CURE VIOLENCE HEALTH APPROACH PRESENTATION Dover De. Ronald J. Brown Jr.

CURE VIOLENCE 101, •Violence is sometimes acceptable? •Violence in any form is never acceptable? •Violence is a learned behavior?

THE PROBLEM, •Homicide is the second leading cause of death among Americans aged 15-34

THEORIES ABOUT THE POSSIBLE CAUSES OF VIOLENCE, • Violence is….. • Learned from role models • Caused by social forces (e.g., lack of opportunity, racism, poverty, etc. • A cultural norm in subgroups • A series of events or interactions between co- disputants that can escalate into homicide

STOP SHOOTINGS & KILLINGS BY: • Working with those most closely associated with the problem • Working in communities that are disproportionately effected • Basing our approach on data and research • Focusing on behaviors

MODEL APPROACH •Interrupt Transmission •Behavior Change •Change Community Norms

BEHAVIOR CHANGE, WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT? •Information •Skills •Overcoming barriers •Feelings about doing it •What friends think

THE BEST “CHANGE AGENTS” ARE •Credible •Opinion leaders •From target group •Empathetic •Helpful •Make strong effort

THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL: IDENTIFICATION & DETECTION • Identify and detect -potential shooting events -Individuals & groups at highest risk of involvement in a shooting or killing • Use all sources & possible points of entry: -Notice from law enforcement -Hospitals -Schools –Calls from the Community

INTERRUPTION, INTERVENTION, & RISK REDUCTION • Intervene in crises -Help individuals deal with “in the moment” stressful events or situations without shooting • Mediate conflicts between individuals &/ or groups -Prevent larger scale events or retaliatory violence • Provide ongoing behavior change & support to individuals using outreach workers & others -foster behavior change by providing info, & skills -Connect clients to social services

CHANGE BEHAVIORS & NORMS • Inform & train individuals & groups on specific strategies to bring about behavior change • Mobilize community to change norms -Organize responses to all shooting events -Sponsor community events -Engage faith leaders •Educate the public -Launch & promote Specific Campaigns to enforce key messages

MULTIPLE MESSENGERS CHANGE WHAT IN “NORMAL” • Outreach Workers • Violence Interrupters • Peers • Family members Social Norms • Community members Risk Factors “LESS SHOOTINGS” • Faith leaders Alternatives to • Doctors Violence • Police • Champions

THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL: DATA AND MONITORING • Collect/analyze data from sources/points of entry • Evaluate clients based on high risk criteria • Monitor work(e.g., worker caseloads, # of interventions/mediations • Measure outcomes(e.g., risk levels, shootings, change in norms) to inform refinements to approach

YOU MUST HAVE THE RIGHT, • Community • Participants • Workers • Partners • Public education • Community Mobilization • Documentation • Outcomes

PARTICIPANTS FIT (4) OF THE FOLLOWING •16-25 years old activity •Recently released •Gang involved from prison •Unemployed •Recently shot •On •History of violence probation/parole •Weapons Carrier •Key role in gang •Engaged in high risk

THE RIGHT WORKERS FOR THIS WORK “VERY VERY” IMPORTANT, • Able to relate to • Identify & detect highest risk • Interrupt • Credible • Change norms • Connection to target group • Streetwise

Memorandum Office of the City Manager PO Box 475 Dover, DE 19903 Phone: (302) 736-7005 FAX: (302) 736-7002 E-mail: skoenig@dover.de.us To: Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee Members From: Scott D. Koenig, P.E. City Manager Date: April 22, 2015 Subject: Evaluation of Proposals - Ambulance Service Contract A number of questions were raised during the discussion of the proposed Ambulance Service Contract at the March 23, 2015 meeting. The City’s current Ambulance Service vendor, PrimeCare Medical Transport, LLC has issued correspondence dated April 14, 2015 (Labeled as Attachment #1) to address those questions. Primecare viewed the posted minutes and responded as requested. Included in their response are two items of clarification to the RFP that will aid in understanding their written response. These items are labeled as Attachment #2 and Attachment #3. Also attached is a letter from Mr. Christopher Clough (Attachment #4) who represents Heartline. Both PrimeCare Medical Transport, LLC and HeartLine will have representatives at the meeting on Monday, April 27, 2015 to respond directly to any and all questions. In the letter from Mr. Christopher Clough (Attachment #4), he states that the City of Dover currently has a contract with Camden-Wyoming. This is not an accurate representation of the relationship. His reference to the “contract” is actually a dual signature letter outlining the reasons for the donation from City of Dover to Camden-Wyoming (as well as Cheswold) each year for aiding with ambulance runs in the Robbins Hose Fire District. As an additional point of clarification, I confirmed with Chief Mark Hall from Dover Fire that he has not been in any discussion with Camden Fire/Ambulance about housing ambulances at Robbins Hose Fire Stations as alluded to in the meeting on March 23, 2015. During a meeting on Wednesday, April 22, 2015, Mr. Clough indicated that Heartline could have their service up and running comfortably by August 1, 2015. The committee should consider all of this information prior to voting on a final recommendation. Heartline cannot be considered unless the committee is willing to waive the requirement for five (5) years of established experience or they are willing to equate the running of the existing service as applicable operating experience. The staff recommendation has not changed from our original recommendation at this time. Thank you for your consideration of my comments. SDK/sdk

Attachment #1 PrimeCare Medical Transport, LLC. primecaremt63@aol.com P.O. Box 839 Milford, DE 19963 302-422-0900 April 14, 2015 Reference: Questions concerning RFP 1) Per Addendum #1 of the RFP, dated 1/15/15 - 6.4 Staff the dedicated ambulance w/a minimum of one EMT and one qualified driver. Please see copy of addendum provided. Marked Exhibit A PrimeCare Medical Transport, LLC. has only two part-time drivers working in the 911 sector, both of which have multiple years of experience driving an emergency ambulance. It is our preference to use two EMT’s when staffing allows, which is a majority of all shifts. 2) The clarification of the language of 6.4 in the RFP, referring to staffing of two EMT’s was changed in the Agreement dated April 2007 to read “a minimum of one EMT-B and one qualified driver”. Please see the copy provided. Marked Exhibit B 3) PrimeCare Medical Transport, LLC. has had the same Supervisor, Mary Wendler, for the 911 Sector for the past eleven years with us, and seventeen years total of 911 Supervisor experience with the City of Dover 911. Mrs. Wendler also has and maintains her EMT-B/NREMT-B License for the past 17 years. We also have three Field Training Officers, 2 of which have over 20 years of experience each as an EMT-B. 4) PrimeCare Medical Transport has been a Smoke free establishment since June 10, 2011. Please see memos provided. Marked Exhibit C We have provided the City of Dover and its Citizens with Emergency Ambulance Service for the past eleven years. We feel our experience over the years have proven to be a great asset to the community. Any issues that have come about, after being reviewed by the City of Dover staff, had always been determined to be reasonable. We hope to continue to be of service to the City of Dover in the future. Thank you, Larry Bradley, CEO Karen Fry, CFO
