On Friday, May 17, we ask you to join us for a discussion of domestic violence prevention efforts in the City of Minneapolis.  We welcome an expert panel including Carol Arthur, Executive Director of the Domestic Abuse Project, Deputy Chief Kris Arneson, and Assistant City Attorney Michelle Jacobson.

Minneapolis has sought to aggressively prosecute domestic violence cases with an evidence-based prosecution model and through collaboration with partner agencies. Since 2003, the City has been able to increase its conviction rate from 47.5 percent in 2003 to 72 percent in 2012.

The increase in domestic violence conviction rates and improved responses to incidents are due in significant part to the “Minneapolis Model” – a collaborative effort between the Minneapolis City Attorney’s Office, the Minneapolis Police Department, the Domestic Abuse Project, Casa de Esperanza and Asian Women United of Minnesota that launched in 2008.

The Minneapolis Model includes a new investigative protocol by the City Attorney’s Office and the Police Department to gather more and better evidence when officers are responding to domestic violence calls. With the assistance of grant funds, the City has also developed a domestic abuse repeat offender initiative, with a pilot program at Little Earth of United Tribes, and provided additional police enforcement of Domestic Abuse No Contact Orders, which have also improved the City’s response to domestic violence.

Please join us on May 17, at Early Mornings with Elizabeth, to discuss this critical public safety issue and what you can do to help recognize and prevent domestic violence.

Graffiti at King Park

The KFNA Crime Prevention and Safety Committee Community Clean-up on Tuesday May 21, from 6:30-8:30 PM. We will gather at MLK Park for a snack and a chance to meet KFNA’s new Project Organizer, Cheryl DeGroff. Then we will fan out and start to clean up some of the dozen or so graffiti tags located in and around MLK Park. Materials for the clean-up will be provided but if you have a small bucket please bring it, as it is often helpful to wash down the tag-site with plain water after using the chemical remover. Please invite your neighbors to attend this event with you and help make Kingfield more beautiful and safer (graffiti attracts more graffiti—let’s keep it out of Kingfield!) To make sure we have enough supplies on hand including maps of the graffiti sites, please RSVP for this event to sarah@kingfield.org.
