Prevention/Places Hot spot policing 2.0 • Beat officers, street supervisors, and district command staff will increase their visibility in identified hot spot areas. • Each hot spot will be assigned a ‘dosage’ – for example, a beat officer will be required to mark out for 15 minutes of community policing in the hot spot in their beat every two hours. • This will be done with vehicle, bike, and foot patrols, and stationary positions. • Officers will be tasked with building stronger relationships with neighbors and businesses in their assigned areas of responsibility during this time. • Supervisors will be held accountable for ensuring the hot spots within their responsibility receive the prescribed dosage.

Prevention/Places Beat policing • In 2018, IMPD returned to community-based beat policing, which allows every neighborhood to know their officer, and every officer to know their neighborhood. • On Monday, IMPD expanded the number of beats in the city from 78 to 106, shrinking the size of each beat - the smaller area of responsibility allows officers to spend more time building relationships. • To learn what beat they live in, residents can visit: inmaps.indy.gov/impdbeatlookup

Prevention/Places B.Link • B.Link (Business Link) Pro – harnesses cloud-based technology to connect IMPD intelligence detectives with security camera systems. • Improves police response, furthers investigations, and deters crime. • Live streams are not monitored by IMPD, but accessed after a call for service or report of a public safety threat. • Indy Public Safety Foundation is liaison between IMPD and businesses. • Three businesses and two apartment communities have been successfully integrated as part of B.Link Pro. • Cameras being installed on the downtown canal walk by the Department of Metropolitan Development will be the newest additions to the B.Link Pro program. • BLinkindy.org

Intervention/People Homeless Outreach • Work to build trust and long-lasting relationships with un-housed individuals, which has proven to be effective in overcoming obstacles that to accomplishing end goal of permanent supportive housing. • City has launched a non-congregate housing program to offer individuals experiencing homelessness safe, secure temporary accommodations in hotel rooms and a pathway to more permanent housing options. MCAT/BHU • The Mobile Crisis Assistance Team pairs an officer with a mental health clinician, focusing on real-time crises and active police runs. • The Behavioral Health Unit pairs an officer with a mental health clinician to follow up on immediate detentions and address chronic distresses.

Enforcement/People Continued partnership with local, state, federal law enforcement • Indianapolis Violence Reduction Partnership : re-established in 2017, leverages the combined resources of community, local, state, and federal partners to focus on the small group of individuals responsible for the majority of violence in the region. • Crime Gun Intelligence Center : focuses on the timely collection and analysis of crime gun evidence, linking criminal shooting events to investigate and build strong criminal cases against trigger-pullers to disrupt the gun violence cycle. • Collaboration between IMPD, ATF, Marion County Forensic Services Agency, U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana, Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, and IU as a research partner. • So far in 2020, this effort has resulted in the arrest of 129 violent individuals and the removal of 127 crime guns from the community.

Enforcement/People Expanding staffing in units focused on violent crime : • Homicide Unit • CGIC • Violent Crime Unit (VCU) – specialty unit focused on covert investigations and warrant services for violent suspects

Other updates • Body worn cameras • IMPD has signed a contract with Utility to begin equipping officers with body worn cameras. • Officers who respond to 9-1-1 calls – beat officers, street supervisors, and special units – will be equipped with cameras, a total of 1,100 officers. • Installations expected to begin the first week of August at a goal rate of 10 officers per day. • indy.gov/activity/body-worn-camera-program • Staffing • 21st Recruit Class sworn-in on Monday. • Lateral class planned for fall. • Pre-Academy Readiness (PAR) workshop each Tuesday evening, continues to have high attendance. • JoinIMPD.indy.gov

Prevention/People In 2020, nearly $4 million is being invested in community-based crime and violence prevention: • Victim and Witness Assistance Program continues to provide support to victims and witnesses of crimes who cooperate in investigations and/or prosecutions. • Community Crime Prevention Grant Program administered by the Indianapolis Foundation will award more than $2.75 million. • Funds available for this program have doubled since 2016. • OPHS has worked with CICF to focus these dollars more on violence prevention and increase accountability for grantees. • Community-Based Violence Reduction Partnership grant program administered by OPHS accepted applications through 6/30, will award total of $300,000 to grassroots groups in coming weeks.

Prevention/People Public education campaign • OPHS is partnering with Radio One to launch a campaign utilizing public affairs programming along with radio spots and digital assets to promote the violence prevention initiatives of grantees as well as resources they offer for those at risk. • ‘Street Lights are On’ Campaign: a social media campaign focused on encouraging parents and the greater community to act for the well-being of our city’s children. • Community leaders each utilize their platforms to reach a wider audience. • Anyone can get involved.
