These tips will assist you in answering the questions that follow. Successful applicants will demonstrate an in-depth under- standing of collaborative problem-solving techniques. 1. Probiem Description Describe the problem selected on the previous pages (p. 4 or 5) by answering the questions below. (Note: If the type of problem on which you wish to focus is very broad, such as drug dealing, you should concentrate your efforts on hot spots in a ' targeted area, rather than attempt to address a citywide, drug-dealing problem. This grant initiative will not fund applications that propose to eliminate large citywide problems, such as drug dealing and gang activity. However, under some circum- stances, an applicant may propose to address`an aspect of a drug problem or other large problem on a citywide basis. For example, an applicant could focus on 30 drug houses citywide, if it appears at the outset that a source of the problem is a law relat- ing to leases, maintenance, or an opportunity to abate.) a. Specific location of the problem:iTniversi tv Avenue between Marion and Snelling Avent (For example, this could be a 10-block area in the southwest corner of town; or the down- town business district; or a specific public housing complex;or the entire municipality, if yoa� intend to address a specific problem on a citywide basis.) b.

What specifically appears to be occurring with respect to this problem? , (Include any readily available data on the problem, the length of time it has been a problem, specific behaviors related to the problem, secondary problems (if any), and other descriptive information.) The Southeast Asian Community has established University Avenue as the site for their commercial district in the City of Saint Paul. This large population of emigres to the city brings with them a deep distrust of government and financial institutions. Therefore, they do not report crimes to the police when they occur. And, due to the presence of cash in their businesses and the popularity of wearing gold jewelry, both as a sign of wealth at as an investment, they have become attractive targets for criminals. The collective person- ality of the Southeast Asian is more laid back and passive than the African-American persor ality. The area is home for the African American community in Saint Paul, and the area ha� been their home for many generations. Tension is developing between the two cultures and the area is also the hub of activity amongst the gang activities within the two groups. e. Is the problem related to any of the following? (check all that apply) �7 Gangs O Firearms �7 Youth O Domestic Violence (Your answer will help us track these types of efforts, which relate to other COPS initiatives already in progress.) f. How do you know the problem is a priority for the community, as compared to other problems in your jurisdiction? The Mayor of Saint Paul, Norm Coleman and his administration have been focused on an econom= turn around for the City of Saint Paul which had been following the trends of other larger more eastern cities which are in serious decay. Saint Paul, a city of neighborhoods, reliE on the small neighborhood business as the backbone for its economy and vitality of its neighborhoods. Not only does the neighborhood business contribute to the liveability of tY immediate community, it also provides jobs for the family members, In Saint Paul, 500 of r 2600 food handling licenses (restaurants, grocery stores, etc.) were issued to Asian businesses.

Malyzing the Problem Describe plan for analyzing the problem (very important). What additional questions about the underlying nature of the crime or disorder problem need to be answered before you can develop new and effective, tailor-made responses to the problem? In other words,what questions, if answered, will provide a much more complete pic- ture of the nature, causes, and extent of the problem? Application Form:Problem-Solving Partnerships (This page must be returned to the COPS Office.) 9 For the problem you have selected, please provide a list of at least five questions about each of the following: a. victims, b. the crime environment, and c. offenders. Several of these questions may address the interactian among victims, offenders, and the crime environment. For example, a question about a location may include offend- ers (e.g. "What is attractive about the corner to drug dealers?"). These questions do not need to be answered at this time; most applicants will spend the first phase of their problem-solving project collecting data about the problem to answer these questions. See "Problem-Solving Tips" for additional information on analyzing prob- lems and developing a list of questions. Please feel free to attach additional (or longer) questions on a separate sheet. All attached sheets must be labeled with your agency's legal name, ORI# and state. If you have selected one specific problem location that is experiencing multiple, relat- ed problems (such as a school or park), please develop separate analysis questions for one or two of the most pressing or central problems at the location. a. Victims (or other involved/affected parties in disorder problems and "victim- less" crimes) Questions relating to victims that need to be answered for your project (please list) Q: What are the cultural practices of the New Americans which make them prone as crime victims and subject to harassment?

Best Example of a Past Problem-Sohring Effort If your policing agency has not previot�sl� i�ndertaken a problem-solving effort, please indi- cate this below and then skip to Qicestion #7. �Z Application Form:Problem-Solving Partnerships(This page must be returned to the COPS Office.) Saint Paul Police Department 0620900 MN � � q � -�tss Question# 6 The ACOP program is an on-site police operation whose goal is the elimination of drugs and gangs in four public housing developments. ACOP is a collaboration among the following partners: SPPD, Public Housing Administration, Boys and Girls Club of Saint Paul, City Pazks and Recreation Department,Hmong American Partnership and the Women's Association of Hmong and Lao parenting program. Asian gang formation and juvenile delinquency have caused the crime rate to grow over 400% in the Asian and public housing communities. Approximately 70%of family public housing resident households are Southeast Asian. Gang formation in public housing grew from two in 1989 to thirty-one in 1996. The growing gang and resultant drug problem in the Public Housing developments was analyzed and a plan to address the problem was developed. The ACOP program is a two part process. First, the community assists the police department in identifying and removing residents who are involved with illegal activity. Secondly, the preventative part of this program is a coordinated effort of the ACOP partners networking with the efforts of the traditional and non-traditional youth service organizations. Among the programs offered in the public housing developments: a literacy program, recreational activities, drug prevention youth programs, tutoring, mentoring, athletic and cultural programs. Two social workers are available to counsel at-risk youth and parents in crisis and to make referrals for drug treatment as needed. ACOP is an ongoing effort which has been effective in raising the level of trust between the police and public housing residents. The number of direct calls to the ACOP unit has increased 60% over the last four years. This is an excellent indicator of the level of trust the Southeast Asian Community is now placing in the police, considering that they harbor great distrust in authority and the police in particular because of previous experiences in their homelands. Lt. Dan Carlson who has worked with the ACOP program since its inception describes the changes that have taken place in the public housing developements: "At the start of this program we had to reach out to the Southeast Asian people in these communities and let them know that it's okay to talk to police officers. We developed activities for youth and educated the Southeast Asian community as to the role of a police officer who is in a community policing function. This contact between the police and the community can be a very positive thing. Now the Southeast Asian people are reaching out to us when they have problems. Conversely, we would not be able to solve nearly as many crimes without their help. We have a 94% solvability rate of felony level crimes because they are providing our officers with information. It's unbelievable." � °[ C• i �ss Summarize and attach a short description of your policing agency's best collabora- tive problem-solving effort to date. This summary should include: • How you identified the problem; • What you learned while analyzing the problem, and the information sources � you used; • What tailor-made responses were developed and how were they linked to the results of your analysis of the problem; and • How you evaluated the effectiveness of the effort (include any information that demonstrates a measurable impact on one or more aspects of the problem).

Application Form:Problem-Solving Partnerships(This page must be returned to the COPS Office.) �5 Collabowa�tion Agreemer�t (CA) For all collaborative efforts between law enforcement agencies and community-based entities, including municipal agencies, applicants must submit a Collaboration Agreement (unless an applicant is granted a waiver of the partnership requirement ' —see p. 18). A Collaboration Agreement is an agreement between two or more parties whose pur- pose is to clarify roles and responsibilities. Some collaborations may be more formal than others. The level of formality will depend on the nature of the crime problem selected and other local factors. Collaborations that are more formal may involve financial subcontracts and the hiring of joint staff, etc. Collaborations that are less formal may only involve an agreement between two or more parties to work togeth- er to address the chosen problem. � Collaboration Agreements may be submitted in the form of a letter and should address the following: 1. The goals and objectives of the partnership. 2. A clear delineation of the roles and responsibilities of the law enforcement agency and community-based entity. For example, the Collaboration Agreement might address the receipt and disbursement of funds, the respon- sibility for filing progress and financial reports, and the supervision of any joint staff, etc. Or, if it is less formal, it might only indicate that the partner will serve on a problem task force/problem advisory board; help understand underlying causes of the problem, help develop/implement responses to the problem, or help choose measures of success, etc. 3. Parties should delineate decision-making authority and the means for dispute resolution. The CA must be signed by the chief executives of the law enforcement agency and community-based entity(ies). �6 Application Form:Problem-Solving Partnerships (This page must be returned to the COPS Office.)

Summary and Backgrou�d of Unfversity UNITED A. Mission and Target Populat�on , U�ive�sity UNITED is a non-profit organization, 501 (C} (3), consisting of a coa!ition of 7 Distnct Councils and M�dway Cha�ber of Commerce businesses along University Avenue. The mission ot UNITED is t� produce commercial and community econom�c developmeni in the University�,venue Corridor, of the City of St. Paul. Target population: To serve residents, business owners and civic and service organiza;ions in the University Avenue Corridor, extending appr�aximatety 5.5 miles from Highw�y 28�to the State Capitol. B. Organizations SacKground UNITED began as a (oCa) deveiopment Company originally formed in 1980, to � fac+litate a consensus on redevelopment issues regarding University Avenue. The organization's role is unique, due to a hybrid businesslresident board of directors representinc� delegates from each oi the City-certified district councils, three add;tional neight�orhood organizations bordenng Univsrsity Avenue, and four iVlitiway Chamber af Corr�merce delegates. The tax exempt sta!us was received through a series ot mergers. The Hamline-Midway Locai Development Campany was the o�iginal tax sxempt organization which merged with the Univ�rsity-Midway local D�velopment Company. Subsequently, University UNITED and the Unive�sity-t�lidway Ioca1 developm�nt Compa�iy merged. UN1TE0 is the result;ng corporation. Lega1 co�y o[the IRS �e'te;s shows this legitimate succession, .

This will be accomplished by the hiring of a Coordinator, an independent contractor position. The Coordinator will analyze the different elements of the problems of which the New American business owners are concerned, namely: ° harassment by gangs and youth ° distrust of government agencies, especially LIEP ° distrust of the banking institutions which result in their keeping large amounts of cash and gold jewelry on� their persons which result in their repeat victimization ° the underreporting of crime due to the fear of retaliation ° anecdotal reports of racially motivated harassment ° rumors of "protection" extortion tactics by gangsters The Coordinator will be supervised by the Executive Director of University United, an agency which has an excellent and longstanding history of involvement along the University corridor. The field work involving surveys, interviews and other dissemina- tion of relevant material willbe contracted to two student interns_from a local University who are foeused on a relevant field of study. The Coordinator and other appropriate personnel or individuals within the New American business comunity will participate in the COPS Conference for training, networking and additional opportunities. In order for the Coordinator to accomplish basic communication with the New American business community, a computer, printer and other office equipment will need to be purchased along with a basic desk, chair, file cabinet, telephone, pagers, etc. Supplies necessary for the Coordinator and interns will also need to be purchased such as office supplies. Printing of flyers, translation costs into New American languages, meeting room expenses, refreshments, etc. will all be part of this budgetary item. (additional space available on the back of this page) Budget Narrative:Problem-Solving Partnerships (This page or a substitute must be returned to the COPS Office.) 25 The Wilder Foundation will be approached to design an evaluation model for the ENABLE progran Locally situated close by University Avenue, the Wilder Foundation has an international reputation for evaluation and has also been a concerned agency in the community. Additional other costs will include rent and other office expenses for a start-up project. The budget categories have been designed for utmost flexibility due to the need for a creative approach for this singular opportunity. Because of the various cultural differences inherent� in the New American business owner, it may be necessry, for example, for an intern, or the Coordinator to spend a significant amount of time translating City of Saint Paul LIEP regulations. The police department may find it expedient to hold special training classes for sworn personnel who come into contact with the business owners in their day to day respon to calls.
