3.2 TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
A. SERVICE AREA
The program Walk About Yakima(WAY) is based in Yakima, Washington. The City of
Yakima, located in South Central Washington, is the 11th largest city in the state. with 94,400
residents.t It is the largest city in South Central Washington and Yakima County, its economy is
based on significant agricultural productivity, and it is a service industry hub for the surrounding
area. The agricultural industry has depended on having a below-poverty standard wage to harvest
crops. Apples and other tree fruit, dairy, hops, and vegetables are the primary agricultural
products of the county. The population in the county is 49.4% Latino, 43%non-Latino
Caucasian, 5.5% African American, Native American and Asian and Pacific Islander, and 2.1%
of two or more races.2
The city is ranked 15th in per household income of the top 15 cities in Washington state.3
Seventy-two percent of Yakima School District students qualify for free and reduced meals. The
Yakima School District is 78% Latino, 17.3% White, 2.5%two or more races, American Indian
0.9%, African American, 0.8% and Asian and Pacific Islander 0.5%.4
In a recent group audit commissioned by Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN)for the Eastern
District of Washington, the Eastern District of Washington was ranked 3rd in the U.S.
Probation's Risk Index of all US Attorney Office regions in the United States. Within that
district, the PSN has chosen to focus its efforts solely on Yakima County due to the high rate of
gangs and gang violence here.

Yakima County has the third highest level of gang activity even though it is only the 8th most
populous county in the state. This level is the highest of all counties in the Eastern District of
Washington.s In the PSN group assessment, it was noted that there are 26 street gangs in
Yakima, with an estimated 1,300 members and associates. That is a rate of 1.4% of the city's
population. Of the 27 gangs present in Yakima County, 93% are rated as either extremely or
somewhat violent. and 89% are rated as highly or somewhat organized.
The City of Yakima's 2019 firearm crime rate per 1000 was 3.22. The firearm crime rate was
based on a review of calls for service and was calculated by incidents reported and not by victim
count. Incidents counted were firearms related cases reported with the offense codes of weapons
incident, robbery with a firearm, robbery firearm residential, robbery firearm gas station, robbery
firearm street, robbery firearm business, robbery firearm miscellaneous, assault with a firearm,
felon in possession of a firearm, homicide, concealed weapons offense, and shots fired and
assault. According to a review of household poverty and nonfatal violent victimization, 2008-
2012, persons in poor households had a higher rate of violence involving a firearm (3.5 per
1,000) compared to persons above the federal poverty level (0.8-2.5 per 1,000).7
The Yakima County Gang Assessment was initiated by the Yakima County Gang Commission
and followed the protocol outlined by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
Comprehensive Gang Model. Additional data was included from Yakima County Local
Indicators for Excellence (YC-LIFE) Yakima County Annual Report.
B. APPROACHIMETHODOLOGY
The Yakima Police Department's (YPD)focused deterrence program has identified individuals
at high risk of perpetuating gun/gang violence within our community. To reduce violent crime,

the YPD program will partner with Walk About Yakima(WAY)to provide services in an
attempt to deter and prevent gun/gang violence. The YPD utilizes an evidenced-based risk
assessment that mathematically identifies those at the highest risk of committing violence and
gun crimes in the city. The assessment is based on established criminological risk factors
strongly predictive of future violent and gun-related crime, and the scoring process was designed
to assist law enforcement to quickly and effectively identify those high-risk individuals.
Together with 3 Yakima Police Department(YPD) Gang Unit officers and the YPD Spillman
data analyst, the WAY team includes a services coordinator, a systems coordinator, a supervisor
and 3 credible messengers/mentors led by the Union Gospel Mission Madison House Youth
Center.
Contractors will include program advisors from the University of Washington Department of
Psychiatry and Behavioral Health, as well as Community Passageways of South King County,
which will train and advise the WAY team in the implementation of evidence-based practices.
Community Passageways has successfully implemented a similar program for several years.
The WAY team will initiate custom notification meetings that are consistent with the
Department of Justice and Project Safe Neighborhoods Eastern District of Washington Strategic
Action Plan. Custom notification is a standard method in which individualized, focused
deterrence messages are delivered to previously identified group members. Using custom
notification meetings, potential participants identified by the YPD's Spillman data analyst will
be invited to opt in to the program.
Evidence-based interventions will be taught and coached by the University of Washington
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health for the 12-month period of the grant, and they
will include treatment model orientation and implementation of dialectical behavioral therapy,
multisystemic therapy, feelings regulation, and relapse prevention. The university's psychiatry
and behavioral health department has determined that interventions will be best received if
implemented by credible messengers/mentors rather than by traditional mental health providers.
Credible messengers/mentors will use the following key messages for all participants:
3
9
A. The city law enforcement and the community has come together to do all it can to
keep young men and women like you alive and out of prison.
B. There is nothing good or justified about a shooting or a killing. Your community and
that includes police and prosecutors and community leaders believes that it must
respond in every way possible to stop future violence.
C. We are here to offer you a choice. If you choose to continue to participate in criminal
behavior, we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law, and we have cooperation
agreements with county, state, and federal prosecutors.
Credible messengers/mentors will also provide wrap-around services. Six-month service periods
will be staggered, based upon when a participant enters the program. Program services will be
customized to each program participant to meet their specific needs and goals, including shelter,
transportation, food, employment, education, childcare, relocation, clothing, mental health or
addiction treatment, and assistance accessing identification documents.
C. WORK PLAN
Walk About Yakima(WAY) is the culmination of a multi-year initiative to engage local and
federal law enforcement, prosecuting authorities, and community partners to sustainably reduce
gun and gang violence in Yakima County using a multi-component strategy. Using data-
informed, nationally tested practices and proven interventions, WAY seeks to launch a multi-
pronged intervention model. We will identify those most at risk of perpetrating gun violence
using timely and accurate data, then provide them with alternatives to continued violence,
including wrap-around services customized to each individual and evidence-based interventions.
PROJECT SITE
4
10
The project site is in the City of Yakima. In 2019, 9 fatal and 39 non-fatal shootings occurred in
the City of Yakima$. The City of Yakima's shots-fired rate for 2019 exceeds those of Tacoma,
Lakewood, and Seattle9. The WAY program will be held at the Dispute Resolution Center
(DRC) and at the Union Gospel Mission Madison House Youth Center, each located in 2 of the 4
districts of the city with the most shots-fired incidents10 in 2019. These central community
organizations serving as partners in this program are housed in the areas of greatest need.
COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS
The DRC will serve as the backbone organization for coordinating community services. The
DRC facilitates the Gang Reduction Initiative Taskforce (GRIT), the outcome of the 2011 Gang
Free Initiative implemented by the City of Yakima. GRIT is a community initiative to reduce
community violence by (1) convening a steering committee of key stakeholders; (2)bringing
together service providers and concerned community residents into a group titled The Village to
share resources, make connections, and look at service gaps; and (3) leading a pilot program, the
Yakima Youth Leadership program to provide at-risk 6th graders in 4 middle schools in the
Yakima School District with effective mentoring that will direct them away from gang
involvement. As the facilitator of GRIT, the DRC will collaborate with community organizations
and community leaders in providing wrap-around services to program participants. Key
personnel for the WAY team have been identified from Madison House and the LOVE Project
Yakima, community organizations that are serving those identified as at risk for perpetrating gun
violence and gang involvement.
USING DATA TO SELECT INDIVIDUALS MOST AT RISK FOR PERPETUATING
GUN VIOLENCE
WAY is a collaboration that includes local and federal law enforcement agencies, local and
federal prosecuting authorities, and community organizations. WAY is committed to making

data-informed decisions. Consistent with this priority, the Yakima Police Department Spillman
data analyst will serve as part of the core WAY team.
The Spillman data analyst's time and participation is a program match provided by the Yakima
Police Department. The analyst will identify individuals by using the Spillman record
management system. The data collected form the Spillman analyst, using the Spillman Records
Management System, will identify individuals most at risk for perpetuating gun violence and
thus be included as program participants for custom notification (Tier 1) and voluntary inclusion
(Tier 2).
CONNECTING INDIVIDUALS SELECTED FOR INTERVENTION WITH SERVICES
LIKELY TO REDUCE RISK
Custom notification meetings: All individuals who are identified as high risk, and are available
in the region, will be provided custom notification meetings. We anticipate providing custom
notification meetings to 40-45 individuals identified by the YPD Spillman data analyst as high
risk for perpetrating gun violence. Custom notification has been effective nation-wide in
reducing gun violence. In urban areas such as Cincinnati, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois, custom
notification meetings with identified offenders have significantly reduced violent crime". While
Cincinnati saw a reduction in gang-involved homicides of 42% and a reduction of firearm-
related offenses of 22% after implementing custom notification practices, Chicago saw a 37%
reduction of homicides.
Juvenile court is a crucial partner on the WAY team. Juvenile court will arrange meetings with
youths identified as at risk for perpetrating gun violence; identification will occur during
detainment, at probation counseling meetings, or as part of a general probation plan. Since
Washington State Department of Corrections is a core partner in WAY, key contacts have been
identified within corrections to arrange meetings for adult participants during routine parole or
probation meetings. At custom notification meetings, it will be explained that gun/gang violence
will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and that law enforcement is prepared to

enforce all applicable laws for continued involvement in criminal activity. They will then be
offered the opportunity to participate in the Tier 2 program, where they will be provided
customized wrap-around services as an alternative to continued involvement in gun/gang
violence. Wrap-around services include but are not limited to emergency housing, education,job
placement and are further defined below. In this program, they will receive evidence-based
interventions for a duration of six months in addition to wrap-around services. Evidence-based
services are fully described below. Program participants will be invited to voluntarily opt in to
the program.
Opting in to full program services: Program participants who opt in to the intervention Tier 2
(voluntary) group will be assigned a mentor and receive evidence-based interventions developed
by the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health. Interventions
will be provided by their mentor, identified as a credible messenger/mentor, who has experience
living in similar circumstances and involvement with gang life. This type of mentor has more
credibility than traditional mental health service providers, according to the University of
Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health, who will provide training and
consulting throughout the program period. Program participants who opt in will further receive
customized wrap-around services, including shelter,transportation, food, employment
assistance/job training, education, childcare, relocation, clothing, mental health or addiction
treatment, and assistance accessing identification documents. Further, we will collaborate with
the South King County Community Passageways program, which has successfully demonstrated
intervention with similar populations.
LEVERAGING EXISTING RESOURCES
The WAY program will be launched by a partnership between the Yakima Police Department
(YPD) and the Dispute Resolution Center of Yakima and Kittitas Counties (DRC). The DRC
will leverage a grant from the Department of Children, Youth, and Families in the amount of
$340,000. While the enclosed proposal includes a budget for key personnel, the DCYF budget
will fund additional personnel described below in the program team description, program
services (described below), consulting costs from the University of Washington and Community
Passageways for training and coaching in delivery of evidence-based program interventions
(described below), and program costs. A further match is provided by the YPD in the form of
7
13
key team personnel, including the Spillman data analyst, three Officers on the Gang Unit, and
oversight by Chief of Police Matt Murray.
Further,the DRC will leverage the inclusion of the GRIT community, which includes local
elected leaders and community leaders, dozens of community providers, and the Yakima School
District.
WALK ABOUT YAKIMA TEAM
A. YPD Spillman data analyst. The data analyst will identify 40-45 youths and adults at
high risk of perpetrating gun violence within Yakima County based on prior
involvement/quality contact with law enforcement.
B. Gang Unit Officers. Three YPD officers in the Gang Unit will participate in the core
WAY team. They will participate in custom notification, explaining the focused
deterrence program to individuals receiving notification and that gun/gang violence will
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Each officer will carry a mandated
caseload of approximately 13 individuals. They will also participate in all mandated team
training provided by the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and
Behavioral Health and Community Passageways. They will further participate in weekly
team meetings that are reflective and responsive in serving program participants.
C. Credible messengers/mentors. Three credible messengers/mentors will be utilized; they
are individuals who have commonality with program participants, such as experience
with the criminal justice system and/or gang involvement. They have further proven
themselves as effective mentors with community-based organizations, serving the at-risk
population we seek to serve. Credible messengers/mentors, led by the Union Gospel
Mission Madison House, will participate in custom notification, explaining that we want
and need for program participants to stay alive and out of prison because we want them to
be in our community. Mentors will offer inclusion in the program, including wrap-
around services customized to the participants' needs and evidence-based interventions
for a period of six months. Mentors will each carry a caseload of approximately 13
8
14
individuals, mirroring the YPD officers' caseload. They will participate in all team
training provided by the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and
Behavioral Health and by Community Passageways. They will further participate in
weekly team meetings that are reflective and responsive in serving program participants.
D. Services Coordinator. Under funding from other sources, the services coordinator will
locate and connect ongoing services provided by community organizations to program
participants, especially providers engaged in The Village as part of the Gang Reduction
Initiative Taskforce. Credible messengers/mentors will build customized wrap-around
services for each program participant who opts in to the program with the assistance of
the services coordinator, thereby maximizing the resources available in the community
with local, state, and federal programs. The services coordinator will participate in all
team training provided by the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and
Behavioral Health and Community Passageways. They will further participate in weekly
team meetings that are reflective and responsive in serving program participants. Lucy
Urbina has been identified to fill this role. Lucy has 15 years of experience connecting
community members with vital services.
E. Systems Coordinator. The systems coordinator will act as the bridge between law
enforcement and community organizations. The systems coordinator will identify ways
in which prevention tactics can become institutionalized at the multi-jurisdictional level
to ensure sustainability in the county. They will participate in all team training provided
by the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and
Community Passageways. They will further participate in weekly team meetings that are
reflective and responsive in serving program participants. Elaine Gonzalez, the YPD
chaplain, has been identified to fill this role. Elaine has 32 years of experience working
with law enforcement.
F. Juvenile Court. Three representatives from the juvenile court will work to schedule
custom notification meetings with youths and their families at routine probation
meetings, during detention, or at other appropriate venues appropriate to each program
9
15
participant. They will further consult with Walk About Yakima(WAY)team members,
especially credible messenger/mentors, in coordinating services for participating youths
and their families. They will participate in all team training provided by the University of
Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and Community
Passageways. They will further participate in weekly team meetings that are reflective
and responsive, with the purpose of serving program participants.
G. Supervisor. The supervisor will manage key staff, facilitate meetings,
organize/coordinate trainings in collaboration with contractors, ensure collaboration with
the Gang Reduction Initiative Taskforce (GRIT), and collaborate with community
leaders, including the faith community. The supervisor will be the bridge to the Dispute
Resolution Center,the backbone organization for the community portion of this initiative.
Sarah Augustine, the Executive Director of the Dispute Resolution Center, will serve in
this role. She will participate in all team training provided by the University of
Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and Community
Passageways. She will further participate in weekly team meetings that are reflective and
responsive, with the purpose of serving program participants.
CONTRACTORS
In cooperation with DCYF funding, the following contractors will help to build and implement a
comprehensive intervention program. They will provide training for all core team members and
provide ongoing consultation as the program rolls out throughout the program period.
A. University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health. The
University of Washington, led by Dr. Eric Trupin, will provide a core component to this
program by helping WAY to develop an evidence-based program. Dr. Trupin has
developed a model where credible messengers/mentors, rather than traditional mental
health professionals, deliver evidence-based interventions. This model has resulted in
greater efficacy, especially among people of color. Training will include motivational
interviewing, multi-systems and dialectical therapy, and relapse prevention.
10
16
B. Community Passageways. Community Passageways is a community organization in
South King County that provides services to the high-risk population we seek to serve.
They focus on providing interventions to youths aged 13-27. They have worked
successfully with Dr. Trupin at the University of Washington for 4 years. They will
provide training and consultation throughout the program. Topics include feelings
regulation, de-escalation, trauma related to racism, working with law enforcement
systems, and building effective teams.
PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS
Each program participant will be assigned a unique identifier that is unrelated to their name or
other identifying information. They will be tracked across these dimensions:
• Services received
• Tier 1 (notified); Tier 2 (voluntary); Tier 3 (self-referred)
• Quality contacts with law enforcement
A. Intervention Tier 1 (notified): Custom notification meeting only. All individuals who
are identified as high risk, and are available in the region, will be provided custom
notification meetings. We anticipate providing custom notification meetings to 40-45
individuals identified by the YPD Spillman data analyst as high risk for perpetrating gun
violence. Thirty-six to 41 individuals will receive notification alone.
B. Intervention Tier 2 (voluntary): Participation in the full program. At least 10-12
individuals will receive evidence-based interventions and services. Services will be
customized to the needs of program participants. Notifications will take place primarily
in the first 60 days but will continue on a rolling basis until at least 10-12 participants opt
in to the program. Program participants who opt in will receive 6 months of evidence-
based services.
11
17
C. Intervention Tier 3 (self-referred): We anticipate that up to 5 individuals who self-
identify as high risk, but are not identified by YPD Spillman data analyst as high risk,
will self-refer to the program. Individuals who self-refer will be admitted to the program
and added to the caseload. These individuals, low-level offenders or gang-affiliated
individuals who have not yet participated in felonies, will serve as a prevention group.
D. Total served: At least 40-45 program participants will receive at least custom
notification. At least 10-12 program participants will receive Tier 2 or Tier 3 services,
effectively neutralizing their participation in gun violence.
PROGRAM SERVICES
Services will be customized to each program participant who opts in to the program. We
anticipate that there will be a maximum of 22 individuals who receive notification meetings
(50%) and opt in to the Tier 2 program. Given this assumption, each participant will receive up
to $6,000 in services. A conservative estimate is that 12 individuals will opt in to the Tier 2
program (25%), where each participant will receive up to $12,000 in services. Services will
include the following:
A. Emergency housing: short-term hotel stays, assistance accessing low-income housing,
vouchers, utility payments, relocation costs
B. Transportation: bus fare and vouchers, fuel, car repair assistance, relocation costs,
transportation costs associated with the program
C. Food: vouchers, assistance applying for food aid, food-related costs to participate in the
program
D. Employment: job placement,job training, life skills training, assistance gaining access
to job training/placement services, and similar aid for guardians in an effort to retain
family fidelity
12
18
E. Education: short-term tuition for certification programs,tutoring, GED program,
parenting classes, life skills training, anger management training, financial literacy,
assistance gaining access to longer-term financial aid; tools such as
calculator/laptop/tablet, backpack, and other school supplies
F. Childcare: assistance identifying subsidized childcare, short-term childcare from a state-
certified provider, diapers, formula, diaper bag, car seat, other necessities associated with
childcare
G. Relocation associated with removal from gang activity: transportation, short-term
housing, costs for initiating a lease (first/last month rent, damage deposit), household set-
up costs
H. Clothing: school clothes, professional clothes for employment, professional clothing for
interviewing, barber/hairdresser, clothes for dependents
I. Treatment: mental health,trauma, drugs/alcohol addiction, addictive behaviors such as
gambling, costs associated with participating in treatment groups like AA
J. Assistance accessing identification documents: driver's license/state ID, birth
certificate, social security card, immigration/naturalization documents
K. Navigating systems: DSHS, aid in securing unemployment/disability,
immigration/naturalization, assistance navigating banking systems
D. PROJECT SCHEDULE
Beginning in July 2020, staff will be trained to implement the Walk About Yakima(WAY)
curriculum/model. Connections will be made with the Yakima Police Department(YPD),
juvenile court, and corrections partners to schedule custom notification meetings and to identify
available services to meet participant needs. The focus will be on individuals with a high risk of
gun violence.
13
19
In August and September 2020, 40-45 participants will receive custom notification meetings and
will be encouraged by credible messengers/mentors to opt in to the program. Participants will be
inducted into the program on a rolling basis and will begin customized services at the point at
which they opt in. As determined by the number who opt in to the program, custom notifications
will continue through May 2021.
June 2021, measures of adherence will be developed to assess the impact of custom notification
model on the reduction of gun related violence.

E. OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
OUTCOME 1: Use Yakima municipal data to identify 40-45 individuals most at risk of
perpetrating gun violence in Yakima County.
The Yakima Police Department(YPD) Spillman data analyst is in place and is a vital part of the
Walk About Yakima(WAY)team. The systems and personnel required to achieve this outcome
are in place at the YPD, and this work is currently underway.
While other municipalities in Yakima County are not yet able to generate this data, we
understand that the individuals we identify using Yakima municipal data move between
jurisdictions in Yakima County, and their identification and involvement in the current program
will benefit the entire county. It is our intention for the program to serve all of Yakima County
in cooperation with municipalities and law enforcement agencies county wide.
Performance measure for Outcome 1: Identify individuals most at risk of perpetrating gun
violence in Yakima County.
The YPD Spillman data analyst will generate a rolling list of youths and adults most likely to
perpetrate gun violence during the 12-month program period at least, but not limited to, 40-45
individuals.
OUTCOME 2: Provide notification meetings to 40-45 at-risk individuals identified by Yakima
municipal data.
Using strategies consistent with the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing
Services, we will bring a detailed knowledge of an at-risk individual's criminal history and
provide notification by law enforcement and one or more "credible messengers"who share
histories and experiences similar to the at-risk individual.
Performance measure for Outcome 2: Notify a minimum of 40-45 individuals at risk of
perpetrating gun violence in Yakima County
15
21
A. Forty to 45 individuals identified as most at risk of perpetuating gun violence in Yakima
will receive custom notification within the first 2 months of the program period and on an
ongoing basis throughout the program period until 40-45 are notified.
B. At-risk youths and adults will be notified by the WAY team that there will be enhanced
consequences for further violence and that support and services are available for those
who wish to opt in to the program.
OUTCOME 3: Provide program services to all program participants who opt in.
"Opting in" is defined as an agreement to cease illegal activity and a commitment to participate
in evidence-based program interventions provided by the WAY team in collaboration with the
University of Washington department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and Community
Passageways. Program services include shelter,transportation,food, employment, education,
childcare, relocation, clothing, mental health or addiction treatment, and navigating systems as
defined in section C.
Performance measure for Outcome 3: Provide program services to all at-risk individuals who
opt in to the program.
A minimum of 10-12 program participants who choose to opt in to the program will receive
program services and evidence-based interventions.
OUTCOME 4: Reduce quality contacts with the criminal justice system.
A. Program participants who are in Tier 1 and receive custom notification alone will have a
reduction in quality contacts with the criminal justice system during the program period.
Additionally, we expect a reduction of gang-involved gun violence in Yakima County
over the course of the program period. "Quality contacts" include arrests for any felony,
narcotics offense, resisting arrest, or being the suspect in a violent crime investigation.
B. Program participants in Tier 2 who opt in to receive program services will have a
statistically significant decrease in quality contacts with the criminal justice system
during the program period, thus reducing gun violence in Yakima County during the
program period.
16
22
Performance measure for Outcome 4: Program participants will have reduced quality contacts
with the criminal justice system.
A. Thirty-six to 41 program participants who receive custom notification alone will reduce
their quality contacts with the criminal justice system. The reduced number of quality
contacts with the criminal justice system will be measured by comparing the average
number of quality contacts in the 5 years prior to the program year to the count of quality
contacts following custom notification.
B. Ten to 12 program participants who choose to cease violent, illegal activity and receive
program interventions and services will significantly reduce their quality contacts with
the criminal justice system. The significant reduction in quality contacts will be
measured by comparing the average number of quality contacts in the 5 years prior to the
program year (pre-program period)to the contacts during the program period. A
difference between the pre-program period and the program period will be counted as
statistically significant if there is only a.05%probability that the difference occurred by
chance. Essentially, this will mean neutralizing gun violence for 10-12 participants who
have been identified as high risk.
OUTCOME 5: Reduce gang involved gun crimes in Yakima County during the program period.
There will be a lower number of gang-involved gun crimes in Yakima County during the
program period than in the 12 months immediately preceding it.
Performance measure for Outcome 5: Reduce gun violence in Yakima County during the
program period
There will be a lower number of gun-related, gang-involved crimes committed during the
program period when compared to the 12-months preceding the program.
PROJECTED NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE INTERVENTION PROGRAM
• Intervention Tier 1 (notified): Custom notification only. Thirty-six to 41 individuals
will receive notification alone.
17
23
• Intervention Tier 2 (voluntary): Opt in to the full program. At least 10-12 will receive
evidence-based interventions and services. Notifications will take place primarily in the
first 60 days but will continue on a rolling basis until at least 10-12 participants opt in to
the program.
• Intervention Tier 3 (self-referred): We anticipate that 3-5 individuals who self-identify
as high risk, but are not identified by they'd Spillman data analyst, will self-refer and opt
in to the program.
Total served: At least 40-45 program participants will receive at least custom
notification. At least 10-12 program participants will receive Tier 2 or Tier 3 services,
effectively neutralizing their participation in gun violence.
DURATION OF THE STRUCTURED PROGRAM
The structured program is approximately 6 months in duration for program participants who opt
in. During the program period, participants will receive evidence-based interventions under the
supervision of the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health, as
well as individually customized program services that include shelter,transportation,food,
employment, education, childcare, relocation, clothing, mental health or addiction treatment, and
assistance accessing identification documents—as defined in section C.
PROJECTED PROGRAM COMPLETION RATE
Because this is the first year of this program, we do not have data to substantiate a projected
completion rate. Rather, in this program year, we will compile data that will help us to predict
completion rates in subsequent years. In order to reach our target of supporting 10-12 Tier 2
(voluntary)program participants through completion, we will continue to perform custom
notifications and recruit additional program participants as participants in intervention group 2.
Credible messengers/mentors will work diligently to retain all program participants, providing
individualized wrap-around services to all program participants. However, we anticipate that
some will drop out. We will,therefore, continuously recruit to ensure at least 36-41 participants
18
24
receive custom notification alone and at least 10-12 participants successfully complete the
program.
F. RISKS
1. A low number of custom notifications performed in the first quarter of the program
period.
To maximize efficiency in providing services to Tier 2 (voluntary) and Tier 3 (self-referred)
participants, and we will perform as many notifications as possible in the first 2 months of the
program period. Failure to provide notifications in the first quarter of the program period will
diminish the time we can provide services to Tier 2 (voluntary) and Tier 3 (self-referred)
participants. To avoid this issue, we anticipate taking the following actions:
A. Constant communication with system partners who have agreed to join us in scheduling
custom notifications, including the Yakima Police Department Spillman data analyst,
juvenile court, and the Department of Corrections. We have identified a position in the
program that will coordinate with law enforcement systems and ensure smooth
communication and processes.
B. Flexibility and responsiveness in determining where and how notifications will occur.
We are working now to begin scheduling notifications in a variety of venues in
cooperation with law enforcement system partners and community supporters.
2. A low number of program participants opt in to Tier 2 (voluntary) or Tier 3 (self-
referred) interventions.
To maximize efficiency in providing services to Tier 2 and Tier 3 participants, we will perform
as many notifications as possible in the first 2 months of the program period. It is a risk that
fewer than anticipated Tier 1 notified participants opt in to the program. To avoid this outcome,
we anticipate taking the following actions:
19
25
A. Clear preparation to identify and recruit"influential"people that program participants
will respond to
B. Weekly team meetings with custom notification teams to identify what is working and
what is not working
C. Reflective, responsive process to identify when a change in approach is required
D. Value-driven rather than schedule-driven processes, where notification teams are
crafted based on who will serve best rather than who is available
3. There is an initial interest among Tier 2 (voluntary) participants, but they do not persist
in the program.
To avoid this risk, we will take the following actions:
A. Credible messengers/mentors will provide interventions weekly and provide persistent
access to wrap-around services that goes well beyond offering referrals
B. Credible messengers/mentors, weekly, will document interventions and services
provided, as well as reflections about what is working with specific program participants
in their caseload
C. Credible messengers/mentors will be persistent in reaching out to participants, as needed,
to help them stay on track
D. Weekly team meetings with credible messengers/mentors, outreach services coordinator,
and supervisory staff to brainstorm strategies for reaching each individual program
participant
4. There is mentor frustration or burnout.
To avoid this risk, we will take the following actions:
A. Weekly team meetings with credible messengers/mentors, the outreach services
coordinator, and supervisory staff to offer mutual support and to discuss the progress of
each individual program participant
B. Weekly team circle process to listen/hear each other without judgement and provide
mutual support
C. After weekly team meetings, a time set aside to debrief, confidentially in dyads, to
provide mutual support
20
26
D. Monthly check-in meetings between supervisor and each credible messenger/mentor will
help supervisory staff to identify strategies and resources that will best support each staff
member
5. Mentors or staff transition out of the program,leading to loss of relationships.
It is a risk that credible messenger/mentor staff will leave, and the loss of relationship will cause
Tier 2 (voluntary) and Tier 3 (self-referred)program participants to lose faith in the program. To
avoid this risk, we will take the following actions:
A. Credible messenger/mentor staff are selected because they have already demonstrated
with other community organizations that they are committed to doing the work
B. Credible messenger/mentor staff, at weekly team meetings, will share information so that
other staff members can step in if a mentor/credible messenger leaves the program
C. Credible messenger/mentor staff documentation will enable alternate staff to step in if a
mentor/credible messenger leaves the program
D. By connecting program participants to others in the community while providing wrap-
around services, each program participant in the voluntary and self-referred tiers will
have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with others beyond the program
team
E. Evidence-based interventions will enable program participants in voluntary and self-
referred tiers to form meaningful connections with family members and other people in
their lives beyond the program team
6. A Tier 2 or Tier 3 program participant commits a gang involved gun crime while
receiving services
In the event a program participant commits gun/gang violence, she or he will be prosecuted to
the fullest extent of the law consistent with the focused deterrence program. The Walk About
Yakima Program participant will be offered the opportunity to cooperate with law enforcement
and, in doing so, will be given consideration on sentencing.
21
27
G. DELIVERABLES
On June 2021, at the end of the program period, a final report will be delivered to the
Department of Commerce. It will include an evaluation of each dimension of the program and
its efficacy, as measured by the following quantifiable objectives:
1. At least 40-45 individuals at risk of perpetrating gun violence will be identified by the
City of Yakima in the first quarter of the program period.
2. At lease 40-45 program participants in the notified tier will receive custom notification
meetings.
3. At least 10-12 program participants in the voluntary tier will be provided evidence-based
interventions and program services.
4. Up to 5 program participants in the self-referred tier will be provided evidence-based
interventions and program services.
5. Program participants' pooled quality contacts with the criminal justice system will
decrease in the program when compared with the pooled average quality contacts in the 5
years preceding the program's start. Quality contacts with the criminal justice system
include arrests for any felony, narcotics offense, resisting arrest, or being the suspect in a
violent crime investigation.
6. There will be fewer gun felonies committed in the City of Yakima during the program
period when compared to the 12 months preceding the program's start.

B. EXPERIENCE OF'THE CONTRACTOR
1.Direct Experience of the Contractor
The contractor is the City of Yakima, a municipal government in Yakima County. The City and
County of Yakima have a clear and evident problem with group well as other types of violent
crime associated in and around the gang culture in the community.
In response to concerns about the chronic presence of gangs and gang crime in our community,
in November 2009,the Yakima City Council, directed City Staff to develop a framework for the
implementation of a City of Yakima Gang Free Initiative. The vision of the City of Yakima Gang
Free Initiative was to create a safe, peaceful, gang-free community resulting in a high quality of
life for families. Their mission was to engage the community to develop suppression, prevention
and intervention strategies that support and promote positive youth development. In 2011 they
released the 2011 City of Yakima Community Profile for the benefit of key community
stakeholders, policymakers and service providers. This profile presents data and analysis to
support the development of a city-wide anti-gang approach to reducing juvenile crime and
violence in the city of Yakima. The 2011 City of Yakima Community Profile was in line with the
efforts of the Yakima County Gang Commission Assessment. Even though both assessments
were similar in many ways and both used guidance from the OJJDP Comprehensive Gang
Assessment model, they differed regarding their intended audience and outcome.
26
32
2014 -2019
In 2014, the City conducted a livability survey which asked specific questions about safety and
crime. In the first nine months of 2017 there were eleven homicides in Yakima.12 Three of those
homicides were determined to be gang related. An additional three of them may have been gang
related but officers lacked sufficient evidence to make that determination. One other homicide
occurred in a neighborhood known for gang violence, but the victim was not gang related. In
one of the gang related shootings, a fourteen-year-old male was killed as part of a drive-by
shooting. This gang violence spurred the City Council to start a series of neighborhood forums
about gang and gun violence in Yakima. Between 2017 and 2018, a total of ten public forums
took place throughout the City including two in Spanish. These efforts concluded with the Vision
2025 Community Wellness Plan, which addressed community health from three perspectives:
Youth development; Domestic violence; and Neighborhood safety.
In addition, in May 2018 Opportunities Industrialization Center of WA(OIC) and NAACP
hosted a regional dialogue for youth to discuss violence. The City will leverage any and all
current discussions where we can understand diverse perspectives and incorporate messages in
our program design.13 Based on feedback provided by community residents to listening sessions
conducted by the Yakima City Council in 2017, youth and gang violence ranked as one of their
top concerns". The outcry over the violence prompted Washington Governor Jay Inslee to visit
Yakima to meet with community residents and leaders in October 2017.15 Over 100 people
attended the meeting. A statewide summit on gangs and youth violence was held in November
2017. Out of these efforts came a grant from the Governor's office to the City of Yakima to
develop a sustainable approach to addressing gang violence and youth involvement in gangs.

This grant for a total of$150,000 was given for the state fiscal year from July 1, 2018 to June 30,
2019.16
With the receipt of the grant, the City of Yakima began using the structure outlined in the
Comprehensive Gang Model. This has included:
A. Convening a steering committee of key decision makers which meets monthly.
B. Bringing together service providers and concerned community residents to share resources,
make connections and look at service gaps and how to fill them. This group called the Gang
Reduction Intervention Taskforce(GRIT)Village has met every two months.
C. Developing a small pilot program, dubbed the Yakima Youth Leadership Program, as our
service delivery component. It provides coaching/mentoring to select 6th grade students in
the Yakima School District and their parents/guardians. The youth are identified by the
school as either being in a gang or at clear risk of joining one. The design of this program,
including the student age group to be reached,was determined by the GRIT Village.
D. Conducting a community education campaign with hour long interviews on KDNA,the local
Spanish Language public radio station, and short interviews and advertisements on three
English Language radio stations in Yakima.
E. Evaluating the effectiveness and impact of the grant program's components. The evaluation
is not yet ready at this time but will be submitted to the State of Washington by July 15, 2019.
It will be available for sharing with OJJDP at that time.
Through the work we have done thus far under our current state grant, we clearly see the value of
continuing to implement the comprehensive gang model complete with continued Gang
Reduction Intervention Taskforce (GRIT) Steering Committee and Village meetings and to
expand the Yakima Youth Leadership Program to all four Yakima School District Middle Schools
and all the youth who could benefit from the program. The DRC is contracted with the City of
Yakima to facilitate GRIT.

The Dispute Resolution Center has extensive experience serving at-risk youth. Since 2010, the
DRC has provided Victim Offender Mediation (VOM) and Restorative Alternative (RA)
Meetings as a Diversion Program for Juvenile Court. In this program, youths are led through a
process of thinking through what happened that led them to engage in crime and have contact
with the criminal justice system, and the steps they must take to "make it right." In the VOM
process, youths prepare to meet face to face with the victim of their crime,to voice responsibility
and ask for forgiveness. In the RA process, where victims are not available to participate, youths
are able to take responsibility and ask for forgiveness in a written letter. In both processes,
youths are provided communication skills, and coached through reflection that leads to
accountability.
Since 2017, the DRC has provided the Youth Leadership Program for Juvenile Court, a
Diversion Program that was created to serve youths who have been convicted of domestic
violence. This program was created in collaboration with Juvenile Court leadership in response
to growing referrals to provide youths with this status. This trauma-informed program provides
youths referred by Juvenile Court with ten hours of training in de-escalation, feelings-
management, communication, forming meaningful connection, cognitive strategies such as how
to deal with disappointment, long and short-term planning. The DRC currently serves over sixty
youths referred per year.
In 2020, the City of Yakima contracted with the DRC to facilitate the various activities of The
Gang Reduction Intervention Taskforce (GRIT). The DRC is the community organization that
provides leadership in conflict resolution at the individual and community-levels. The DRC has
provided facilitation services to community conflict to ESD 105, the City of Yakima, DSHS,
Mount Adams School District, and more. The DRC further provides training and coaching to the
K-12 system in communication and restorative practices in schools.

Budget Narrative
Staffing: The Supervisor and the Systems Coordinator will both be employees of the Dispute
Resolution Center(DRC). The Supervisor will dedicate 50% of a full-time equivalent position to
the program at$31.77 per hour. The Systems Coordinator will dedicate 50% of a full-time
equivalent position to the program at 31.77 per hour. The two Credible Messenger/Mentors will
both be employees of the DRC. Each will dedicate a 1.0 full-time equivalent position to the
program at$23.43 per hour.
Union Gospel Mission (UGM) Madison House sub-award: The Credible Messenger/Mentor
supervisor will be employed by UGM Madison House. He and his staff, where applicable, will
dedicate at least 50% of a full-time equivalent position to the program at$23.43 per hour.
Because Madison house is already providing services to several potential program participants, it
is vital that Madison House staff remain in place. UGM Madison House will further provide
access to facilities to run program as needed, not to exceed $29,250.
Staffing match: The three Gang Unit Officers will be employees of the Yakima Police
Department(YPD). They will each dedicate 10% of a full-time equivalent position to the
program at$41.42 per hour. They will devote most of the total hours to the intense work that
will take place in the first quarter. Thereafter, they will each devote a minimum of 4 hours per
month to the program. The Spillman Data Analyst will be employees of the YPD. He will
dedicate 10% of a full-time equivalent position to the program at 32.53 per hour.
Fringe Benefits:
The DRC staff will receive medical, dental and vision coverage. The fringe benefits for them
include all applicable taxes and workers' compensation payments. The rate for these items is
calculated as a total for all the benefits divided by the percentage of full time that they will work
on the grant.
Program Costs:
Equipment: The DRC will purchase the following equipment for the Credible
Messengers/Mentors and Systems Coordinator: 3 computers @ $500 each; 3 cell phones at$100
33
39
each. In addition, the DRC will add three cell phone lines to current phone plan, at a total cost of
$480 for 12 months of service.
Training Materials: We estimate that training materials for all staff on the Walk About Yakima
team will cost$700. This includes training materials for 4 DRC staff and 3 YPD staff. We
estimate that training materials for program participants will cost $1000. These costs might
include printed materials, printing, notebooks, and other materials related to training.
Indirect Costs:
The City of Yakima will charge a 10% administrative rate. This will be for oversight provided
by the Grant Manager (Chad Stevens), Finance (Isabel Cruz), and Purchasing(Maria Mayhue).

I am a fully commissioned police officer with the City of Yakima Police Department. I have been
employed with the Yakima Police Department for just under 7years. |was born and raised in the City of
Yakima,and chose in 2013 to make Yakima my permanent home after accepting a career with the
Yakima Police Department. Since the City of Yakima is my hometown, I have always had a vested
interest in the community as a whole, and chose to focus this interest in the form of public safety. I
have always wanted to provide as best of a positive influence as I could, and felt that the best way to do
this was through law enforcement.
While I have been exposed to many facets of law enforcement over my career, I have spent the majority
of my career studying, observing, deterring, interdicting, and investigating gang-related crimes. Through
my career, I have come into contact with numerous individuals in the community who express their fear
of gangs and gang-members, and have suffered from the criminal acts committed by gang members
either directly or indirectly. This particular type of criminal activity resonated with me deeply,as people
innoy family have suffered from the same types ofcircumstances. Due tn this, | have come into contact
with numerous gang members/associates,gang-influenced families, and gang-influenced youths. | havo
seen the everlasting, and often irreversible effects of gangs on the community,and have dedicated my
career to helping change this dynamic for the better.

My ability to establish trusting and ethically focused relationships,with those I serve, stems
from my own involvement in the justice system. I understand the importance of connecting
at risk populations to community resources and including their family and support
networks in this process. Thus, ensuring their success once they return to their community.
I plan to enhance the organization's role in helping participants in navigating the justice
system in addition to creating opportunities for growth, healing, and hope to continue
moving forward with their individual goals.
