        - Safe Routes to Schools
        - Operation Cease Fire
        - Summer Strategy
        - Operations Safe Passage

Chief Godbee

Four key programs to support overall strategy. 

        - Identified key routes and hot spots with students, school leaders, and neighborhood leaders.
        - Partnered with volunteer-driven community patrols.

Safe Routes to Schools
        - Identified key routes and hot spots with students, school leaders, and neighborhood leaders.
        - Partnered with volunteer-driven community patrols.

        - Data as of 10/20 shows significant reduction in      incidents in patrolled areas among youth 16-21 between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm.

Chief Godbee

Our safe routes strategy started with community meeting meetings with students, school leaders, and neighborhood leaders where we identified routes that students take to school and hot spots in the community.  We’ve worked with the partners to modify the areas they patrol and adjusted the timing based upon guidance from the school community and the data.  

At the same time, we have had dedicated volunteers, almost all men, who patrol the streets in an around the schools, to ensure our students our safe.  For example, Brothers on Patrol have been on the streets doing this work since 1992.

We have already seen a shift in the incidents and are now working to adjust our patrolling strategies.

Operation CeaseFire
        - Building upon current call in efforts by US Attorney’s Office and work of community organizers.
        - Formed a planning committee representing stakeholder groups, to include: youth, clergy, service providers, and law enforcement.
        - Worked with Department of Justice to identify technical assistance provider.
        - Revisiting crime data and hot-spot analysis to appropriately identify pilot area. 
        - Targeting a soft launch in January.

Chief Godbee
