STOP the Violence
News & Updates
The City of Pittsburgh STOP the Violence Office exists to change the community narrative about violence and stop the spread of the disease of violence in the City. While we are concerned as well with the surrounding areas and will share solutions and events in those areas, we only have jurisdiction in the City. We would be pleased to share our knowledge and strategies with any jurisdiction outside of the City.

Speaking Up:
Mayor Ed Gainey


"We want zero gun violence"

Mayor Gainey again spoke eloquently and prophetically at the March 22 Homewood Community Meeting organized by the Mayor's Office and held at the Community Empowerment Association.

Before a packed auditorium, Mayor Gainey stated that "We want zero gun violence".
Realizing that many in the audience might be skeptical of such a lofty goal, the Mayor continued by saying: "Some people will say that's unrealistic. But I say, is trying unrealistic? If the ancestors didn't try ... So do you still think it's unrealistic? Then let's go get it!"

To see Mayor Gainey's entire 12 minute speech, please click on the box below. The entire meeting video is over an hour; however, Mayor Gainey mentions the zero violence goal around minute 15 (unfortunately, the sound quality is sometimes poor).
Poll #2: Is Mayor Gainey's goal of "zero gun violence" worth pursuing?
Yes
No

GVI Support & Outreach

A Public Health Approach to Violence Prevention-Part 3


Can your organization compliment the strategy?
A central component in the City of Pittsburgh’s public health approach to violence prevention strategy is its Group Violence Intervention initiative (known as GVI). GVI uses a multi-aspect strategy including:

  • Informed street outreach and social service support
  • Informed community members reinforcing community norms rejecting violence
  • Law enforcement in partnership with the community
 
Pittsburgh’s Public Health Approach to Violence Prevention-Part 1 was featured in the August 2021 STOP the Violence Newsletter which can be accessed HERE. Part 2, including GVI and its complete logic model, was featured in the October 2021 Newsletter and can be accessed HERE.il
How does support and outreach work?
 
Recent research on GVI’s support and outreach component was released this month by the National Network for Safe Communities (NNSC). The report explains that in GVI, traditional “social services'' are replaced with a structure “tailored to members of the
special core street population, their situation, and their needs.” This is done because “many GVI clients are not ready for traditional social services like remedial education and employment training … these clients instead receive ‘support and outreach.’ Support is defined as ‘providing centralized and accessible services for people at high risk of violence.’” Outreach is defined as ‘’making deliberate, persistent, and consistent connections to people involved in violence to foster new relationships and build community.”
For the entire report on Support and Outreach, click HERE.
 
Some of the problems with traditional social services include: providers often preferring to work with those who are “ready to change,” and people directly involved with gun violence often are not; challenging goals such as avoiding violent victimization and offending and avoiding arrest and imprisonment; restrictive conditions for participation; negative and discouraging experiences with service providers by many core population members; and service offerings not appropriate for the GVI population’s real-world situation, which is frequently extraordinarily dangerous and chaotic."
Pittsburgh’s Support and Outreach
 
In Pittsburgh, GVI’s support and outreach, known as Reach, is delivered through a contract with The Center that Cares, a Hill District based nonprofit that has workers strategically placed in many City neighborhoods. Reach has highly trained and skilled workers who have lots of experience in this field, they understand Pittsburgh’s model and are connected to the people in the communities that they are working and living in.



Left, Reach outreach team members Jason Akers, Keyshawn Brooks, Ayo Young and Vaughn Rivers with Mayor Gainey
According to Reverend Cornell Jones, Director of Street Outreach for the City of Pittsburgh “I know our outreach is successful because community members and people who are close to situations have told me that if it weren’t for the outreach worker, they might have done something much worse than what actually happened. The relationship they had with the worker and the resources, attention and even love that they provided helped stop them from doing something that might have gotten them locked up in the penitentiary for the rest of their life or even killed.”
Support and Outreach Best Practices
NNSC’s research from around the country has shown that effective outreach and support includes these best practices:

The Goal: Staying alive and out of prison. Create “a comprehensive partnership of providers with the explicit goal of keeping clients alive, unhurt, and out of prison, and formal tracking and metrics commensurate with that goal (rather than, for example, job placement and retention alone). Support and outreach will include an overall recognition that movement in that direction is progress and positive (rather than, for instance, that not getting or keeping a job is “failure”). The partnership will recognize and address street culture, trauma, and objective risk—not unemployment—as the primary drivers of violence. We will mobilize known approaches—and work to develop new ones—to challenge the “street code” that drives violence, identify and address “beefs” and retaliatory cycles, change people’s behavior in ways that do not require arrest and incarceration, and treat trauma.”

·        Actually reach out.  “Leaving the streets is, for most, an ongoing process” and will take “deliberate, persistent, and consistent outreach to people involved in violence to foster new relationships and community, mentorship from people with similar pasts to help transition out of the street life, and removing obstacles that have prohibited these individuals from receiving help and building legitimate community relationships.” 
·        Protect from risk. Communicate with all parties to a dispute “to head off violence and retaliation. Outreach workers will work on both sides of conflicts, and the system overall will provide unbiased relief and services to both victims and perpetrators of violent crime.”

Address trauma. "Recognize, honor and address trauma, develop treatment resources, cognitive behavior therapy, post-homicide support, and peer recovery group settings for sharing and debriefing. Offer help to people involved in group violence, who often have internalized the idea that they are bad and worthless, to understand their worth and articulate their needs."

·        Provide critical resources.  “Address emergency needs and provide low-level but critical resources not commonly taken seriously or budgeted for”, including “clearing outstanding warrants, licensing and ID assistance, phone and mail service, child care, transportation, emergency housing and food assistance, funeral costs, navigating bureaucracy, and the like.”

·        Support the whole family. Provide help “not only for people directly involved in violence but also for their family members. Whether that be diapers for children or CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) for a mother, creating a more secure home and family life.”

·        Connect to traditional services. “Close links to traditional services—education, work, life skills, family support, etc.—will make it easier to move people into those services as they stabilize and become ready.”
Reports Rev. Jones, “One guy we worked with was a new father and a lot of the stuff he did on the streets was to provide for his children. We were able to connect him with fatherhood programs where he’s able to get items like diapers and access to a support group of young and older fathers who talk about ways to be a good father. Since our client didn’t grow up around his father, he didn’t know what to do. Now he has a support system.”
 
Reverend Cornell Jones
Director of Street Outreach
City of Pittsburgh
“This helps prevent violence because now he sees that if he gets arrested or killed, how that will negatively affect his children. The outreach workers were the ones who were able to direct him to the resources in order to get that support. Attention, time and community are extremely important. Letting someone see that they are important to all of us helps people stay out of jail and stay alive. It also helps them find their purpose.” 
The Village Must Keep Asking
 
It is “vital that an offer of legitimate assistance is given. People involved in group violence have been failed by social services before and will likely be distrustful. Follow through and honesty about what support and outreach can (and can’t) be provided are imperative for increasing the likelihood of people closest to group violence taking up services. Word spreads quickly among group members about … promises and offers of help from support and outreach. Tailoring legitimate support and outreach toward a city’s GVI population—those most likely to be the victims or perpetrators of violence— can and will help prevent harm to individuals and their communities at large.”
 
The NNSC study concludes: “Many people who are offered services through GVI will not choose to access them. This does not make the offer of legitimate, helpful, and accessible services any less important. Research does show a causal reduction in violent crime created by nonprofits focused on reducing violence and building stronger communities. The presence of service organizations—not even necessarily anti-violence organizations— does have an impact on violent crime.” 
How you can help
 
Community efforts to compliment the GVI strategy are encouraged. Rev. Jones states: “Other community members, businesses and ministries can help too, even if they don’t have the skills to be an outreach worker, they can help us by sharing resources that can be directed towards the vulnerable population. We need everything that community members need in order to be successful from food to employment to fatherhood and motherhood support.” To get involved, please send an email to the STOP the Violence Office by clicking HERE.
 
A funding opportunity for violence prevention efforts that will enhance the GVI strategy should be forthcoming within a few weeks. If you’re interested in learning more about this funding opportunity, please complete the poll below or send an email HERE.

PIRC Movement -
A Supportive Community For Returning Citizens

Partners Needed
Positive Initiative to Reinforce Change (PIRC) Movement is a weekly self-help support group run by and intended for individuals reentering the community from incarceration and their families, supporters and other compassionate community members. At each Tuesday night PIRC Movement meeting, participants share their experiences with the group. Since everyone has life experiences to share, ANYONE (including YOU) is welcome to participate and join!
“PIRC Movement is important because it shows individuals coming out of prison that they’re not alone in the struggle and don’t have to go back to prison. We uplift one another. It’s just so important,” said Rodger Jay, PIRC Movement meeting conductor and a Peer Support Specialist for Foundation of HOPE. Rodger admits that he “was part of the problem” which resulted in him being shot in the head. Ultimately, he spent 25 years in various prisons.   

During the one-hour meeting, participants share their challenges; learn about resources; network; and set goals for addressing social, relational, intellectual, vocational, spiritual, and emotional needs. 
PIRC Movement is a project of Foundation of HOPE, which offers a comprehensive array of services to reentering individuals, including basic needs assistance (transportation, clothing, ID’s, toiletries, furniture), housing and employment support and referrals, counseling, and one-on-one mentoring.
Additional locations and partners are now being sought for PIRC Movement meetings. If you'd like to start a PIRC Movement group in your community, or
to refer someone to PIRC Movement, just show up at 7:00 pm on Tuesday at 540 Suismon Street (Rear), 15212 (Northside) OR contact Foundation of HOPE's Aftercare office at 412-321-3343 or email: HERE.

"YOU are the answer"


Mayor Gainey spoke at a February 11, 2021 Stop the Violence Prayer Vigil and Rally organized by the South Pittsburgh Coalition for Peace. The Mayor made a few key points:
Mayor Ed Gainey
"There’s nobody coming in our neighborhoods to stop the violence except for the ones who live in the neighborhood.

"If you want to stop this killing, don’t look around, look inside.

"Until we adults get off social media arguing and fighting with one another like they’re 10 or 11 years old, but in the next sentence saying ‘we need peace’. Now how are you saying ‘we need peace’ while you’re on social media talking violence? 

"We’ve got to change our ways. How are we going to save us when you hide in the silence? Somebody knows what’s happening in these killings. We look downtown to police to solve it, but we won’t cooperate.  It’s time for us to step up.

Something You Can Do:

Pray For Peace and Against Violence

Anyone can pray for peace and against violence either alone or as part of the STOP the Violence Prayer Team. If prayer is important to you, please pray whenever and wherever possible against violence.
Eastminster Presbyterian Church in East Liberty prays weekly for peace in the City, for Outreach workers who are attempting to reduce violence, and for law enforcement. Senior Pastor Paul Roberts says that they adopted the challenge to pray against violence and for peace because "we are called to be peacemakers and regular prayer is a foundational step in doing that. I would encourage others to pray for peace and not just to stop the violence."
The Reverend Paul Roberts
Senior Pastor
Eastminster Presbyterian Church
According to Pastor Roberts, regular praying "keeps peace in the mind and heart of out community. It causes us to discuss and ask questions like what should we be doing."
If you, your pastor or spiritual leader or your place of worship or church sign up for the non-denominational prayer team, you will receive periodic prayer request emails and notices about faith-based initiatives to prevent violence and increase peace in our community. You can sign up HERE.
Training:
Group Violence Intervention +
Pittsburgh's Group Violence Intervention initiative (GVI) is a proven strategy to reduce shootings and homicides in urban neighborhoods by using a multi-aspect strategy:

  • informed street outreach and social services to prevent violence,
  • involved community members reinforcing community norms rejecting violence; and
  • law enforcement in partnership with the community when other means are not effective.

For additional information on GVI, including its history and rationale, see this hour-long webinar from Mayors Against Illegal Guns entitled Re-imagining Public Safety: Group Violence Intervention and Intimate Partner Intervention: Webinar. The password is: MAIGUn1versity!

Pittsburgh’s Group Violence Intervention (GVI) violence prevention strategy, including the complete logic model, was featured in the October 2021 STOP the Violence Newsletter which can be accessed HERE.

Support and outreach for GVI are coordinated by Rev. Cornell Jones, Director of Outreach who can be contacted at [email protected].
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, Atlanta City Council President Felicia Moore and Seattle Council President Lorena Gonzalez headed the list of speakers in a ten hour webinar on August 18 and 19, 2021 organized by the Center on Media, Crime and Justice at John Jay College to help journalists and the public gain greater understanding on efforts to address the rising levels of gun violence in at-risk communities.
The series focused on prevention and intervention strategies. Leaders of community intervention strategies and programs in Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Sacramento discussed what is and isn’t working in their cities. Pittsburgh’s efforts compare quite favorably with these efforts. 

The webinar consists of seven sessions, each lasting from 30 to 90 minutes. A table of contents is available so you can watch a particular session. Please take a look HERE.

Facts & Stats:

From February 2022

Below are selected crime statistics from the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. These statistics are from the period January 1 to February 28, 2022. These only cover the City, not any areas of Allegheny County which are outside of the City.

City of Pittsburgh Police Zones:
A few statistics of note:

  • There were 4 homicides in February 2022. This is the same as in January 2022.
  • There were twice as many homicides in February as in January.
  • 4 homicides in February is above the 4 year average of 3 homicides.
  • 5 non-fatal shooting incidents in February was less than half the number of incidents as in January and the lower than 2019, 2020 and 2021.
  • There were no homicides in police zones 1,2,4 or 6 in February.
  • No homicides occurred in police zones 3 or 4.
  • The most homicides in 2022 were in zones 3 and 5 (3 homicides in each zone).
  • The most non-fatal shooting incidents in 2022 have been in zone 5.
  • There were no non-fatal shooting incidents or homicides in zone 4 in January or February.

Note: The 17 non-fatal shooting incidents in January and February 2022 resulted in a total of 20 victims.

Using a public health approach to violence prevention means attempting to understand the proximate and secondary causes of violence and tailoring solutions to fit the impacted population. There is no one answer.

Tips for You:

#1: Keep your handgun safe

Keeping a gun secure from accidental discharge or theft is absolutely a good idea. It is a serious responsibility that rests solely on the gun owner and requires the proper equipment to prevent the worst-case scenario. Police regularly report instances when lawfully owned firearms are used in unanticipated ways by relatives, friends and strangers.

Two options are gun safes and gun locks.

Free Gun Safe. To assist you keeping your gun secure, get a FREE gun safe at UPMC Children's Hospital's Safer Firearm Storage Event at the Community Engagement Center in Homewood on April 19 from 5 to 7 pm. No registration is required. Contact [email protected] or 412-692-5931 for additional information. See the flyer below.

Free Gun Locks. the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is providing free gun locks for all members of the public while supplies last. Locks may be picked up at Pittsburgh Police Headquarters or at any of the 6 Pittsburgh Police Zones. For addresses, click HERE.


#2: Don't leave a key fob in your keyless entry car!

If your key fob is inside your car, anyone can start it in a second. Cars are regularly reported stolen where a key fob (often the spare key fob) was in the glove compartment or center console.

Don't make your car an easy target. Lock your car at all times and take all key fobs with you when you leave the vehicle.

Safety begins with you making good decisions!



Call Us If You Become Aware of a Dispute

If you hear of a school, social media or community dispute that needs to be defused before it leads to violence, please let us know. We would like to take positive steps to resolve such disputes before law enforcement must be called.

Please report any such disputes or issues to: STOP the Violence Office or text to 412-522-7286.

Domestic Violence Help:

Violence is not an acceptable method to resolve issues between friends or partners. If there are threats, please seek help!

When in danger, call 911 immediately.
