A portion of the funds would be passed through to a trusted community <br />partner to implement a violence interruption program for young people who are at-risk. <br />Another portion of the funds would be used to obtain technology that would detect <br />gunshots in the community. This technology would be used to increase the identification <br />of persons involved in gun violence and those around them to divert appropriate <br />individuals into the program described above. A research partner will be identified to <br />evaluate the effectiveness of the program and develop materials to potentially replicate <br />this project to other communities. <br />There will be no city funds required for this project beyond staff time. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Authorize city staff to apply for and if awarded authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary <br />documents and agreements with the US Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice <br />Assistance, regarding the application, acceptance, and utilization of the BJA FY 24 Field <br />Initiated: Encouraging Innovation Grant, in the amount of $1,000,000. <br /> <br /> <br />City Council Agenda Item Cover Sheet
