The OFSVP is leading a statewide effort to coordinate evidence-based intervention and prevention strategies to <br />address community gun violence. Its work will target the highest risk populations of perpetrators and victims in <br />the highest risk communities. Attorney General Bob Ferguson is committed to reducing firearms fatalities and <br />injuries with a goal towards making our communities safer. The AGO has been involved in critical policy <br />discussions regarding firearms at the state and federal level. <br />The PSN Team regularly meets to assess which communities are most affected by community gun violence, <br />identifying critical gaps and needs within those communities. With this information, the PSN Team will then <br />identify a strategic outcome to address those needs. For FY2023, we hope to engage with a consultant to audit <br />one of these high-need communities, providing critical technical assistance in deploying a strategy to reduce gun <br />violence in the area. <br />The PSN Team will set the goals needed to reach that outcome, with measurable indicators demonstrating <br />progress in achieving those goals. From there, the Team will identify the strategies needed to achieve the goals, <br />forming smaller Selection Team(s) to identify the subaward recipients within our district’s communities best <br />positioned to implement the identified strategies, as well as subcommittees dedicated to tracking and partnering <br />with existing local initiatives that complement our district’s goals. <br /> <br />Page: 2 of 23
