The Flint, Michigan Police Department (PD), as part of the Flint Violence Reduction Network (VRN) site, requested an assessment of the city's gang violence issues. Dr. Charles Katz and Dr. Andrew Fox were selected as the providers for this engagement and conducted a preliminary study to determine if a comprehensive gang assessment is necessary and viable. On February 2 - 3, 2017, Dr. Katz and Dr. Fox conducted a site visit to Flint, which involved interviewing available stakeholders, including representatives from VRN stakeholder agencies, assessing their analytical needs, conducting a data inventory, and assessing current strengths and challenges of conducting a comprehensive gang assessment. Dr. Katz delivered a feasibility report to Flint PD in February 2017, and concluded that a comprehensive gang assessment was feasible.
