Dear Chief Harrington:
CongraNlations on your recent award. In establishing financial ass�stance progams, Congress hnked the receipt of Federal funding to
compliance wi[h Federal civil rights law5. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Ofrice of Iustice Pro�+rnms (OJP), U.S. Depariment of Justice
is responsible for ensuri�g that recipients of financiai aid from O1P, rts wmponen[ offices and bureaus, /he Office on Violence Against
Women (OV W), and the Office of Commumty Oriented Policiug Services (COPS) comply wi[h applmahle Federat civii nghfs statutes and
regulations. We at OCR are available [o help you and your organi�anon meet the c�vil rights requirements that come with Jusnce
DepaKment funding.
Ensoring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
As you know, Federal laws prohibit recipients of financial ass�stance from discnminating on the basis of race, cobr, national origin,
religioq sex, or disability in funded progtams or act�vides, not only in iespect to emplayment practices but ais0 in tfie delivery of sernces or
benefits. Federal law also proh�bits funded programs or actrvrties from discnminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or
benefits.
Providing Services to Limited Snglish Proficiency (LSP) [ndividuals
In accorda�ce with Depamnent ofJustice Guidance pertaiuing to Tifle VI oftiie Crvil Righks Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, rempients of
Federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access ro thev programs and acnvrties for persons wi[h limited
English proficiency (LEP). For more infortnation on tfie civii nghts responsibilities tha[ recipients have in providmg language services to
LEP individuals, piease see [he websi[e at http.11www lep.gov.
Ensuring Fqual Treatmen[ for Faith-Based Organizations
The Department of Jusdce has published a regulation specifically pertainmg to fhe funding of faith-based ocganizations. In geuecal, the
cegnlation, Partiapation in Juskce Department Programs by Religiws Orgamzat�ons; Providing for Equal Trea[ment of alt Juslice
Department Program Participants, and knovm as the Equal Treatment Regulation 28 C.F.R part 38, reqmres State Admimstedng Agencies
to treat these organi�ations the same as any other appLcant or recipienL The regulat�on prohibits State Admimstering Agencies from makmg
award or grant administration decisioos on Ihe basis of an orgamzation's rehgious character or affi6aqon, religious name, or the religious
composition of its board of directors.
The regulanon also prohibas fa�th-based oreanizations from using financial assistance frmn the Depamnent of Justice to fund mherently
religious activuies. While farth-based organi�ations can engage m non-funded mherendy religious activities, they must be held separately
from the Deparhnent of Justice funded pronram, and cUStramers or 6eneficiaries cannot be compeited to par[icipate m them. The Fqual
7reatment Regula6on also makes clear Ihat organizations panc�ipatmg iu p�ogams funded by the Department of Justice aze not perznitted to
discriminate in the proviswn of servicu on the basis of a beneficiary's religioa For more mfortnati0n on the regulation, please see OCR's
website at http://www_ojp.usdoj.gov/ocdettUo.httn.
State Adminis[ering Agencies and faith-based organizations should also note that the Safe SKeets Act, as amended; the Victims of Crime
Act, as amended, and [he Juvenile Justice �d Delinquency Prevenf�ou Act, as amended, contam prohibidons agamsi discnmination on the
basis of re}igion m employment Despite these nondiscrimination prov�s�ot�s, tlie Sustice Department has concluded that the Reiigious
Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is reasonably consWed, on a case-by-case buis, to require that iCS funding age�cies permrt faith-based
organizahons applymg for funding under the applicable progrnm statutes both to ceceive DOJ funds and to continue cons�derin� religion
when hinno staff, even if the 5ta[ute tha[ authorizes the fundmg program generally forbids considering of religion m employmen[ decisions
by grantees.
Quesfions about the regulabo� or the application of RFRA to the s[atutes that prohibit discrimmation in employme�t may be direcied to this
Office.

PERSOi�NEL
Currently there are six officers trained in the G.R.E.A.T. core curriculum. Officer Ruby Diaz is
the primary officer at Humboldt Junior High School and Washington Middle School. Officer
Tony Spencer is the Primary officer at Hazel Park Academy. Officer Chu Yang is the primary
officer at Cleveland Middle School. Officer Jennifer Corcoran is the secondary officer at
Cleveland Middle School and the primary officer at Bruce Vento Elementary School and
Cherokee Heights Elementary School. Charles Sims is the secondary officer at Humboldt Junior
High School and the substitute for any of the primary officers as needed. Officer Darryl Boerger
is also a primary officer at Washington Middle School. Officer Yang and Boerger were sent to
G.R.E.A.T. Officer Training [GOT] outside of our grant budget far 2007, and the police
department paid for the two officers to be trained. If awarded the grant one additional fu11 time
G.R.E.AT. officer would need to be trained and would be the primary officer at Battle Creek
Middle School, Highland Park Junior High School, Ramsey Junior High School, Como Pazk
Elementary School and Jackson Elementary School. The new officer's salary would be part of
the grant. The above named officer's salary, excluding the new officer, would be covered by the
St. Paul Police Department as the In-Kind Match. Overtime for the officer's will be needed to
accommodate preparation for class. Two hours a week will be allotted per an officer for prep
time for the classes being tau�t.
Total cost for the full time officer would be $52,027.60. This would cover the officer's salary
during the school year and for the five weeks of the summer program. The officer's salary
during the rest of the summer, winter and spring break would be covered by the police
deparhnent.
13 week lessons x 2 hours per week -= 26 hours overtime x$47.42= $1,232.92 / officer
$1,232.92 x 10 session taught = $12,329
Personnel overCime will be needed for the truancy program. Two o�cers wi11 work one shift a
week spread out throughout the school yeaz over 15 weeks. The shifts will be four hours a day
from 0900-1300 hours.
15 weeks x 4 hours = 60 hours of overtime x$47.42 =$2,845.20 J officer

needed for this officer. There currently is not a families training planned. A specific locarion
would be identified once the 2008 training schedule is announced and the officer would be sent
there for the training. The national conference is scheduled for St. Louis, MO this summer. We
would send six officers and the coordinator to the training. All travel requests are estimates at

SPPD Crrant Application
Statement of the Problem
The Saint Paul Police DeparhnenYs [SPPD] mission statement is, "Excellence, Ethics,
Empathy, Educarion" The goal of the police department is to always try to appty all of the
"Four E's" in everyday. Education being one of the Four E's, the SPPD is applying for
level II of the G.R.E.A,T. grant. Currently the SPPD is teaching its second year of
G.R.E.A.T. The progam expanded from our pilot year of two junior high schools, to our
current year of four junior high schools, two elementazy schools, a families program as
well as a summer program.
Saint Pau] Police records show juveniles were arrested in the year 2006 for the
following crimes, assaults (406), auto theft (88), robbery (115), narcotics (112) crime to
benefit a gang (51), obstructing, resisting arrest (371), truancy (133), and curfew (705).
Gang members were responsible for 12 percent of homicides in 2005, 5 percent in 2006
and 13 percent in 2007 as of November 15, 2007. Based on the 2004 National Youth
Gang Survey (NYGS) results, gang problems have been on the inczease for cities with a
popnlation over 50,000, as is the City of Saint Paul, the increase has been dramatia The
increase in gang problems from 2003-2006 had more than doubled. The gang related
incidents in the City of Saint Paul for 2003 were 593, 2004 were 608, 2005 were 873 and
200b were 1037. Based on the NYGS survey results it is estimated there are
approximately 760,000 gang members and 24,�00 gangs. The State of Minnesota is
estimated to have 13,438 confirmed gang members and affiliates, and 343 confirmed
gangs.
Gang membership and the subsequent delinquency problems in the Metro Aa are an
increasingly serious concern for the safety of our community and the future of our youth.
Page 1 of 10

SPPD Cnant Application
`I`he SPPD Gang Units primary objecfives have been to educate, deter delinquency, and
minimize youth violence and gang membership. The SPPD Gang Unit emphasizes
making positive life choices in school, home, and the community. The commitment of
the Gang Unit is to reduce gang initiation, involvement, and membership. The target
audience will practice and implement the lessons leamed through the education they
receive throughout the G.R.E.A.T. program provided by Gang Unit Officers.
The G.R.E.A.T. program is supplemented from the Gang Unit. The SPPD Gang Unit
was started in June 2005 with 17 swom personnel being assigned to the unit. The
implementation of the G.R.E.A.T. program started August 2006, without the addition of
more officers. Since the start of flie G.R.E.A.T. program the SPPD Gang Unit has 17
sworn personnel, with five o�cers G.R.E.A.T. certified. The officers who are
G.R.E.A.T. certified also can a case load involving gang members and violent crimes.
Two more officers are being sent to G.R.E.A.T. Officer training in December 20�7. The
case loads of the officers who aze teaching G.R.E.A.T. have not decreased, in fact they
have increased. Commander Flynn, the commander of the Gang Unit, has requested to
the administration, a full time G.R.E.A.T. Officer. The request was denied based on
funding and who would pay for the officer's salary. There is a definite need for a full
time G.R.E.A.T. Officer as requests continue to be made to have the G.R.E.A.T. program
in more schools.
All of the schools where G.K.E.A.T. is currently being taught are Title I schools. All
of the potential future schools are also Title I schools, expect Highland Junior High
School. The principal at Highland Junior High School stated her schooi would definitely
benefit from the G.R.E.A.T. program even though they aze not a Title I school. Principal

SPPD Grant Application
Chazlene Hoff stated her school was 69% and to be considered a Tifle I her school needed
to be 80%. Principal Hoff is looking forward to having the G.R.E.A.T. program in her
school as her school gets overlooked for many free govemment prograzns.
Program Design and Implementation Strategy
The G.R.E.A.T, program in St. Paul was started as a pilot project by the SPPD in
August 2006, educaring approximately 135 students. The initial program was not funded
by the federal grant. The SPPD researched other options and was funded $10,000 by the
St. Paul Police Foundation. The pilot program was a large success, and requests to
expand the program l�ave been constant since the implementation of the program. Our
second year of the G.R.E.A.T. program is in full motion. Currently we have taught in
two junior high schools. We will teach a minimum of four junior high schools and two
elementary schools. The families program as well as a summer program will also be
implemenfed this year.
Officers will continue ta teach at our pilot project schools, Hnmboldt Junior High
School and Cleveland Middle School. We expanded this year to include Haze] Park
Academy Middle School, Washington Middle School, Cherokee Heights and Bruce
Vento Elementary Schools. The G.R.E.A.T. program will also continue in these schools.
The SPPD currently has schools which are waiting to have the C.R.E.AT. program
brought to their school. A full time G.R.E.A.T. Officer would allow more schoois to
benefit from the G.R.E.A.T. program.
The academic year of 2008-2009 will see further expansion of the G.R.E.A.T.
program in St. Paul. We will expand to four elementary schools, we will continue at
Cherokee Heights and Bruce Vento, and we will expand to Como Pazk and Jackson
Page 3 of 10
c��/fa5
SPPD Grant Application
elementary schools. The middle school component will also expand this year. We will
continue in the four schools we are currently teaching and start teaching at Battle Creek
Middle School, Highland Pazk Junior High School and Ramsey Junior High School. We
will expand our families from one session of 40 participants to two sessions and 80
participants. The summer program currently is scheduled to serve 250 participants and
we would plan on the same nusnber, 250 participants, for summer of 2009.
The schools we have selected for the G.R.E.A.T. program have either contacted the
SPPD requesting the program or the students who attend the schools are high risk youth
and we believe would benefit from the program.
The G.R.E.A.T. program will be taugtxt in the seventh grade as well as in the English
second language [ESL) classes in the middle schools and junior high schools. The
program will be taught in social studies or health class. Our experience over the first two
years has been both ofthese classes work well with the G.R.E.A.T. curriculum. The
middle school will have approximately 1855 students participating in the G.R.E.A.T.
program. The G.R.E.A.T. program will be taught in fifth grade in the elementary
schools, with approximaYely 260 students participating. The families program will
include 20 families over two sessions. The families participating will be identified as
high risk families by G.R.E.AT. instructors as well as educational staff. A possible total
of 3Q to 40 people will participate per a session, for a total of 80 participants for the
families program. The participants will include pazents, siblings and or guardians. The
summer program will have approximately 50 students participating per a week over a
five week program for a tota? of 250 students. The summer prog�am will include
G.R.E.A.T. lesson plans as well as activities for the youth. A field trip will be

incarporated with the summer program, including but not limited to baseball games,
bowling, museums and other educational events.
The middle school, elementary school and families program will be conducted
throughout the academic yeaz starting September 2008, ending May 2009. The summer
component will be conducted during the summer months of June, July and August 2008.
Collaboration
The partnershaps committed to reducing involvement in gangs and increasing positive
life choices include but are not limited to, St. Paul Police Foundarion, St. Paul Pnblic
Schools, St., Paul Parks and Recreation, St. Paul Police Athletic League [PAL], Boys and
Girls Club, the Neighborhood House, U.S. Attomey's Office, ATF, enhanced juvenile
probation, Minnesota Gang Strike Force, 180 Degrees and the God Squad.
The St. Paul Police Foundation has been a partner with the SPPD since the
implementation of the G.R.E.A.T. program in St. Paul. The Foundation donated the
original start up funds to allow the G.R.E.A.T. program to accomplish many of the goals
sent forth by the SPPD.
Currently the Saint Paul Police Gang Unit conducts neighbarhood forums. These
forums consist of G.R.E.A.T. Officers, as well as unit officers, participaYing in a free
cook-out, lemonade stand in a lazgely gang occupied location of the city. The God
Squad, a faith based community organization, works in partnership with the Gang Unit in
hosting the cook-outs and lemonade stands. The God Squad works with gang involved
youth as well as their families in guidance to a successful life outside of the gang. The
youth have leamed to trust the God Squad, which in turn help the youth to trust the

police. The God Squad will be a part of the families progam as well as the summer
program and a resource to G.R.E.A.T. officers throughout the school year.
The SPPD has a Police Athletic League [PAL]. C�urently members of the Gang Unit,
G.R.E.A.T. Officers and officers, coach youth baseball, softball, volleyball and
basketball. "I'he intervention of PAL has allowed at risk youth to find activities to occupy
their down time and prevent boredom. PAL is a partnership with the Boys and Girls
Club of Saint Paul.
A new partnership has been developed with 180 Degrees, a non-profit community
corrections organization, which works with adult and juvenile offenders. Richard
Gardell, the CEO af 180 Degrees, has been and continues to be a proponent of helping
direct gang youth away from criminal activity. Richard Gardell is a retired Assistant
Police Chief and fully understands the goals and commihnents of the SPPD to the success
of helping at risk youth. 180 Degrees mission statement is, "Building a safer society by
helping offenders as they rebuild successful lives in the community". The new
partnership with 180 Degrees and the SPPD will enable youth to learn job skills as well
as provide job opporiunities. Not all of the youth will be offenders, some will be higtz
risk youth who are, or could be involved in gang activity, and need to know there are
other options available to them.
The SPPD will continue it's partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of SY. Paul.
National Night Out is sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club and the officers in the Gang
Unit assist in the success of this activity as well as other sponsored Boys and Girls Club
activiries. The G.R.E.A.T. officers in the Gang Unit assist the staff at the local Soys and
Girls Club with mentoring local youth. In the past year the G.R.E.A.T. Officers assisted

with Clyde Turner Basketball camps. The basketball camp is much more than leanung
the fundamentals of basketball. The camp shows the youth how a person who started in a
gang does not have to stay in gang. The youth learn there is success aside from the gang
life and the youth aze taught to take pride in themselves as we11 as their community.
A partnership has been developed with U.S. Attorney Chris Wilton on the prosecution
of gang members. U.S. Attomey Wilton has and will continue to provide anti-gang
strategy and trainings to the St. Paul Police Gang Unit. ATF Group Supervisor Brian
McCarthy is the coordinator of the Project Safe Neighborhood program. ATF Agent Bob
Schmidt and Dave Nygren have been working with Agent McCarthy and the SPPD Gang
Unit on gathering gang intelligence as well as assisting in gang related warrants.
The Weed and Seed Program is an active program in St. Paul. The strategy of the
Weed and Seed Program is for law enforcement agencies (Minnesota Gang Strike Force,
SPPD, ATF, prosecutors) to focus on high crime / risk areas and saturate the targeted
areas by "weeding" out the crime through anests. The "seed" part of the program is
about gaining control of the azeas through intervention, prevention, treahnent and
rebuilding neighborhoods.
The collaboration of the partnerships with SPPD works to disengage the risk factors
and negative atmosphere and influences facing elementary and middle school aged
students. Positive influences by police officers, peer, and other support agencies replace
the negative influences of gangs. Teaching G.R.E.A.T. demonstrates to the students how
to say no and mean it, how to make good choices, as well as knowing consequences of
decisions made among other lessons.

Currently we have a truancy program established with the cooperation of participaring
schools to help prevent delinquency activities. The City of St. Paul has a truancy center
in conjunction with Ramsey County Sheriff's Department, to place truant juveniles. The
truancy program in conjunction with the G.K.E.A.T. program would continue to work
with officers and school personnel to determine which students were absent.
A curfew program has been developed in conjunction with the Ramsey County
Sheriffls Department. The Sheriff's Deparhnent is in chazge of the curfew center and is
staffed by deputies. St. Paul Police Officers wark curfew sweeps with the cooperation of
the Sheriff's Department. �nforcing the curfew laws will keep youth off the streets late
at night. Lessons are taught during G.R.E.A.T., educating the students on making right
choices including curfew rules and laws.

Commander Flynn will be responsible for performance measurement, and how the
information will be used to guide the program. The G.R.E.A.T. program has been proven
successful in St. Paul without the federal fiznding as well as with the federal funding.
While the federal funding will be extremely helpful to expand the cunent program, the
SPPD implemented the program without the federal grand at a smaller scale and did so
successfully. If need be, we will continue the program at a smaller scale to guarantee the
program is taught properly and completely. Finding monies from outside sources has
been beneficial to the success of our program in St. PauL Tt�e commihnent of the St.
Paul Police Foundation, the schools we aze serving and the police department will allow
the G.R.E.A.T. program to continue, even without the federal funding. If needed, we will
continue to look at our partnerships far assistance to keep the G.R.E.A.T. progr�n part of
the school curriculum.

Interdepartmental Memorandum
To: L.ori L,ee, Acting Finance Director
From: Chris Eitemiller, Sr. Budget Analys�
Subject: Police Budget Amendment to establish financing & spending plan for 2008 Youth
Gang Intervention Grant
Date: September 24, 2008
The attached resolution establishes a financing and spending plan for a federal law enforcement grant.
The grant is with the U.S. Department of Justice to target gang activity. The grant totals $134,898 and
would pay for police officers' overtime costs and progranunatic costs for the Gang Resistance Education
and Training program.
Because this will amend the Police budget, this will require a public hearing. It will be on the Council's
agenda October ls as the first and third meetings each month are the opporiunities for budget
amendments.
This proposal seems reasonable, I recommend signing.
