Summary/Notes: The Justice Advisory Council respectfully requests authority to negotiate and enter into an Interagency Agreement with Metropolitan Family Services to provide overnight/weekend street-level violence interruption and violence prevention services through the Communities Partnering for Peace (CP4P) framework in County areas experiencing high levels of community violence. This agreement will build upon previous efforts by public agencies, faith-based leaders, community organizations, private foundations, and law enforcement partners to implement rapid-reduction strategies involving acutely high-risk individuals and communities.
Services will be delivered by trained partners and will focus on known hot spot areas in the County, empowering individuals to maintain peace on hot spots. This project will be subject to regular reporting (programmatic and fiscal) and will focus on, and measure, reduction in the incidence of group-on-group violence and active engagement of rival group members.
These services would be delivered between 7/31/2020 - 7/30/2021.
