Community Engagement
Defined as:
Any opportunity for our officers and the department to develop and enhance trusting relationships with residents & visitors to our community.
The Crime Prevention Unit coordinates many of these engagements.
The expectation is all BPD staff have a responsibility to participate in community engagement.
Patrol Officers are expected to conduct Community Engagement in between calls for service
Community Engagement
Participation Includes
Large-Scale – Coordinated - Annual/Recurrent Events
Est. 140
New in 2020 – Community Conversations

Community Engagement
500 (Typical Non-COVID Year) Community Outreach activities in response to a community issues or need:
Group home visits
Meetings w/families in crisis
Follow-up visits to problem addresses
Regular meetings with
Local Organizations, houses of worship, businesses, property managers
On-going meetings w/MOA security team, 435 neighborhood watch groups
Dropping by schools and parks to spend time with youth
Community Conversations, had been scheduled monthly in various neighborhoods throughout the city (delayed due to COVID)
Why Community Engagement?
Community Engagement helps build trust and opens lines of communications with residents and visitors to our city.
At nearly every event our officers are approached by someone expressing a concern or requesting police assistance
“Low stress” engagement opportunities help maintain ongoing communication and respond to community concerns
Continue to develop and enhance the level of community trust between residents and the department
Helps us keep our fingers on the pulse of the community to recognize issues and needs of various groups residing in our community and develop target responses aimed at preventing crime and building a safer community
Better communications with the community can lead to crime reductions

Joint Community Police Partnership (JCPP)
Partnership with Hennepin County (75%/25% cost sharing – BPD pays 25% $30,000/Annually)
Program is focused on building trust and communication between the Police Department and our diverse residents, including immigrant and refugee communities
As the city continues to diversify it is essential to invest recourses to reach out to these communities and helping prepare our officers to better serve the diverse communities
JCPP
Program integrated into our Crime Prevention Unit and works collaboratively to ensure the Department’s outreach and engagement activities are inclusive of the needs of our diverse community.
Work has included providing training to both the police and community
Designing new programs and expanding existing programs with emphasis on engaging more diverse participants

Mental Health/Crisis Calls
New Crisis Response policy was implemented last year.
Part of the policy was aimed at improving the way we track and report the number of crisis/mental health calls the officers respond to each year
Starting in April 2019 we began using a Crisis Response Report (these reports are required when the officers are on a crisis call when a transport hold or police report were not needed
The first four months since the change in April 2019, we received a total of 272 Crisis Response & Medical Transport Hold reports

Mental Health/Crisis (Training)
In addition we have sending officers to a 40 hour C.I.T. (Crisis Intervention Training).
At this time 50+ officers have completed the training, the goal is to have the entire department complete the training (due to COVID several classes were cancelled this spring).
Crisis calls have spiked in the recent years. According the Allina EMS there were approximately 750 Crisis calls in in 2012. In 2016 that number had nearly doubled to 1400 calls.
In 2020 (to date) we have received 868 calls for crisis/mental health issues (CAD Data)
