FROM: Kathryn Ackland
RE: Projects recommended for FY 1980 LEAA funding: Proposed
Resolution of Sponsorship.
Attached is the proposed resolution of sponsorship for the St. Paul
sponsored subgrant projects to be funded with the FY 1980 LEAA allocation
for St. Paul/Ramsey County. Two out of nine projects within the allocation
are proposed as St. Paul sponsored projects. Ramsey County will act as the
sponsoring unit of government for the remaining seven projects.
Three additional projects are proposed but cannot be included within the
allocation because of limited resources. The three projects are: Courts
Space P1anagement Study (Ramsey County sponsored) Criminal Justice Informa-
tion System Study (Ramsey County sponsored) and Corrannunity Arbitration.
(St. Paul sponsored) . There is no assurance that these three projects will
_ be funded.
Using a deliberate review process, the Coordinating Council approved the
nine projects for priority funding within the FY 1980 allocation. In
December new project concept papers were reviewed and priorities established
by the Coordinating Council . A concept paper procedure was initiated in
this planning process for the first time to encourage new ideas and to
direct staff efforts towards �the most promising new project concepts. All
grant application (PDF's) w2��e received in January and were reviewed by
Coordinating Council staff. Then the Coordinating Council subcommittees,
and the Community Corrections Advisory Board where appropriate, examined
the PDF's and made recommendations. On March 1, the Coordinating Council �
approved the nine projects for the FY 1980 Annual Action Plan/block grant
application.
The FY 1980 proposed block grant contract will be presented to the St. Paul
City Council for acceptance after the block grant is approved by the Minne-
sota Crime Control Planning Board. At this time the anticipated local match
commitment by St. Paul is estimated to be $56,178. This estimate includes
$40,913 requested by the Coordinating Council for its own budget. The
guidelines under proposed 1980 federal legislation will require dollar�for-
. ' �^������ .
z
-2-
dollar match on funds to planning agencies like the Coordinating Council .
Other match contributions requested for the Coordinating Council budget
include $40,913 from Ramsey County and $4,603 from the State of Minnesota.
The LEAA contribution to the Coordinating Council budget is $82,856.

FY 1980 LEAA Plan
�
� INTRODUCTION: This FY 1980 Annual Action Plan describes LEAA
funding decisions based upon planning activities
during the past nine months. The foremost goals
of the St. Paul-Ramsey County Criminal Justice
� Coordinating Council are to improve the criminal
justice system and crime control . Coordinating
' Council members and staff have been involved in
� various tasks to further those goals by determining
the needs of the Ramsey County criminal justice
system as well as identify projects to meet those
needs.
� The planning process for FY 1980 formally began
with collection of information from Ramsey County
� criminal justice agencies about their activities
during the past year (1977). This criminal
justice system update is done annually for Coor-
dinating Council members to better understand issues
rwithin the sub-systems.
A Ramsey County Crime Analysis for 1977 was also
� completed based upon Uniform Crime Reports which
describes criminal offenses and police arrest data
as reported to the Minnesota Crime Information
� System. -
New Coordinating Council sub committees were formed
this past year to better reflect areas of interest
� and expertise. The sub-committees in the past had
been organized according to sub-system areas. The
new sub-committees were identified as the following:
� Prevention/Apprehension, Adjudication/Diversion, Eross
Systems/Management, and Corrections.
These sub-committees developed problem statements
� and goals for FY 1980 by reviewing those from the
past year and also reviewing the 1977 Ramsey County
Crime Analysis and updated criminal jsutice system
� information. The full Coordinating Council reviewed
sub-committee reports on problem statements and goals
before adopting them as part of the FY 1980 Plan.
� Ideas for projects to implement these goals were
solicited from Ramsey County criminal justice
a5encies and community groups. These Project
� Concepts" were r•eviewed by Coordinating Council
members and ranked for staff assistance to develop
into project proposals coordinated with appropriate
� criminal justice agencies.

St. Paul-Ramsey County CJCC �
FY 1980 LEAA Plan
The project proposals requiring LEAA funding were �
reviewed by the sub-committees and the full
Coordinating Council . Those continuation and new �
projects contained in this FY 1980 Annual Action
Plan are the result of this lengthy and thorough
review process. �
The major emphasis of this Annual Action Plan is to
provide resources for increasing management capabilities
of county and suburban ad�inistrators of criminal �
justice activities. New service areas are also
included that address St. Paul and Ramsey County
needs for increased, specialized victim/witness
assistance and service restitution for adult offenders=
These projects were developed and identified for
funding based upon the thorough and inclusive planning�
process described above.

, PROGRAM l : Community Prevention Services
This program area addresses the needs of youth in the comnunity by providing
� services such as education, employment, health and recreation, as well as
facilitating the coordination of all agencies in the corranunity that serve
youth.
� PROBLEM: A high proportion of property-oriented crimes co.mmunity
by youthful offenders identified the need to develop
meaningful prevention strategies as a means of reducing
� the incidence of crimes comnitted by juveniles. Ramsey
County arrest data for 1977 shows that of all those
arrested for crimes against persons (homicide, rape,
j aggravated assault, and robbery) one-third (33.4�)
were juveniles. Similar figures for those arrested
for crimes against property (burglary, motor vehicle
theft, larceny) reveal that two-thirds (66.9%) of those
, arrested in Ramsey County were juveniles. Part II
offense data suggests that nearly 40% of those
arrested for crimes such as fraud, prostitution, nar-
� cotics, vandalism also were less than eighteen years
of age. Indeed, 71% of those arrested for vandalism
were juveniles.
� GOALS: 1 . To develop and implement workshops geared to
juveniles and their parents, particularly to
highlight the consequences of a criminal arrest.
� 2. To develop and implement crime prevention efforts
aimed at upper elementary school grades, particularly
� to highlight the c�nsequences of a criminal arrest.
3. To develop and implement crime prevention efforts
for the owners/managers of commercial establishments,
� particularly those subject to crimes most likely to
be corr�nitted by youthful offenders.
� STRATEGY: The St. Paul-Ramsey County Criminal Justice Coordinating
Council is strongly supportive of community prevention
efforts and has recently endorsed two such projPCts, one
of which is included in the FY 1980 Annual Action Plan
� for LEAA funding. The Adolescent Abuse Project, a
second year effort, combines Ramsey County Welfare
Department and school system efforts to meet the special
� needs of abused adolescents and prevent delinquent
activity. Another project, to develop crime prevention
curriculum for upper elementary and junior hiah students
in St. Paul Public Schools, was a reco�nnendation in the
� St. Paul Public Safety/Crime Prevention Plan. Coor-
dinating Council staff will seek private funding for
this project.
� RELATIONSHIP TO
STATE AND REGION: The problem statements and goals are consistent with

dinating Council . A program monitoring and evaluation
system will. be developed for both projects.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: Assistance will be provided by Coordinating Council �
staff as well as school system and Welfare Depart-

PROGRAM 2: Diversion
� This program area assists in the development of diversion criteria and .guidelines
in communities whose personnel are unable to develop such procedures with only
technical assistance. Projects will provide staff assistance to the areas of
� juvenile courts, court services and law enforcement.
PROBLEM: Police in Ramsey County need to have increased liaison
� • with community alternatives to the juvenile justice
system. Most juveniles' initial introduction to the
criminal justice system is through a police officer. The
discretion used by the police in apprehension alternatives
' may lead the child into further conta�t with the system.
' Law enforcement agencies and their communities must
establish and maintain active comnunication if successful
diversion is to occur. Coordinating with respec� to
community resources and law enforcement's ability to
� refer is crucial . Specific problems in police referral
to community diversion programs are the lack of involvement
by police with community agencies in the planning and
operation of their agencies, and the lack of uniform refer-
� ral procedures. Preliminary reports from the Team Police
Project indicate that the efforts by the Police Department
are being well received by corr�nunity agencies. The youth
� service bureaus have also attempted to increase police
participation in diversion programs.
� Ramsey County currently has limited resources to implement
restitution alternatives. In some cases> it may be more
cost efficient to require participation in restitution/
diversion programs rather than impose the traditional
� sanction required by the criminal justice system.
GOALS: Police Officer Participation
� 1 . to develop a uniform referral criteria for juveniles
ta diversion programs to be utilized by law enforce-
� ment agencies, with particular emphasis on Youth
Service Bureaus
2. to help increase police participation in the planning
, and operation of youth diversion programs, and
3. to improve lines of communication and confidence
� between the community and the police.
Restitution
� 1 . to support the development and implementation of
monetary and work service restitution components in
existin� programs.

PROGRAM 3: Juvenile Court
� This program area addresses the needs of youth involved in the adjudication system,
by implementing projects designed to provide training for defense attorneys, develop
rules of procedure for juvenile court, provide defense services for youth and their
� parents, and advise juveniles and their parents of their legal rights and alternatives.
PROBLEM: The public at large is not aware of the ramifications
� ' of the juvenile court process and procedure. In Ramsey
County, there is no standard procedure for informing
the public of the court process.
� Ramsey County currently has limited resources to implement
restitution alternatives. In some cases , it may be more
cost efficient to require participation in restitution
� diversion programs rather than impose the traditional
sanction required by the criminal justice system. This
may also impart a feeling of accountability more directly
� on the juvenile offender.
GOALS: Juvenile Court Procedure
� 1 . to provide information on the juvenile court process
to the public, especially to juveniles and their
families before they enter the initial hearing.
, Restitution
1 . to support the development and implementation of monetary
� and service restitution components in existing programs.
2. to encourage the development and training of restitution
� specialists.
STRATEGY: For FY 1980 no projects ha�e been incl�aded in the Annual
Action Plan. Implementation will be further identified
� during 1979-1980 as part of the ongoing planning activities
of the Coordinating Council .

PROGRAM 4: Pre-Adjudication Alternatives �
This program area encourages projects to lower the number of youths involved
in the adjudication process and detained in secure facilities. In this area ,
projects are funded by LEAA and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
Act, including detention alternatives, alternatives to local jails and police
lockups, and corr¢nnunity-based residential and •non-residential programs. �
PROBLEM: -- There is not enough documented information �on the
profile of the female who is detained or who is
going through the criminal justice system. This �
problem was expressed at the CJCC 1978 Goal Setting
Conference. The lack of information regarding the
female offender inhibits any potential treatment �
that could be used to address her needs.
GOAL: To research the needs of juvenile female offenders
in Ramsey County. �
STRATEGY: Implementation will be further identified during
1979-1980 as part of the Coordinating Council 's �
continuing planning activities.
RELATIONSHIP. TO �
STATE AND REGION: The problem statement and goal are inherently

� PROGRAM 5: Post-Adjudication Alternatives
This program area encourages projects to assist adjudicated youths in their
transition back into the corrnnunity. Projects that are implemented include
� community-based residential and nonresidential treatment programs, restitution
programs, probation and parole services, and volunteer and paraprofessional
programs. This area includes funds awarded by the Juvenile Justice and
� Delinquency Prevention Act.
PROBLEM: Refer to 1979 Ramsey County Comnunity Corrections
Plan, Pages 17-19, Statement of Needs, see Appendix.
� GOALS: Services and Treatment. To make availabie
investigative, diagnostic, case planning, and
� treatment services for offenders under juris-
diction of Ramsey County Courts, the Corranissioners
of Corrections, or the Minnesota Corrections Board.
These services are provided under the direction
, of the Community Corrections Department.
Institutionalization. To provide security, super-
� vision, and treatment of persons committed by a
court to a Ramsey County correctional institution.
� Control . To limit unacceptable behavior in the
corr�nunity through the accountable exercise of
control over offenders under court jurisdiction.
� Victims of Crimes. To insure whenever possible
that the victim or the community receives reim-
� bursement in either money or services from the
� offender.
Protection and Safety. To provide for the pro-
tection and safety of the public and the offender
� through effective diagnosis and treatment planning.
The need to provide treatment services to offenders
must be balanced with the need to provide protection
� and safety to the public.
Community Resources. To utilize community services
to augment the services available within the
i corrections network. Some of these resources are
supported with community corrections funds, while
others are paid for through the resources of other
� agencies.
Diversion. To encourage development of diversion
resources as an alternative to becoming involved
� in the official corrections system.
STRATEGY: Implementation will be identified during
� 1979-1980 as part of the ongoing planning activities
of the Coordinating Council and the Ramsey County
Community Corrections Department and Advisory Board.

PROGRAM 7: Police-Comnunity Cooperation and Crime Prevention �
This program area addresses the need for increased communication and cooperation
between law enforcement agencies and members of the general community. Projects �
included in this area involve Operation Identification and other crime prevention
activities, increased victim reporting, community attitude surveys, crisis inter-
vention, and increased responsiveness to community needs. �
PROBLEM. Interviews with Saint Paul residents as a part of
the Team Police Project show that violent personal
street crimes are less frequently identified as �
neighborhood crime problems. More than half of the
responses to a citizen survey cited reckless driving
as a serious neighborhood problem with certain pro- �
perty crimes (vandalism, bicycle theft, burglary)
also high concerns. Much of the crime identified
as being of serious concern to individual neighbor-
hoods prevention efforts. Police-neighborhood efforts �
and concerns need to be effectively linked together.
This will require expanded joint efforts, particularly
with other city agencies which offer services pertinent �
to the police/neighborhood efforts. There is insufficient
data on the concerns of residents elsewhere in Ramsey
County.
Interim evaluation reports of Saint Paul 's Team Police �
Project indicate that: (1 ) police officers have become
more visible within city neighborhoods, (2) the �
number of citizen/police officer contacts has expanded,
and (3) there has been a modest decline in the
number of complaints lodged against police officers.
Concomittently there has been a significant decrease �
(12 percent) in Part I crimes, particularly in motor
vehicle theft, robbery and corrnnercial burglary. Addition-
ally, the number of arrests made since the inception of �
the Team Police Project has risen.
GOALS: 1 . to develop an interdepartmental approach to crime
prevention, involving those city agencies which �
potentially have impact upon allaying the high
crime concerns of the neighborhoods,
2. to encourage community groups to implement crime �
prevention programs in cooperation with police
agencies and the County Sheriff, �
3. to foster and encourage experimentation in crime
prevention programs and strategies, and to assess
and evaluate any such efforts for improvements or ,
reapplication.
4. to continue to foster and encourage police efforts �
which focus upon police/neighborhood involvement
and mutual awareness of common interests and concerns,
-14- ,
�
St. Paul-Ramsey County CJCC
� FY 1980 LEAA Plan
, 5. to continue experimentation of inethods and strategies
which encourage/promote reporting and relaying of
information to the police by individual citizens and
� neighborhood groups,
6. to seek further ways to augment positive police/
� citizen contact, and
7. to seek and encourage the cooperative efforts of
cities in providing joint crime prevention service
, programs where feasible.
STRATEGY: For FY 1980 no projects have'been identified for funding
� within the Annual Action Plan. However, the recently
endorsed St. Paul Community Public Safety/Crime Prevention
Plan includes recommendations that address the problem
statements and goals identified here. Federal LEAA dis-
, cretionary funds are being sought for a twelve month
St. Paul project that would further encourage community
groups and law enforcement officials to work together
� to prevent crime. The Public Safety/Crime Prevention
Plan also makes recommendations regarding City depart-
mental policy and procedural changes that are supportive
� of crime prevention. These recommendations have been
adopted by �he City Council and departments (e.g. ,
deadbolt lock ordinance, adoption of security chapter of
State Building Code, �safety check training for housing
� rehabilitation counselors and safety devices declared
eligible for loan and grant program, design review
training for City staff, etc. ).
� Additional implementation plans will be identified during
1979-1980 as part of the Coordinating Council 's ongoing
planning activities.

PROGRAM 8: Police Officer Selection and Training ,
This program area seeks to develop appropriate, job-related, non-discriminatory
standards for police officer personnel , to insure the hiring and training of the �
most qualified candidates for law enforcement agencies.
PROBLEM: More than 130 sworn police officers serve the police �
agencies of suburban Ramsey County. The Sheriff's
Department has a sworn complement of more than 180
personnel , and the St. Paul police department, a sworn ,
staff in excess of 500. Minnesota law mandates that
each officer receive a minimum of 16 hours of approved
training in a calendar year in order to maintain
eligibility for the officer's individual license. A
license is valid for three years, with the training minimum
to be met each of those years. Presently these training
needs are being met through separate department action. �
There is little coordinated effort within Ramsey County.
In Anoka, Dakota, and Washington Counties, on the other
hand, county-wide, coordinated efforts are being carried
out. Similar efforts are being considered in Hennepin �
County.
GOALS: 1 . to identify the specific training needs of individual �
police officers in Ramsey County, in relation to the
state mandated training/licensing requirements, and
provide for a training program responsive to that
assessment, and ,
2. to coordinate police officer training needs with
those of adjacent agencies with comparable needs. ,
STRATE GY: For FY 1980 no projects have been identified for funding
within the Annual Action Plan. Implementation activities
will be considered during 1979-1980 as part of the �
Coordinating Council 's ongoing planning process.

, PROGRAM 9: Law Enforcement Consolidation and Management
� This program area addresses the need for increased efficiency and productivity of
the law enforcement sub-system. Projects are implemented that are designed to re-
organize police services into more consolidated and efficient forms.
� PROBLEM: Law enforcement resources and services are not equally
available in all areas of Ramsey County, especially
those of a supportive nature to patrol operations.
, Service demands increase but budgets remain limited.
Local government officials need alternative cost effective
ways to strengthen and improve law enforcement services
, while preserving essential elements of local control .
Particularly desirable would be joint service ventures
which stress the provision of police support services
� such as in records and communications, criminalistics,
and the like.
GOALS: 1 . to research levels of police service,
� 2. to evaluate and offer recommendations regarding
alternative means of providing police services,
` 3. to encourage contractual agreements for coopertive
� use of resources and services,
, 4. to support cost effective efforts to improve law
enforcement service to all areas, and
, 5. to concentrate the use of LEAA Part C funds in
the law enforcement area for joint service action
programs in Programs 10 and 11 in FY 1980.

PROGRAM 10: Investigation and Criminalistics �
This program area addres�ses the need for the increased ability of law enforcement
agencies to analyze physical evidence in the investigation of criminal offenses, �
thereby increasing the number of charges that can be brought by prosecutors.
PROBLEM: Most law enforcement agencies with Ramsey County are ,
unable to process physical evidence effectively. Only
the City of St. Paul maintains a high quality, fully
operational laboratory with some financial support from
Ramsey County. The State of Minnesota, through the ,
Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, also provides such
assistance, usually with excessive delays in processing
materials. The City of Saint Paul has been carrying out ,
criminalistic work for all the police agencies within
the County, on a request basis, with no services charges.
Continued assistance from the City of St. Paul to other
police agencies will be difficult in the future, however, ,
in part because of fiscal constraints which have curtailed
their efforts.
The medicolegal investigative system involves the discipline�
of forensic pathology, criminalistics, and general investi-
gation. Ramsey County presently does not operate its
medicolegal investigation system using the skills, know- �
ledges and resources of a forensic pathologist. Rather,
the County has chosen to operate through a County Coroner
system without any requirements that the Coroner or his/ ,
her staff be certified forensic pathologists.
GOALS: 1 . to research inequities of resources,
2. to support effective cooperative efforts to jointly �
use resources existing in Ramsey County, and to
provide a� firm financial base for such services, ,
including a fee schedule for services where such is
appropriate,
3. to assess Ramsey County's present approach to handling ,
medicolegal investigations in terms of its advantages
and disadvantages, and
4. to assist in improving the medicolegal investigative �
services available in Ramsey County.
STRATEGY: For FY 1980 no projects have been identified for funding �
within the Annual Action Plan. However, a detailed
management assessment of the Ramsey County Coroner's
Office was recently conducted by Coordinating Council �
staff at the request of the County Board of Commissioners.
This study recommended, among other things, that a Medical
Examiner System be adopted. �
Implementation activities will be considered during 1979-
1980 as part of the Coordinating Council 's ongoing planning
activities. ,

PROGRAM 11 : Communication and Information Systems �
This program area assists law enforcement agencies in the development and
improvement of comxnunications and information systems. �
PROBLEM: Police records and communication systems are not
operated on a joint, coordinated basis to the ,
fullest extent possible, nor are the joint service
programs now in operation meeting the full service
needs of the participants.
GOALS: 1 . to support development of 911 emergency �

2. to encourage establishment and maintenance of a ,
thoroughly coordinated public safety communi-
cations system
3. to monitor and assist in efforts to improve the ,
public safety communications system in Ramsey
County �
4. to encourage establishment and maintenance of a
thoroughly coordinated public safety records/
information system �
STRATEGY: The St. Paul-Ramsey County Criminal Justice Coordinating
Council has addressed the goals listed above by including �
two projects in the Annual Action Plan for FY 1980
funding. One of the projects, Acquisition of Mobile
Radio Units, will assist five suburban police agencies
in making specific improvements in the quality of their ,
communication services. Another project, Management
of Police Records Services in Suburban Ramsey County,
will enable a general management assessment to be ,
conductea of police communications/records services
in Ramsey County (excluding the City of Saint Paul )
and suggesting a means for strengthening those services.

, a specified published report, agency records , another aqency's data� . The problem
statement should �e related to the target population this project will serve. In
. documenting t��e problem please provide facts regarding the target population that
, are related to the problem.
During the past five (5) years the Governor's Commission on Crime Control has placed a
high priority on a complete upgrading of law enforcement radio communications in the
, State of Minnesota. Most outstate agencies had had a dire need for radio improvements.
Due to this need, the outstate agencies were generally equipped first. The last two
counties to receive grants for equipment were Ramsey and Hennepin Counties. In the
, process of upgrading Ramsey County, instead of an all new system, it was felt that
thirty-five (35) mobile units already in service could be modified.
The units that were modified failed to perform in an acceptable manner. This problem
, was called to the Minnesota Radio Review Board's attention. It was determined a
further modification was necessary to correct the problem. The Governor's Commission
on Crime Control authorized a grant to correct this malfunction. This modification
was attempted on several of the radios. It developed that ten (10) mobile units in I
, the service of the White Bear Lake Police Department could be modified, however, due
to the other twenty-five (25) being older units, they could not be modified.
, The units with the problem are in the service of the following departments:
Roseville (8)
Maplewood (6)
, New Brighton (6)
Mounds View (3)
Ramsey Sheriff (2)
, When these technical prohibitions to modification were discovered, it was again called
to the attention of the Governor's Crime Control Board. At this point in time the

time lapse taken in the grant process required a new grant application to repair
these radios at the local level. In view of the original grant expiring and funds ,
are no longer availab�le through that means, this application is submitted.
The original upgrading has been a long-standing top priority goal of the Governor's
Crime Control Commission. This need for new units has been reviewed and recommended ,
by the Minnesota Radio Review Board. To completely make the Ramsey County
communities ,involved a reliable part of law enforcement radio communications in
Minnesota, this grant is essential. ,

' PROBLEM STATEMENT AND DOCUMENTATION OF NEED �
Clearly describe the problem this project is expected to address. Provide supporting
facts and figures to document the problem. Indicate the source of data cited (e.g. ,
a specified published report, agency records, another agency's data� . The problem
statement should be related to the target population this project will serve. In
documenting the problem please provide facts regarding the target population that
are related to the problem.
Two police supportive services which serve to facilitate effective police action are
the (1) communication system, and (2) the record-keeping system. • Needed is an
appraisal of these two elements of the total police information processing network,
particularly how they inter-relate. Specifically:
A. Police co►�nunication service presently is provided by the Ramsey County Sheriff's
Department to Moundsview, New Brighton, and Roseville's police agencies. A modest
� fee is charged for this service. The Sheriff's Department also provides full
police service to seven other suburban cities through contractual agreement. Fire,
ambulance and other emergency service communications also are procured through th
existing communication centers. Questions have arisen as to the level and extent
of services provided, the quality of such services, and the means by which the
service should be administered. A joint po��ers agreement calling for establishment
of a management board to oversee this program has been signed (late 1977) but the
body remains inactive, in part because cities not a part of the servi�e have a ro
in its management by terms of the agreement. Maplewood and White Bear Lake provide
thei�r own communication services with North Saint Paul contracting from the forme
�ior some assistance. �osts of providing these services on an independent basis
have been increasing, cailing attention to the need for consideration of alterna-
tives.
Required implementation of 911 emergency telephone service by 1982 raises additio
al questions as to whether four 911 centers are appropriate in Ramsey County (as
the plan currently provides) or whether fewer centers would be feasible.

PROEJCT DESCRIPTION FORM

CRIMINAL JUSTICE COORDINATING COUNCIL NEW PROJECT
� Problem Statement & Documentation of Need (Continued)
Technical questions have been addressed in earlier consulative efforts. What
, is needed now is a realistic, management plan capable of implementation.
� 6. Police agencies within Ramsey County share common information needs and have
� common information reporting requirements to the state and other agencies. Each
agency adheres to its own work procedures, uses forms of its own choosing, and
the like. There is limited formal information sharing on a planned, systematic
basis. Rather, information related to specific work problems is shared as
� . circumstances require. Further, limited use is made of the communications center
in controling and managing records informations, in part because the communi-
cation centers serve, except in one instance, multiple jurisdictions. No
, effective means has been developed for linking the comnunications/records systems
together where such links appear both feasible and desirable. On the other hand,
there is no clear agreement/understanding of what constitutes a unique "agency"
record requirement and what might serve multiple agency requirements. �
, Also, no analysis has been made as to how implementation of a 911 emergency
telephone system will effect records management requirements. Moreover, each
� agency has possible data processing needs, some or all of which could be
achieved through a shared means�. Examples include administrative reporting
requirements related to equipment costs, staffing patterns and the like.
Needed as well is an assessment of crime analysis requirements, a service
, generally not available to the suburban communities.

FY 1980 LEAA Plan
, PROGRAM 12: The Judiciary and Court Administration
� This program area addresses the need for increased efficiency in the operation
of the courts, by implementing projects designed to improve court administration.
PROBLEM: An excessive amount of Ramsey County Municipal Court
� time is spent addressing minor traffic and parking
offenses. Currently, the volume of minor traffic and
parking offenses requires the municipal court to expend
, excessive person-power hours and creates scheduling
backlogs. The participants at the 1978 Goal Setting
Conference identified this problem and suggested that
� it be addressed administratively.
There currently exists an independent family court and
a juvenile court. P�atters concerning family members
I � are often heard by judges with different degrees of
information on the background of the situation. Members
of one family may be confronted with problems relating
� to alcoholism, mental commitment, incest, or delinquency
and never have treatment that reflects the entire pro-
blem.
� It is unknown whether offenders succeed or fail in pro-
grams that continue to be selected as sentencing alter-
natives by judges. There seems to be a minimal amount
� of accountability of programs dealing with sentencing
alternatives. The difficulty in not knowing which kind
of ineasurements to utilize is an obvious problem.
Judges may desire some type of information concerning the
, efficiency of particular organizations vis-a-vis specific
types of clients. This problem was identified by parti-
cipants at the 1978 Goal Setting Con�erence.
, Scheduling and notifying involved parties in municipal
and district court cases are not always accurate and
are excessively time consuming. The district and muni-
, cipal courts have many cases they must schedule. In these
cases, there are various people they must contact and
coordinate for each case. The manual method currently
, used may not always be accurate and oftentimes the
schedule is congested. This problem was identified at
the 1978 Goal Setting Conference.
� There is no reliable way to collect pending charges
against an individual client prior to sentencing to
the Workhouse. There may be several actions pending
� against a client that the prosecutor or judge may not
be aware of. There may be some benefit to the Judge
to have this type of knowledge in sertencing where
� there is either a similar type of charge or a desire to
sentence concurrently. The benefit to the client would
be that he/she would be aware of their release date
�vi�,hout bgin� charged with other counts one or two days

There are efforts being made to accommodate those r
involved in the criminal justice s.ystem who have
language barriers or physical handicaps. The con-
current efforts may not be enough to meet the individual 's
needs. This problem has been identified by the Adjudication/
Diversion sub-committee of CJCC and by the public at large
as well . �
GOALS: Traffic and Parking Offenses:
1 . to minimize necessity of municipal court time and ,
personnel used to address minor traffic and parking
offenses,
2. to seek methods including legislative methods to i
develop more cost/effective alternatives,
3. to study alternative methods which could be utilized �
to insure consistency in handling minor traffic and
parking offenses, and
4. to maintain the adjudication method in contested ,
matters.
Family Services: i
1 . to explore upon request of the court the possibility
of combining subject matters addressed in Family, �
Juvenile, Criminal , and Probate Courts, and
2. to explore in conjunction with the Corrections ,
Advisory Board the possibility of a correctional-
based, full-service counseling program.
Alternative Sentencing Evaluation: ,
1 . to support Ramsey County Corrections Advisory Boar-d's
development of an information system in the area of ,
program evaluation.
Court Scheduling: ,
1 . to encourage the exploration of alternative scheduling
procedures, and
2. exploration of individual judicial calendar so that ,
the pre-trial and trials are heard before the same
judge. �
Collection of Presently Pending Charges:
1 . to support efforts to collect data via an information �

PROGRAM 13: Pre-Trial Services and Procedures r
This program area addresses the need for pre-trial services such as those providing �
intervention in family violence cases and pre-trial releases.
PROBLEM: Many cases are being formally proceeded through the
criminal justice system even though the criminal conduct �
has resulted from an underlying chemical dependency
problem which might be more effectively dealt with
outside the criminal justice system. It is necessary ,
to ease the burden on the criminal justice system by
identifying cases of drug dependency for the purpose
of appropriately handling these cases. This problem
was identified by the 1978 Goal Setting Conference and ,
the Adjudication/Diversion sub-committee of CJCC.
Increasingly effective chemical evaluations of criminal �
justice cases leads to the need for providing treatment
for those persons assessed as being dependent and who
are ordered to treatment by the court. Existing State
Department of Public Welfare, Title 19, Title 20, and ,
HEW guidelines blatantly discriminate against the
criminal justice client.
GOALS: Pre-Trial Diversion: '
1 . to enhance the administration of justice for
chemically dependent clients, and �
2. to support �liminating existing biases in
allocating funds for corrections clients receiving �
chemical dependency treatment.
STRATEGIES: For FY 1980, the St. Paul-Ramsey County CrimTnal Justice �
Coordinating Council identified the Court Screening
Ur�it Project within the Annual Action Plan. This project
will be in its second year during 1980 and is providing
an important service to the Municipal Court. By �
screening cases, r�anagement of the court services is
improved through better preparation of cases and witnesses.
The Coordinating Council has also identified a new ,
project in this program area for FY 1980 funding pending
availability of funds in addition to the FY 1980 Ramsey
County LEAA Part C allocation or availability of private
resources. This project, Community Arbitration, �
addresses needs in resolving neighborhood conflicts that
have come to the attention of St. Paul City departments
and agencies but have not been escalated to court cases. �
Further implementation activities will be identified during
1979-1980 as part of the Coordinating Council 's ongoing
planning activities. �

Summ ra y of Progress to Date:
� Surrmarize the project's major accomplishments to date including evidence of progress
toward stated goals and work program. Provide material supporting this progress. If
the project intends to revise project goals or alter its target group or program
significantly, please describe in detail .
� The Court Screening Unit has been in operation since September 1,
1978. Since October 3, 1978, the unit has reviewed all criminal cases-
. actually charged by the police and those presented for prosecution by
, � the various investigative units of the police department, including
"walk in" complainants in the City Attorney' s Office. The unit has not
started reviewing traf�ic cases as yet.
� All screening has been done according to the policies set forth in
the unit' s charging manual which establishes the criteria for charging
a case,
� According to our log book from October 3, 1978, to December 31, 1978,
we have screened 848 defendants. This count is a count of complaints
or arrests; the actual number of citations or charges is much greater.
� Of this total approximately 200 cases have been finally disposed of,
that is, there has been a determination of guilt or innocence, the case
has been dismissed, or prosecution was declined. Of that 200 cases, 9
� were dismissed prior to the defendant' s first appearance in court for
arraignment. Sixty of the 90 cases dismissed at this time were com-
plaints where the city found insufficient evidence to prosecute. Of th
99 dismissals, only 9 cases were dismissed after a defendant had been
1 arraigned. The reasons for these dismissals included: an agreement
whereby the defendant would undergo medical treatment (1) , the payment
of restitution (1) , the defendant' s being diverted into Project Remand
� (1) and dismissal as part of a negotiated plea agreement. Therefore,
! -39-
�
Summar of Pro ress to Date (cont, ) : �
5 cases at most resulted in dismissals after arraignmen.t because �
of inaccurate charging.
Based upon thes-e figures, it would appear that the Court Screening
Unit has already reduced the number of dismissals for cases which �
are incorrectly charged to less than 5�.
During this same period of time the three screening attorneys
have handled 20 files within the unit where a final disposition �
has been reached. These cases were selected because the defendants
were considered serious offenders or the cases themselves were of a
serious nature. The screening attorney assigned to the case �
handled it at all stages of the proceedings and personally
interviewed the witnesses involved. Of these 20 files only one
actually went to trial beYore a jury and in that case a conviction
was obtained. Pleas of guilty were entered in 16 cases and, of the �
other 3 remaining cases, one defendant was ruled incompetent to
stand trial and the other was diverted into Project Remand when she
agreed to cooperate with the police in the prosecution of a felony ,
arising out of the same incident. Only one case involving a serious
offender was dismissed when it was discovered that the victim had
initiated charges with an improper motive.
The attorneys within the unit have been working with .the ,
Assignment Clerk' s Office to obtain accelerated pretrial and trial
dates on all of the serious offender and serious offense cases. �
Generally, following the entry of a not guilty plea, a pretrial
is scheduled within 10 days (in contrast to about a 3—week delay
on other cases) . Th�e clerk' s office has also been cooperating
with the unit in scheduling trials as soon as possible. This �
has been somewhat complicated by illnesses of two judges and
the jury trial calendar during the Christmas holidays. However,
with respect to the one case that was actually tried, trial was �
commenced 3'7 days after the date of offense. In the 16 cases ,
where pleas of guilty were obtained, the time delay ranged from
zero days on 2 cases to 63 days on l. The average amount of time
that elapsed from date of offense to date of guilty plea was ,
12095 days.
Therefore, the Court Screening Unit has reduced the number of
dismissals for incorrect charges to less than 5%. Cases involving �
serious offenders and offenses are being identified and given
priority both in trial preparation and trial date settings.

The Mayor' s Comp133.nts Office has estimated that 5-7c;
of its annual caseload involves neighborhood disputes not
readily reducible to legal redress. The fact that they are
not legally defined does not lessen their impact on individuals
and neighborhoods . This rougnly produces 350-375 such disputes
annually.
In addition,, ieam Police, Housing Code Enforcement anu
Community Organizers receive many disputes that could reaciily
be resolved by voluntary arbitration.
The resulta�.t diversion of complaints and disputes to
arbitrators would lessen the dependence on courts, court
services and the police department as well as other agencies
of quasi-law enforcement, i. e. Animal Control, Health and
Housing Code.
A similar program in the City of �Zinneapolis involves
a greater crininal� component than envisioned in this project
yet t�ey �zave handled 463 cases through January 1978. The
success of this program may well be amplified by the resoluzion

PROGRAM 14: Prosecution Services �
This program area seeks to implement activities designed to improve the prosecution �
function.
PROBLEM: The full extent of the use of plea bargaining in Ramsey
County is unknown. Also unclear are the effects of plea �
bargaining on the system, the defendant, and the community.
This problem was identified by the Adjudication/Diversion
sub-committee of CJCC. " �
Many court cases are entered into the system only to be
dismissed for lack of follow-through by the parties, or
settled with the encouragement of the court. This �
creates problems with time and financial investments
being made by the court and the parties involved. This
problem was identified by the Adjudication/Diversion �
sub-committee of CJCC.
The cost and the benefits of maintaining separate mis-
demeanor prosecution offices for the various jurisdictions �
within Ramsey County are unknown and need to be explored.
GOALS: 1 . encourage a study defining plea bargaining and its �
. effects on the court system and the corr�nunity.
2. encourage the exploration of the feasibility of a
dispute mediation project functioning within the �
prosecutor's offices.
3. support efforts for a study of the consolidation of �
county-wide misdemeanor prosecution services.
STRATEGY: For FY i980 no projects have been identified for funding _ �
within the Annual Action Plan. As part of the ongoing
planning activities of the Coordinating Council , implemen
tation activities will be identified during 1978-1980.
RELATIONSHIP TO �

� PROGRAM 15: Defense Services
� This program area seeks to implement activities designed to improve defense
services.
� PROBLEM: The volume of cases handled by the Ramsey County Public
Defender's Office prohibits representation, under normal
circumstances, of all those who wish representation.
Also, a lack of resources has existed for those persons
� who do not qualify for Public Defender representation
and yet are financially unable to hire an attorney.
' GOAL: To continue to support efforts of providing defense
counsel for those persons needing representation but do
not qualify for Public De€ender services and are unable
to afford a private attorney.
� STRATEGY: The St. Paul-Ramsey County Criminal Justice Coordinating
Council supports the approach described above by
� identifying the Criminal Defense Services Project to
receive FY 1980 funding. The inclusion of this project
for its third year within the Annual Action Plan enables
defense services to be available to the population
� described above through referring specially trained
private attorneys, paid by a set fee from the project.
The fee is then repaid by the client in installments.

� Surtmarize the project's major accomplishments to date including evidence of progress

the project intends to revise project goals or alter its target group or program
� significantly, please describe in detail .
During Project Year 1978, Criminal Defense Services represented 193
misdemeam�r clients fallinq within our income guidelines. During
� � the same time, we collected $10,924 .62 from clients, while �ayinq
out $I7,979.12 for legal services. ��ihile these fiqures mav make
it appear that our collection rate is noor, a�nroximately $4 .000. of
the difference is not yet due under the client contract.
� The number of referrals from suburban counts, narticularly the
inner rin4 of suburbs, has been minimal. Theoretically, under our
� income guidelines, these areas should be givinq us a areater �r000rtion
of the re.ferrals. There.fore, we will be attendinq night court in the
suburban courts for at least a short period of time, to try to encouraqe
mere referrals.

� PROGRAM 16: Education and Training
This program area addresses the need for statewide training projects for judicial
� and non-judicial personnel .
PROBLEM: The County Attorney, City Attorney and Public Defender
� • offices need to refine their skills in presentation of
scientific evidence. Litigation which involves complex
scientific issues requires intensive attention by
attorneys so they are familiar with the technical sub-
� ject matter and the technique of cross examination of
an expert witness. Attorneys have been attending the
Minnesota Trial Advocacy Institute in Bemidji .
iThe coroner is unable to make full and accurate deter-
minations of death to the degree that is necessary for
� legal litigation. At the request of Ramsey County
Commissioner Schaber, staff of the Coordinating Council
has completed a review of the present coroner's office
capacity to meet the needs of those utilizing the
� coroner's services.
GOALS: 1 . to provide seminars or necessary fees and expenses
� for educational opportunities for attorneys who
are involved in litigation requiring presentation
of scientific evidence,
� 2. to investigate the possibility of continuing legal
education addressing this topic, and
� 3. to research need for improving medical examination
skills in Ramsey County.
STRATEGY: For FY 1980 no projects have been identified for
� funding within the Annual Action Plan. A description
of activities addressing concern for medical examiner
skills is contained in Program Area 10.

STRATEGY: The St. Paul-Ramsey County Criminal Justice Coordinating �
Council supports the concept of offender restitution for
victims and has included a service restitution project
for funding in the FY 1980 Annual Action Plan. The pro- �
ject will be based in the Adult Courts Division of the
Ramsey County Corr�nunity Corrections Department and will
focus on service restitution through coordination with
non-profit community agencies. This project will �
address the strongly articulated needs of community groups
for increased offender restitution.

PROBLEM STATEMENT Af�1D DOCUhtENTATION OF NEED
Clearly describe the problem this project is expected to address. Provide supporting
facts and figures to document the problem.• Indicate the source of data ci �ed (e.g. ,
a specified published report, agency records, another aUency' s dat� . The pr•oblem
statement should be related to the target population this project �•rill serve. In
documenting the problem please provide facts regarding the target population that
are related to the problem.
In recent years there has been a resurgence in restitution programs
across the country and in our county . Much of the effort locally has
gone into revamping our traditional financial restitution program, payin
particular attentiqn to process with the goal in mind of repaying victims
quicker and to a greater percentage of their loss . Along with this
renewed interest have come new ideas entirely as to restitution .This
grant request is based on such an idea .
As stated above , �restitution has traditionally ( Ramsey County)
meant financial restitution . This request is for funds to develop a new
form of non-financial restitution . This new program will respond to the
concern of Judges , diversion counselors , and probation officers that man
persons coming before the courts do not have the resources to pay any
significant amount to the victim of their offense . I.n these instances
it has been unfa�fiP to the victim to promise them a given dollar amount
of restitution and never have it paid . Also , we have some cases where
the opposite situation exists . Certain offenders have so much money
that to repay a few hundred dollars or less has no impact on them at all .
In both cases we strongly believe that to require the offender to
"work-off" the restitution will have a real impact and will give the
court a realistic option at sentencing time which will result in the
"equity" we are seeking in these case•s .

ST. PAUL-RAt�iSEY COUNTY FY 1980 •

� Problem Statement & Docu��;entation of Necd (Continued)
It is our. intent to have offenders do work a.t private non-profit organiz-
� at�ons wfth which the Aduit Division s.taff has comp.leted agreements
of cooperation . The man or woman receiving such a sentence will have �be
number of hours set by the court or , at the court ' s direction , by the
staff person involved . The actual work site will depend upon factors
� such as location of the agency, transportation , experience/skills , and
agency needs .
In terms of people , we believe that one restitution specialist
� working with an aide could effectively manage up to two hundred and fifty
to three hundred cases a year . The impact on the courts and caseloads
of regular agents/diversion counselors will be one �of relieving them of
� the significantly time consuming tasks of arranging and monitoring
placements . Additionally, Judges will have an opt7_on for sentencing even
the petty-misdemeanor offender who , by law, cannot be incarcerated but
� who often has no job or money to pay the traditional fine imposed .
In summary, a service or work restitution program seems to the staff
� of the Adult Division to have many merits . In addition to relieving a
serious burden on existing caseloads , the program allows for persons
aoming in to the courts to be placed in facilities working with the
mentally retarded , the mentally ill , and the physically handicapped . My
� limited experience in this area has shown such an exposure to be
invaluable to the program accepting our client and to the client them-
selves . Further , in these economic times it is more often than not a
� very desirable option for the court to have either a financial
restit�tion or work equity restitution program to consider . Beyond this ,
the involvement of an individual by way of specific time out of their
schedules and their lives seems to have an impact which is remembered .
� Both the Municipal and District Courts of thi�s county will be involved
with this program and are in need of this resource .

criminal justice system (i .e. corrections, courts , lati•r e��force�7ent and juvenile
justice) or cuntrolling cri�ne in St. Paul -R�:�rsey County.
This program will improve the Criminal Justice System by providing a
- realistic and useful sentencinq option to the Judges of the Municipal
and District Courts . It will be particularly useful when a fine is
unrealistic or would have no impact. but incarceration is se�►� too severe
a consequence . (see below *)
2. Provide a five year cost prujection for this p►•oj��ct.
The five year cost projection anticipates an 8% to 10% annual increase
in all costs .
* It will involve the community in a ver.y direct �wa.y because people are
placed in communit.y orqanizations .
3. Have alternative funding sources for this prpject been sought? If yes, provide
details and outcome.
Yes . Private foundations and the CETA proqram are beinq asked to assis
us durinq 1979 . This �rant requests funds as of 1 /1 /80 .
4. Identify the agency, unit of government or organization which will consider
funding this project after its LEAA eligibility has expired.
The onl.y realistic options are State subsid.y fundinq , county funds ,
and possible reassiqnment of personnel .
5. If the project is within City or County structure: LJas project included in the
agency or department's annual budget request? If yes , why ���as it denied? If no
why was it not requeSted at that time?
No . This would be premature in that the program is experimental and
reflects a basically unapproved idea . It is seen as a program which
� would be appropriate for LEAA grant funding .

PROGRAM 196: Institutional Treatment and Rehabilitation ,
This program area addresses the needs for improved prograrnrning in local correctional
institutions and better coordination of community resources which offer services to �
community resources which offer service to inmates. During 1979 this program area
will be revised to better reflect current concerns.
PROBLEM: Refer to 1979 Ramsey County Cornrnunity Corrections Plan, ,
. pages 17-19, Statement of Needs, see Appendix�
GOAL� To provide security, supervision, and treatment of persons ,
corrHnitted by a court to a Ramsey County correctional
institution.
The 1979 Ramsey County Community Corrections Plan defines �
this goal by identifying the following objectives:
WORKHOUSE ,
1 . Workhouse staff will insure that all inmates go
through orientation and classification upon their ,
arrival at the Workhouse during 1979. 80% will
have an appropriate plan of treatment within one
day of arrival and 20� (those arriving on weekends �
and holidays) within three days of arrival .
2. Workhouse staff will establish and maintain staffing
patterns to adequately provide full staff coverage �
on all shifts during 1979, as measured by the state
inspection.
3. Workhouse staff will enable 300 inmates, through the ,
Work Release Program, to keep their jobs while on
sentence to the Workhouse.
4. Workhouse staff will provide tutoring services to 50 ,
functionally illiterate inmates �o significantly im-
prove their reading and writing skills. �
5. Workhouse staff will place 20 skilled and semi-
skilled inmates in appropriate jobs in the Workhouse ,
to maintain or improve those skills.
6. Workhouse staff will prepare, through shop instructions
or on-the-job training, 20 unskilled inmates for ,
employment upon release.
STRATEGY: Implementation will be further identified during 1979-1980 ,
as part of the ongoing planning activities of the Coordin-
ating Council and the Ramsey County Community Corrections
Department and Advisory Board.

PROGRAM 20: Criminal Justice Planning, Research, and Evalution ,
This program area addresses the need for planning, research, and evaluation projects ,
that will assist public officials in decisions related to the criminal justice
system.
PROBLEM: System-wide planning in criminal justice has been ,
insufficient; various issues have reached the decision-
making stage without system-wide effects being con-
sidered. Issues in each criminal justice sub-system ,
were identified in the 1977 Problem Identification
Survey as needing coordination and planning assistance.
Each issue impacts on other areas of the criminal justice
system. Decisions made independent of other concerns �
have not always been based on accurate, timely information.
Improvements and changes in St. Paul-Ramsey County criminal
justice agency budgets must be made through coordinated ,
planning efforts, with emphasis on long-range improvements
of effectiveness in crime control and due process.
There has been a limited capacity to change and improve ,
the criminal justice system through data collection and
the analysis of findings. Trained and/or available
staff for research and resource activities have been ,
extremely limited. Knowledge of developments in the
criminal justice subsystems has not been readily ac-
cessible to all criminal justice personnel . ,
There is no ongoing evaluation tech►�ology available for
criminal justice or other client-serving programs which
receive city/county or federal funds. ,
GOALS: System-Wide Planning:
1 . to improve planning and coordination capabilities for i
the St. Paul-Ramsey County criminal justice system
by supporting intergovernmental planning/coordination
efforts, and ,
2. to support improved internal planning capabilities of
criminal justice agencies in St. Paul-Ramsey County. ,
Research:
1 . to support applied research capabilities and interests ,
of criminal justice agencies, and
2. to improve communications regarding resources through- ,
out the criminal justice system.
Project Evaluation: �
1 . to develop a formative project evaluation model for
LEAA and JJDPA grant projects, and
-64- ,
,
, St. Paul-Ramsey County CJCC
FY 1980 LEAA Plan
, 2. to transfer model to other client-serving programs
through technical training and assistance.
, STRATEGY: For FY 1980, the St. Paul-Ramsey County CJCC included two
projects within the Annual Action Plan. The Criminal
Justice Coordinating Council is a continuation project
, that addresses the goal of criminal justice system
planning and coordination. Coordinating Council staff
will continue to be involved in intergovernmental
� planning activities and the coordination of planning
efforts of criminal justice agencies. Coordinating Council
staff will also provide, upon request, technical assistance
to criminal justice agencies and units of government in
, Ramsey County.
A new project identified for FY 1980 funding in the .
, Annual Action Plan is the LEAA Program Evaluation Model
Implementation Project. This project addresses the
goals regarding evaluation by providing resources for
, technical training and assistance in applying a formative
evaluation model to client-serving programs.
The Coordinating Council identified a third project for
, funding in this program; the project is included in the
Annual Action Plan but would not be funded within the
current FY 1980 Part C allocation for Ramsey County.
, A Court Space Management Study is proposed to be conducted
in conjunction with a management study of Ramsey County
a dminis tra tive an d pr o g r a m s p a c e n e e d s. T h e p r o p o s e d
study would include space management of Ramsey County
� criminal justice agencies and offices.
RELATIONSHIP TO
, STATE AND REGION: The problem statements and goals are consistent with the
State Crime Control Planning Board updated 1978 Plan and
the Metropolitan Development Guide's Law and Justice
, Chapter.
PROJECT MONITORING: Monitoring of these projects is the responsibility of the
St. Paul-Ramsey County Criminal Justice Coordinating
, Council .

� CJCC EVALUATION PROJECT .
Problem Statement
Relevant and timely information about client program outcomes is essential to the
, planning and management of criminal justice programs, where the expectation is that
client behavior will be changed, IrJithout a means to capture infor►nation about client
outcomes, local officials and program managers have no valid basis for knowing if a
, program is achieving its objectives.
But there are barriers to establishing a process for capturing client outcome data.
First, the technology is not well known in the human services. Much of the program
, evaluation being done - particularly in criminal jsutice programs - is surrnnative
evaluation which, while increasing knowledge about the broad impact of programs, does
nto generally provide timely information which is immediately useful to program
, managers. Formative evaluation, on the other hadn, is a process for monitoring
program outcomes which periodically compares program performance ac�ainst a pre-
established standard, or against prior performance, or both.
� A second barrier to formative evaluation is the tendency to "shotgun" program services
at the client or "target" population �vithout regard for program structure, or mission,
or purposes. Identification of the mission, goals, objectives, and program structures
� is a sweaty, labor-intensive task which requires expert guidance.

PROEJCT DESCRIPTION FORM
ST. PAUL-RAMSEY COUNTY FY 198Q ,
CRIMINAL JUSTICE COORDINATING COUNCIL NEW PROJECT
Probiem Statement & Documentation of Need (Continued) �
A third barrier to formative evaluation - or indeed, any eyaluation - is the belief
that evaluation is synonamous with external controls. Th1s belief has led program ,
managers to be fearful and suspicious of evaluations and evaluators� To be �ure,
traditional evaluation is something that was done to program managers� who
frequently did not understand the purpose, structure or outcome of the ev�luat�on� �
But formative evaluation is done with and for program managers, v11th emphasis on
feedback and knowledge of results which wi�help management t4 make good decision$.
The more effective utilization of evaluation is a major objective of the model , Our �
assumption is that the utility of evaluation data is a function of t�ming, relevance,
reliability, and display. The model will fulfill each of these funct�ons.
The CJCC is currently identifying an integrated model for formative evaluation which ,
will have the potential to be transferred to a broad array of corrections programs.
• The model will be largely contained in a handbook which will facil�tate transfer to
other programs. However, full transfer of the model will require technical assist- �
ance from staff who are familiar with the detailed requirements of the model .
Presently, no resources exist to sustain such a technical assistance effort.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE COORDI�lATING COUNCIL NEW PROJECT
� ProbTem Statement & D_oc_umentation ,of Need (Continued)
�
Despite the current remodeling of court space on the 16th
floor of the Courthouse, new� arraignment and office space for
� the County Municipal Court at the Adult Detention Center, and
a recently constructed Juvenile Service Center; the courts have
significant additional short range and long range space needs
Ioccasioned by a number of factors :
Caseload increases. In many areas , case filings have
� consistently increased over the past few years . Heavy
caseload increases have been particularly experienced in
Farnily Court matters, District Court jury cases , and
misdemeanor actions in the County A4unicipal Court. In .
� County Municipal Court, as an example, �nearly 51 , 500 cases
were disposed of in 1977 , an 11 percent increase over the
previous year. These increases in, caseloads have occasioned
� � demands which can not be met by existing judicial resources ;
thus, necessitating the use of vis�iting and retired judges
The ability to utilize extra judges , however, is dependant
on the availability of adequate court facilities. Often,
� make-shift space has to be _.:arranged . as is the situation
in early January, 1979 : The District Court has been
for�unate enough to retain the services of Retired �Judge
� Archie Gingold since mid-1978 , which have assisted greatly
in reducing case backlogs . In 1979, for the month of January,
it was also possible to schedule Retired Judge Rol3off to
� work with the court. Since space is quite limited, Judge
Rolioff must share chamber space w�.th Judge Hachey, and when
that presents a problem; he must �rfice in the Judges
conference room or a jury deliberation room. Additionally,
' there is no adequate space for court repoxters for either
Judge Gingold or Judge Rolbff. �
' Inter- 'urisdictional use of 'ud es. The Court Reorganization
Act of 1977 provides for the lexible assignment of judges
within and between judicial districts. In Ramsey County,
County l�iunicipal judges have been "assigned to hear Family
' and Juvenile Court matters, and, also, have been scheduled
to handle both criminal and civil District Court cases. A
number of constraints are placed on schedul"ing these matters
� primarily due to the � limited space available for hearings and
trials
�

Increase in space requirements for court support functions . ,
With the growth of caseloads, court support staff has increased
to keep pace �aith the rising work volumes. New programs
have been implemented over recent years in community corrections , �
bailiff support, data processing, and court management
(i.e. Judicial District Office) which have expanded space
needs. With limited space available in the City-County �
Cour.thouse, the County has often been forced to rent space
in nearby private office buildings. I
Space dislocations for the ublic. Space available to� the '
public when con ucting uszness with the courts is often
inadequate. Public i�aitino and conference space for the
Family Court is extremely meger, routinely requiring �
attorney-client conferences in hallways and court reporter
offices. A jury study is presently being cbndueted by the
court which will include recommendations for short and
long range chang�s in facilities for the juror assembly room, '
and jury deliberation rooms. Attorney conference room
space is quite limited throughout the Courthouse, which
effects case seheduling in criminal pretrials as well as other �
matters . Another area of concern frequently mentioned
by those working �vith the court is the lack of space far
witnesses in both County Municipal and District Courts. �
tiVith these problems in mind, it is proposed that a study be
conducted addressing the short and Iong term space needs of the
Courts of the District (Ramsey County) in conjunction with the ' _
County Board and the Office of the County Executive Director.
It is recognized that an assessment of court space utilization '
and needs cannot be addressed in isolation from the space needs
of non-court-related Ramsey County functions . It is anticipated
that this study could be coordinated with the review of space
needs for the County in general. '

� PROuRAM 21 : Criminal Justice Information Systems
This program area assists in the development of an integrated information
, system to aid in the flow of information between sub-systems.
PROBLEM: There is no central , integrated, computerized information
� system for criminal justice agencies in St. Paul/Ramsey
County. There is a lack of coordination of information
that flows through each of the criminal justice sub-
systems. This problem was confirmed in the 1977 Problem
� Identification Survey and the 1978 Goal Setting Conference.
The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council has organized
� an integrated criminal justice information s�rstem
corr�nittee which will be directing its efforts to examining
the present information exchange and the options which may
be available for future improvements.
� GOALS: 1 . to support efforts to assess the feasibility .and
desirability of a central computerized information
� system involving all sub-systems of the St. Paul-
Ramsey County criminal justice system, and
2. to support efforts for automated court scheduling.
� STRATEGY: For FY 1980, a continuation project, St. Paul-Ramsey
County Criminal Justice Management Information System
� Study, is included in the Annual Action Plan. Funds
for the project are not, however, included within the
current FY 1980 Part C allocation for Ramsey County.
Additional Part C funds and/or private funds will be
, sought to continue this projec�.
� RELATIONSHIP TO
� STATE AND REGION: The problem statements and goals are consistent with
the State Crime Control Planning Board updated 1978
Plan and the Metropolitan Development Guide's Law and
� Justice Chapter.
PROJECT MONITORING: Monitoring will be the responsibility of the St. Paul-

� PROGRAM 22: Victim/Witness Programs
This program area addresses the need for coordinated services offered to victims
� and witnesses of crimes, including the use of r.estitution:
PROBLEM: Assistance for victims and witnesses of crime is
� available for residents in a� quarter of St. Paul
at this tirr�. Requests for these services have
come from all areas of Ramsey County.
� There has been increasing interest in and concern
for victims and witnesses of crimes. Two projects,
which began in St. Paul during early 1978, offer
� assistance to victims and witnesses in the south-
western area of the city. Emergency crisis
services are available as well as a follow-through
� for court proceedings and crime prevention
education. This type of assistance can have a
significant impact on all parts of the criminal
� justice system by balancing the concern for the
offender with that concern for the victim.
The extent of assistance should be carefully
considered.
� GOALS: 1 . to research program needs,
� 2. to coordinate existing resources,
3. to support the current policy that newspapers
- not publish the names of victims or witnesses
� of crimes,
4. to support victim/witness assistance program
� development,
5. to encourage 24-hour victim/witness assistance
services,
� 6. to moni tor and eval uate prograrr�ni ng,
� 7. to train existing criminal justice personnel
in methods of victim/witness assistance,
8. to ensure all victim/witness assistance services
� be coordinated system-wide, and
9. to ensure that space is available in the court-
� house for victims and witnesses called for
proceedings in both municipal and district
courts.

PROBLEM STATEMENT AND DOCUMENTATION OF NEED
Clearly describe the problem this project is expected to address. Provide supporting
facts and figures to document the problem. Indicate the source of data cited (e.g. ,
a specified published report, agency records, another aqency�'s dat� . The problem �
statement should be related to the target population this project will serve. In
•' documenting the problem please provide facts regarding the target population that
are related to the problem.
The fact that many individuals are plagued by a ^fear of crime" is evidenced by recent
findings of Saint Paul's Team Police Evaluation Unit• This evidence, as publish�d in
their I�terim Evaluation Report, i'ssued in June, 1979, shows that 55 percent of Saint
Paul's residents indicated that they "do not feel safe in their own neighborhoods at
night"• A widespread fear of crime, regardless of whether that fear is warranted based
upon the level and extent of actual crime, could have a pernicious impact upon success
ful prosecution• That is� if witnesses are not willing to come forward, and if victim
{who also may be witnesses} remain vulnerable and forgotten, prosecution resulting in �
'conviction becomes mor� tenuous- ' �
The Crime Victim Crisis Center {CVCC} is a service organization designed to augment
access to, and understanding of, the criminal �ustice system for victims and� witnesses-�
To diminish the potential negative impact of their fear of crime, the Crime Victim
Crisis Center seeks to improve attitudes towards the criminal justice system by the
extension of personal services to victims and witnesses• f1oreover, it seeks to
strengthen the work of the sundry police agencies and prosecutors through the extension.
of these services• This program has been in operation from its Saint Paul location �
since D�cember, 1977•
The CVCC is organized as a unit of Correctional Services of f1innesota. The State �
Department of Corrections has contracted with Correctional Services of Minnesota to
carryout the activities provided by the Crime Victim Crisis Center• The Center has
an operating budget of approximately $109,000� 80 percent of which stems from the

mately $14,DOO to reco�er overhead and related adm�n�strative expenses.
� In its first 10 months of operation 1�018 separate cases have been handled by the
CJCC, principally in the Uest 7th Street Community of Saint Paul, �nd through those
areas served by the B-4 and 8-6 Team Police areast Twenty-one percent of the cases
� �andled by the Center originated in the former area and 65 percent in the latter..
The balance of the caseload - 15 percent � originated elsewhere in Ramsey CountyR
No outreach effort to Suburban Ramsey County is made, however. The caseload handled
� � outside the City of Saint Paul is ^walk^in^ business, Nearly all af this caseload
has focused on victim/witness assistance.
Forty-five percent of the victims served by the Center made �nitial contact within
three days after their victimization, about nine percent the same day• PJearly 60
� percent of the clients contact the unit on a one-time only basisz with 45 percent
of the victims served suffering the consequences of a burglar�• Twenty percent were
• subject to assaults, some nine percent other property crimes� and about six percent
� not really the subject of a crime but requiring assistance nonethelesst An array of
other crimes filled out the picture� each with small percentages.
Witnesses were served in 35 specific situations, one case of which endured for nearly
� a year• Provided is babysitting service, transportation, courtroom ass�stance of
non-legal nature, contacts with employers, and the like• Victim assistance includes
• tr.ansportation, crime scene assistance {e�g., enclosing a broken wi.ndow�� contacts
, with members of the victim's family or friends, and related considerations�
These services have been available for approximately one year� Principally in Saint
Paul• Needed now is an extension of these services county wide� and particularly
� ' their extension to special populations groups such as the handicapped. Federal. and
state law now mandates the ^mainstreaming" of the handicapped whenever feasible �nta
the regular society, thereby heighben�n� their ex�osure as victims andfor witnesses•.
� � Already vulnerable, there is the need to _provide �reasonable assistance to these
special Fopulations to facilitate achievement of the maintstreaming efforts•
� Assistance for these special population �roups requires particular attention in Saint
Paul/Ramsey County because this area has become a state-wide service center for the
handicapped• For exarr�le, the Saint Paul Society for Blind operates a comprehensive
rehabilitation center in downtown Saint Paul, one of three such centers in the state•
� Of the 42,�00 individuals in the state who are blind or have significant visual
impairments, a substantial percentage reside in the Twin Cities area and use the
St• Paul Center• Additionally, there are a number of resources within the County
� designed to service the special needs of the hearing impaired• Examples include the
Petra Howard House {the only half-way house in the state which serves the deaf with
a history of rt�ntal illness}, the St• Paul Rehabilitation Center {which serves the
deaf with multiple handicaps}, St• Paul-Ramsey Hospital {which has the only mental
� health center in the state servicing the deaf}, United Hospitals {especially at
Miller which has a special center for outpatient care and oarenthood classes for the
hearing impaired}, and the St• Paul TVI {which has a substantial student body of
hearing impaired and is as well a training center for interpretors for/of the deaf
� and likely will be designated one of 12 national training centers for interpretors}.
Additionally� the St• Paul public school program has a siqnificant outreach program
to children with hearing impairments, with one-half the student participation in that
� program coming from outside the City� Unfortunately, no precise figures are available

PROJECT DESCRIPTION FORM =
from any
source as to the number of individuals with visual or hearing impairments �
who reside or work within Ramsey County• Only statewide or regional estimates are
available• Thus, one aspect of any outreach effort will need to develop more �
precise data•
This growing number of individuals in Ramsey County poses several unique problems �
to the criminal justice system• As victims and.witnesses {or the parents� spouses
or dependents of those who are} the hearing impaired require specialized interpretive
services in order to comprehend and relate to that system. Such assistance is not
readily available• Similar kinds of problems and exposures are present for the blind �
as well• What is neede� now is to further develop and sustain the resources of the
Crime Victim Crisis Center, and extend those services throughout the County, parti-
cularly to those individuals in need of specialized attention such as the hearing �
impaired and the sightless-
Some individuals with significant hearing impairments have working vocabularies of
between 400 to 600 words, a significant barrier to communication under any circum- �
stances. If such an individual became a victim or witness, special communication
skills would become essential in order to garner their information• The blind have
a communication problem of a different sort; that is, how to serve as ^eye witnesses^ �
and achieve credibility with police and prosecution personnel in such endeavors•
This requires sensitivity on the part of criminal justice personnel to ask the proper
questions to illicit the information a blind individual may possess• The CVCC, �
through the funds sought here, would seek to address these and comparable problems•

fPROGRAM 23: Crime Opportunity Reduction Systems
This program area seeks to study factors related to the occurences of crime, in
� order to form strategies designed to decrease opportuntiies for criminal behavior,
thereby reducing crime.
� PROBLEM: An awareness of crime prevention has become more evident
among community groups in both suburban and St. Paul
neighborhoods. New comnunity programs and increased
requests for information and training are among the
� indications of this concern. The St. Paul Team Police
Program has prompted further citizen interest in working
with the police. Similar information is not yet avail-
� able from Roseville's approach to a team police effort,
however. The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council
Problem Identification Survey (1977) indicated that
improving the public's awareness of crime prevention
� responsibilities was a key element in making any signifi-
� cant improvements in reducing the crime rate (72 percent
of those responding). The CJCC Goals Setting Conference
� concluded with a high priority emphasis on co�nunity
based crime prevention programning.
GOALS: 1 . to work with government and �planning officials to
� develop long-range crime prevention strageties,
2. to seek information as to the concerns and interests
� of neighborhood areas regarding problems of criminality
in the specific neighborhoods,
� 3. to encourage comnunity groups to establish crime pre-
vention programs in response to specific identified
problems, and
� 4. to monitor and evaluate crime prevention strategies.
STRATEGY: For FY 1980 no project has been included in the Annual
� Action Plan. A lengthy and intensive planning effort
has recently been completed which developed a St. Paul
Community Public Safety/Crime Prevention Plan and a
grant application for federal LEAA discretionary funds.
� The program recorrunendations emphasize revision of City
policies and procedures to be more supportive of public
safety/crime prevention concerns and a city wide project
� implemented through the Police Department to generate
community based crime prevention projects in conjunction
with the St. Paul District Councils. Development of
crime prevention curriculum for upper elementary and
� junior high students was also recommended.

� PROGRAM 24: Family Violence
This program area seeks to promote coordination among services concerned with
afamily violence; and to provide services such as training and education for
families with problems.
� PROBLEM: There has been lacking in Ramsey County a fully coor-
dinated approach on the part of public and private
agencies to serving clients from violent family
� situations. Eve� the types and number of agencies or
actors involved must be seen more broadly than before,
to include beyond social service and welfare agencies
the school systems, police departments, medical repre-
� sentatives, the judiciary prosecution services, cor-
rections, and community groups. As resources increase,
they must be made aware of and work with existing
� services. As an example, a special project within the
Ramsey County Welfare Department, Adolescent Abuse
Intervention, coordinates counseling services with the
� school systems to provide more comprehensive attention
I � to abused adolescents.
GOALS: 1 . to encourage and support family violence projects
� based upon coordination of existing services and
improving existing services,
2. to encourage and support projects that would identify
� and fill gaps in services for violent families, and
3, to encaurage services for .all family members involved
� in violent situations.
STRATEGY: For FY 1980 no projects have been included in the Annual
Action Plan addressing this program other than the
� second year Adolescent Abuse Project, further described
in Program Area 1 .
� RELATIONSHIP TO
STATE AND REGION: The problem statements and goals are consistent with the
State Crime Control Planning Board updated 1978 Plan and
� inherently consistent, although not addressed, with the
Metropolitan Development Guide's Law and Justice Chapter.

, Statement of Need �
The extensive review process described earlier identified many needs in the
correctional system. Also used in the review was an initial needs assessment
, based on the clientele of each program. Of particular importance are the needs
identified for clients as they enter the mainstream of the correctional system.
The juvenile and adult court divisions' assessments of needs are the only areas
where all mainstream correctional clients' needs are assessed.
, The charts on the following pages identify the ongoing and unmet needs to be
provided for by each program recommended for £unding. These charts identify
� the program, the number of clients served during 1977, and the anticipated needs
to be served in 1979. These services are essentially the same as those provided
during 1978.
