SPPD�MAS�--SPIP PARTNERSHIP
NARRATIVE
MISSION & HISTORY
Despite limited resources, the City of St. Paul and the St Paul Police Department (SPPD) have
striven to value, understaud and provide worthy services to all the members of out community, with
an emphasis on those communities who face increased barriers to accessing the help and support
they need. The St. Paul Police Department holds several visions for the future, one of wluch is
realized in the intent of this proposal. This proposal would a) greatly strengthen the St. Paul Police
Deparhnent as a resource for, and collaborator with the Muslim American commnnity zs well as, b)
en.sure the Muslim Atnerican community (as %�ith all comm'imties), has culturally- linguistically
appropriate services and information to address the issue of domestic abuse.
In the past year the SPPD has been working with Muslim Amezican leaders to build a strong
ailiance with, and enhance their understanding of the community. In recent months a promising
partnership witb the Minnesota Chapter of Muslun American Society of America (MAS) has been
forged to furthez inteztwine SPPD and MAS's common missions. The St. Paul Domestic Abuse
Intervention Project (SPIP) and St. Paul Police have been collaborating over the past twenry years
to address the crime of domestic violence, as well as the provision of culturally appropriate services.
Examples of their joint efforts aze the development of the Deparnnent of Correc6ons Domestic
Urut, Joint Prosecution Unit, and City Attorney's Domesric Abuse t3nit; establishing the Second
Judicial District Violence Coordinating Council; creating the St. Paul Police Deparnnent's
Fanuly/Sexual Violence Unit, (that oversees all invesfigations and resolution of domestic violence
cases), designing and implementing the Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT),
(enabling advocates and each azm of the system to focus on chronic and highly lethal offenders), as
well as protocols and training resources. It is our belief that the shared vision, strengths and
expertise of our three organizations will as a whole, create a greatly needed program that will
unpact the well-being of our entire community, and act as a model for other communities
throughout the state and on a national level.
The St Paul Police Department (SPPD)
The St. Paul Police DeparlmenYs role is to respond to and invesflgate a11 crimes that occur within
the city 1"units. The department has 600 peace officers and 205 support staff. They have a proven
commitment to maintaining a staff that is reflective of the diversity of the community it serves.
The SPPD has a long, rich history of working towards ending domestic abuse; ranging from
developing and implementing a concentrated domesfic assault enforcement policy to estabiishing a
Family Violence Unit to ovezsee the process by which domestic violence cases are investigated and
brought to successful resolution; facilitating quick intervention with offenders and greater assistance
and protecfion to victnns.
The Minnesota Chapter of Muslim American Society of America (1VTAS)
Established in 2001, this non-profit organizatiQn's mission is to: attain the pleasure ofAllah (God)
by integrating Islam and Muslims into the fabric of American life in a manner consistent with
Islamic values. We strive to contribute to building a diverse, virtuous and tnoral America by
embedding in Muslims a sense of care, responsibility, love, leadership, civic participatson,
citizenship, tolerance & cooperatian and by embedding in the American population a sense of
appreciation and value of the important teachings of Islam.
The goals of MAS MN aze:
• To encourage the participarion of Muslims in building a virtuous and moral society.
o�-� �3
To promote family values in accordance with Isiamic teachings.
To promote the humau values that Islam emphasizes namely brotherhood, equality, justice,
mercy, compassion, and peace.
SPIP
Mission: The Saint Paul Domestic Ahuse Interven�ion Project exists to eliminate violence against
women and their children, and the social and system responses that condone or allow its oppression.
The organization believes thae domestic violence is a crime and every battered woman has the right
to access the criminal justice system, receive safety through the laws that aze designed to protect
her, and obtain the critical support and services she and her children deserve. Ttiey affirm that
battered women must be free to make their own choices, have the right to digvity and possess the
capacity to make sound decisions if free from the violence that obstructs these choices. They
further believe that no one has the right to abuse anyone and no one deserves to be abused
regazdless of gender, race, socio-economic background, age, mental oz physical ability, sexual
orientation, spiritual belief, or partnerlmarital status.
History: The Saint Paul intervenfion Project operates as a non-profit organization to provide direct
advocacy, crisis intervention and support to battered women and their children; facilitate the
system's response to domestic abuse, and provide education, prevention, and outreach to victuns of
domestic violence and the commuruty at lazge. Since its inception in November of 1984 to date the
agency has served over 64 520 battered women tl�rough direct advocacy services. Hundreds more
battered women, members of the community, and women and children with increased barriers to
accessing heip receive culturally specific services, education, prevention, intervention and advocacy
through our programs' services. Annually, over 4 500 battered women receive direct services and
the 24-hour crisis line receives over 9�8�0 calls for support, information and referrals.
PL3RPOSE OF PARTNERSHIP
The more immediate goals for the partnership of MAS, SPPD and SPIP is to cuitivate and nurture a
mutually beneficial relationship built on cultural competeucy, a shazed understanding of the
dynamics of domestic abuse within the Muslim community, and each partners role in improving
public safety and community livability. The broad scope of ttris partnership is to facilitate a
dialogue between the St. Paul Muslim community and St. Paul peace officers that will promote
relationship building beiween the two groups; with the desired by-products that of ongoing
collaborations and issue identification regazding criminal justice system improvement, the Muslim
coznmunity' quality of life, culturally specific crime prevention and greater citizen participation in
promoting public safety. Through dialogue with MAS and SPII', the SPPD has identified domestic
abuse as one of the pzimary crime azeas that will be tazgeted for public educarion, outreach to
victims and improved culturally appropriate law enforcement and battered women's advocates'
response.
'I'his partnership will address the following objectives:
• Increased understanding between law enforcement and diverse communities.
. Increased involvement of citizens working in partnership with government to improve
public safety and community livability.
• Increased comxnunity understanding of the various systems and what they do.
. Increased system accountability to communities.
. Increase in community's role in affecting positive change in clients' behavior.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
NEEDS ASSESSMENT/PLANNING PROCESS
Over the past ten years there has been a sienificant influx of Muslim immigrants into the Twin
Cities who historically did not have a presence in the azea Presendy the Twin Cities has the lugest
Somali communit�' in the nation. It is a grimary resetdement destination for refugees and a
secondary destination for immi�ants coming from their initial resettlement in San Francisco,
Geora a and other states. Consequently, multiple issues of immigraiaon adjustment, cultzual
competency, language accessibility and other factors have become barriers far brid�ng the gap
between the Muslim community, law enforcement and battered women's programs. Public safety
issues for the St. Paul Muslim community run the gambit from crime prevention and safety
planning to domestic assault, robbery and gang related violence.
The vast majority of immigrants from Muslim communities aze as diverse as any other communities
on the face of the earth. The compositions of Muslims in Nlinnesota are of Arab origin, Somali,
Oromo, Sudanese or Asian (Indo-Pakistan region) all these groups have diverse cultural heritage
with only one common identity. They all have common faith in the religion of Islam. These diverse
ethnic groups haue different cultures, lustories, languages and stories of how they came to be in
Minnesota. However, the largest infliix of refugees since 1990's haue come mainly from East
Africa, with the overwhelming majority being Somali, and a distant next largest being Oromo.
MAS estimates that there aze approxunately 80,000 Somalis in the Twsn Cities, while the State of
Minnesota puts the esfimates at azound 45,000 statewide. The difference in counts is due to
secondary resettlement, which is not tracked by the State of Minnesota. Because of the difference
in population numbers it is anticipated that the Somali Muslim community wifl have the greatest
representation in ttris project as dialogue participants, victims of crime, andlor recipients of public
education.
QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DATA
The proposed activities in this proposal aze based on recommendations from coxnmunity-based
reseazch conducted in Minnesota, such as the State of Minnesota's Byrne Advisory Committee. Its
recommendations include promoting local problem-solving partnerslups, imPro`nng coordination
and strategic planning for the criminal justice system, and making the criminal jnstice system more
effective through greater information sharing.
In the February 2005 Phillips Community Crime Prevention Report (funded by The McKnight
Foundation, City of Minneapolis and Heart of the Earth, Inc.} was released with recommendarions
from the Minneapolis Police Department, Twin Cities Somali, Latina and American Tndian
communities. Under section "4. Law Enforcement & Xeltttionship Building", the following
recommendations were made that mirror the proposed activities in this proposal:
"A) Coaununity Policing
1) Work jointlybetween local law enforcement and each cultural communiry.
B) Recruitment of local residentsJyouth for Law Enforcement cazaers.
C) Recruiting Mentors for Youth from Local Law Enforcement Ranks.
F) Regular face-to-face mee5ngs with local commander and key Law Enforcement,
personnel and community members.
1) Monitor progress on (outreach to immigrant Muslim community).
2) Exchange infonxnation on emerging needs and issues.
H) Community-(sensitive) reporting of crimes.
1) Tdentify multiple (methods) where community members can report crimes in
their own language.
2) Community gatherings in support of law enforcement
� � /
3) ...... recognition dinners for excallence in local 1aw enforcement, welcoming of
new officers and raokies assigned to (immigrant Muslim neighborhoods)"
Italics added to denote this proposai's activifies•
Of the same report under the recommendations for social services, the portion dealing with
domestic abuse includes: "a) school age prevention services, b) neighborhood information hubs
with Zocal programs and peer education o oups, c) strong culturaUspiritual component coupTed
with bilingual services, and d� training fop community policing forces. '
The above studp is corroborated by a report published by the Ramsey County East African Task
Force, May 2005. The report was developed based on information received during open invitation
community meetings involving immigrants from many East African countries, held between May 9,
2004 and October 12, 2004. The meetings focused on social issues to include dealing with new
culture, language, economy, wozkplace and lifestyle. Several recommendations were published in
the report (pp 25-27) to include:
A) Develop a series of education progams for staff about East African culture.
B) Hire bilangual / bicultival employees, primarily East African languages.
C) Seek opportunities to patlner with East African leaders and community non-profits.
The three recommendations included in the 2005 Ramsey County East African Task Force report
are woven into the fabric of this proposal. MAS, SPII' and the SPPD have long reco�ized these
needs and find them necessary to the future development of relarionships within this diverse sector
of the community.
The immigant Muslun comnnunity relies heavily on oral communication for the dissemination of
information that affects their daily life. This close-lmit community is guazded in its interaction with
outsiders such as law enforcement and service providers. A key component to this project's success
will be the visible partnership between the Muslim coznmunity (MAS), police (SPPD) and domestic
violence prograzns (SPIP), enabling a transfer of trust and czedibility from the community to the
other partners. The proposed project Steering Committee and cultural circle members will in
essence be goodwill ambassadors for the police deparlment and SPIP, carrying back to the
community their impressions of the project's process and each partner's commitment to success.
CURRENT RESPQNSE & GAPS
After the tragic events of 9f 11, the general publid s perception of the Muslim community has
changed. Musiims are being seen categorically as potential terrorists and threats to public safety.
Racial profiling along these lines has contcibuted to a growing fear and distrust of the police,
uncooperative witnesses and a rise in juvenile crune. There is a growing concern among Muslims,
nationally and locally, that the peaceful co-e�stence of Muslims and non-Muslixns in the U.S. is a
thing of the past. There is a pervasive apathy even among the law-abiding Muslim individuals,
about the relarionship betcveen law enforcement and the Muslim community. Ineidents of police
abuse in other U.S. cities flashed across print and broadcast media can create an impression for a
newly arrived immigrant that police officers are violent and should be avoided at all cost. This lack
of mutual understanding and interaction has kept Muslim immigrants in isolation and peace officers
at a loss as how to best serve ttris community. When one adds to this scenario the large numbers of
new immigrants being resettled in St. Paul, tbe scope of the problem and need for resources grows
exponentially.
Response
Police service provided to -Muslim immigrants has remained limited considering the increase of the
population. Several factprs have conhibuted to this lack of growth to include misunderstanding or
no understanding of police services and perceived feaz of deportation. Addirionally, non-English
speaking victims of crime access law enforcement and battered women's setvices via an interpreter
0� -6�.�
(either by telephone or an appointment with an interpreter). Per interviews with law enforcement
and R.amsey County Domestic Abuse Office, Che immigrant Musiim rAmmunitY is not seeking
Orders for Protection (OFP) or calling 911 during a domestic assault. A traditional method for
responding to domestic abuse within the immigrant Muslim community has beea through an
extended family meeting with a spiritual leader facilitating a process of reconciliation. T7ais method
is by no means failsafe or consistenfly successful in preventing futlu'e domestic abuse. The decision
to seek law enforcement intervenrion battered women's services, emergency shelter or other
options is stacfly an individual choice; but in order to choose, women must l�ow that these options
e�st
Gaps
• East African native speakers - law enforcement and battered women's advocates
• Limited to no laiowledge at the immig�'ant Muslim communit}' level of options for reporting
crimes, intervention in domesiic assaults and covununity-based resources for battered women
and their children
• Lack of cultural competency in Musiim faith and diverse East African cultures within the SPPD
and other community-based agencies
• Lack of culhually appropriate public education materials in East African languages
• Lack of intergreters irained on the dynamics of domestic abuse in the Muslim community and
the coaesgonding nuances in each cultural population
• Limited to no knawledge of how the immigrant Musiim community can become involved in
systems change
PLANNING PROCESS & COMMUNITY TNVOLVEMENT
Several joint meetings of community leaders and law enforcement haue taken place in the past to
address different issues related to community public safety; but there has been no coordinated effort
to eliminate cultural, linguistic, systems and ptocedural bazriers between the Muslim community in
St. Paul and the SPPD. The police depariment has also reached out to the Muslim community,
conducting coxnmunity-building workshops at various lu-rises with large concentrations of Somali
residents (St. Anthony & Afton View}. In response to this RFP, the SPPD met with SPIP to explore
the possibility of a partnership with MAS that would build on the MAS-SPPD Diversity Education
Project, focusing on domestic abuse as its initiat public safety traniing area. Knowledge gaps were
identified for each partner as follows:
. SPPD — cuittu�al competency, traditional Muslun community methods of handling criminal
matters including domestic abuse situations, Somali and other East African police advisors,
multi-lingual public education written and broadcast matetials
. MA3 — legal and community resources for victims of crimes, crime prevention techniques,
inroads for increased citizen participation in community-police relations and community-
based services, public education on domesric abuse
. SpIP - cultural competency, traditional Muslim community methods of handling domestic
abuse situations, native East African Battered Women's Advocates, mulfi-lingual East
African written materials
SCOPE OF PROJECT
Proposed Objectives:
Increased understanding between law enforcement and diverse communities. The three partners
will form a steering committee that will oversee and provide direction to this project. All Steering
Committee members will be English-speaking, with opporCunities for non-English spealdng
comznunity members to provide input to the project through cultural circles. The Steering
Committee will develop a recnutment process to bring Muslnn community members into the polica
��o -���
� department by offering internships, emPloyment as Pazking Enforcement Officers and Commnnity
Liaison Officer designed to lead to positions as sworn police officers.
Increased invodvement of cikzerts working in partnership with government to improve public
safety and community tivability SPPD and SPIP staff will attend �itural Circles formed and
facilitated by MAS, to leam about: community perception of law enforcement, domestic abuse
dynamics in the immierant Muslim community, affects of racial profiling, barriers to aocessing law
enforcement and community basedlbattered women's services, myths related ta crime intervention,
types of public education needed, cultm'al and faith values that need to be incorparated into
domestic abuse intervention services
Increased community understanding of the various systems and what they do. Per Steering
Committee direction and Cultural Circles' input: 1) SPPD will develop and produce public
education materials/PSAs about domestic abuse and other crime intervention responses, role of law
enforcement in public safety, legal remedies and community resources available to victims of
crime; 2) Design and implement a community outreach plan to educate the immigrant Muslun
community in general and victims of domestic abuse specifically on their legal rights, MN law,
legal procedures/remedies and community resources
Increased system accountabi�ity to communities. As the iminigrant Muslim cammunity leams
about its legal rights, law enforcement procedures and legal retnedies they will share a knowledge
base upon which they can draw to create justice system monitoring for their cultural and faith
communities; Ongoing dialogue at Steering Committee and communitY-wide levels that exanune
staristical information related to iinmigrant Muslim community general erime and domestic abnse
911 ca11s, police reports genez'ated, charges{case disposition, OFP petitions filed and/or granted, and
immigrant Muslim battered women utilizing 5PII' services; Two immigant Muslun women from
different culturalllanguage communities will be hired to assist SPIP in designing their Muslim
battered women's program and participate in the hiring process for the program's staff
Increase in community's role in affecting positive change in clients' behavior.
Peer Educator training sessions co-sponsored by all partners for one hundred (100) immigrant
Ivluslim community leaders to promote social change in the way domestic abuse is viewed within
tbeir communities, i.e. it is a crime that is punishable by law; Muslim women have a right to seek
legal and law enforcement remedies to their domestic abuse situation; other immigrant Muslim
community membezs need to support and not blame victims of domestic violence; the peace
officer's role is to protect victims, de-escalate the domestic abuse incident, arrest perpetrator if
probable cause is determined, inform vicYizns of available community resources for shelter and
advocacy, and conduct a case investigation to cbarging as applicable. Topics such as cross-cultural
communication, MN domestic abuse laws, and a culturaliy appropriate Power & Control Wheel will
be part of the peer educator traniing sessions. Twice yearly all of the peer educators will gathe�
with law enforcement and SPII' staff over a meat o£ diverse East African foods to discuss
community safety and community-law enforcement relations
Neighborhood-based Adult/Law Enforcement/Youth activities will be held to promote relationship-
building between youth and law enforcement
Long-term Solutions
gilingual and bicultural (immigrant Musl'un native-speakers of East African languages) criminai
justice personnel and community-based dizect service staff must be hized, thoroughly trained and
supported to succeed in order to ereate lasting systems and social change. Relationslups must be
built and maintained to support ongoing dialogue and collabotation between the immigrant Muslim
community, law enforcement and comnaunity-based agencies involved in puhlic safety issues.
d�-�63
'young Iyiuslims need to be encouraged to pursue careers in law enforcement, criminal }ustice,
community organiz�ng and systems change work. The City of St Pau1 in conjunction with iIZAS
must a.ctively work to educate the community at large about the immigrant Muslim community, its
high morai standazds and ethics, the social injustices it suffers in Minnesota, its assets and strengths
which contribute to the quality of life in St. Paul, and its desire for a peaceful and respectfiil co-
existence. As new immi�ants amve on a regulaz basis in the Twin Cities, on�oing public education
in multiple languages and cultures must be produced. Opportuniries to share in celebrating
excellence in law enforcement, culturally significant events and community-building activities must
be promoted and planned amongst the immigrant Mnslim commun�t�I, spPp SPIP and other
community-based entities.
Impact on Identified Needs
1. East Afizcan native speaker law enforcement and battered women's advocates
The SPPD recruitment plan to provide opportumhes for mtemslups, employment as Pazking
Enforcement and Community Liaison Officers is designed to lead to positions as sworn police
officers. As imm�grant Muslim women participate in the Cultural Circles, Steering Committee,
in the SPIP program design and as peer educators they will be exposed to battered women's
aduocates and leatn more about theiz jobs, skills requirements and training opportunities for
future employment.
2. Lamcted to no knowled�e at the immierant Muslim communitv Ievel of options for r-eportin¢
crzmes zntervention in domestic assaults and communatv-based sesources for battered women
and their children
The peer educators will conduct one-on-one and small group sessions to teach other immigrant
Muslim community members about reporting crimes, intervention in domestic assaults and
community-based resources for battered women and their children in regazd to their ethnic and
faith community. The public education materials and PSAs will disseminate information in
multiple East African languages about crime prevention and reporting, domestic abuse and its
legal remedies, and other pertinent topics.
3. Lack o cultural com etencv in Muslim aith and diverse East A�ettn cultures within the SPPD
and other communitv-based a2encies
The cultural diversity educafion workshops to be conducted by MAS staff and volunteers will
open the door to ongoing dialogue with and training from the immigrant Muslim communitias.
The input and ditection from the steering comtnittee, cultural circles, peer educators and SPIP
Muslun staff will be incorporated into SPPD procedures and practices, and written materials
4. Lack of culturallv'approDriate public education materials in East African lan�uaQes
SPPD and SPIP will produce multi-lingual pubhc educahon matenals m East Afncan languages
5. Lack o inte reters trained on the d amics o domestic abuse in the Muslim communitv and
the correspondin¢ nuances in each cultural population
The Steering Committee will develop a traunng cumculum for interpreters, battered women's
advocates and peace officers on the dynanucs of domestic abuse in the Muslim community and
the cosesponding nuances in each cultural population
6. Limited to no knowled2e o{how the immier Muslim comm�snitv can become involved in
svstems chanQe
Through comznunity celebrations and events, peer educator trainings and Culhu'al Cucles, the
SPPD and 3PIP will speak with the groups about systems change and how they can become
involved in this work
