CaMP Proposal Narrative
1. Description of Community Need (Percent of Total Value: 15%) target area:
Existing Violence: "Last year was one of the deadliest in decades, with violent crime rising for the first time in four years" (Hart, 2021 ). After decreases in reported crimes and arrests from stay-at-home orders, the loosening of COVID-19 restrictions has borne a striking rise in homicides, gun violence, and violent crime. FBI Uniform Statistics showed a 3.8% increase in violent crime, a 23.5% increase in homicides, an I I % increase in aggravated assaults, and a 30% increase in gun violence (FBI, 2020). This has been mirrored in the San Diego region, where analysis of 2021 mid-year crime shows violent crime in the region is up 14% compared to the first half of 2020 and 12% since 2017, including a 20% increase in aggravated assaults, a 23% increase in rape, a 5% increase in domestic violence incidents, and a 2'l % increase in homicides since 2019. The City of Chula Vista, the second largest city in the region, experienced a 'l 6% increase in violent crime during the first half of 2021 and registered a 31 % increase since 20'l7 (SANDAG, 2021 ).
Factors contributinq to violence: The far-reaching effects of the pandemic and the associated response (stay-home orders, social isolation, loss of employment) has led researchers to postulate that the associated social, psychological, and economic strain along with increased gun ownership has contributed to the increases in crime. The deleterious effects of the pandemic have been magnified among communities already vulnerable to social and economic inequities prior to the pandemic. Specifically, Black, Latinx, and Native American individuals were disproportionately affected by COVID-19 (Fortuna et al., 2020), both medically and socioeconomically.
In addition to experiencing a larger increase in violent crime compared with the rest of the region, from 2€)1 7-2021 Chula Vista experienced a 1 24% increase in firearm-related arrests (from 85 to 191 ), with juvenile arrests increasing 600% (from 4 to 32) (CVPD, 2022). Underlying this dramatic increase in gun violence is the growing prevalence and easy access to ghost guns available in the city. Compared to 2017 when Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD) seized one ghost gun, there has been an 830% increase with 85 seized in 2021 (CVPD, 2022). Furthermore, from 2017 to 2021, School Resource Officers (SROs) received more than 13,000 school calls for service (CFS), CalVIP Proposal Narrative l Page 1 of 12
averaging more than 2,500 calls per year even through pandemic school closures, with I 0% of school threats being determined to be valid. (CVPD, 2022).
Service Gap: This increase in guns and crime is complicated by the emotional toll the pandemic has taken on the youth and the gap in available mental health services to address their needs. Across the nation the social isolation, separation from peers, and increased economic stressors on families has led to a youth mental health crisis in the u.s. (us Department of HHS, 2021 ). In San Diego County, behavioral health visits to the emergency room at Rady's Children's Hospital (the region's primary emergency room for child/adolescent behavior health emergencies) has gone up 1,700%. (Jones et al., 2021 ). In Chula Vista, police have experienced this crisis with a rise in mental health calls. In 2021, CVPD reported 278 "5150" holds on juveniles (i.e., temporary, involuntary psychiatric commitment of individuals who are a threat to themselves or others). After transport to Rady's for evaluation, CVPD lacks the capacity to follow-up with families to ensure they are connected to needed resources. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for the police to be called back to the home, repeating the cycle. As CVPD has the smallest number of sworn staff per 1,000 population of any San Diego County police department, at.93, compared to the regional average of 1.28, these calls put a significant strain on the already limited resources. Correspondingly, from 2017 to 2021, CVPD school CFS have shown increased response times, from an average of 3.1 to 5.9 minutes for priority 1 calls (the most life threatening, felony) and from 8.2 to 8.5 minutes for priority 2 (possible life threatening, misdemeanor).
1.2Target area/population: The City of Chula Vista is the second largest city in San Diego County, situated between the U.S.-Mexico border and the City of San Diego, with a popula!on Of27l,411 WFI!CFI iS 57% H!span!c/Lai!no, 20% Ottler etFln!C![!eS, 19% Wh!e and 5% Black and 27% are under the age of 18 (SANDAG, 2022). Because of its large Latinx and mixed population, Chula Vista was disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and was included in a COVID-19 impact survey of communities with mostly non-White populations in the summer of 2020. The survey of over 3,500 households showed how the pandemic strained the availability of the basic needs for these families; 71 % respondents reported having immediate unmet needs, with the most common related to food, housing, utilities, and employment, more than half (52%) reported some type of housing instability due to the pandemic and 66% reported their employment was negatively affected by COVID-19 (SANDAG, 2020).
CalVIP Proposal Narrative l Page 2 of 12
Tarqet population: This project will prioritize Chula Vista youth who are arrested, exhibit behavior problems at school, and/or are experiencing a mental health crisis. The target population will be identified by CVPD SROs, through direct interactions with a youth while on campus or through referrals from school personnel, or parents. In addition, the program will accept juvenile arrests referrals from CVPD officers, as well as referrals for any Chula Vista youth involved in the CAT, Diversion, ATD, and CHOICE programs (described in section 2.1), including referrals from Juvenile Probation, the Public Defender's office, District Attorney, schools, community partners, and self-referrals.
Number to be served: The project will serve at least 75 high-risk youth aged 18 and under annually. Because the services will focus on the entire family, the actual number of individuals served will be greater, as family members, including siblings will also have access to services.
The reasons why this population tarqet was selected: First, in response to the pandemic's disproportionate impact on communities of color and the resulting economic, psychological, and physical devastation, evidenced through the increased calls for services to schools, the number of youths requiring "51 50" holds, and the need for additional care beyond the emergency response from CVPD; Second, the growing firearm related crimes and the uncontrolled appearance of ghost guns on the streets and in the hands of Chula Vista youth (Hernandez, 2021 ; Halladay & Hanna, 2021 ); Third, the under resourced mental health system, coupled with the increased demand and limited resources to respond to the growing mental health needs of the community's youth, shown through simultaneous growth in school and youth mental health CFS, a dramatic reduction in available Chula Vista SROs, from 20 officers to five, and corresponding increased CFS response times.
2. Project Description (Percent of Total Value: 40%)
2.I Proposed evidence-based violence reduction strategy CVPD will expand upon its current violence prevention program targeting at-risk youth, including public outreach and education campaigns for students and parents. This outreach includes presentations to parents on the moral and legal obligations of gun ownership, best practices for gun storage safety, and case studies where otherwise legally owned guns were at risk of being used by youth in Chula Vista. When youth have been identified as at-risk, CVPD SROs will respond to threats and referrals by conducting a criminal threat evaluation, followed by engagement with the youth's parents to determine the presence and accessibility of firearms in the home. If there are CalVIP Proposal Narrative I Page 3 of 12
unsecured weapons in the home, CVPD will take custody of the weapon to ensure the at-risk youth does not have access. In some cases, it is necessary for youth to be transported to the emergency room (e.g., Rady's) for a psychiatric evaluation when determined to pose a threat to themselves or others. In these cases, the youth will be left in the care of the facility and currently there is limited capacity for CVPD to provide services thereaffer. Too often, CVPD is called back to the home, repeating the cycle.
With funding from CalVIP, CVPD will enhance its existing program and practices by adding one full-time peace officer to the SRO unit, allowing for more outreach and faster response and intervention times when at-risk youth are identified Additionally, CVPD will expand the scope of its violence prevention program in conjunction with local community-based organization (CBO), SBCS, to ensure follow-up services are available to the youth at risk of violence, and his/her/their family. In operation since 1971, SBCS has existing programs in place across San Diego County which can be expanded in partnership with CVPD to create an enhanced continuum of services, all designed to prevent violence, juvenile justice system involvement, and recidivism into high-risk statuses.
Utilizing a model that has been successful when implemented with program youth in the neighboring City of San Diego, SBCS will provide 1.5 FTE site-based Therapists co- located directly in the CVPD School Resource Officer Unit and embedded within the existing CAT, Diversion, ATD, and CHOICE programs (described below) to provide "3rd Wave" mindfulness-based mental health services for Chula Vista youth under this grant.
o Community Assessment Team (CAT): provides family-based prevention services for at-risk youth (6-18 years old) to help avoid future involvement in the juvenile justice system. SBCS has been the CAT South Region provider since its inception in 1998 and has recently taken on the oversight of all CAT services in San Diego County. o Juvenile Diversion ("Diversion"): works to divert low-level juvenile offenders from entering the juvenile justice system. Referrals come directly from law enforcement for youth who have been arrested or ticketed for misdemeanor or status offenses. SBCS provides counseling and community service opportunities to youth (rooted in restorative justice principles) as a part of their diversion programming. More than 90% of youth successfully meet their diversion goals and as a result avoid entering the juvenile justice system.
CalVIP Proposal Narrative l Page 4 of 12
o Alternatives to Detention (ATD): provides a spectrum of detention alternatives for low to medium risk juvenile offenders to help keep youth who do not present as a safety risk in the community, where they have the best chance to succeed. Referrals come directly from law enforcement, probation, and juvenile court (including the District Attorney and Public Defender), and are received by the program 24/7 to keep youth out of detention whenever possible. SBCS has led this county-wide effort since its inception in 2012. o CHOICE: serves probation youth who require intensive supervision due to higher risk levels and needs. The CHOICE team contacts program youth 7 days a week to provide supports to help them meet their conditions of probation and to keep them stabilized in the community. Based off best practice models in other areas of the Unites States, SBCS has led this county-wide effort since it launched in San Diego County in 2019.
SBCS Therapists will infuse the 3rd wave approaches throughout all aspects of these programs, including 3rd Wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, also known as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, or MBCT, and Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy, or TARGET. In addition, SBCS will leverage its partnership with Project AWARE to provide "Restorative Circles," wherein youth are partnered with mentors with lived experience in the justice system to help them make better choices in life. Mindfulness-based "3rd wave" therapies prioritize the holistic promotion of psychological and behavioral processes associated with health and well-being over the reduction or elimination of psychological and emotional symptoms (although that is offen a side-benefit). They use strategies such as mindfulness exercises, acceptance of unwanted thoughts and feelings, and cognitive diffusion (stepping back and seeing thoughts as just thoughts) to elicit change in the thinking process, and ultimately help youth redirect their life away from violent and risk-taking patterns.
Relationship between strateqy and need: National and local data, as well as anecdotal reports from CVPD have shown the pandemic has led to a mental health crisis among our youth. The increased demand on SROs and CVPD to respond to calls for service at schools and in the community is alarming and is occurring alongside an increase in firearm-related crimes and the proliferation of ghost guns in the community. The proposed strategy takes a two-tiered preventative and intervention approach to address the gap in resources to follow-up with youth and families at greatest risk of violence or further involvement in the justice system. First, CVPD will prevent violence from occurring by identifying youth at risk of being involved in gun violence through direct interactions with youth while on campus or through referrals from school personnel, or CalVIP Proposal Narrative l Page 5 of 12
parents, and then seek to immediately remove access to firearms in the home. Second, CVPD will refer youth to SBCS for follow up services. SBCS is the largest provider of social services in the county. Headquartered in Chula Vista, SBCS is a trusted and well- respected provider in the community and is experienced in serving youth who are at-risk and high-risk of involvement in the justice system. SBCS has a diversified range of evidence-based prevention, intervention, and treatment options for youth and families.
SBCS will partner with CVPD to leverage its continuum of services to provide the needed follow-up and mental health services to youth and families who come in contact with CVPD, as well as Chula Vista youth referred directly into these programs From San Diego County Juvenile Probation, by adding 1.5 FTE mental health clinicians designated specifically to respond to Chula Vista youth.
Research supporting strategy: The effectiveness of removing access to guns in the home is supported by research from the University of California Davis Violence Prevention Research Program. The study examined the impact of gun violence restraining orders in the state, finding that between 2016 and 2018, the removal of 52 firearms had potentially prevented as many as 21 mass shootings across California (Pallin et al., 2019). While it's impossible to know exactly when violence would have occurred had a gun not been removed, it's well documented that risk of violence among youth becomes much more deadly as ease of access to weapons increases (Dahlberg, 2004). Beyond access, research on individual risk factors for youth shows that mental health problems are associated with delinquency, violence, and justice system involvement. Specifically, researchers have found that some externalizing disorders (including conduct disorders, oppositional defiant disorder, antisocial behaviors, and others) and substance use disorders increase the likelihood of delinquency, violence, and contact with the justice system. For youth already in contact with the justice system, studies have shown that mental health concerns are more common than for their peers; two thirds of youth in detention or correctional settings have at least one diagnosable mental health problem, compared with an estimated 9 to 22 percent of the general youth population, and are 10 times more likely to suffer from psychosis (OJJDP, 2017).
A 2014 study that surveyed 64,329 juveniles involved in the justice system found that 97 % of them had at least one Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE), 50% of them reported 4 or more ACEs, putting them in the high-risk category for PTSD, depression, and other mental health issues, further exacerbating risk of violence and continued justice system involvement (Jamieson, 2019).
CalVIP Proposal Narrative l Page 6 of 12
After the immediate intervention, the Follow-up services provided by SBCS will work to overcome the gap that appears when these risk factors are leff unaddressed. SBCS clinicians will contact the family of the youth within two business days of referral to assess the needs of the youth and family, will identify needed and beneficial services and supports within and outside of SBCS, and will link and help navigate the family to available programs. Research on improving the provision of mental health services has shown these services to reduce the risks of initial juvenile justice system involvement by 31 % and reduce recidivism rates by 28% (Foster et al., 2004). Building on this, SBCS will incorporate three different evidence-based programs to meet the diverse needs of the population; MBCT teaches youth to recognize and understand thought and feeling patterns, with the goal of creating new, more effective patterns; TARGET teaches a set of seven skills that can be used by trauma survivors to regulate extreme emotion states, manage intrusive trauma memories, promote self-efficacy, and achieve lasting recovery From trauma; Mentoring and Restorative Circles create a group framework in which mentees are empowered to find their own solutions and help each other.
Included in the mental health services and supports provided by SBCS, CBT is the most widely researched therapy that exists, and over 500 studies have demonstrated its effectiveness for numerous psychological problems. When CBT is combined with mindfulness in MBCT, it has been shown to prevent depression recurrence as effectively as maintenance antidepressant medication (Roy-Byrne, 2016). Two experiments testing MBCT's efficacy on depression demonstrated that relapse rates for the disorder decreased (Kuyken et al., 2012; Teasdale et al., 2000), while other studies have shown its applicability in treating anxiety, depression, and ADHD in clients from multiple age groups (Haydicky et al., 201 3; Kishita et al., 201 6; Schroevers et al, 2016).
TARGET is a strengths-based approach to education and group therapy for survivors of physical, sexual, psychological, and emotional trauma. Since 2000, TARGET has been implemented at multiple sites, and is one of the most evidence-backed interventions for traumatized youth in juvenile justice, with findings from several scientifically rigorous studies. In one such 2-year study funded by OJJDP, each TARGET session attended (delivered to '1 2-1 7-year-old boys and girls in juvenile detention centers) was associated with a 22% decrease in disciplinary incidents and 37 fewer minutes of seclusion in the first 14 days of stay, and the benefits were even more pronounced for youth with severe trauma histories.

Project AWARE is a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color) and lived experience led organization that focuses on emotional literacy, gang prevention and intervention, restorative practices, case management, and mentoring services for at-risk and justice- involved youth. SBCS will partner with Project AWARE to provide weekly Restorative Circle sessions to support program youth in the development of emotional literacy skills and connection to mentors with lived experience in the justice system, as well as education through Substance Abuse and Awareness, Self Esteem, Criminal Thinking, and CBT-based curriculum. Project AWARE serves an average of 200 youth annually across San Diego County, and 92% achieve completion of an eight-week cycle. Upon completion, 87% of youth indicate improved empathy skills, 94% improve their ability to get along better with others, and 83% report feeling more connected to their community.
Meta-analysis from OJJDP shows that the improvement of these interpersonal skills has been demonstrated to decrease aggressive and disruptive behaviors, violence, and increase social behaviors, including reductions in drug abuse and delinquency and improvements in school attendance and achievement. (Hahn et al., 2007) Strategy's reduction in violence: The program will provide high-risk youth with evidence- based mental health and mentoring services at no cost. The availability of these services to Chula Vista youth will allow CVPD to be significantly more proactive in preventing youth who have demonstrated risk to remain involved in or return to the behaviors which led them toward violence. SBCS' previous experience has demonstrated how these services help youth overcome challenges that would otherwise exacerbate their risk-taking behaviors, potentially leading to re-arrest. Additionally, funding from CaMP will allow CVPD to expand upon its current education and outreach campaign to provide gun safety education to students and to parents who may keep guns in their homes, including best storage practices and risks to youth in the home.
2.2 Project Participants
Plan for identifyinq, accessing, and servinq individuals: CVPD SROs will generate or respond to referrals from direct interactions with Chula Vista youth, parents, or teachers, and utilize criminal threat evaluations followed by engagement with the youth's parents to determine the presence and accessibility of firearms in the home to identify youth in need of the services available under this project. Referrals may also come from CVPD juvenile arrests, including those responding to mental health calls, as well as referrals for any Chula Vista youth involved in the CAT, Diversion, ATD, and CHOICE programs (described in section 2.1 ), including referrals from Juvenile Probation, the Public CalVIP Proposal Narrative l Page 8 of 12
Defender's office, District Attorney, schools, community partners, and self-referrals.
Upon referral to SBCS, youth participate in a needs assessment and have a Case Plan developed by the SBCS therapist and/or the youth's Probation Officer (PO) if applicable.
SBCS' multi-Disciplinary teams (MDTs) will use these assessments to determine the benefit for each youth from participating in the enhanced services, and refer as appropriate to a therapist, who will administer the Family Well Being Assessment (FWBA) to determine which services would be beneficial. SBCS therapists will respond to all referrals within two business days of receipt.
Plan to overcome any inability access and/or serve those individuals & Strateqy for maintaining sustained engaqement: CVPD's partner in this program, SBCS, is the countywide lead of the CAT, Diversion, CHOICE, and ATD programs. SBCS therapists are well-versed not only in the diverse range of services available through SBCS but in all services and providers across San Diego County, allowing youth to be connected to and guided through the services that will best meet their needs. SBCS' existing programs utilize multi-Disciplinary teams (MDT) comprised o( SBCS team members, Probation Officers, school representatives, mentors, and any other significant adult in each youths' life identified as necessary to accomplish the youth's objectives. MDTs meet monthly to identify potential barriers to successful participation and determine how to resolve them, to ensure that target youth can access and sustain program services.
The Therapists and Mentors will also be trained to use evidence-based Motivational Interviewing (Ml), a useful technique for youth who are discouraged, frustrated, or not ready to participate in services. It helps to further engage them and work through an impasse if they are ambivalent or reluctant to engage in services. Ml differs from more "coercive", externally driven methods for motivating change as it does not impose change (that may be inconsistent with the person's own values, beliefs, or wishes), but rather supports change in a manner congruent with the person's own values and concerns. Ml will be a useful tool to engage, motivate, and sustain youth.
Plan for tailorinq services to participants' needs: CVPD will utilize criminal threat evaluations to identify youth in need of enhanced services. SBCS' therapists will use the evidence informed FWBA to assess protective and risk factors of youth and their families. The FWBA involves detailed discussion of strengths and issues, with client participation at every step. Focusing on strengths and assets, families consider 12 areas, placing themselves along a continuum from "No Need" to "Little Need" to "Extreme Need", including medical history and health care, substance abuse, family CaiVIP Proposal Narrative l Page 9 of 12
relations, parenting knowledge, children's education and school behaviors, adult's education, past involvement with law enforcement, housing, nutritional knowledge and capabilities, employment, income/budget needs and knowledge, and mental health. The FWBA provides quantitative and qualitative information on each family's increased knowledge of resources and services in which they participate. Based on the FWBA results, pathways for Therapy and/or Restorative Circles will be determined as follows:
Needs identified in Mental Health orAlcohol/Drug Use "+ Therapy (MBCT or TARGET) Needs identified in Family Relations, Legal Issues, orAlcohol/Drug Use 4 Restorative Circles Basic needs or other needs identified + SBCS services or other community supports n ermining erapy Ca a wou ne m
or any other of a variety of existing services, SBCS will have a collaborative discussion with the youth and, if applicable, the Probation Officer and Probation court orders (i.e., court-ordered participation in/completion of individual counseling and/or anger- management). SBCS will also factor in each youth's own wishes, as some will be more comfortable participating in individual counseling, while others may prefer to begin the process in a group setting.
3. Organizational Capacity and Coordination (Percent of Total Value: 20%)
3.I The Chula Vista Police Department's School Resource unit has a long-established history of being the most innovative and creative unit of its kind. The SRO unit and the police department enjoy wide ranging community support and have worked closely with SBCS to provide the juveniles in our community with the various resources needed to help them address their needs and to be successful. This grant will allow the Chula Vista Police Department and SBCS to enhance the current services they offer to help juveniles that are at risk of becoming violent offenders an opportunity to address the issues that put them in this position. SBCS' continuum of services is supported and sustained through a wide base of local, state and federal agencies as well as individual donors, corporations, and foundations. Future funding for these services is the responsibility SBCS' CEO, Board of Directors, and grant-writing team. SBCS' experience and strategic formula create sustainability over time through the leveraging of diverse funding sources, and limits liability and dependence upon any one support.
3.2 The proposed violence reduction strategies will enhance coordination of existing violence prevention and intervention programs by building on the current programs and adding an affer-care component that will provide the identified juveniles and their families with the mental health follow up and case management that is needed to CalVIP Proposal Narrative l Page 10 of 12
successfully manage their conditions. This strategy is not currently being used in our community and will coordinate with and enhance the other programs offered by SBCS.
3.3 The Chula Vista Police Department School Resource Officers are already performing this strategy on a minimal basis with the intent to expand the training to include the mental health component. CVPD SROs currently receive mental health training to be Psychiatric Emergency Response Team certified. Once the clinicians are selected by SBCS, SROs will work with them to receive on the job training to better understand their role so they can work seamlessly to assist the target population.
CVPD currently has a robust PEER support team and program to help our staff with their mental and physical wellbeing.
3.4 The Chula Vista Police Department personnel receive regular cultural competency training as well as hands on experience dealing with juveniles on a daily basis. Their training and experiences will help them to better communicate with the target population and to understand their obstacles and lived experiences
3.5 All of SBCS' current programs, including those that will be enhanced by this project, utilize pre- and post-surveys to identify best practices for serving youth at risk of and/or impacted by violence, and system-involved youth. In addition, the partnership with Project AWARE will incorporate individuals with lived experience in the justice system as mentors in this project.
3.6 The Chula Vista Police Department will contract services with SBCS as the subject matter experts and have the appropriate staff to help us implement the proposed violence reduction strategy. This partnership will provide CVPD with the capacity to provide the "aftercare" services and case management needed to make the strategy successful.
4. Project Evaluation and Monitoring (Percent of Total Value: 12%)
4.1 How Evaluation Activities will be Incorporated in Project Phases: The Applied Research Division of SANDAG will serve as evaluator. SANDAG has worked extensively with CVPD and SBCS on other grants and projects, so there is a strong partnership to build on. To ensure ongoing monitoring and quality control of proposed program implementation, as well as documenting and assessing whether it is achieving the intended goals and outcomes, SANDAG will conduct both a process and outcome evaluation. SANDAG staff will be involved from the beginning of program development to ensure evaluation accurately measures program goals and objectives, to develop CalVIP Proposal Narrative l Page 11 of 12
needed data collection tools, establish research timelines and protocols, and finalize the Local Evaluation Plan (LEP). SANDAG will be included in all team meetings and will create easy to read data dashboards documenting up-to-date information on client intakes, exits, and services received, which will be shared at meetings with partners to inform program implementation and the need For any midcourse adjustments.
4.2 Process and Outcome Measures: SANDAG has extensive experience with both process and outcomes measures and will work with the partners to develop the LEP and produce the final evaluation report that includes valid and reliable measures from multiple sources. Whenever possible, data from existing systems will be used. A list of potential process and outcome measures, includinq the research question to be addressed and the source(s) of the data is provided in the supplemental materials to Most of the outcomes are individual in nature and will focus on answering the question of how effective the model was and with whom. If awarded the grant, during the evaluation planning phase, all data collection procedures and instruments will be developed and finalized in collaboration with the key program partners to ensure valid and reliable data are collected.
Monitoring to Ensure Components are Implemented as Intended: Fidelity to model and program design is extremely important and as such, SANDAG staff will work with the partners throughout the grant period to understand the curriculum and proposed strategies and conduct surveys regarding perception of services received. When deviations from original strategies occur, these will also be documented, including the reason why.
4.3 Plan for How to Collect and Evaluate Data: SANDAG will work closely with the partners to utilize existing systems whenever possible. Baseline data will include crime data (e.g., calls for service) and individual level data. SANDAG staff have required background checks and familiarity and experience with the data systems that will be used to store and transfer data for the project.
Methodoloqy that will Assess if Intended Outcomes Achieved: As described in Table 1 (and will be finalized in the LEP), a mixed-method, quasi-experimental design will be employed to measure change over time among participants. Descriptive, bi-variate, and multi-variate analyses will be conducted to describe the population and identify and Factors predictive of success. As noted earlier, data results will be shared throughout the grant period with program stakeholders to inform program implementation and management.

Dear Chief Kennedy:
On behalf of Project A.W.A.R.E., I am pleased to express my support for Chula Vista Police Department's application for the California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant Program in partnership with SBCS. This important grant will help to strengthen and expand intervention and prevention services for at-risk youth and their families to reduce their involvement in violent crimes and prevent 'further escalation in the juvenile justice system. Chula Vista Police Department's experience partnering with community-based organizations to provide a range of prevention and intervention services for justice-system involved teens and young adults uniquely positions you to lead this much needed service for this high-risk population.
Project A.W.A.R.E. has worked with SBCS since 2019 as a partner in the Achievement Center, where we educate program youth and prepare them to take responsibility for their thoughts and actions through restorative circles. SBCS' programs for at-risk youth are critical parts of this community's coordinated efforts to provide support for youth and families. Project A.W.A.R.E will continue to work with SBCS and their Youth Prevention and Intervention Collaborative partners, including Chula Vista Police Department, to best serve San Diego County's youth and families. We strongly support this program as an important component of our community's integrated, neighborhood-based system of care.

The Applied Pesearch Division (ARD) ofthe San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) supports the Chula Vista Police Department's (CVPD) proposal to (BSCC) for the CalVlP Grant Program, Request for Proposals. The proposed project will improve public health and safety by supporting effective violence reduction initiatives, which align with the purpose ofthe CalVlP Program.
CVPD will partner with SBCS, one of the most respected non-profit organizations in San Diego Countyto implement initiativesto include community outreach programs and focused deterrence strategies, that seek to interrupt cycles of violence and retaliation in order to reduce the incidence of homicides, shootings and aggravated assaults.
At different times, APD has successfully partnered with both CVPD and SBCS on numerous other federal and state funded projects. APD has trusting and long-standing relationships with each organization, as both aredeeplycommittedtousingdatatodrivetheirpractices. Forthis project, APD will serve as the outside evaluator and conduct a process and outcome evaluation to measure how the project was implemented and what effect it had on the target population. Further, in this role, !V:'D wilt work with CVPD and SBCS to develop the Local Evaluation Plan, provide timely data to drive decisions, and complete and submit the Final Local Evaluation Report, in accordance with instructions outlined in the CaMP Grant proposal.
CVPD and SBCS have a history of working together to address the welfare ofthe community, with success in supporting victims, at-risk youth, and families dealing with homicides, gun violence, and violent crime. Both organizations are highly respected in the community and dedicated to carrying out their missions to serve the residents of Chula Vista through the provision of evidence informed practices. APD is excited to again partner with CVPD and SBCS on this project and support this application to BSCC CalVlP Grant.
