Over the next two years the Arizona PSN site will be implementing a focused deterrence project related to violent gangs. Lt. John White was assigned to this project after the project was submitted and has little background on the pulling levers theory or focused deterrence. After attending the PSN Partner Orientation Course here in Phoenix he was invited to both Fresno and Kansas City to meet with the officers and stakeholders involved in the project and observe a call in meeting to see not only how the meetings are ran, but logistics involved in setting a meeting up.

Over the last few years, Gary Police Department (GPD) has started to use data more and we now have a full time crime analyst. Currently our efforts have focused on data that shows historical trends, comparisons between timeframes, and documents previous months efforts. We would like to start using data more proactively, in real time, to make decisions about deployment and to help identify strategies and tactics that are customized to high-crime neighborhoods.

My police unit is part of a much larger collaborative effort called the Kansas City No Violence Alliance. Kansascitynova.org... We are currently working to implement a Byrne Grant project in a very violent corridor of our city's urban core. Four officers and myself will be working in this corridor with community based organizations to implement a focused deterrence policing strategy and to apply CPTED principles to a commercial corridor revitalization effort.

Our community has various issues with street gangs and motorcycle gangs as well as drug sales and use. We have very little funding available to provide training to educate law enforcement on these topics and many of the usual resources (NCTC, MAGLOCLEN) have reduced their training due to a reduction in funding.

In an effort to reduce crime and promote community safety the Camden County's Police Department (CCPD) wants to implement evidence-based reforms through successful strategies, programs, and policies while undergoing significant organizational changes to their agency. More specifically, CCPD is requesting an assessment of evidence-based strategies that may be feasible, applicable and practical to their organization and crime issues.
