ENCLOSURES:
FILE:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
authorizing the funding of the Non -Violence Project, and allocating funds therefor, in an amount
not to exceed $75,000. Funding is available from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project
Numbers 690001, 690002, and 690003.
BACKGROUND:
The Police Department is committed to the education and development of the youth in our city. In
order to make a significant impact on the reduction of gang violence and gang related crimes, the
department, aside from enforcement measures utilizes education and intervention strategies as an
added tool to its policing efforts.
The Non -Violence Project, founded in 1993, is an international youth -based organization
committed to radically changing attitudes about violence and inspiring, motivating and engaging
young people around the world in positive action against violence. The goal of the Non -Violence
Project is to implement educational programs that can reach the youth directly and to support
already existing organizations with the objective of creating a change by getting to the root of
violent behavior. The symbol of the project is a knotted gun image. The Project has worked
cooperatively with the Police Department in the fight against youth gang violence, and has proven
to have had a positive impact within the City of Miami.
