Minutes note: Appearing:
Reggie Moore - Office of Violence Prevention, Director
Jamal Smith -
Life testimony offered by Brishawn Voughn who, shared how he benefited from having a mentor who helped him get back on track and remove himself from the not so positive influences in his life. Everyone offered their support, affirmation and assistant to Mr. Voughn. It was a very encouraging and promising exchange.
Mr. Moore in his update of the office of Violence Prevention said that the OVP mission is to prevent and reduce violence through partnership that strengthen youth, families, and neighborhoods.
Activities of the OVP include Commission on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, Safe Visitation and Exchange Center, Coaching Boys to Men, Recast Milwaukee, Trauma Response Partnership, 414 Life and Blueprint LIFE for Peace.
The Office of Violence Prevention chart showed the different involvement they have with Family, Community, Youth, and the Blueprint that align programs, resources, and policies to strengthen violence prevention efforts. OVP has received 256 referrals as of June 2019.
Mr. Smith talked about the impact of violence that poses a serious threat to the health, safety, and well-being of Milwaukee residents. It has a severe impact on the physical well-being and mental health. It produces high rates of stress and anxiety therefore, increasing the likelihood of risky behaviors. Violence elevates the inequalities in marginalize communities by the lack of access to quality resources and opportunities. In a 2016 Violence Policy Center Report, data submitted to FBI by local enforcement agencies showed national statistics: Wisconsin has the second highest Black Homicide victimization rate in the nation, 91% are killed by guns, average age is 31 years old. 66% are victims who knew their offenders. 71% identified circumstances not related to new crime. Violence is a Public Health Crisis.
