Saint Paul's Integrated Domestic T�iolence Response Framework
In 2007, crirninal jusrice agencies lead by the Saint Paul Police Department, together
with representatives of the advocacy community, joined together to audit how domesric
abuse related-cases aze handled at each point of case processing from 911 through case
charging. Our goal was to locate how and where we could collectively increase our
ability to protect victims from ongoing abuse and reduce both the opporhuiity and
inclination of abusers to do harm. It was phase one of a two phase Audit that will
cuhninate in an exatnination through case closure.
An inter-agency team worked with community-based victim advocates and nationat
experts in the domestic violence field to analyze each interaction on these complex and
difficult cases. At each point of case processing the teams sought to answer a central
question: how does this action/activity/procedure/decision contribute to victim safety and
offender accountability?
After months of preparing and reading case files, policies, procedural guides, and
administrafive forms and directives, the teams spent a week observing and interviewing
all of the key intervening practitioners in these stages of intervention. In addition, the
teams met with groups of victims whose cases have been processed in this system. The
teams found that every part of the system had put into place specialized responses to
domestic abuse cases that significanfly enhanced the likelihood of vicrim protection. We
also found that St. Paul, like every other city and county in the state, lacks a
comprehensive written inter-agency plan in these cases. The Audit located dozens of
opportunities to make changes that would fiirther our coliecrive intervention goals.
The Audit culminated in a meeting with agency heads that laid out seven areas in which
agencies needed to revamp current practices. The central question asked of the group
was, "Can you lay it a11 out, for all of us, so we don't continue to go at this piecemeal?"
The answer is yes. This process can give the city and county agencies a blueprint to
design a comprehensive, integrated domestic violence response frameworl� To a person,
directors were receptive to what they heard and open to learning how their response to
domestic violence can improve.
In short, they are eagerly awaiting a plan of action.
The political will for implementing such an inter-agency plan is present. The necessary
cooperative relarionships between the community and the city and county agencies are
strong. The connecfions to experts in the field and the work of other innovative
iniriarives aze there and the central role of victim advocacy groups in the analysis and
design process has been established and valued. Most unportantly, the Audit process
gaue these agencies the vision and capacity to pull together in one city a method of
' St. Paul Police (911 center, patrol divisions, family violence and sexual assault unit); Ramsey
County Sheriffls office (warrants division and jail); St Paul City Attorney's Office and Ramsey
County Attorney's office (charging, first appearance, condirions of release); Project Remand (bail
and release condifions); Ramsey County Correc6ons (probaHon.)

intervening that can increase the protection of victims and decrease the likelihood of
offenders repeatedly victimizing their partners and children.
These agencies are now in a posirion to crystallize their own thinking and inter-agency
work in policy, pracrice, communication, and training. This work is difficult to do. It
takes months of careful and precise inter-agency planning. It takes expertise in the area of
domestic abuse and policy-making. It takes hours of careful negoriation. It requires
agency directors to build new policy into the infrashucture of case management in ways
that continuously ask: will this practice enhance or compromise victim safety? It requires
the development of assessment tools, report writing formats, training curricula, data
collec6on and sharing methods, research-based methods of hiagng and idenrifying high
risk situations and appropriate responses.
This wark needs to be done in every Minnesota community but should not require re-
inventing the wheel each time. In keeping with Minnesota's long tradition of partnership
between the state (Legislature and agencies), strong victim advocacy programs, and
forward-thinking criminal justice agencies, it is desirable that St. Paul provide a blueprint
for each intervening agency and pracfitioner responding to these cases that can be
replicated by their counterparts in other jurisdictions in the state.
This funding will be used to produce an integrated domestic violence response
framework for case management from the 911 call through over one hundred steps of
case processing to final case closure that ensures the community did what it could, when
it could, each time a victim reaches out for help. Saint Pau1 will produce the framework
and make it available to every other jurisdicfion in the state for replication and
adaptation. The framework will seek to acYueve a number of overall objecrives in
enhancing current criminal justice responses to domes6c abuse related cases, including:
a) reducing the fragmentarion that undermines current efforts to protect vicfims;
b) enhancing the ability of intervening practitioners immediately to adapt their
responses to the level of violence and danger a particular case poses;
c) establishing an information-sharing pian that allows practifioners to have the right
information at the right time to act on cases appropriately;
d) coordinafing intervening practices under a shazed and consistent set of
assumprions about domestic violence and effective interventions;
e) ensuring that practices aliow all victims the ability to access needed help from the
criminal justice system;
fl building into the infrastructure of case processing systems of accountability and
quality assurance between the intervening agency, the victuns and the offender, as
well as among practitioners;
g) Ensuring that interventions address the complexity of people's lives, including the
relationship of violence to poveriy, homelessness, gender, race and cultural
context;
h) ensuring that practices are monitored for compliance, effecfiveness, and quality of
intervention.
2
bg-�7�
The framework will, at a minimum:
l. provide specific policy language governing each practitioner and agency at each
step of case processing;
2. provide a detailed standard operating procedural guide, one that centralizes
attention to safety and accountability, for each step needed to process a case,
including: description of steps to be taken for each intervening task; forms;
assessment tools; report writing formats, etc;
3. provide a detailed description of what informarion to gather and dissemivate to
others at each point of intervention; build into case processing informarion-
sharing routines that meet each intervening practitioner's needs; ensure that
current data bases aze a) auailable to practitioners who need them, b) contain the
information needed on domestic abuse related cases, c) kept current;
4. insert into each step of case processing a quality assurance plan including roles
and responsibilities of supervisors, methods for inter-agency feedback on case
management, inter-agency semi-annual quality control checks;
5. provide for each intervening practirioner a detailed content description of the
training needed on overall strategy of intervenfion and the specific roles and
responsibilities of the practitioner completing a given case management task.
6. develop a resource allocation plan for each intervening agency;
7. articulate for each practitioner the agency mission, the collective intervention
goals on these cases, the specific job funcfion s�he carries out at a particular point
of intervention and the specific tasks to be accomplished at each point of
intervention;
8. secure an inter-agency agreement on shared assumptions, concepts, theories and
values that are embedded in the collecfive intervenrion strategy.
The integrated domestic violence response fi-amework will be distributed at a statewide
conference sponsored by the City of St. Paul and its partnering agencies. The city is not
seeking implementation monies - only the funds to develop the framework and introduce
it to other jurisdictions.
Quarterly reporting will be done by the contract vendors.

GS #: 3051060
The attached resolution would authorize the Police department to enter into a grant agreement
wich the State of MN Department of Public Safery. Various law enforcement agencies, led by the
St. Paul Police department have been working on creating an integrated domestic violence
response framework since late 2007. This resolution would authorize the work to continue. The
grant period would run through June 2009 and would pay up to $487,500.
This proposal seems reasonable and I recommend signing.
