16. Early morning times of darkness in the area where shooting
occurred High risk area for future incident Associate and fellow
gang member of victim recently moved in the area where shooting
occurred; most likely the reason victim was in the area Problem
Analysis Triangle Law enforcement is limited on their ability to
control gun violence due to the existing and growing gang culture
which advocates drug use , drug sales, and gun violence The Stop
Snitching code of silence is also an obstacle law enforcement
attempts to overcome This so-called code has expanded to include
all citizens in the city which leads to little or no cooperation
from citizens and witnesses in the high risk area A residence
located at 709 10th St was addressed due to increased foot and
vehicle traffic, loitering, and the known gang members who frequent
the address Curfew violations were closely monitored and enforced
Increase in police presence in the affected areas including foot
and bike patrols
17. Offenders Victims Unclear and often muddles with potential
victims Known gang member All persons known to carry firearms
should be considered suspects Prior arrests The high risk affected
area is known for a high volume of drug sales who carry firearms to
protect themselves Gun violence Without being able to identify
specific offenders contributing to gun violence the offenders or
potential victims can be generalized loiterers in the late evening
and early morning hours in the high risk area around 10th St. Past
history with robberies, assaults, and drug dealing Problem and high
risk persons can be classified as young , black males loitering in
groups in the high risk area The victim and offenders share the
same characteristics so they must be addressed together To bridge
the gap between the community at large and the police department a
partnership between families of the potential victims/offenders
should be built with an emphasis on public safety
18. A ZERO TOLERANCE policy was adopted by law enforcement for
loitering, trespassing, and curfew violations Non consent to
trespass stickers were used to keep specific addresses from
becoming a problem
19. LOCATION: In order to reduce the amount of loitering by the
victim and other gang members, Non consent to trespass paperwork
was signed by tenants at various locations COP officers established
a relationship and trust with these tenants by ensuring the
importance of overall public safety for the neighborhood
20. VICTIM/OFFENDER: The victim and other gang members were
identified by Officer Stulo because of their gang activity in the
Mead St. COP area The victim and problem gang members were advised
NOT to frequent high risk areas A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE VICTIMS
PARENTS AND FAMILY WAS DEVELOPED TO KEEP THE GROUP FROM GATHERING
IN THESE HIGH RISK AREAS
21. A possible suspect in this incident was apprehended by
Officer Stulo and Jungbluth Because of a preexisting partnership in
the community, COP officers received and anonymous tip from a
citizen which resulted in the suspect surrendering
