Project Safe Neighborhoods Community Engagement & Media Outreach
SUMMARY REPORT SEPTEMBER 2003
Our PSN Steering Committee has expanded and now consists of approximately 15 individuals from
the fields of education, law enforcement, health, local government, the faith community, gun violence
research,local transit authorities,and other fields who participate regularly at scheduled meetings.
CO-MMU—NM D&C T -K& PSNUNFORNUT1N DI SS M1NAJ6.IO
The Corridor has made great strides in community education relevant to Project Safe Neighborhoods.
We have disseminated PSN program information to approximately 400 residents in the project's
targeted area. Dissemination has been accomplished:
Electronically by Email
Mailings
Handouts at Meetings
Handouts at Events
Handouts at Church
Much of our work has been focused in the City of Richmond. Richmond attracted national attention
this summer when a 16 year-old honor student and her cousin were murdered in Richmond's Iron
Triangle neighborhood. The young gunman also shot a third young woman who attempted to flee,
standing over her and continuing to fire the gun into her face after she fell due to her gunshot injuries.
CHTNfOND COM-8-11MNfTVS ` RODJ'�C` ON TO PSN,-,
The community became fed up with the gun violence being perpetrated in their neighborhoods.
Corridor staff'met with a Richmond Ministerial Alliance group comprised of 13 Pastors in the City of
Richmond on the evening of Thursday, June 26th, 2003. The leader of the group was also the
President of the Richmond Improvement Association and President of the Iron Triangle Neighborhood
Council.
The pastors at the meeting had galvanized around the issue of gun violence in Richmond. They
developed an agenda to increase the community's capacity to reverse escalating crime and violence.
They were anxious to immediately begin wort: with their congregations, community residents, the
schools, and the Corridor to prevent and reduce the gun violence in Richmond that is annihilating
young people in the community.
The Corridor partnered with the groups and scheduled our first PSN Community Introductory Meeting
for July= 17, 2003 at the Nevin Community Center in the Iron Triangle neighborhood. Over 60 Iron
Triangle and Southwest neighborhood residents participated in the meeting. They identified the
following community organizations to participate in focus groups:
Social Progress Inc. (Contact Person: Eleanor Thompson)
Contra Costa Ministerial Alliance(Contact Person: Pastor Jim Header)
1M Youth Services (Contact Person: Robert Thornton)
IM Doctor's Hospital

SUMMARY DEPORT SEPTEMBER 2003
fD The Probation Department
Because the Corridor believes that the best messages may require the input of ex-offenders and
community re-entry participants, the Corridor may also explore conducting focus groups at two Contra
Costa County Juvenile Probation sites:
SI.M-Ni fff CENTER
Under the supervision of program director Michaela Mougenkoff, Summit Center is a collaborative
effort by Probation, Mental Health and The County Office of Education to provide residential
treatment for boys placed there by the Juvenile Court. The center provides individual, group and
family counseling along with substance abuse treatment and education to at risk children between 13
and 17 years of age.
ORIS ADAMS CENTER
The Chris Adams Center, also located on the juvenile hall grounds, is a collaborative between
Probation, Mental Health, The County Office of Education and the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF)
to provide residential treatment to at risk girls. Under the supervision of Jan Cobaleda-Kegler children
between 13 and 17 years of age receive individual, group and family counseling along with substance
abuse education and treatment_ A unique feature of the Chris Adams Center is their collaboration with
ARF. Kennels are currently under construction to provide shelter for kittens and puppies abandoned in
the County. The residents of the Chris Adams Center, with the guidance of ARF staff, will care for
these animals and prepare them for adoption.
The Corridor also manned an information table at the Iron Triangle Community picnic on July 19,
2003 and distributed PSN and other Corridor violence prevention information at that event.

Two information dissemination tools were developed by Corridor staff for use at PSN meetings and
presentations.
Y.. The Corridor's PSN Briefing Paper was developed on ?'november 13 , 2002 to provide
information at PSN meetings about Project Safe Neighborhoods, its goals, methods, strategies,
and possible stakeholders. The handout explains both the national initiative and the Northern
California effort for which the Corridor Partnership is responsible. The document is still being
utilized as our standard handout at PSN Meetings to introduce the program to those unfamiliar
with PSN. We also email the document as an advance briefing to potential partners and
stakeholders. Our PSN Briefing Paper was revised in June 2003 to update the timeline.
2. In April, we developed a PSN PowerPoint Presentation that is utilized to introduce potential
partners and community stakeholders to Project Safe Neighborhoods. The presentation was
initially utilized to familiarize the Steering Committee with the PSN initiative, and to explain
the role of the PSN Steering Committee. We currently have two versions of the PSN
PowerPoint Presentation, one that describes the role of the PSN Steering Committee and one
that describes the role of Community Stakeholders.
Our original timeline did not allow adequate time for community education. Any program's mission,
goals, methods, and strategies must be fully understood before the program can be executed and
implemented. After development of the proper tools to educate our PSN Steering Committee and our
PSNH` Community Stakeholders, we were able to re-create a more realistic timeline. Both the original
timeline and the updated timeline are shown below and on the next gage:
"The Mission of the Partnership is to promote a safer,healthier and more economically viable environment
in the Corridor Communities of the East Bay by reducing crime and violence_"

Project Safe Neighborhoods Community Engagement & Media Outreach
SUMMARY REPORT SEPTEMBER 2003
The Corridor has laid the foundation in Richmond for the development of powerful media messages
that will emanate during the neat phase of our PSN implementation,the Focus Groups. We are now in
step with our revised timeline. Our
CORRIMOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE HAVE BEEN
1, Establishing the PSN Steering Committee
. Developing the five page Briefing Paper
3. Developing the PowerPoint Presentation
4. Developing the Focus Group Questionnaire(Attachment 4)
5. Partnering with A.C. Transit
h, Partnering with BART
7. Disseminating PSN information to approximately 400 residents in the target area
8. Partnering with the Richmond Improvement Association
9. Facilitating our first PSN Community Introductory Meeting in Richmond
10. Identifying potential volunteer Facilitators to conduct Focus Groups in Richmond
11. Meeting with Brothers and Sisters in Christ(BASIC)
12. Securing data from our Police Departments (Attachment 5)
13.Progress towards getting RAND analysis completed
At our PSN staff training in Los Angeles, we learned that one of the most effective ways to market our
PSN messages was through bus wrappings. We discussed the idea with our PSN Steering Committee
and they encouraged us to involve Alameda/Contra Costa. Transit Authority (A.C. Transit), our local
bus line company, to be part of our PSN Steering Committee. We invited Jim Gleich (General
Manager of A.C. Transit) to the next meeting and he agreed to partner with the Corridor in our PSN
initiative by assisting us in marketing PSN gun violence deterrent messages with bus wrappings on bus
lines that are in the most violent areas within each of our three target cities. He may possibly be able
to also assist us with marketing messages on benches at bus stops as well.
Likewise, the Corridor invited a representative from our subway system, Bay Area Rapid Transit
(BART) District to participate on our. Steering Committee. BART Representative David Tucker
became part of our PSN Steering Committee and has agreed to assist the Corridor by doing what he
can to generate our messages electronically and on wall space at the BART stations.

SUMMARY REPORT SEPTE-mD-cR, 2003
Pastors that are part of the Richmond Improvement Association have agreed to participate as volunteer
facilitators when the Corridor schedules PSN Focus Groups to be held in Richmond
Brothers and Sisters in Christ (BASIC) is a Christian group, founded in the year 2000 to reach out to
the troubled youth of Richmond and to give them hope for a better life. Members of the group
attended our Richmond PSN Community Introductory Meeting on July 17"'. We agreed to meet with
them as an individual organization on July 25h. At that meeting, they agreed to volunteer as
facilitators for our upcoming focus groups in Richmond
BASIC may also present other opportunities for local youth. Basic offers:
t Television Broadcasts on BVENI Channel 26 every Wednesday at 7:00 pin—9:00., Youth

The Corridor agreed to partner with BASIC by training interested BASIC members to serve as
volunteer facilitators for our upcoming focus groups in Richmond.
The Richmond Police Department, through the efforts of Captain Johan Simon and Chief Joseph
Samuels, provided the Corridor with gun homicide data for Richmond. Corridor staff presented the
data graphically as part of our PSN Presentation at the Richmond PSN Community Introductory
Meeting on July 17'h, 2003.
The Corridor will use data provided by the Oakland Police Department-, through the efforts of Officer
Leroy Johnson and Deputy Chief Michael Holland, to render graphical representations for Oakland.
The data and graphical representations will be presented at an upcoming Oakland PSN Community
Introductory Meeting.
Our research partner RAND (contact person Jack Riley) developed the Homicide Coding Form that
will be used to gather and analyze homicide data for our three target cities, Richmond, Oakland, and

County Administrator
Contra Costa County
661 Pine Street, 11th Floor
Martinez CA 94553
Dear County Administrator John Sweeten:
For nearly tete years the East Bay Public Safety Corridor Partnership has beer; working with the cities and
school districts in Alameda County and Contra Costa County and providing leadership in violence prevention
and community safety.
The Partnership was born out of an explosive weekend in the summer of 1993 (homicide was the leading cause
of death for youth in the East Bay). Local government was faced with a stark realization: Violence knows no
municipal boundaries, and crime rates in one city affect the safety of another.
To respond to issues of public safety and violence prevention the first regional, multidisciplinary collaborative
of its kind was created. Three cities came together to forth what would become the East Bay Public Safety
Corridor Partnership. The Corridor Partnership quickly grew into the nation's largest violence prevention
collaborative: 16 cities, 10 unincorporated communities, 2 counties, and 16 school districts, and the East Bay
Community Foundation.
The Corridor used partner member dries to attract grants from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the
National Funding Collaborative on Violence Prevention. When the Corridor received the Comprehensive
Communities Program grant from DOJ, we were able to implement violence prevention services in Alameda
and Contra Costa counties that became a national model and was honored in Washington DC.
In the past year Partner Rues have:
Matched funding from the :National Funding Collaborative for the Domestic Virulence Linkages
initiative, a local study that mapped and analyzed the relationship between youth violence and family
violence.
✓ Conducted and analyzed findings froth. over 16 focus groups in Corridor cities on the relationship
between youth violence and family violence.
Matched funding to sponsor a regional Community Strategy Planning Session that included local
government, domestic violence service providers, the California Department of Justice, the faith
community, youth service providers, county programs, after school programs, and the health
community to create strategies for collaboration.
✓ Assisted in the development of a regional Corridor website to help members share strategies and lessons
learned in the development of Corridor activities.
"The Mission of the Partnership is to proinote a safer,healthier and more economically viable environment �
in the Corridor Communities of the Fast Hay by reducing crime and violence."

✓ Helped secure funding from Department of Justice. Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative. In
2002, the Partnership was selected by the US Department of Justice to facilitate the Community
Engagement&Media Outreach component of Project Safe Neighborhoods in Northern California. The
Corridor is working with law enforcement, city government schools, AC Transit BART; the faith
community, community members, the US Attorney's Office, youth, and local district attorneys to
develop a series of media messages to deter gun violence. In 2004 the local media campaign will be
launched in Corridor communities.
✓ In addition to receiving Project Safe Neighborhoods funding, we will receive intensive data analysis of
illegal gun use and gun trafficking in Corridor communities by the RAND Corporation. The results of
this analysis will be provided to local law enforcement and used as a tool to curb regional gun violence.
During the upcoming year we must respond to the new challenge of collaborating with reduced resources. On
October 17, 2003, the Partnership will hold a Public Safety Summit to discuss the impacts of State and local
budget reductions in programs affecting public safety. We.will identify areas in which we can improve regional
collaboration and leverage existing resources to mitigate these budget impacts.
We need your continued support to keep this unique national model of local communities working across
jurisdictional boundaries to address issues of crime and safeq,in our schools and in our neighborhoods. Your
membership dues are an important investment in that effort. Your agency's invoice for 2002- 2003 is attached.
Please make your check payable to our fiscal agent the East Bay Community Foundation and indicate on the

We look forward to your support and involvement as we work together to make the communities of the East
Bay safer.
