Crime and violence data; health, social and economic indicators; and community -police relations support this. However, there are significant gaps in our understanding of violence in Bakersfield, and the proposed project begins with a significant new investment in data -driven program design and management (Section 2, Step 2). Violence and crime in Bakersfield suggest a serious, chronic challenge.. Gun violence (as measured by homicides and non-fatal injury shootings) is a serious, long- term problem in Bakersfield, with rates about double those of the state and nation overall. In addition, over the past five years, homicides have risen about 20 percent, to an average of 32 per year. In many neighborhoods, a homicide or non-fatal injury shooting takes place almost every day — and has a significant negative impact on community health and wellbeing. Based on homicide records from 2014 to 2019, the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) estimates that groups (gangs, crews, sets, etc.) play a major role in violence. However, there is a need to increase the city's and the department's understanding of the conditions and risks associated with violence. Health, social service and economic indicators suggest major gaps and barriers to services and opportunity. In general, health, social service and economic indicators are extremely poor in the area. Kern County, for example, ranks in the bottom quintile of California counties on social and economic factors. A quarter of the children in the area grow up poor, and that touches all facets of a child's life. Children living in poverty have limited access to quality health care, education and childcare, and they are more likely to live in dangerous neighborhoods and have frequent exposure to violence and crime, which triggers chronic stress and anxiety. Brandeis University recently issued a study placing Bakersfield at the bottom of all U.S. metropolitan areas in terms of child opportunity (Diversity Data Kids, 2020) (Arango, 2020). Proposal Narrative - Page 1 of 12 011� s� >- m F- r J � ORIGINAL Community -police relations are seriously strained. It has been widely reported that community -police relations in Bakersfield are strained and there is significant data that supports that assertion (Queally, 2017). (Notably, however, current city leaders — the mayor, city administrator and police chief — are united in their commitment -to addressing this challenge.) Summary. In summary, the risk of violence; poor health, educational and economic indicators; and community -police tensions are major concerns in Bakersfield, but there are significant gaps in our understanding of how these intersect and contribute to violence. Research suggests that achieving sustained community -wide reductions in violence requires a shift from addressing overall risk of crime and associated poor outcomes to a focus on individuals at the very highest risk of gun violence (Green, 2017). This evidence demonstrates that' (a) even within a generally high-risk population, risk of gun violence is highly concentrated among a small number of people and more closely related to the characteristics of individuals' social networks (groups and networks such as gangs) than to categorical risk factors (such as age, drug use, or living situation) and (b) that local violence plays out in ways that often counter conventional wisdom (Acevedo, 2018) (Green, 2017). Therefore, the proposed project makes a substantial initial investment in better understanding the dynamics of violence in Bakersfield, the needs of young people at very highest risk of involvement in that violence and what this information suggests about the design of effective interventions. :.: Projedt Description:.::: Bakersfield proposes to reduce violence citywide while also minimizing incarceration and promoting opportunity for young people at highest risk of violence — and do both while strengthening community -police relations, particularly with residents who are at disproportionately high risk of involvement in violence. To do so, it will build on an existing focused -deterrence initiative supported by the Bakersfield Safe Streets Partnership (BSSP). This evidence -based approach includes: (1) the analysis of serious violent incidents and trends to identify individuals at highest risk of violence; (2) respectfully communicating to those individuals the risks associated with violence; (3) offers of supportive relationships leading to safety and opportunity; and (4) procedurally- :�,0AKF9 Proposal Narrative - Page 2 of 12 `po ORIGINAL just enforcement efforts narrowly targeted only to those individuals who persist in violence (Braga, 2018) _(Engel, 2018). Specifically, the city proposes four steps to build a procedurally just violence reduction strategy..Flrst, build a partnership -focused project support and management team (fall of 2020). Second, work with key community stakeholders to build a comprehensive and detailed "shared understanding" of the problem, the opportunity and the solution (fall/winter 2020/2021). Third, build the analytic, operational and management capacities needed for successful implementation and pilot implementation for 3 to 6 months (winter/spring 2021). Fourth, based on this, build a two-year implementation plan, implement the plan and employ an assessment of the effectiveness and value of the effort (in partnership with a highly -regarded researcher) to shape a sustainable and resource -wise public safety initiative that (as noted above) reduces violence citywide while improving outcomes for young people at highest risk of violence and strengthening community -police relations. Three commitments are central to this process: first, to focus on improving outcomes for young people at greatest risk of violence; second, to institutionalize and sustain this effort beyond the grant period; and, third, to employ procedural justice, legitimacy, and trust -building as partnership values and design principles. Step 1. Build a'permanent city -funded, partnership -focused project support and management team (PMT) consisting of a project director, a program analyst and an administrative assistant, working with the support of a highly qualified technical assistance provider. The PMT will provide management and administrative support to a collaborative partnership – including residents at disproportionately high risk of involvement in violence – as they implement the core elements of the evidence -based strategy. The PMT ensures that work gets done but, at the same time, its role is facilitative, and a priority is to give voice to and support the efforts of key community stakeholders — particularly stakeholders who are disproportionately affected by violence. This support explicitly includes the development of meaningful roles in operations and oversight for these informal and formal community leaders. The PMT job descriptions, qualifications and training reflect the important role of collaboration and relevant life experience. Two additional functions of the PMT are: (a) intervention and $NK4�9 Proposal Narrative - Page 3 of 12 011 1s1 >- m F-- r v b ')RIGINAL case management "field supervision" skills and qualifications (for the cross -agency service team described below); and (b) technical support for the performance management and evaluation features of this effort, which are key to developing this evidence -based and resource -wise strategy in the face of a significant economic downturn. The PMT as constituted above, however, will engage deeply with BPD as they together forge a procedurally just and legitimate public safety strategy for the city. Step 2. Work with key community stakeholders to build a comprehensive and detailed "shared understanding" of the problem, the opportunity and the solution. This step ensures that the strategy is tailored to the need(s) and priorities of the target population and that the full range of local stakeholders — in particular residents who are disproportionately affected by violence or at highest risk of actual involvement in violence — have a voice in the initiative design and plan. This step includes: (1) an in- depth analysis of local violence (referred to as. a "problem analysis") that draws on the experience and insights of frontline practitioners, including outreach workers and police; (ii) a "needs assessment' undertaken by outreach workers that draws directly on the lived experience of young' people at very highest risk of violence; (iii:) a local cost -of - violence analysis that identifies the specific city expenditures generated by violence and provides concrete, specific estimates of the budget savings to Bakersfield generated by reducing violence; and (iv) a series of study visits that match local stakeholders (outreach teams, police, advocates and organizers, city officials, elected leadership, etc.) with their peers in other cities that have successfully wrestled with similar challenges. The three analyses above draw on the insights and experience of residents at disproportionately high risk of involvement in violence and knowledgeable field staff. This qualitative data is then blended with quantitative data and incorporated into a user- friendly report and a series of town -hall type meetings – both designed to establish a common understanding of local violence that informs the efforts of civic, community, public service and criminal justice partners as they collaborate to reduce violence. The problem analysis (PA) Is crucial for framing the challenge the city faces. It consists of a review of homicides (rather than all shootings) because cities collect their most o��PKF9T s Proposal Narrative - Page 4 of 12 m U ORIGINAL extensive and reliable data on homicides, and it focuses on: (a) the characteristics and circumstances of each incident; (b) the demographics and criminal justice system experience of the people involved; (c) groups and networks at high risk of involvement in violence, including their size, relationships, activities and turfs; and (d) the concentration of violence throughout the city. The analysis employs research methodologies but its main purpose is to support practice and local policymaking. Shooting reviews (SRs), described below, are weekly meetings that use analytic exercises to develop and manage violence reduction strategies in real time; they are crucial to the success of the effort. These tools (the PA and the SR) enable the city to direct its limited financial resources where they will be most effective in reducing violence; that is, they serve as cornerstones for project management. Step 3. Third, build the core capacities needed for successful implementation. This step involves four major capacities: analysis, communication, intervention, and life coaching/case management. There is an existing foundation for each of these capacities in Bakersfield so this phase of work consists of continued development and piloting over.the first six months of 2021. Analysis: Quickly and accurately, identify young people at greatest risk of violence. This work begins with incorporating shooting review "best practices" into BPD's existing reviews in order to support the strategy as described. Specifically, the SR will play a central role in (a) strategically aligning the efforts of enforcement and outreach partners and (b) serving'as the starting point for identifying young people at highest risk of involvement in violence, either as victims or suspects. In this sense, SRs anchor day-to-day management and implementation; they will engage and focus frontline practitioners in understanding and acting on violence as a city and community priority. SRs have three parts: (1) They begin with a review of every violent incident, mostly injury shootings, in the previous week, including the date, time, place and people involved. The facilitator then leads the group through a series of analytical questions about the circumstances of the shootings and the motives of the groups and individuals involved. This process helps identify individuals at imminent risk of being involved in �gAKF9 Proposal Narrative - Page 5 of 12 � m _ r U O ORIGINAL violence. (2) Next comes exploratory but purposeful planning of enforcement measures and related interventions that can quickly interrupt cycles of violence. The facilitators lead a group discussion that gradually produces the basic elements of a plan of action, which may include the continued development of the information needed to more fully understand the incident. (3) As the meetings draw to a close, a subgroup of managers focuses on aligning department resources with those groups, individuals and conflicts at highest risk of violence. Follow-up is rapid. A key objective is to share the output of the review — an accurate assessment of risk and the outlines of the emerging response plan — with community and outreach partners as soon as possible. Communication: Directly and respectfully, communicate an evidence -based anti- violence message (a "risk & opportunity message") to individuals at very highest risk of involvement in serious violence as per the. criteria identified in the problem analysis and the shooting reviews. This evidence -based messaging (Wood, 2017) takes place via small group meetings (call -ins) or, when time is of the essence, in meetings closer to a one-on-one between a credible messenger and a young person at imminent risk of involvement in violence (Wood 2017) (Lynch 2018). The Bakersfield partners will employ the principles of procedural justice as guidelines for gradually redesigning these meetings so that the process: (a) is experienced as fair, respectful and benevolent (Tyler, 2017); and (b) meets performance management criteria such as scale, focus and fidelity to the model. These changes will apply to the invitation process, setting, messaging and meeting follow-up components of the overall communication strategy. Intervention: Quickly and effectively, interrupt cycles of violence and retaliation by strategically engaging CBOs in reaching out to young people at very highest risk of violence. This activity is focused mostly on addressing the conflicts and tensions directly associated with violent incidents and retaliation. The process builds on the risk assessments and preliminary plans developed -in shooting reviews in three steps. First, the partners – employing strict confidentiality guidelines — develop a shared understanding of the groups and individuals most at risk of being involved in shootings. Again, working within confidentiality protocols, the partners will refine this assessment of risk, shaping an agenda that focuses their joint efforts on individuals at the very highest risk of violence. Second, interventionists and case managers identify short-term steps o``gAKF9� Proposal Narrative - Page 6 of 12 f r v o ORIGINAL designed to reduce the risk to these individuals. This exploratory but purposeful process draws on the expertise and experience of intervention staff to craft effective, individualized interventions. For example, the group may discuss the most effective strategy for connecting young men at risk to needed supports and services or the relocation of a potential victim. These steps are assembled into a fast-moving plan made up of clear and concise "deliverables" that: (a) mobilize a wide range of supports and services crucial to the well-being of those at most risk; and (b) connect young people at very highest risk of violence to an intervention worker that brings an intensive focus to safety planning and relationship -building. Life coaching/case management: Ensure high-quality intensive case management through small caseloads, evidence -based practice and a tight focus on people at greatest risk of violence. This step couples case management best practice — credible messengers, small caseloads, multiple high-quality face-to-face contacts and an emphasis on relationship -building -- (Lynch, 2018) with an evidence -based cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) (Baldwin, 2017)14 -session life skills curriculum. The curriculum focuses, successively, on: (1) making more informed and constructive decisions related to the risk of violence and incarceration and to longer-term goals such as education and employment; (2) developing a new sense of identity and purpose compatible with the young men's roles as valued community members; (3) understanding and overcoming trauma and pain; and (4) financial literacy as a foundation for self-sufficiency and personal efficacy (Sherraden, 2017, Duran, 2015). The curriculum draws on research showing the effectiveness of CBT and transformative mentoring; employs scenario -based exercises, guest speakers and group discussions; and is trauma -informed and culturally relevant (Muhammad, 2020). Support to frontline staff and quality implementation are ensured by three means: (1) Case reviews, which are supervision -oriented and monitor factors such as the frequency and intensity of support, the caseload risk -profile (is the focus on the very highest risk?) and overall reduction of violence -related risk factors. (2) Case conferencing meetings, which feature a blend of problem -solving, group learning and training in the skills essential to intervention and life coaching; as both supervision and group learning exercises, these meetings are rooted in CBT as it is incorporated into the I<gNK,69 Proposal Narrative - Page 7 of 12 `rte � m r U ORIGINAL life skills curriculum described in the following section (Muhammad 2020, Baldwin 2017); and (3) a performance management dashboard (described in Section 4) that maps where clients are in terms of outcomes such as housing, finances, employment and family life and uses that information to strengthen staff and program performance. Step 4. Organize these efforts into a well-developed implementation plan that moves from initial capacity -building ( first 3 to 6 months) to piloting (next 4 to 6 months) and full implementation (months 10 to 33) — within a framework of institutionalizing and sustaining this work (as, for example, the Stockton has done with its Office of Violence Prevention). Full implementation is guided by an action plan that would include the following: (1) the goals and objectives for the implementation period; (2) a brief and clear statement of the problem and the strategy for addressing that problem; (3) strategy specifics — for example, the number of very highest risk people the partners need to communicate with via call -ins and custom notifications, the number of individuals at greatest risk that the partners seek to meaningfully engage in services, how the partners respond to groups and individuals that persist in violence, etc.; (4) specifically, what each partner commits to do to reach these objectives; and (5) how the partners are organizing these commitments into their working calendar. The team then employs the management processes and tools described below to implement the plan in a systematic and consistent manner. izationaL.C.a alit ..,and Coor Inatlon; g. p..... Y. Experience, current staffing, and partnerships the lead agency will use to implement the proposed strategy. The proposed project will be implemented within the framework of Bakersfiield's Safe Streets Partnership (BSSP). Now almost 9 years old, BSSP includes community members, clergy and faith -based organizations, public and private service providers, community organizers and activists, and criminal justice agencies. The overarching goal of the partnership is to reduce group -related violence and provide supports and services to young people at high risk of being involved in such violence. BSSP has (a) extensive experience implementing the group violence reduction strategy and (b) embraced evidence -based interventions that are the focus of this proposal. In addition, the lead agencies in this proposal (Wendale Davis �9 Proposal Narrative - Page 8 of 12 U ORIGII Foundation, Compassion Christian Center and Stay Focused Ministries) are longtime partners, as is Garden Pathways, which is submitting a complementary CaIVIP proposal. And city leaders — the mayor, city manager, and the police department's executive team — are aligned in supporting this diverse partnership as the vehicle for addressing violence. The proposed project is a major step in the continuing development and institutionalization of Bakersfield's procedurally just violence reduction partnership. The project enhances the coordination of existing violence prevention and intervention programs and minimizes the duplication of services in several ways. First, the project employs an inclusive partnership -based approach to management through the weekly shooting reviews, coordination meetings, group strategy sessions, and performance reviews. Collectively, these meetings create opportunities for the full range of stakeholders (for example, frontline outreach workers and other frontline staff, community leaders, and people directly affected by violence) to have a voice and active role in day-to-day operations as well as in planning and oversight. Second, the project makes a significant Investment in using quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis to direct resources where they will be most effective in reducing violence; that is, to coordinate and align the efforts of the partners and stakeholders. The problem analysis, weekly shooting reviews, needs assessment, coordination meetings, and cost of violence study build on each other to collect, analyze and bring to bear data that is instrumental in maintaining the strategic focus of diverse partners (with differing perspectives and life experiences) on young people at highest risk of violence. Also, note that each of these tools and processes is designed to incorporate the perspectives of key partners (young people at highest risk -of violence, community members directly affected by violence, frontline practitioners, etc.). Third, the distinctive service approach of each partner is combined with the evidence - based common program core, which includes (but is not limited to) shared intervention protocols, participation in the Healthy, Wealthy and Wise life skills curriculum (rooted in research on CBT), shared trainings (motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral training, etc.), and participation in case reviews (which promotes supervision around a common set of case management guidelines) and case �gAKF9 s Proposal Narrative - Page 9 of 12 m ~ r U Q? ORIGINAL conferencing (which promotes cross -agency case -focused problem solving and'staff skills acquisition). Note also that the common program core fits in a "community of support" that enables case managers and life coaches to tailor case plans to clients' interests and priorities. Finally, the partners embrace shared values and guiding principles that promote coordination and help bind them together for the long- term work needed to significantly reduce violence. The principles of procedural justice will be employed as design principles for shaping programs and interventions. The principles are straightforward: (1) treat people with dignity and respect; (2) give them "voice," a chance to tell their side of the story; (3) make decisions based on facts, not irrelevant factors such as race; and (4) act in a way that reassures people you're trying to do what's best for them. Researchers have found, repeatedly and across different ethnic groups and communities, that criminal justice agencies that consistently practice procedural justice build the support, cooperation and trust of community partners (Tyler, 2017). The project makes a significant stepwise investment in developing the voice and role of young people at highest risk of violence in program operations and oversight. This begins with the participatory needs assessment, which will be designed and carried out by high-risk youth and young adults; moves to the regular use of focus groups and listening sessions with young people at highest risk of violence,.the findings of which are incorporated into program design; and, finally, to the development of a leadership council. A goal is to foster (1) a formal body within the overall partnership that represents the perspectives and aspirations of young people at highest risk of violence (as a "leadership" voice); and (2) development of service and leadership positions for young people formerly at highest risk of violence that offer compensation, relevant skill development, and meaningful access to career paths and organizational leadership opportunities, especially those with an emphasis on improving the justice system. The California Partnership for Safe Communities (CPSC) — which has extensive experience successfully supporting similar violence -reduction efforts in California and nationally -- will be the lead technical assistance provider. CPSC is one of a handful of organizations that the National Network for Safe Communities — the community of �N Proposal Narrative - Page 10 of 12 ORI( practice for focused -deterrence strategies — identifies as capable of leading a focused - deterrence project from design to implementation. A recent evaluation by Northeastern University found that Oakland Ceasefire, for which CPSC was the lead technical assistance provider, significantly reduced violence. CPSC's leadership has extensive relevant and successful experience — and developed trust -building strategies in multiple California cities and was central to California DOJ's Principled Policing Initiative. Project:.Eva.I.uation..and;M,pnitoring >.... The BSSP monitoring and evaluation plan has three parts, each designed to enable the city to assess progress toward measurably reducing violence citywide while minimizing incarceration and promoting opportunity for young people at highest risk of violence. Monitor and respond to violent incidents and conflicts through a partnership - based management cycle. This process is anchored by the shooting reviews described above and helps a diverse partnership maintain an intensive focus on violence. This makes sense because a dangerous violent incident takes place several times each week and rapidly spurs retaliatory shootings and other violence; research demonstrates that most retaliatory shootings take place in the weeks immediately following a violent incident and tend to "cascade," quickly involving more potential victims and shooters (Green, 2017). The partnership -based cycle builds in mutual accountability and transparency through the use of deliverables captured in meeting notes (who does what and when) that are shared with each working partner. Develop performance reviews as a vehicle for partners and stakeholders to hold themselves accountable for quality implementation and results. The city will employ performance management reviews. At these reviews, a dozen or more community leaders and department heads will join project leads to hold themselves accountable for quality implementation and fidelity to the values guiding their work, including the principles of procedural justice (Lawrence 2019). Performance reviews have a three-part agenda: First, partners assess progress toward the violence -reduction goals they established at the outset of their joint efforts. Second, they evaluate the quality of implementation based on indicators drawn from the communication, outreach and support, and enforcement operational components. For each component, indicators Proposal Narrative - Page 11 of 12 r U C ORIGINAL are linked to focus ("Are we sustaining our focus on the small proportion of individuals actually driving violence?"), scale ("Are we working at a scale that promises citywide results?"), and fidelity to the model ("Are we carrying out this activity in a way that is consistent with evaluation findings on effectiveness?"). The data on outcome and activity indicators (objectives) will be assembled into a single worksheet that quickly conveys information to community leaders, frontline staff and busy department heads. The third element of performance reviews is a running conversation about measures needed to strengthen implementation, including reallocating funding, modifying program modifications, and resetting priorities. The meetings end with a summary of these commitments that is quickly incorporated into agency and staff work plans. Complete a rigorous evaluation tailored to institutionalization and sustainability. This report, to be completed by CPSC in partnership with a nationally recognized evaluation team from Northeastern University's Center for Crime and Community Resilience, will employ the methodological rigor of a formal evaluation, but the reporting format and process will also be designed to engage and inform city and community stakeholders as they plan for continuing program investment. Drawing on baseline data from the Problem and Opportunity Analysis, process and impact analyses, the final report will respond to questions central to local policymaking. What is the problem we face as a city and community? What is the human and economic impact of the problem? What should be done about it? What did our measures of effectiveness tell us about the progress we made on the problem? The report will describe the strategy as implemented, share what was learned about the quality of implementation, and review relevant outcomes. For example, are we safer as a community? Did young people at highest risk of violence have better outcomes? Did we successfully honor our commitment to community -police trust -building? That is, CPSC and NU will assess the cost, effectiveness and value of this approach as an integral component of the city's overall public safety strategy with an eye to pressing issues of police legitimacy and reform. ,gAKt9 Proposal Narrative - Page 12 of 12 0 � m r v o ORIGINAL BIBLIOGRAPHY 1.

First, collectively, the team possesses the project management, analytic and administrative functions needed to support this fairly complex evidence- and partnership -based initiative. In addition to overall projoect management, this team will support the intervention and case management and the communication (call -ins and customn notification) operational components. Second, as match, these positions (permanent and fully -funded) demonstrate the City's commitment to quality implementation and sustainability. MATCH: BAKERSFIELD PD: The full-time lieutenant and department executive leadership position at the police department demonstrate PD's commitment to quality implementation (the Lt. position is that of a project manager) but, importantly, also to the procedural justice and legitimacy elements of the proposed strategy. These commitments serve as the foundation for positioning evidence- and partnership -based violence reduction in a way that reduces the city's reliance on over -incarceration and promotes community -police trustbuilding. Along with the TA provider (the California Partnership for Safe Communities), these positions make up the full project management team for the effort -- that is, they work together in support of a broad city/community collaborative.

Professional Services� Narrative NOTES ON REQUESTED GRANT FUNDING. CPSC assumes several major roles in supporting the successful implementation of the initiative as well and the forward looking assessment and plan for institutionalizing and sustaining the effort. These functions/roles include: (1) acting in partnership with city and BPD staff to "project manage"— that is, to get and keep the effort moving quickly while ensuring quality implementation; (2) conducting the client needs assessment and cost of violence analysis and integrating these findings into the more comprehensive problem and opportunity analysis in partnership with the evaluation team and, linked to this, building a common understanding of the approach across the diverse partners (community leadership, people at high risk of involvement in violence, the police department, etc); (3) the major and intensive work involved in strengthening and/or building the four core operational capacities; (4) working with the local partners to improve community -police relations; and (5) as noted in the narrative, to lay the plans for institutionalizing and sustaining the initiative. CPSC's executive director will be the lead on this project but will collaborate with senior staff and consultants — that is, support for the initiative will draw on CPSC's full staff and partnering consultants. A full contract and scope of work will be prepared as the project begins but the amounts allotted to each activity in the budget reflect early planning effortsand emphases. The specific iteams above are not separate contracts and the amounts may vary but they indicate the likely time and resources allocated to each area of work. 4a.

Each of these CBO's has the same basic budget template and figures. There are three primary categories of funding for each — the goal being to build robust intervention capacity at each of these agencies: (1) a full-time community intervention worker (blend of intervention and case management and a part-time community leader acting in an intervention role, with the compensation for both driven by the need to pay a living wage in order to reduce turnover as a part of building the credibility of community service providers, partly through maximizing the investment in professional development. (2) a client -focused program budget; and (3) the funding need to support management and data accountability. In addition, there is a small training budget for each organization. Significant elements of the training and technical assistance component are budgeted under travel elow and professional services above.

Project Evaluation. Narrative: The evaluation — to be conducted by a nationally -recognized evaluation team (at the Center for Crime and Community Resiience there) -- will have three components. The first is a strategic analysis of Bakersfield's gun violence problem to ensure that its Ceasefire intervention is appropriately focused on the risky people and risky places that generate a bulk of gun violence in the city. CPSC will blend these findings with its analysis of client needs and the local cost of violence analysis. The second, component will be a process evaluation, which will (among other things) employ focus groups and individual interviews with program implementers to document key program activities, successes, and challenges. Existing official records will be accessed and analyzed to document relevant program activities such as enforcement actions taken, call -ins held, and social services delivered. Third, is an impact evaluation that will involve varying evaluation approaches to triangulate the effort's effects on violence. The evaluation team will use a cross -city quasi -experimental design to compare violence trends in Bakersfield to gun homicide trends in comparison California cities. '7a.
