
services
in
each
agency
and
organization.
M
So
as
an
example,
the
vast
majority
of
the
individuals
that
we
are
reviewing
have
made
contact
with
health
systems,
and
so
that
underscores
the
importance
of
that
hospital-based
work
and
serving
towards
prevention,
but
this
work
is
also
grounded
in
stories,
a
recognition
that
these
are
Sons
and
Daughters
brothers
and
sisters,
neighbors
and
friends.
We
must
never
lose
sight
of
the
real
lives
behind
the
numbers,
and
this
perspective
should
inform
everything
we
do.
M
Some
of
our
core
work
has
of
recent
has
really
been
about
integrating
practices
and
knowledge
between
programs
and
institutions
that
are
practicing
the
same
model
of
violence
prevention,
so
we
have
two
coalitions
that
focus
on
this
work.
The
first
that
was
already
alluded
to
is
a
coalition
of
the
hospital-based
violence,
intervention
programs
and,
as
of
today,
there
are
hvips
and
all
of
our
six
level
one
Trauma
Centers.
These
centers
saw
the
vast
majority
84
of
all
firearm
violence
survivors
last
calendar
year,
so
we
know
that
they're
the
right
place
for
this
work.
M
These
programs
provide
trauma-informed
care,
comprehensive
case
management
to
victims
of
many
types
of
violence,
but
our
Coalition
is
focused
on
the
services
provided
to
victims
of
firearm
violence.
Our
Coalition
has
been
working
together
to
determine
I
mean
how
many
individuals
who
have
been
injured
by
a
firearm
might
be
eligible
for
these
services
and
on
the
basis
of
age
alone.
M
The
Coalition
has
named
a
few
really
important
barriers
to
engagement
that
are
worth
naming,
and
that
includes
individuals
struggling
with
meeting
their
basic
needs,
who
need
support
in
order
to
engage
in
trauma
healing
and
then
better
coordination
between
and
within
Healthcare
and
City
systems.
The
Coalition
recognizes
that
the
best
way
to
increase
the
reach
and
impact
of
this
work
in
this
population
is
to
create
a
uniform
approach
to
reducing
these
barriers.
M
So
we're
all
trying
to
achieve
things
together
and
our
Coalition
believes
that,
as
we
work
to
make
programs
sustainable
through
funding,
improve
victim
access
to
supports,
identify
access
to
these
Services
as
a
right
and
standardize
the
training
and
support
for
violence,
intervention
Specialists.
We
can
improve
the
impact
to
this
model
in
our
city.
M
Our
second
Coalition,
which
is
also
alluded
to,
is
comprised
of
the
city's
cure
violence
programs,
so
this
model
has
three
components:
detecting
and
interrupting,
potentially
violent
conflicts
identifying
and
treating
those
at
highest
risk
and
then
working
towards
mobilizing
the
community
to
change
Norms.
We've
identified
four
programs
at
various
stages
of
implementation
and
have
created
a
monthly
forum
for
programs
to
identify
common
barriers
to
implementation
opportunities
for
expansion
and
then
Implement
Collective
strategies.
M
We
believe
these
convenings
are
critically
important
in
this
time
of
heightened
violence.
Many
of
these
programs
are
working
in
similar
communities
and
are
likely
even
engaging
the
same
individuals.
A
key
component
of
the
road
map,
as
you
all
know,
is
integration
working
together
towards
a
common
goal.
These
coalitions
are
built
on
that
vision.
M
The
injury
prevention
program
has
also
worked
to
support
the
evaluation
arm
of
the
community
expansion
grant
program.
So
I
do
want
to
take
a
moment
to
summarize
the
evaluation
strategy
to
this
committee.
The
core
goal
of
the
ceg
program
evaluation
is
to
determine
how
effectively
programs
are
reaching
individuals
who
are
at
high
risk
of
Engagement
and
Firearm
violence
and
how
Effectiveness
can
be
improved,
expanded
and
built
upon.
M
The
evaluation
is
also
aimed
at
determining
whether
program
outcomes
align
with
a
reduction
in
exposure
to
firearm
violence
among
participants,
as
well
as
increased
services
and
opportunities
for
individuals
and
communities
impacted
by
violence.
The
evaluation
team
has
been
tasked
with
evaluating
how
well
program
outputs
align
with
outcomes
of
decreased
gun,
violence,
victimization
and
perpetration
and
programs
have
a
diverse
range
of
services
that
they
provide,
and
additional
outcomes
may
include
things
like
improved
mental
health
or
traumatic
stress.
M
So
this
evaluation
should
position
programs
to
understand
their
current
impact
and
grow
to
expand
that
impact
within
their
communities,
and
so
I
just
want
to
under
underscore.
In
summary,
success
in
ceg
is
defined
as
a
reduction
in
exposure
to
violence
and
increased
services
and
opportunities
among
participants
of
the
program.
M
So
both
reducing
exposure
to
violence
and
increasing
services
are
important.
Evaluation
activities
include
focus
groups,
staff
interviews
and
participant
surveys
aimed
at
answering
these
core
questions
and
for
each
grantee.
The
team
has
performed
data
landscape
analysis
that
looks
at
the
types
of
data
collected
within
programs,
the
methods
of
data
collection
and
the
time
frames
for
data
collection.
M
This
analysis
has
also
laid
out
the
program
output
categories
that
each
grantee
May
collect,
which
include
involvement
or
interactions
with
law
enforcement
in
the
Criminal
Justice
System,
including
gun
violence,
involvement,
academic
outputs,
job
related,
outputs,
Social,
Capital,
outputs
and
mental
and
physical
health
and
finally
Community
level.
Outputs
are
another
category,
so
members
of
the
evaluation
team
have
also
participated
in
a
series
of
site
visits
to
learn
firsthand
about
the
work
that
grantees
are
engaged
in
within
their
communities.
The
evaluation
team
and
the
technical
assistance
team
have
worked
in
concert.
M
The
final
evaluation
will
be
completed
in
early
2023
and
we
look
forward
to
bringing
those
finalized
reports
back
to
this
committee.
Finally,
I
want
to
say
a
word
on
where
we
go
from
here.
It's
important
that
we
stop
and
acknowledge
the
pain
that
so
many
are
feeling
we've
lost
too
many
lives
as
a
city,
we
have
too
many
walking
wounded.
These
are
my
patients.
These
are
neighbors.
These
are
family
members,
and
these
are
our
friends
in
Philadelphia.
We
have
a
great
deal
of
activity
in
the
work
of
violence,
prevention
and
response.
M
One
of
the
key
components
of
the
roadmap
for
safer
communities
is
integration,
coordination,
collaboration
and
all
of
these
words
capture
a
critical
part
of
the
solution
solution
unleash.
Unless
each
of
us
who
are
touching
the
lives
of
those
exposed
to
violence
are
working
in
concert.
We
can
have
activity
without
the
progress
we
so
desperately
need,
and
we
can't
confuse
activity
for
progress,
It's
increasingly
clear
that
there's
no
single
solution
that
will
erase
gun
violence
from
our
communities.
M
What
will
work
is
the
development
of
a
coordinated
ecosystem
where
individuals
can
transition
between
Health
Systems,
criminal
justice
systems,
violence
prevention
organizations
and
the
streets
of
their
Community,
with
trauma-informed
coordinated
services
to
support
their
health
and
well-being.
This
means
navigating
sharing
data,
sharing
knowledge
about
communities
and
their
distinct
needs
and
cultures
and
prioritizing
the
communities
that
have
been
subject
to
disinvestment
for
generations,
and
it
also
means
acting
as
a
team
where
each
person
knows
where
their
partners
and
assets
are
so.
Efforts
are
not
duplicated,
but
instead
are
Amplified
in
an
emergency
room
resuscitation.
M
When
a
critical
patient
comes
through
the
door.
There
are
many
members
of
the
team
working
to
save
that
patient's
life
to
be
successful.
Each
team
member
knows
their
role
communicates
clearly
and,
most
importantly,
is
focused
on
the
patient
as
the
center
of
all
activity.
No
matter
how
skilled
any
one
provider
is
without
knowledge
of
their
team
and
clarity
about
their
role,
the
patient
suffers,
but
with
coordination
and
collaboration,
the
patient's
life
is
saved,
and
it's
this
image
that
I
keep
in
mind
as
we
all
work
together
to
create
lasting
change
in
Philadelphia.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
was
going
to
get
in
some
questions
regarding
evaluation,
but
I
think
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
wait
until
the
full
report
is
done
and
then,
when
we
do
a
reconvening,
then
we
can
get
a
comprehensive
response
from
it.
But
give
me
an
idea
of
the
goals
for
the
Consortium
of
hospital-based
organizations
that
are
working
together.
M
Sure
so
the
primary
goal
is
to
create
a
standard
approach
to
optimizing
recruitment,
so
there's
plenty
of
existing
data
on
the
impacts
of
hvips
on
the
lives
of
those
who
are
who
participate
in
them.
As
far
as
everything
from
reducing
subsequent
involvement
in
criminal
justice,
reducing
re-injury
to
other
kind
of
more
short-term
goals
like
reducing,
immediate
post-traumatic
stress
symptoms
or
increasing
people's
access
to
things
like
housing
support,
and
so
we
know
that
those
benefits
exist.
M
What's
hard
is
that
each
system,
each
trauma
system
is
recruiting
in
their
own
way
and
there's
going
to
be
some
individualization
for
sure,
but
they're
often
coming
up
against
the
same
barriers
and
each
system
is
trying
to
navigate
them
independently.
So
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
standardize,
Recruitment
and
enrollment
so
that
each
trauma
system
has
that
support
from
the
health
department
and
from
the
city
itself
to
increase
enrollment
and
retention
within
their
programs?
M
It's
going
to
need
a
lot
of
things,
everything
from
some
of
the
things
we
listed
funding
so
that
they
actually
have
the
number
of
violence,
intervention,
Specialists,
trauma,
counselors,
Etc,
that
they
need
to
negotiating
common
barriers,
and
so
everyone
Nationwide
is
struggling
with
mental
health
resources
for
our
clients.
And
so
how
do
we
address
that
need
for
this
particularly
vulnerable
population?
Who
is
sustained
an
incredible
event
of
trauma?
How
do
we
prioritize
them
for
a
service?
M
M
Now,
if
we
were
to
say
what
percent
of
non-fatally
injured,
firearm
violence
survivors
have
been
touched
by
a
program,
we
don't
know
that
number.
That
number
requires
integrative
data
sharing
for
us
to
really
know
what
our
current
reach
is
and
that
helps
us
know
where
we
need
to
go
and
the
expectation
isn't
100.
Not
everybody
needs
a
program.
Some
people
haven't,
you
know
existing
supports
already,
but
the
number
is
certainly
not
as
many
as
it
could
be,
and
so
that's
our
other
priority.
M
That's
the
goal
of
the
the
injured
prevention
registry
of
all
the
people
who
are
eligible
for
a
service.
How
many
get
it
we
don't
even
know
that,
and
then
we
can
decide
how
many
should
be
getting
it
and
start
to
bridge
that
Gap
collectively,
and
we
hope
that
the
health
department
is
a
good
forum
for
all
of
that
information
to
be
centralized.
Otherwise,
it's
kind
of
siled
in
different
trauma
systems.
A
F
F
If
there
are
any
follow-up
questions
afterwards,
I
would
be
tapping
their
shoulders
to
drill
down
further,
but
with
that
I'd
like
to
just
briefly
go
into
our
slide
deck.
This
is
just
a
high
level
overview.
As
you
know,
we
tend
to
kind
of
go
into
where
we
are
just
give
background
on
where
we
are
with
the
numbers
around
gun,
violence
and
then
touch
on
some
key
accomplishments
that
we've
seen
thus
far
this
year.
So
Kevin
next
slide,
please.
F
So,
as
you
can
see,
year-to-date
we're
down
about
eight
percent
of
homicides
compared
to
the
previous
year
and
we're
up
one
percent
in
our
non-fatal
shooting
victims.
You
see
that
column
there
for
inside.
We
started
tracking
inside
versus
outside
in
2020
to
be
able
to
track
if
there
are
any
significant
differences
being
that
folks
were
more
isolated
and
we
were
quarantining
at
the
time.
But
you
see
the
numbers
when
you
relate
the
homicide
percentages
versus
the
non-fatal
shooting
victims.
F
The
decreases
versus
the
homicides
that
occurred
inside
is
about
a
seven
percent
decrease,
but
the
shootings
that
are
happening
inside
are
up
six
percent
compared
to
the
previous
year
as
we
move
down
to
the
bottom
of
the
slide.
These
are
our
still
are
our
drivers
of
the
violence
that
we've
been
seeing:
arguments,
drugs
and
domestic
incidences,
but
what's
up
no
you'll
see
decreases
here
right?
So
there's
a
three
percent
decrease
in
our
arguments:
43
decrease
in
Narcotics,
related
homicides
and
then
the
domestics
are
flat.
F
There
you'll
see
a
dramatic
decrease
in
Narcotics,
related
homicides
and
I
will
tell
you.
We
have
been
hunkering
down
and
partnering
again,
very,
very
closely
with
our
federal
Partners
DEA
ATF
and
just
working
around
the
clock
to
do
what
we
can
to
get
drugs
off
the
street,
but
we
know
as
quickly
as
we
Attack
One
supply
chain,
another
one
pops
up
so
that
that
one
is
constantly
in
motion,
but
I
wanted
to
set
the
tone
with
this
particular
slide.
Next
slide.
Please.
F
If
you
look,
there's
a
left
column
and
a
right
column,
those
columns,
the
left
column,
those
districts
that
are
in
bold,
we
are
highlighting
those
not
just
because
they've
seen
some
pretty
significant
decreases,
but
those
are
pretty
violent
districts.
There
have
been
when
you
compare
them
to
the
previous
year.
Those
are
some
of
our
most
or
have
been
some
of
our
most
problematic
and
we're
happy
to
report
out
that
these
districts
are
seeing
some
very
significant
decreases
there.
F
So
I
I
won't
read
each
one
of
those
but
I
think
that's
something
that
should
be
highlighted
and
uplifted
for
everyone
to
know
and
for
everyone
to
see
next
slide.
Please
I'll
keep
going
back
to
the
number
of
crime
guns
that
we've
recovered.
If
we
continue
on
the
pace
and
again
for
our
audience
out
there,
who
may
not
know
illegal
crime
guns,
we're
not
talking
about
those
who
have
a
permit
to
carry
or
they've
been
turned
in
for
safe
keeping.
F
These
are
illegally
carried,
Firearms
or
guns
that
have
been
used
in
a
crime.
If
we
continue
on
at
the
pace
that
we're
on
now,
we're
really
we're
going
to
hit
over
6
200
and
the
number
of
guns
that
we've
gotten
off
the
street.
We're
currently
hovering
around
5
800,
but,
as
you
can
see
just
dating
back
to
2018,
the
number
continues
to
increase.
We're
often
asked
what's
one
of
the
main
drivers
that
you
think
is
driving
the
the
homicide
that
or
just
to
flat
out
the
shootings
that
we're
seeing
and
we're.
F
F
So,
just
going
into
some
of
our
accomplishments,
we've
actually
gotten
a
lot
done
this
year
as
a
department
and
across
the
organization,
but
we're
focusing
solely
for
the
purposes
of
this
committee,
because
we're
talking
about
the
gun,
violence,
we're
talking
about
those
that
are
directly
correlated
to
gun
violence.
Everything
that
we
do
has
an
impact
on
our
ability
to
prevent
and
reduce
crime.
But
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
these.
F
Now
you
might
be
scratching
your
head
and
saying:
why
are
you
throwing
that
up
there
as
an
accomplishment?
Here's
why
we
set
the
goal
for
a
30
clearance
rate,
and
even
then
you
may
recall,
you
asked
me
councilmember
Johnson
well
in
that
kind
of
low,
oh
yes,
low,
but
remember
we
were
in
single
digits
and-
and
you
know
the
hovering
around
12
at
one
point.
F
So
I
think
this
is
showing
that
this
is
working
and
it's
a
current
state
in
a
process
in
progress
and
as
we're
able
to
promote
more
detectives
and
align
detectives
with
where
all
of
the
you
know
where
most
of
the
crime
is
happening.
I
am
confident
that
we'll
see
that
number
go
up.
Another
good
thing
is
that
they're
currently
40
warrants
outstanding
for
non-fatal
shootings.
So
once
we,
you
know
we'll
that
will
add
to
our
clearance
rate
as
well.
F
F
Well,
effective,
December
4th.
So
you
see
that's
a
significant
jump
there
and
we
expect
to
continue
to
see
those
numbers
increase.
The
homicide
unit
has
also
increased
their
arrest
warrants,
issued
from
109
to
2021
to
114.,
despite
a
lower
homicide,
count
in
2022
and
there's
32
outstanding
warrants
that
still
need
to
be
addressed.
So
there's
work
being
done.
F
That's
why
we're
emphasizing
that
there's
work
being
done,
we're
identifying
folks
we're
getting
people
in
custody
and
I
believe
with
the
work
and
the
focus
that
we're
employing
we'll
continue
to
see
those
numbers
increase.
We
also
enhanced
our
training
for
detectives.
This
was
really
really
important.
F
Trainees
and
25
million
has
been
allocated
for
over
five
years
to
make
enhancements
there,
and
they
also
launched
a
dedicated
gun
violence
DNA
program
to
expand
our
DNA
connection,
collection
and
Analysis,
which
yet
again
is
using
DNA
in
a
different
way
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
only
identifying
those
who
we're
trying
to
get
but
to
make
very
relevant
linkages
to
allow
us
to
prevent
the
next
shooting
from
from
occurring
if
possible.
Next
slide,
please.
F
In
the
beginning
of
the
year,
we
talked
about
how
we
were
honored
to
be
selected
to
be
a
part
of
the
National
Public
Safety
partnership.
We
have
we've
really
pushed
the
button
on
this.
The
accelerate
button-
if
that
is
a
thing
on
this-
in
that
you
know
this
project.
Typically,
it
would
take
three
years
three
years
of
Assessments
and
we
made
it
very
clear.
F
F
This
is
ensuring
that
we're
not
only
able
to
keep
booths
on
the
ground
out
in
the
field,
meaning
that
officers
don't
have
to
go
back
into
the
office.
Make
phone
calls
find
a
contact
for
L
and
I,
and
you
know
and
other
things,
but
it's
also
ensuring
that
our
detectives
and
our
supervisors
are
closer
to
their
customer
base.
They're
more
accessible
individuals
and
families
can
contact
their
assigned
investigator
because
they
now
have
it
sounds
so
basic,
but
a
department
of
this
size.
F
You
know
it
requires
the
resources
and
it's
quite
costly,
but
it's
really
putting
their
ability
to
do
their
jobs
in
a
much
easier
portable
way.
So
we
can
be
accessible.
We
can
work
in
real
time
and
we
can
get
Beats
done.
The
original
pilot
showed
some
promising
results
from
three
Patrol
districts
and
some
investigating
investigative
units
and,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
believe
that
it
assisted
Us
in
increasing
our
CL,
our
crime
rates,
our
arrest
rates
and
really
enhancing
our
ability
to
share
information
between
the
department
and
Community
member
community
members.
F
Currently
we
have
about
14
a
little
over
1400
smartphones
that
have
been
deployed
and
it's
currently
being
expanded.
City-Wide
next
slide,
please
and
then
I'll
just
wrap
up
with
this
and
be
ready
to
open
it
up.
For
for
some
questions,
we
talk
about
gun
violence
a
lot,
but
we
also
have
to
talk
about
those
who
are
experiencing
some
form
of
Mental
Health
crisis
and
or
addiction
and
there's
an
overlap
there
and
we
have
expanded
our
crisis
intervention.
Response
Team.
F
You
might
recall
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
that
we
were
piloting,
but
we
recently
expanded
what
we
call
our
cert
teams
and
our
police
assisted
diversion,
and
we
graduated
a
very
large
group
that
went
through
a
very
lengthy
training
in
order
to
create
a
behavioral
health
unit.
We
graduated
I
think
the
gradually
last
Friday.
F
A
A
What
did
stick
out,
though?
What
do
you
think
is
contributing
to
the
reduction
and
the
homicides
and
those
two
categories
you
just
showed,
which
was
significant?
Is
that
one
of
the
categories
like
areas
where
they're
significant
gun
bonds
compared
to
the
second
category?
So
from
your
perspective,
what
do
you
think
are
some
of
the
key
drivers
and
and
that
reduction
those
reductions.
F
The
strategy
works
and
we
have
to
stick
to
the
strategy.
I
think
that's
the
important
thing
right.
Are
we
flooding
the
areas
where
the
crime
is
occurring
and
we
recognize
and
the
team
and
I
you
know
will
be
prepared
to
talk
about
this,
probably
in
a
couple
of
weeks
or
so,
but
we
have
to
constantly
re-evaluate
and
reassess
where
the
data
and
the
intelligence
takes
us
if
a
certain
district
has
been
cleaned
up.
For
example,
are
we
ready
to
move
on
to
another
district
and
say?
F
Okay,
our
pinpoint
grid
is
now
shifting
and
adapting
and
I
think
we'll
be
doing
some
of
that
in
the
near
future
and
we'll
be
able
to
talk
about
that
by
in
the
upcoming
weeks.
But
it's
we
have
again.
We
have
to
stick
to
the
plan
and
there's
going
to
be
times
where
it
looks
like
it
doesn't
work
for
various
reasons.
There's
going
to
be
outside
influences
or
factors
you
know,
but
again
we
got
to
stick
to
the
plant.
F
So
that's
the
first
thing
making
sure
that
we're
aligned,
which
is
what
we
have
been
doing
with
our
partners,
whether
it's
Dr
abayas
folks,
whether
it's
Erica
Atlas
folks,
ensuring
that
everything
we're
all
focusing
on
the
same
areas
and
flooding
those
areas
and
giving
people
the
attention
that
they
need,
but
then
also
voicing
and
advocating
to
community
that
once
the
police
move
on.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
there
are
Services
there
to
sustain
the
efforts.
Because
yet
again
to
your
point
that
you
made
earlier
councilman
Johnson
everyone.
F
Fortunately,
they
might
not
pass
away
from
a
shooting
but
they're
still
after
care
issues.
Or
you
know
things
that
they
have
to
consider
for
the
rest
of
their
lives,
being
victims,
shooting
victims.
And
we
also
have
to
pay
attention
to
those
folks
that
have
been
shooters
and
look
at
the
correlations
between
shooting
victims.
Because
we
know
that
there's
correlation
there.
So
all
of
that
to
say
we're.
F
Lastly,
I
cannot
stress
enough
how
helpful
our
partners
have
been
we've
called
in
during
the
year
and
you
know:
I
didn't
put
it
in
the
slide
deck,
but
the
state
police
came
in
and
they
helped
us
and
partner
with
us
on
certain
days
of
the
week,
the
DEA,
the
ATF,
our
fugitive
task
forces
the
marshals.
When
we
talk
about
these
warrants,
you
know
we,
we
have
our
our
partners
over
in
the
marshals
that
have
been
able
to
go
over,
and
you
know
pick
up
these
people
right
away.
A
A
N
So
to
answer
your
question,
what
we've
basically
done
over
the
last
two
years
with
the
four
to
five
million
that
Council
already
pushed
over
to
us
is
first,
what
could
we
add
in
to
our
current
building,
which,
as
you
know,
coming
on
our
tour?
We
are
very
tight
on
space,
but
what
changes
to
our
procedures
could
we
make
to
even
add
on
more
capabilities
with
what
we
currently
have?
N
So
that's
what
we've
been
doing
over
the
last
two
years,
which
is
adding
in
that
program
by
which
we
now
concentrate
a
certain
team
on
working
evidence
from
gun
crimes
through
the
last
year?
Just
in
that
program
by
itself
we
worked
an
extra
2
000
items
than
what
we
would
previously
have
generating
leads
in
a
more
timely
way.
N
That
program
in
and
of
itself
proves
to
us
what
we've
been
saying,
which
is,
if
all
evidence
came
in
and
could
be
worked
in
a
timely
manner,
we
would
generate
actionable
leads.
That
would
help
close
cases
more
quickly,
so
for
the
next
five
years.
What
we're
hoping
to
do
is
looking
at
what
are
the
possibilities
of
adding
on
capabilities
now
the
reality
is
we're
out
of
space
here
and
our
people
already
produce
within
the
top
tier
of
labs
across
the
whole
country.
A
Thank
you.
Mike
just
want
to
get
an
idea
where
we're
at
in
that
process.
I
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
and
it's
been
expressed
several
different
times-
that
in
order
for
us
to
continuously
bring
down
the
homicide,
I
guess
claiming
straight
with
a
shooting
rate
you
know,
forensics
was
has
been
a
subject
of
conversation,
so
I'm
glad
we're
going
to
write
Direction
in
in
that
area
and
then
the
last
but
not
least,
commissioner,
before
I
go
on
to
the
next
panel
and
I.
A
Don't
know
if
this
was
probably
a
question
for
for
your
team
or
can
I
save
it
for
the
gunbones
task
force,
but
obviously
I
looked
at
the
trend,
you
said
well,
we'll
probably
make
6
000
Plus
recovery
of
guns
and
I'm.
Obviously,
then
that
begs
the
question:
what
are
we
doing
the
track
down
where
the
guns
are
coming
from?
A
What
are
we
doing
to
make
sure
those
are
selling
guns
illegally,
are
prosecuted
to
the
full
extent
of
Law
and,
most
importantly,
making
sure
those
are
supposed
to
have
a
gun,
don't
get
a
gun
in
the
first
place?
Do
you
want
to
just
share
any
addition?
Normally
I
would
talk
to
the
Attorney
General's
office
about
this
particular
issue,
because
obviously
they're
charged
the
track
down
where
these
guns
are
coming
from
and
making
sure
they
don't
get
inside
anyone's
hands,
and
so
what
I
want
to
just
say
to
you
and
your
team.
A
You
know
and
I
think
the
Investments
that
we're
doing
in
a
variety
of
other
issues
and
the
enforcement
I
always
say:
prevention,
intervention
and
enforcement
right
comprehensively.
That's
just
how
I
see
things.
Adventure
intervention
find
a
way
to
intercede,
prevention,
finding
way
to
invest,
and
unfortunately,
yes,
some
people
just
got
to
go.
That's
just
the
reality
of
of
life
that
we
can't
shy
away
from.
When
it
comes
to
dealing
with
this
type
of
issue
and
so
to
you
and
your
team,
thank
you
keep
up
the
good
work
anyway.
I
continue.
A
A
F
Sure-
and
just
so
everyone
knows,
DC
Robin
wouldn't
really
had
to
participate
in
arbitration
today.
So
in
her
place
we
have
staff
inspector
hooven,
but
as
the
staff
inspector,
hey
Mike,
as
he's
coming
on
I
want
to,
let
you
guys
know
all
is
not
lost
it's.
It's
no
secret
that
our
class
sizes
are
nowhere
near
what
they
were
prior
to
my
arrival
here.
But
the
good
news
is
that
people
are
still
interested
and
our
class
sizes
are
smaller.
F
We
have
a
class
on
Friday,
that's
about
to
graduate
of
about
37
in
another
class,
hovering
around
30-ish
or
so
on.
Monday
and
we've
recently
promoted
over
150
folks
throughout
this
year,
including
making
sure
that
a
lot
of
those
individuals
were
detectives
that
went
to
either
the
shooting
investigations
group
or
in
other
parts
of
the
city
for
detectives.
So
we
are
definitely
on
that
piece,
but
I
will
turn
it
over
to
the
staff
inspector
to
talk
about
our
recruitment
efforts
and
where
we
think
we'll
be
in
the
upcoming
year.
A
I
just
wanted
to
correct
one
one
part
of
your
statement:
No
all
hope
is
not
lost.
We
don't
believe
that,
because
your
numbers
shows
the
opposite,
that's
right.
So
if
you
can
reduce
with
the
numbers
you
have
obviously,
as
you
expand,
we
can
do
more
and
we
want
to
be
supportive
of
those
efforts.
Thank
you.
Michael
you're.
C
Welcome.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Thank
you,
Council
chair
and
members
of
council,
so
a
brief
overview
about
recruitment's
moving
and
how
we've
done
throughout
the
year
and
we'll
continue
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
We're
continuing
to
do
our
listening
listening
sessions
on
the
current
climate
and
ways
to
improve
our
relationships
with
the
existing
partners
and
our
local
community
and
organizations
we're
doing
a
lot
more
of
assistance.
C
We've
recognized
that
the
high
number
of
washout
for
applicants
was
in
the
Nelson
Dining
reading
test,
as
well
as
our
Agility
Test.
So
as
a
unit
Captain
McCoy's
done
great
strides
with
Partnerships,
with
Temple
University,
as
well
as
CCP
in
reference
to
reading
test
assistance,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
the
Nelson
Denny,
there's
a
whole,
my
rate
of
not
necessarily
issues
but
conversations
about
the
test
of
itself
being
it's
from
1929
and
it
gets
a
little
confusing
for
someone.
C
That's
been
out
of
a
cholester
program
for
a
certain
amount
of
time
with
that
said,
we're
helping
folks
prior
to
taking
the
test
that,
when
they
sign
up
to
prepare
care
for
that,
so
our
local
university
has
been
really
helpful
with
that
with.
As
far
as
the
agility
part
of
the
test
now,
when
folks
sign
up,
they
are
aware
what
they're
required
to
do
when
it
comes
to
orientation
or
agility.
With
being
a
mile
and
a
half
run
the
setups
push-ups
things
of
that
nature.
C
We've
worked
in
collaboration
with
Kevin
Bethel
and
his
folks
at
the
school
district
to
take
different
locations
around
the
city.
As
for
to
bring
folks
in
for
Preparation
testing
and
it's
voluntary
basis,
we
do
it
twice
a
week
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays
two
different
times
so
as
far
as
just
to
give
a
perspective
of
where
we're
doing
it
we're
trying
to
diversify.
So
we
get
all
four
corners
of
the
city,
so
folks
don't
have
to
travel
all
the
way
to
our
police
facility
in
the
Northeast
to
say,
they're
from
out.
C
You
know
all
52nd
Street,
so
we've
been
using
areas
such
as
in
Southwest
we're
at
parts
from
high
school
in
East
Division
we're
in
Edison
Northeast.
We've
used
our
training
facility
as
well
as
Northeast
High,
School
CCP
is
still
a
partner.
In
that
come
spring.
We
want
to
go
a
little
more
South,
Philly
and
then
The
Hunting
Park
area
to
councilperson
Vaughn's
35th
District
things
of
that
we're
just
trying
to
get
everywhere.
We
can
with
that.
So
that's
been
really
successful.
C
Two
sessions
ago,
which
had
been
last
week,
we
had
140
folks
show
up.
We
had
about
70
last
night
in
the
rain.
So
with
that
said,
that's
really
good
and
it
shows
people
where
they
need
to
be
and
what's
expected
of
them,
so
we'll
get
them
the
most
prepared
they
could
possibly
be
to
get
through
our
orientation
on
to
the
next
phase
of
processing.
C
C
As
the
commissioner
said,
we
have
30
approximately
30
going
in
on
Monday
and
we
have
a
class
coming
out
this
Friday
as
far
as
the
sign
ups,
our
actual
recruiting
process.
So
back
in
may.
Obviously
we
know
we
all
know
the
waiver
The
Residency
waiver
was
lifted
in
May.
So
around
that
time,
when
we
were
open
in
that
particular
block,
we
had
about
900
applicants
the
show
we're
turning
in
the
right
direction
direction.
Our
last
open
enrollment.
C
We
had
1700
folks
sign
up
so
we're
getting
a
bigger
applicant
pool,
which
is
fantastic
right
now
for
that
1700
I,
don't
I
only
have
names
and
emails,
so
I
couldn't
tell
you
percentages
of
how
many
of
those
folks
are
from
outside
the
city
or
not.
I
know
that
is
a
key
question
in
Council
meetings.
So
as
that
comes
available,
I'm
sure
we'll
be
able
to
give
it
to
you
finances.
C
This
will
allow
us
to
get
someone
directly
there
get
them
in
a
conversation,
engage
them
and
possibly
get
their
name
on
a
piece
of
paper
that
we
can
move
use
going
forward
as
far
as
that
budget
as
well
we're
also
in
the
RFP
stage
of
marketing,
with
Odyssey
Philadelphia
for
our
media
campaign.
That's
moving
through
the
process
that
looks
like
it's
going
to
be
good
as
well
as
or
applicant
processing
system,
which
will
be
our
ATS
was
the
active
applicant
tracking
system.
C
C
A
Well,
one
give
a
shout
out
to
verdell
Johnson
right,
I
know
the
work
that
he
does
he's,
always
promoting.
Y'all
training
he's
posting.
It
take
a
lot
of
pride
in
his
work
as
a
Philadelphia
police
officer,
always
showing
what
the
training
the
new
class
numbers
are
doing,
yeah,
which
I
think
is
great
in
terms
of
informing
The
Wider
public,
that
this
is
what
being
a
Philadelphia
police
officer
is
all
about
and
coming
from
him
he's
a
good
guy.
C
Okay,
as
far
as
my
purview
there's,
an
overarching
process
that
Chief
Morant
I'm
sure
would
be
able
to
explain
a
little
bit
further
her
and
her
team's
great
work.
But
as
far
as
my
purview,
one
thing
we
specifically
do
is
go
to
the
hbcus
down
to
Lincoln
and
Cheney
to
have
it
direct
that
us
lifting
the
resident
requirement
allowed
us
to
go
to
Lincoln
and
Cheney
and
offer
opportunities
of
folks
that
might
not
be
from
Philadelphia,
so
the
hbcus
is
extremely
beneficial
for
us.
C
That's
one
thing
that
I've
directed
my
folks
to
do
as
far
as
when
we're
at
on
college
campuses,
where
we're
going
and
then,
where
we
stage
normally
so
you'll,
see
us
at
major
events.
You'll
see
us
at
job
fairs
things
of
that
nature,
but
during
the
week
sometimes
you
might
not
see
us.
We
hit
all
four
corners
of
the
city
based
on
our
recruitment
team
and
just
set
up
believe
it
or
not.
C
We
get
a
lot
of
action
at
gyms
supermarkets,
things
that
are
a
little
out
of
the
ordinary,
where
you
think
you'd
find
an
applicant,
but
we
do
and
we
do
well
with
those
places.
But
we
ensure
that
we're
constantly
putting
our
folks
in
the
right
places
where
we
think
we
can
recruit
more
and
diversify
police
force,
cool.
J
F
J
F
Thank
you
for
your
comments
on
that
I'm
gonna,
tap,
DC,
Frank
fenor,
just
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
law.
As
far
as
overall
policy
decision
I
mean
the
law
is
what
the
law
is
and
private
businesses
are
allowed
to.
Armed
sort
of
you
know
to
hire
certified
armed
security
guards
within
the
legal
parameters.
P
No
good
afternoon
Mr,
chair
and
council
members,
I'm
Frank,
fenor,
Deputy
Commissioner
of
Investigations,
and
just
reiterate
with
the
commissioner
had
said:
there
are
security
guards,
the
Commonwealth
that
are
licensed
by
the
state
with
act
235
privileges,
which
means
they
could
carry
a
firearm
while
their
work
security
guard.
Now
as
long
as
they're,
legally
working
as
a
security
guard
for
a
bona
fide
company.
P
That's
all
well
and
good,
so
do
I
know
that
that
group
is
definitely
gonna
and
if
there's
something
I'll,
definitely
step
in
and
do
what
we
have
to
do
by
the
guidance
of
our
legal
partners
and
office.
But
at
this
point,
if
any
entity
for
their
business
wants
to
operate
with
a
security
guard
as
long
as
they
do
it
within
the
state
parameters,
they
could
do
that.
J
That's
a
a
lot
of
Firepower
to
have
in
that
Community
should
something
occur,
and
I
and
I'm
not
saying
that
the
folks
that
are
committing
crimes
are
not
carrying
high-powered
Firepower
as
well,
but
even
with
it
being
a
a
thoroughfare,
you
know
being
a
highway,
a
Broad
Street.
You
know
a
lot
of
innocent
people
can
be
affected.
If
something
did
happen
there.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
some
innocent
bystanders
or
drivers
affected
by
this
individual
trying
to
do
his
job.
A
Any
other
questions
from
members
of
this
committee
for
this
panel
hearing
that
commission
again
I'm
gonna,
give
you
props
publicly
as
I
do
because
I
believe
you
deserve
the
props,
you
and
your
team
for
the
progress
that
we
have
made
and
just
wanted
to
get
acknowledged
that
until
you
keep
up
the
good
work
any
way
that
we
could
be
supportive
as
members
of
council
don't
hesitate
to
reach
out
and
let
us
know
thank
you
for
your
time
today.
We.
B
Q
Q
Q
You
know
what
I,
from
my
perspective
as
a
researcher
working
in
the
United
States
and
around
the
world
on
armed
conflict
and
violence
prevention,
what
I
see
as
effective
practice
and
kind
of
where
Philadelphia
fits
in
that?
From
my
perspective,
so
you
know,
I'm
often
asked
what
other
cities
do,
who
have
successful
violence,
intervention
initiatives
and
I
always
start
with.
Q
You
don't
want
to
mix
in
a
young
person
who's
at
very
low
risk
for
violence
in
with
folks
who
are
at
very
high
risk
for
violence.
There's
a
lot
of
problems
when
you
do
that.
You
want
just
like
a
medicine,
you
want
to
make
sure
it's
appropriately
tailored
to
what
that
person
will
really
benefit
from
you.
Also
cities
that
have
success
in
violence
prevention
initiatives.
They
also
really
understand
how
to
support
the
needs
that
people
have
and
the
needs
are.
Q
You
know
done
in
a
very
specific
way,
understanding
that
it's
not
so
much
based
on
opinion
or
professional
judgment,
but
it's
really
getting
to
know
the
person
measuring
what
their
mental
health
needs
are.
Their
housing
needs
their
employment
needs
all
of
these
sorts
of
things,
so
you
can
really
arrive
at
a
plan
and
a
process
that's
going
to
support
their
needs
and
for
the
population,
that's
really
producing
the
violence
as
well
as
folks
who
have
been
victimized
by
violence.
Q
Long-Term
support
is
needed.
This
is
not
something
where
somebody
can
quickly
change
the
trajectory
of
their
life
when
they
may
have
been
exposed
to
violence,
for
you
know,
decades
or
even
intergenerationally,
across
family
Generations
and
the
Press.
The
problem
is
that
our
interventions
and
our
policies,
our
political
Cycles,
are
short-term
right.
So
it's
always
a
struggle
to
figure
out
how
to
sustainably
support
these
folks.
Over
a
long
enough
time
period,
so
they
actually
can
heal
and
Thrive
the
way
we
would
like
them
to
be.
Q
The
third
area
that
cities
really
need
to
focus
on
is
what's
called
responsivity,
so
you
might
understand
the
risk.
You
might
understand
the
need,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
the
person
who
comes
through
the
intervention
is
going
to
respond
to
the
intervention
and
I
think
Dr
Abaya
as
well
as
Eric
Atwood,
spoke
to
this
to
some
degree,
so
the
Readiness
or
the
responsibility
to
these
interventions.
It
lies
within
the
individual,
but
it
also
lies
within
the
environment
So
within
the
individual,
especially
folks
who
have
experienced
gun
violence.
Q
They
may
not
believe
that
things
can
be
different.
They
may
be
struggling
with
post-traumatic
stress
disorder,
so
mental
health
issues.
They
may
have
their
own
interpersonal
issues
around
development.
The
younger
you
go
and
I
know
we've
seen
so
many.
You
know
young
young
folks
involved
in
gun
violence
in
Philadelphia.
Q
You
also
have
to
write
recognize
that
their
brains
are
not
fully
developed,
and
you
know
until
age
24
and
when
you're
exposed
to
toxic
stress
at
an
early
age,
it
actually
stunts
brain
development
and
increases
the
amount
of
cortisol
in
a
young
person's
brain
which
makes
them
more
fearful
and
less
dependent
on
what
we
think
of
as
our
rational
part
of
our
brain,
where
we
we
can
make
a
cost-benefit
decision.
Young
people
exposed
to
violence.
Q
Their
brain
development
is
is
altered
as
they
expose
toxic
stress
and
they're,
much
more
likely
to
think
impulsively,
which
obviously
is
a
bad
combination
when
you
think
about
violence,
so
that's
the
internal
side
of
responsivity,
but
externally
you
know
the
community
has
to
be
ready
to
help
these
folks
take
a
different
path
right.
So
there
needs
to
be.
You
know,
employment
that
is
is
appropriate
for
folks.
So
you
know
a
lot
of
folks.
One
of
the
most
common
factors
when
you
look
at
folks
who
are
incarcerated
is
very
low
levels
of
literacy.
Q
Many
of
our
young
people
are
pushed
out
of
schools
because
of
Behavioral
issues,
but
also
you
know
that
is
tied
to
maybe
not
having
the
supports.
They
need
to
do
well
in
school.
They
could
be
bullied,
they
may
have.
Special
education
needs
even
something
as
simple
as
a
pair
of
glasses
results
in
them.
You
know
feeling
like
they're
stupid
or
they
don't
want
to
go
to
school,
because
they
they
can't
see
what
you
know.
Q
The
teacher
writes
on
the
board,
and
so
when
they're
called
on,
they
sound
stupid
and
they're
embarrassed,
and
so
they
stop
going
to
school.
When
that
happens,
they
become
vulnerable
right
on
this
streets,
while
their
parents
are
working
or
whatever
their
home
life
is
they
become
vulnerable
to
be
pulled
into
you
know
criminal,
Enterprises
and
and
exploit
it
and
those
sorts
of
things,
so
so
cities
that
really
are
successful.
Q
So
a
hundred
percent
of
people
take
advantage
like
of
the
gvi
program
and
not
just
27,
which
is
great,
but
you
know
it's
still
a
long
way
to
go
from
everybody,
but
even
in
the
best
case
scenario,
when
cities
follow
these
steps-
and
you
know
an
intervention
has
been
shown
to
be
effective
elsewhere,
it
doesn't
mean
it's
going
to
be
effective
here
in
Philadelphia.
So
you
know,
interventions
are
sensitive
to
the
people
and
places
where
they're
implemented.
Q
So
we
would
like
to
plug
in
cure
violence
or
Focus
deterrence
or
gvi
from
somewhere
else,
but
you
can
actually
do
that
and
expect
to
have
the
exact
same
results
and
I
I
could
share
numerous
examples
of
my
experience,
doing
this
in
the
United
States
and
and
in
Central
America,
where
it
just
doesn't
work
so
so
contextualizing,
it
I
think
Shondell
mentioned
this.
The
Philadelphia
model
that's
really
important,
but
it
it
also.
It
doesn't
mean
that
you
don't
follow
the
evidence.
Q
You
also
have
to
really
understand
what
works
and
take
a
science-based
approach
to
this,
because
violence
is
preventable
and
there
are
numerous
examples
around
the
country
and
maybe
some
early
examples
here
in
Philadelphia
with
the
commissioner's
data.
That
shows
that
you
can
decrease
the
violence.
It's
it's
not
a
throw
up
your
hands,
nothing
works
kind
of
situation,
but
we
do
have
to
be
willing
to
follow
the
evidence
and
put
the
resources
in
that
are
needed
to
that
point.
I
think
community-based
organizations
were
brought
up
by
by
Erica,
Atwood
and
others.
Q
Today.
You
know
these
organizations
in
the
community
who
are
best
situated
to
help
our
young
people
avoid
violence
and
and
turn
around
their
lives.
They
often
don't
have
the
Readiness
as
organizations
to
to
to
train
their
staff
to
hire
their
staff
to
make
their
payroll
every
week
to
have
a
safe
building
to
have
transportation.
Q
They
need
a
lot
of
support
to
build
that
capacity,
so
they
can
deliver
high
quality
services,
and
you
know
if
they're
implementing
a
program
that
on
paper
has
Effectiveness,
but
they
don't
have
the
right
training
for
their
staff
or
supervision
or
pay
for
their
staff.
To
implement
that
intervention
well,
the
intervention
is
not
going
to
be
effective
and
it
could
actually
do
harm
right.
So
really,
investing
in
these
organizations
to
have
the
critical
supports
they
need
is
imperative
and
I
think
you
probably
saw
that
in
the
the
report
I
issued
on
the
ccip
evaluation.
Q
You
know
the
intentions
are
strong
from
both
the
program
model
perspective
and
a
day-to-day
worker
perspective,
everybody's
working
really
hard,
but
the
infrastructure,
the
process
us
the
supervision,
the
learning,
the
data,
the
training
that
has
to
be
in
place.
If,
if
we
want
an
intervention
like
ccip
to
succeed,
lastly,
I
would
say:
there's
a
really
important
piece
to
the
puzzle
here.
That
goes
beyond
any
single
intervention
and
I
think
Dr,
Abaya
and
others
have
spoke
to
this.
Q
Why?
Because
we're
not
focused
on
the
prevention
right,
the
Upstream
prevention
that
needs
to
happen
in
the
schools
and
in
the
families
in
the
communities
and
investing
in
places
that
have
been
disinvested
in
for
for
Generations.
So
so
that's
that's!
What
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
all
today,
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
on
this
about
the
ccip
evaluation
or
anything
else
that
I
raised.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you
very
much
just
in
terms
of
the
evaluation
for
the
community
Crisis
Intervention
Program,
you
talked
about
a
couple
issues
such
as
management,
internal
coordination,
Staffing
staff
and
lack
of
environment
by
Community
stakeholders.
Give
me
an
idea
from
your
perspective,
how
these
issues
are
fixable
remedial
steps
in
addressing
the
issues
and
your
overall
recommendations
in
terms
of
a
course
of
action.
Moving
forward.
Q
Thank
you
for
that.
So
I
think.
In
my
experience,
what
the
two
essential
pieces
are
one
having
a
program
director
who
is
directly
responsible
within
the
program
for
making
sure
that
things
are
being
implemented
properly,
staff
are
being
supported.
Data
is
used
to
help
staff
learn
and
improve
over
time
it.
The
research
is
really
clear
that
compliance
monitoring
does
not
produce
better
outcomes.
It
produces
better
compliance
with
process,
but
people
lose
sight
of
the
purpose
of
why
they're
doing
the
work
when
the
focus
is
just
on
compliance.
Q
The
second
component
is
that
Community
involvement,
which
includes
the
agencies
in
my
experience,
it's
it's
essential
on
a
monthly
basis,
at
least
to
have
the
agencies
come
together,
including
the
police
department,
to
sit
around
the
table
and
talk
about.
What's
what's
working
well,
where
the
barriers
are
to
specifically
talk
about
specific
neighborhoods
individuals,
situations
and
collectively
think
about
how
can
we
reach
that
person?
Q
This
area
is
starting
to
get
difficult.
What
should
we
do
there?
So
you
can
always
get
ahead
of
the
problem
and
you
can
praise
the
work
because
it's
exhausting
everybody
feels
so
you
know
desperate
at
times
in
this
work
and
when
you're,
when
you're,
just
by
yourself
and
you
don't-
have
the
whole
team
around
you
to
what
Ruth
was
saying
before
you
don't
really
get
to
see
the
whole
picture
right,
so
it
can
be
very
energizing
to
be
around
the
table
and
hear
that.
Oh
no
I
can
help
you
there.
Q
You
know
we
we've
had.
You
know
a
lot
of
success
in
that
part
of
the
city
or
oh,
that's,
a
pro
I
didn't
realize.
That
was
a
problem.
We
have
data
on
that.
We
can
share
with
you
so
I.
Don't
see
that
happening,
that
much
I
think
the
Coalition
Dr
Ryan
mentioned
is
a
good
start,
but
I
think
ccip
organizations
like
pan.
They
need
to
bring
together
these
actors
on
a
like
I,
said
at
least
a
monthly
basis.
To
specifically
have
these
kind
of
conversations.
A
Right
well,
one
I
want
to
thank
you
for
for
your
time
and
really
giving
us
an
overall
insight
into
the
actual
program.
I
come
from
a
program
called
City
year,
the
Americorps
program.
We
used
to
say
what
what
get
measures
gets
done
right
because
we
probably
get
a
chance
to
reevaluate
on
a
weekly
basis,
consistently
our
goals,
our
objectives,
and
then
we
also
have
a
chance
to
re-strategize,
based
upon
with
the
data,
is
telling
us
and
so
doing
this
type
of
work,
and
that
was
Social
Service
work
as
well.
A
But
it
was
more
along
the
lines
of
volunteer
public
service
right
where
this
was
dealing
with
people's
lives
day
in
and
day
out,
and
it
can
be
exhausting.
But
you
also
need
to
be
able
to
look
at
the
data
to
make
sure
we're
not
just
spinning
our
Wheels
going
in
the
rain
same
direction,
especially
people
who
are
actually
doing
the
work
have
to
feel
supported
and
encouraged
as
they
go
about
doing
this.
A
L
L
All
right
so,
first
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
road
map
of
what
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
today
in
terms
of
gbi
evaluation.
So,
first
I'm
going
to
give
you
an
overview
of
the
quantitative
analyzes
that
will
be
in
the
report
that
is
due
at
the
end
of
January
2023.
I'm,
going
to
go
over
some
of
the
considerations
that
I
had
to
deal
with
in
in
fashioning
this.
L
This
evaluation,
the
data
that
was
used,
precise
questions
that
are
asked
and
will
be
answered
in
the
report,
I'm
also
going
to
talk
about
an
overview
to
qualitative
work
and
before
I
begin.
The
indications
are
that
gbi
is
an
effective
strategy.
However,
findings
will
not
be
reported
until
the
January
2023
pen
report.
So
if
you're
I'm
wondering
oh
like
how
much
did
everybody
had?
L
Okay,
so
key
considerations
guide
quantitative
evaluation.
So
the
overarching
question
that
guided
this
whole
evaluation
process
was
whether
gvi
is
reducing
firearm
violence
in
Philadelphia
and,
specifically,
group
firearm
violence.
So
this
is
a
firearm
violence
stemming
from
necessarily
domestic
issues
or
or
or
or
random
strangers.
This
is
the
firearm
violence
that
is
some
way
connected
to
groups
and
throughout
the
evaluation,
shootings
can
be
defined
as
either
an
injury
or
a
fatality
and
a
okay.
L
So
instead
something
called
the
quasi-experimental
design
is
what
researchers
use
in
the
social
sciences
and
where
what
that
does
is
it
takes
advantage
of
some
type
of
variation
in
in
in
time
or
place
in
which
something
was
implemented?
And
it
was
quite
fortunate
that
gbi
was
implemented
at
different
time.
Points
in
the
different
places
throughout
Philadelphia,
so,
for
example,
it
started
in
Southwest
in
August
2020.
L
It
didn't
move
to
the
I
believe
it
was
the
Central
Central
Division
until
early
2021,
so
that
was
super
useful
in
terms
of
determining
the
effect
of
gvi.
When
you
have
that
type
of
variation
in
place
and
time,
okay
next
slide
all
right,
all
right,
so
just
an
overview.
These
are
just
some
of
the
data
sources,
not
exhaustive.
L
That's
used
in
the
evaluation,
January
2020
May
2022,
the
data
comes
from
the
Delaware
Valley
Intelligence,
Center
divik
and
Philadelphia
Police
Department,
as
well
as
the
office.
Violence,
prevention
and
I
also
use
some
contextual
data
too,
from
the
U.S
Census
Bureau,
all
right.
So
the
evaluation
it
quantitatively
assesses
the
effect
of
gvi
on
shootings
right
and
the
main
levels.
L
A
group
unit
level
place,
which
is
more
precisely
Central
tracks
and
the
individual
level
and
the
reason
I
did
all
these
different
levels
is
because
it
enables
us
to
kind
of
Define
treatment
differently
to
to
figure
out
how
exactly
gvi
might
have
an
effect.
Okay,
okay
and
in
terms
of
I
also
paid
attention.
Besides
outcomes,
I.
Also
tried
to
pay
attention
to
mechanisms,
so
it's
a
quantitative
analysis.
So
dosage
does
one
visit
from
a
gbi
team
to
a
group.
Does
that
have
an
effect
or
do
you
need
two?
L
So,
just
to
give
you
an
overview
of
what
the
group
level
analysis
is,
okay,
so
the
outcome
it
will
is
shootings
per
week
per
group
unit.
Okay,
so
group
a
let's
say
we
have
group
a
it's.
A
shooter,
Group
B
is
the
victim.
So
for
the
analysis,
it'll
be
group
unit,
eBay,
right
and
treatment
in
this
analysis
is
defined
as
at
least
one
direct
contact
between
the
gvi
program
that
could
be
through
the
an
mcit
mobile
call
and
team
visit,
or
if
you
were
calling
meeting
and
a
group
unit.
L
Okay
I
also
did
a
place
level
analysis
and
those
are
census,
tracts
and
essential.
Northwest,
South
and
Southwest
divisions
and
the
outcomes
are
group,
member
involved,
shootings
per
week
per
track
and
all
shootings
per
week
per
track.
So
what
does
that
mean
so
I
also
so
I
look
at
per
census
track
so
per
the
122
census,
tracts
between
January
between
August
2020
and
may
2022
that
had
some
visit
from
the
mobile
Colin
team.
There
are
122
census
tracks
in
Philadelphia,
which
is
approximately
a
third
of
Philadelphia's
population.
L
So
I
look
at
group
member
involved
shootings,
as
well
as
all
shootings,
we're
starting
group
unit
analysis
that
was
just
group
member
involved.
This
is
both
all
shootings
and
group
member
involved
and
for
this
analysis,
I
Define
treatment,
as
at
least
one
contact
between
the
gvi
program
and
a
group
member
or
between
the
gvi
program
and
an
influential
in
that
track.
So
let's
say
I'm
a
gbi,
the
the
group
member
is
not
a
home,
but
the
mobile
Colin
team
makes
contact
with
the
group
members,
parent,
okay,
that
counts
as
a
contact
for
this
analysis.
L
Okay,
awesome
and
I
also
look
at
dosage
I
also
get
spillover
because
that's
a
big
concern
anytime,
there's
like
some
type
of
intervention
like
this.
Are
we
just
simply
we're
treating
this
area,
but
we're
just
simply
spilling
violence
into
the
next
area?
So
that's
something
I
also
tested
as
well.
Next
slide
an
individual
analysis.
Okay.
L
So
this
looks
at
for
individuals
between
who
had
some
type
of
direct
contact,
either
between
a
mobile
calling
team
or
be
or
a
calling
the
likelihood
of
being
shot
per
month
or
the
likelihood
of
committing
offense
that
results
in
an
arrest
per
month.
Okay
and
again,
that
treatment
is
at
least
one
direct
contact
between
the
gvi
program
and
the
individual
next
slide.
L
And
to
kind
of
give
some
good
context
for
the
quantitative
findings:
I
did
some
qualitative
research
as
well
the
primary
the
meat
of
this
evaluation.
It's
going
to
be
data
driven
it's
going
to
be
quantitative,
but
I
also
did
some
qualitative
research
and
what
that
was.
I
talked
to
community
members,
informally
I
had
them
do
a
bit
of
a
survey
to
figure
out
what
exactly
they
knew
about.
Gdpi
I
also
did
surveys
with
the
Philadelphia
Police
Department.
L
The
mobile
Colin
team,
who
served
on
a
mobile
calling
team
and
I
also
spoke
directly
with
individuals
who
are
receiving
gvi,
and
why
did
I
do
this
well,
of
course,
to
provide
concepts
for
the
quantitative
findings,
but
also
there's
a
bit
of
expertise.
You
know
the
folks
who
are
most
affected
by
gun
violence,
whether
the
individuals,
community
members,
even
law
enforcement.
You
know
they're
they're,
the
ones
day-to-day
to
deal
with
this
they're,
going
to
have
perspectives
a
spread
and
their
perspectives
about
violence
in
Philadelphia
generally,
but
also
perspectives
about
gvi.
A
Thank
you
Ruth,
so
I
just
want
to
well
one
that's
a
good
overview
on
the
announcement
of
what
you
and
your
team
are
looking
at
and
then
obviously
we
have
to
be
prepared
for
the
results.
What
time
in
January
are
we
looking
at
we'll
probably
come
back
to
council
around
the
21st?
So
when
we
look
I
mean
the
week
of
the
21st?
So
what
are
we
looking
at
in
terms
of
full
completion
of
the
report.
L
A
You
handle
it
with
what
I'm
contracted
with,
but
I
will
follow
up.
You
know
with
you
and
your
team
wants
the
oh
that
is
complete.
The
report
is
complete,
so
we
can
do
a
comprehensive
q.
A
around
the
results
of
the
actual
evaluation
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
signing
up
and
helping
us
address.
What
I
believe
is
the
most
critical
issue
that
we're
addressing
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
A
A
B
R
A
R
A
L
So
one
of
the
things,
because
it
is
because
of
the
time
period
in
which
this
was
implemented-
it's
kind
of
hard
to
do
perspectively
how
much
that
does
happen
in
effect.
But
is
that
something
like
just
to
give
a
sense
of
like
the
individuals
and
when
I
do?
Do
the
individual
analysis?
What
percentage
across
the
social
services?
What
percentage
to
advance
the
social
services
that
that
descriptively
is
something
that
that
could
be
included
for
sure?
Well,
you.
A
Check
with
the
folks
who
you
know,
did
the
contract
with
you,
but
for
me
it
just
gives
a
snapshot
of
what's
needed
right,
because
this
is
a
characteristic
approaches.
Either
you
engage
in
our
social
services
and
unemployment
that
we're
trying
to
offer
you
to
get
you
out
of
a
life
for
crime
and
drugs
or
you
opt
out,
and
you
decide
to
live
a
life
of
crime
and
drugs
and
have
to
deal
with
the
consequences
of
your
action
from
the
employment
standpoint.
A
H
H
Another
ceasefire
program,
which
is
comprised
of
a
group
of
over
70
agencies
who
meet
weekly
and
are
working
collaboratively
to
address
the
needs
of
individuals,
families
and
communities
in
crisis,
a
special
welcome
to

or
a
Heritage

our
new
Philadelphia
Council
membership
at
large
and
council
member

council
member
Lozada,
our
new
Philadelphia

Members.
My
name
is
Marla
Davis
Bellamy
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Philadelphia
and
have
been
working
in
the
public
health
space
of
violence,
prevention
and
intervention
for
over
20
years.
H
I
share
the
concern
and
frustration
of
many
of
you,
as
well
as
our
community-based
organizations,
schools,
parents,
businesses
and
families
who
are
losing
loved
ones
and
have
been
deeply
impacted
by
gun.
Violence
in
our
city,
I
have
worked
with
former
Health
Commissioners
Dr
Maurice
Clifford
Dr
Robert
Ross,
former
Pennsylvania
Department
of
Health
secretary
Dr,
Calvin
Johnson,
as
well
as
Mr
Kenny,
Gamble,
Congressman
Evans
and
the
Queen
Mother
sister
for
La
capita
and
several
of
our
Council
persons
to
address
this
persistent
problem
of
gun
violence
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
H
As
a
former
Chief
of
Staff
of
the
Pennsylvania
Department
of
Health
I
became
aware
and
brought
the
Chicago
C
Flyer
model
now
know
Nash
nationally
SQL
violence
Global
to
Temple
School
of
Medicine
12
years
ago.
Our
goal
is
to
reduce
homicides
and
shootings
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
Utilizing
an
evidence-based
approach
proven
to
be
effective
in
the
reduction
of
violent
crime
across
the
United
States
and
around
the
world.
Philadelphia
ceasefire
is
about
working
with
high-risk
individuals
that
are
deeply
engaged
in
high
risk
activity,
including
shootings.
H
These
are
the
individuals
according
to
Dr
Daniel
Webster
of
Johns
Hopkins
University
that
are
not
getting
enough
attention
in
our
existing
strategy
in
Philadelphia
to
reduce
violent
crime.
However,
we
are
able
to
successfully
engage
them
one-on-one
and
provide
them
with
Direction
and
support.
They
will
make
better
lifestyle
decisions
which
will
ultimately
lead
to
a
reduction
in
shootings
and
homicides.
We
know
who
they
are,
and
Law
Enforcement
Officers
know
who
they
are,
but
our
approach
is
similar
to
the
AAA
sponsor,
who
is
a
former
alcoholic
who
works
with
someone
who
struggles
with
the
disease?
H
Our
sponsors,
on
the
other
hand,
are
called

they

also
provide

of

please
know
that

There's
a

where
community
members
and
staff
weigh
in
they're
the
ones
who
determine
in
our
program,
who
should
be
a
part
of
our
team.
H
The

should
have
some

with

and
feel
comfortable
with
sharing
any
concerns.
If
they
don't

National

who
interviews
our

and
and
they
weigh
in
as
well
the
case
management
support
that
is
provided
by
our
workers
includes
five

a

Three
telephone
calls
a
week
and
the
goal
is
to
maintain
continuous
involvement
with
them
and
stay
in
their
ear,
like
a
gnat
constantly.
H
This
model
is
a
public
health
approach
which
requires
the
use
of
data
which
helps
guide
where
we
should
implement
the
program.
I,
remember
former
police
chief
Ramsey
saying
if
you
can
make
this
program
work
in
the
22nd
Police
District,
you
can
make
it
work
anywhere.
Well,
we
took
on
that
challenge
and
that's
where
we
started
12
years
ago
on
the
22nd
Police
District,
which
includes
some
of
the
most
dangerous
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
H
After
our
first
year,
we
partnered
with
the
city
silly
Rising
program
and
were
awarded
a
1.5
million
three-year
Grant
from
the
U.S
Department
of
Justice
to
broaden
our
efforts
in
the
22nd
and
39th
Police
District.
The
program
was
evaluated
in
2017
by
Dr
Katarina
Roman
of
the
criminal
justice
department
at
Temple
University.
So
the
evaluation
her
team
concluded
that
Philadelphia's
ceasefire
contributed
to
a
30
percent
reduction
in
shootings
in
the
Target
area.
Since
that
time,
however,
we
have
struggled
to
secure
the
necessary
funding
to
expand
this
work.
H
Through
funding
from
the
Pennsylvania
Commission
on
crime
and
delinquency,
we
were
able
to
create
a
means
for
us
to
work
close
with
victims
and
their
families
by
providing
24-hour
Victim
Assistance
support
to
over
500
victims
of
violent
crime
per
year.
Also,
since
the
onset
of
the
covid-19,
we
have
launched
the
Philly
Hub
I
learned
about
this
public
health
approach
to
crime
prevention
on
the
Department
of
Justice
technical
assistance.
H
Call
that
I
participated
on
I
was
so
impressed,
I
traveled
to
Chelsea
Massachusetts
and
spent
one
week
with
the
Chelsea
Police
Department,
who
had
launched
the
Chelsea
hub
for
years.
Prior
to
my
visit
during
that
week,
I
took
part
in
their
Hub
meeting
where
20
agencies
gathered
weekly
to
discuss
individuals
who
are
experiencing
a
crisis
during
the
Hub
meeting.
While
I
was
there,
a
social
worker
described
an
incident
where
someone
had
been
domestically
abused
after
the
date
of
birth
and
address
of
the
victim
was
shared.
H
The
group
checked
their
iPads
and
laptops
to
see
if
their
agency
had
provided
support
to
the
patient,
they
also
were
able
to
quickly
identify
additional
services
that
this
family
may
have
been
eligible
for.
In
addition
to
this
discussion,
one
of
the
agencies
at
the
Hub
must
serve
as
the
league.
The
lead
agency
is
responsible
for
following
up
with
a
client
within
24
hours.
After
presenting
the
situation
to
the
group,
the
lead
agency
also
joins
with
other
social
services
immediately
after
the
meeting
and
strategizes
as
to
next
steps.
H
At
the
meeting
the
following
week,
the
lead
agency
provides
an
update
to
keep
the
other
partner
agencies
informed
of
any
and
all
progress
to
gate.
The
Chelsea
Hub
has
engaged
in
over
800
situations
and
has
seen
a
40
reduction
in
violent
crime
given
their
success.
We
brought
the
representatives
of
the
Chelsea
Massachusetts
police
department,
Who
Run
The
Hub
in
Massachusetts
to
Philadelphia
and
conducted
a
training
in
February
2020
with
several
agencies
in
the
city
who
are
interested
in
replicating
their
approach.
H
Following
the
training
and
Based
on
data,
the
group
decided
to
focus
our
Hub
in
Philly
on
young
people
Citywide
between
the
ages
of
13
and
24,
as
well
as
individuals
and
families
in
crisis.
Our
group,
which
includes
approximately
70
members
and
30
active
agencies
we
every
Monday
virtually
at
11
A.M.
Our
first
situation
involved
a
19
year
old,
who
suffered
a
spinal
cord
injury
resulting
from
a
bullet
wound
both
the
victim
and
his
mother,
who
is
the
primary
caretaker,
are
confined
to
wheelchairs
in
the
home.
H
In
this
situation,
The
Hub
provided
the
following
services
within
24
to
48
hours.
Behavioral
health
support
was
identified,
groceries
were
delivered
the
day
of
the

and

meetings
since

has
reviewed

situations.

include

as

meetings
as
well.
We
have
developed
relationships
with
one
another
and
understand
the
importance
of
benefit
of
working
together.
What's
important
is
that
we
are
no
longer
working
in
silos.
H
We
are
utilizing
our
combined
resources
to
save
lives
and
bring
peace
to
our
families
and
communities
throughout
the
city
of
Philadelphia

Through
this
process
we've
learned
coordination
requires
dedicated
leadership
and
full-time
support.
Collaboration,
on
the
other
hand,
takes
time
it
will
not
happen
overnight,
building
trust
with
women
with
one
another
as
a
process.
We
must
also
model
this
kind
of
collaboration
within
our
own
organizations
if
we
expect
others
to
adapt
this
approach,
as
for
needs
of
our
clients,
alternative
housing
for
those
impacted
by
violent
crime
and
significance.
H
We
are
also
one
of
the
few
agencies
Statewide,
that
is
working
with
those
that
have
become
disabled
due
to
paralysis
or
traumatic
brain
injury.
You've
also
learned
that
we
need
subject
matter
experts
to
work
diligently
with
us
as
we
work
to
strategize
and
provide
services

Had
an

violent

immediately
contacted
the
CDC
who
assigned
Dr
Chuchu
Saunders
a
pediatrician
and
former
medical
epidemiologist
to
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
We've
also
learned
that
from
other
cities
there
needs
to
be
an
expectation
that
every
business
contract
in
the
city
will
also
have
some
active
role
in
this
effort.
However,
leadership
on
the
local
and
state
level
is
Paramount
and
we
must
proceed
with
a
sense
of
urgency
and
elect
officials
who
will
take
this,
make
this
issue
a
priority
and
do
whatever
it
takes
to
turn
things
around.
H
Let's
visit
Baltimore,
let's
visit
New,
York,
City
and
other
municipalities
in
close
proximity
to
us,
I'm
sure
there
is
something
that
we
can
learn
from
them,
currently
we're
solely
funded
by
the
Pennsylvania
Commission
on
crime,
delinquency
and
every
town
for
gun
safety.
However,
whether
it's
Philadelphia's
ceasefire
or
the
Philly
up,
we
are
committed
to
supporting
community-led,
evidence-based
approaches
and
are
committed
to
working
collaboratively
with
neighborhoods,
the
city,
local
businesses,
philosophic
organizations,
law
enforcement,
Educators
returning
citizens,
elected
officials
and
anyone
who
cares
and
is
willing
to
roll
up
their
sleeve
to
turn
our
city
around.
A
Thank
you
mom,
as
always
for
your
dedication.
You
get
past
them
on
this
particular
issue.
You've
been
on
the
front
lines
and
addressing
this
issue
for
several
years
anyway,
I
can
be
supportive,
I'm
gonna
hesitate
to.
Let
me
know
I
guess
it
does
beg.
The
question
is
the
only
collaboration
that
I
know
about
the
Hub
and
I
know
about
the
program
that
you
operate
out
at
Temple.
Is
there
any
partnership
with
collaboration
with
the
city
of
Philadelphia
program
office,
of
violence,
prevention
in
general,.
H
Yeah,
we
welcome
any
opportunity
to
certainly
collaborate
and
work
with
anyone
who
is
interested
in
collaboration.
You
know
that
you
know
we
have
tried
to
to
reach
out
to
a
number
of
entities
and
organizations,
including
law
enforcement,
to
to
work
collectively
with
us,
because
we
know
that
that's
what
we'll
need
in
order
to
to
really
move
the
needle.
A
All
right
well,
thank
you
for
taking
time
out
of
your
schedule,
giving
testimony
and
I'll
also
follow
what
you're
online
as
well
keep
up
the
good
work.
I
get
the
emails
regarding
the
hubs
every
week,
so
they're
very,
very
helpful
to
me
to
stay
in
tune
with,
what's
going
on
across
the
city,
tipping
weight
and
my
staff
also
participating
in
a
couple
of
them
as
well.
So
keep
up
the
good
work
it's
about
bringing
people
together
so
anyway,
I
can
be
supportive.
Let
me
know.

S
S
S
Will
my
my
testimony
will
concentrate
on
General
objectives
and
not
specific
programs
as
one
who
has
lived
in
Philadelphia
since
I
was
a
toddler
I
feel
frustrated
by
the
eagerness
of
many
parents
to
move
out
of
the
city
due
to
safety
concerns
is
one
required
by
law
to
make
decisions
on
custody
in
the
best
interests
of
the
children.
I
find
myself
all
too
often
sending
children
out
of
Philadelphia.
S
S
First,
we
cannot
write
off
the
many
philadelphians
with
criminal
experience.
These
citizens
can
restructure
their
lives
as
they
often
do
when
they
have
children,
jobs
therapy
and
getting
severe
reductions
in
marijuana,
alcohol
and
hard
drug
use
for
helpful
factors
concerning
people's
lives.
Around
I
have
had
the
privilege
of
hearing
countless
success
stories
of
former
criminals.
S
S
S
Teenagers
should
be
strongly
discouraged
from
using
guns
talking
about
using
guns
or
accepting
violence
as
a
means
of
solving
problems.
Kids
should
be
taught
in
schools,
recreation,
centers
and
other
pro
programs
to
calmly
talk
out
problems
rather
than
escalate
them
by
violence.
So
should
parents
for
deterrence
of
criminal
objective
of
criminal
activities
has
to
be
an
objective
on
the
positive
side
children
should
know
they
have
a
choice
between
a
law,
boy,
abiding
life
and
a
life
of
gunfire
early
death
and
imprisonment.
S
Children
should
learn
the
severity
of
prison,
lockups
and
the
benefits
of
jobs
producing
legitimate
income.
Students
should
have
ready
negative
answers
to
appeals
of
drug
dealers
to
run
errands
for
them
and
work
their
way
up.
The
drug
dealing
ranks
fifth
Community
College
of
Philadelphia
must
be
a
more
active
partner
in
inspiring
kids
to
the
Future.
All
too
few
know
and
moderate
income
students
and
their
parents
see
colleges
of
a
viable
option.
S
S
This
shows
how
important
reducing
drug
crimes
can
be.
I
would
hope
that
this
effort
on
reducing
drug
crimes
would
continue
if
we
do
a
great
deal
to
reduce
our
murder
problem.
Seventh
is
part
of
recruitment
experts
as
I'm.
Sorry
as
as
part
of
recruitment
efforts,
I
would
urge
a
reevaluation
of
the
police
screening
process.
S
S
The
the
housemates
of
felons
should
not
be
disqualified.
I
I
could
go
on
and
on,
as
could
you,
this
is
a
serious
challenge
facing
Philadelphia.
Perhaps
the
most
serious
challenge
facing
Philadelphia
I
wish
you
godspeed
and
good
luck
in
continued
effort
in
dealing
with
these
serious
problems
that
we
face.
Thank
you
very
much.

This
concludes
a
special
committee
on
gumballs
want
to
thank
all
my
panelists
for
taking
time
out
of
your
schedule
and
participating
in
this
very,
very
critically
important
hearing.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
want
to
thank
all
my

I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
give
a
shout
out
to
councilman
Sharon
Vaughn
for
sticking
and
sticking
and
staying
throughout
this
hearing.
This
is
the
number
one
issue
that
we're
addressing
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
so.
