Safe, secure&thriving `Cities of Opportunities'through evidence-based 21st Century Community Building &Neighborhood Engagement
programs addressing crime prevention, poverty, youth social &racial understanding, reentry&increased job opportunities.
6.What is the target group for this project?
Owners and customers of minority owned African American and Hispanic barbershops and beauty salons in Areas of Concentrated Poverty
(ACP's)located in FTW Council District 2, District 3, District 5, District 6, District 8 and District 9.
Since the turn of the 19th century, minority owned shops have been central hubs of importance in the Black and Latino community. They
are symbolic of town plazas where citizens congregate, socialize and have a strong sense of belonging. Shops are places of activism
where citizens, young and old, address social issues and the need for reform.
Shcfr3 'gyp dr dim ik3n�� e)� } i� rge i�t chance employment for the formerly incarcerated and are excellent eAa-Imples for

African American/Hispanic entrepreneurship. Owners are viewed as community ambassadors, mentors and advocates for their
neighborhood, especially in times of social unrest. Owners and employees can play a huge part in counseling and guiding young adults
desperately trying to understand a chaotic world that seems to be upside down and full of hate.
Shop owners and their establishments are safe environments for discussing and resolving contemporary social issues.The secret to their
longevity is their continued social impact and role in community building.They provide a window into America's complex history and
complicated racial dynamics. Minority owned barbershops and beauty salons are fertile ground for building bridges of trust and putting
UNITY back into the commU
7.What is the crime/safety problem you are addressing?
The unwinding of law and order has happened at an alarming speed. Today's violent crime increase—called Ferguson Effect 2.0 or the
Minneapolis Effect-has come on with a speed and magnitude that makes Ferguson 1.0 seem tranquil. In many underserved communities,
the general feeling is that the justice system is not working.This has led to uncertainty, anger, mistrust and a devastating increase in
violent crime. Fort Worth's violent crime is up 26.% (2019 to 2020)and homicides increased 62%.
Areas of Concentrated Poverty have acutely visible signs of escalating crime, anti-social behavior, high rates of homelessness(significantly
increases the risk of reoccurring incarceration of mentally disordered offenders), substance use and economic decline.The COVID effects
had a devastating impact on vulnerable minority owned businesses(MEB's)who face precarious financial positions with limited inventory,
limited access to bank loans/recapitalization as well as issues due recent changes and unintended consequences, i.e. one
burglary/robbery can bankrupt a small business) in prosecuting misdemeanor offenses.
Negative race relations between law enforcement and communities of color are at an all time high (George Floyd, Atatiana Jefferson).For
months, differences reinforced by anti-police pop culture and national media fanning the flames of unrest have resulted in civil unrest and
the destruction of personal property and businesses, primarily in the underserved communities.
8.What are the causes of the crime/safety problem identified in the previous question?
Nineteen percent of America's population live in an ACP with a third living below the poverty line. Communities of color experience
significant economic disinvestment,food insecurities, generational incarceration, accessibility to affordable housing, health care and
education. The decline of thriving commercial districts due to crime/blight has a multiplier effect, i.e.foreclosures, loss of tax revenue, and
leads to declining neighborhood safety.The greatest threat to community revitalization is crime and the biggest generator of crime is
community disintegration.
The price of poverty is complacency, lack of hope, mental health issues,feelings of systemic racism and the breakdown of the family unit.
It takes several generations for a family to rise out of poverty, even longer if a family is suffering from generational incarceration. Parental
presence in a child's life affects their social/emotional wellbeing...father absence,father deficit,father hunger. Children lacking guidance
look to the streets and social media for approval which leads to delinquency and crime. Neighborhoods need community leaders (business
owners, 1st responders)to serve as role models which helps defuse social unrest and associated crimes.The cycle of poverty runs deep
as barriers of employment,financial assistance and racial misunderstanding impact everyone and disrupts law and order everywhere.
9.How will your strategy address those causes?
Shop TalkJUNA Comunidad is an evidence-based collaborative 21st Century Community Building and Neighborhood Engagement initative
concentrated in African American and Hispanic neighborhoods. Our team supports and expands the efforts of law enforcement community
engagement and partners with minority owned barbershop1salon owners, their customers and area youth.Albeit, law enforcement's primary
duty is to serve and protect,the department needs to be seen as a key critical partner in `building away crime'.
Focus is placed on neighborhood improvement, inclusion, employment opportunities and youth assistance.The willingness of citizens to
trust police officers depends on whether they believe their actions are trustworthy,transparent, reflect their values and incorporates the
principles of procedural justice. Participants become community ambassadors as they get involved in programs like'roll calls' at shop
locations, quarterly luncheons with the Chief and neighborhood projects, i.e. shop renovations,food distribution, Unity through Sports, etc.
Shop owners also mentor employees and assist area youth in workshops(3 high schools/year)focusing on youth-police interaction,
mentor and life readiness, and collegelworkforce development programs.
Net result is a community of minority owned business leaders who begin the process of`rebuilding their community from within'. This leads
to neighborhood stabilization, revitalization and sustainable economic development(jobs).
10.What measurable impact will your strategy have related to crime and safety?
Shop TalklUNA Comunidad effectiveness is measured through participating shops expansion.We currently have 3 Ft.Worth participating
shops. Projected expansion is a total of 30 shops/three year period.Year over year assessments are administered to shop owners as well
as ambassador recipients. Matrix tracks(quantitatively/qualitatively)attitudes towards law enforcement, racial issues, program
participation,opportunities for employment and community interactions. Data points include focus groups, increase/decrease in trust and
neighborhood improvement projects.
Strategic partner, Texas Christian University, customizes Distressed Economic Index(DCI)which examines economic indicators of zip
code served. Data over three years correlates breakdown and direction of crime, socio-economic variables, property values, commercial
certificates of occupancy, employment data, neighborhood/crime watch groups, registered voters, homeownership to rental ratio to rental
assistance ratio, median income, education levels, etc.
Shop Talk's strategic partner,The Hope Initiative, has designed a social and racial understanding format targeting nine high schools/3
years: North Side, OD Wyatt, Dunbar, Eastern Hills,Western, South Hills, Diamond Hill-Jarvis, Polytechnic and Trimble. Programs include
social&racial understanding/trust building, ACT diagnostic and workshops in life readiness, college&career assessment workshops,
guided career pathway, networking and resume writing.

enforcement interaction, college/workforce development, quality of life&safe, secure and thriving neighborhoods.
6. Describe the eligible crime/safety situation the target group faces. Support the description with relevant data from your
agency and the community that explains the extent of the problem and what causes it to persist.
The City of Ft.Worth is the 13th largest city in the U.S. and is the fifth largest Texas city. It is inhabited by nearly 1.0 million people and
policed by approximately 1694 police officers(2020)who are tasked with reducing crime, investigating property crimes and protecting
citizens. Unfortunately, in many communities(particularly communities of color), the general feeling is that the justice system and public
safety are not working together and are discriminatory which has led to uncertainty, anger, mistrust and a devastating increase in violent
crime.
Overall violent crime in Ft. Worth is on the rise and crime safety varies by district. Third quarter 2021 crime data report indicates a 3.6%
increase in overall offenses from July-September 2020 compared to July-September 2021 and shows a 6.2% increase in assaults. For the
same period, homicides were down; albeit, District 8 showed a higher number of homicides(7)than usual. Residential burglaries
decreased 4.6%while business burglaries increased 23%.
Nineteen percent of America's population live in Areas of Concentrated Poverty(ACP's)with nearly a third living below the poverty line
($26,500 for a family of 4, upwards to$44,660 for a family of 8). In Ft.Worth,the poverty rate is approximately 11.9%with communities of
color and disadvantaged populations being impacted the most. Data shows that high crime coupled with pre and post COVID restrictions
disproportionately affect ACP's by impacting public safety,viability of businesses, neighborhoods, area youth,and participation in
community building events. Once again, school safety has become a critical priority across America.Youth violence(threats with
weapons, bullying and gang-related aggression)has increased and is a leading cause of death and injuries of young people(ages 10-24).
The price of poverty is long-term lack of hope, mental health issues,food insecurities, anger, limited access to a good education, health
care, financial/upward stability and escalating crime. Social issues reinforced with anti-police pop culture has led to uncertainty, anger,
mistrust, negative race relations between law enforcement and communities of color, and a devastating increase in violent crime. It
negatively affects entire communities, public safety(perceived/real), health care, property value, disrupts social services, participation in
community building events and school attendance. The greatest threat to community revitalization is crime and the greatest generator of
crime is community disintegration.

7. Define the target group and how many will benefit from this project. Include defining characteristics, how the crime or
safety situation (described in the previous question)affects them, and how they relate to community efforts to impact CCPD
crime and safety goals.
Shop TalkJUNA Comunidad program partners with the Ft.Worth Police Department and works directly with minority business owners, their
customers and area youth living/working in Areas of Concentrated Poverty(ACP's).These community stakeholders face a myriad of
challenges ranging from acutely visible signs of escalating crime, substance abuse, high rates of homelessness, reoccurring incarceration
of mentally disordered offenders, the destruction of the family unit, lack of access to good health care and neighborhood economic decline.
Women and people of color are underrepresented in STEM fields(science,technology, engineering and mathematics)which is directly
linked to America's racial divide and wealth gap.The COVID pandemic significantly affected these communities as well as vulnerable
minority businesses who persistently face high levels of crime(as discussed above)around their establishments which affects their
financial viability.
Law enforcement plays a key role in reversing the disenfranchised human capital effects of living/working in under-resourced communities
that have been systematically unable to participate in upward mobility and prosperity.The willingness of citizens to trust police officers
depends on whether they believe that their actions are trustworthy, transparent, reflect their community values and incorporate the
principles of procedural justice. By supporting and expanding law enforcement's community engagement efforts as well as partnering with
minority barber and salon owners, their customers and area youth,the Shop TalkJUNA Comunidad team facilitates neighborhood inclusion
and helps build bridges of trust between all parties. Once trust has been established, open and honest conversations can lead to links
when solving crime. Law enforcement is now seen as a community partner in `building away crime'which is key critical to stabilizing and
revitalizing these neighborhoods.
Over a three-year period, Shop TalkJUNA Comunidad will expand to 30 Ft.Worth minority owned salon and barbershops located in areas of
concentrated poverty. Based on the program's performance (2016-2021 growth and expansion to 10 North Texas jurisdictions), Shop Talk-
Ft.Worth will serve approximately 1500 people/yearly at shop owner program meetings and an average of 1,000+ people/year who attend
Shop Talk community interactive initiatives. Over 95%of the participating shop owners, their customers, local citizens and area youth face
public safety issues, immigration concerns, distrust in law enforcement and lack a sense of belonging to their community.
Our strategic partner,The Hope Initiative,will serve 450 economically disadvantaged students across 9 FWISD high schools in a three-
year period. Over 80%of the students will be from communities of color that have public safety issues and lack trust in police officers.
8. Describe your project. Discuss how you will address the causes of the crime/safety situation faced by the target group.
Describe how the project will be measured and how it will impact the selected crime/safety goal. Explain how it is unique,
new, and/or similar to other efforts. Include relevant data and outside sources that prove that the project is likely to achieve
the desired results.
Shop TaIk1UNA Comunidad is an expanded version of a successful 2014 project initiated by the Irving(TX)Police Department and is
currently established in 10 North Texas jurisdictions. It is an evidence-based 21st Century Community Building and Neighborhood
Engagement program encouraging open/honest communication about the role of public safety, community trust, safe neighborhoods and
constructive dialogue leading to changes in attitudes, strengthened community-police relations and improved youth-police interactions.
Emphasis is given to 1)understanding that safe neighborhoods lead to`Cities of Opportunities', 2) navigating political climate on the local,
state and national level, 3)addressing devastating events such as the death of George Floyd and Atatiana Jefferson,4)integration of police
into fearful communities where biases exist,and 5)building trust between all parties required for advancing racial understanding, diversity
inclusion and racial injustice resolutions.
Over the next three years, Shop Talk and key Ft.Worth PD personnel will identify and enroll ten (10/yr)minority salons and barbershops
(30 total). Enrollment decisions regarding salons and barbershops are district-focused and identified with the help of FWPD. Shop Talk
works with FWPD's Community Engagement Dept(#Fo rtWorth Safe)and augments goals and objectives by hiring,when needed, off-duty
officers willing to support and assist in consistent monthly community engagement events and regular visits to participating/potential
shops.
Increasing the presence of police in non-enforcement community activities demonstrates and fosters a different perspective of police.
Police and citizens learn to appreciate the intertwined roles of 21st Century Policing with Citizen Input. Partnering with minority businesses
contributes to the stability and viability of the community.
New shop owners will be given an initial survey gauging their attitude towards police, concerns regarding social justice and racial
understanding. Each survey tracks the level of changes in attitudes, level of trust, civic leadership and community engagement support.
Assessments will be performed yearly and incorporated into a three-year longitudinal study performed by our strategic University partner
and presented at conclusion. Evaluation data will include Zip Code Geomapping and Distress Economic Index data, i.e., foreclosures,
certificates of occupancy, homelessness, crime data, etc.
The Hope Initiative will engage youth and officers in dialogue-to-change discussions focusing on social equity, social capital and
educational advancement.The goals consist of increasing access to college, career and life readiness, improving public safety and
empowering youth/law enforcement to build trust. Goals will be assessed using measurable and quantifiable metrics, pre and post surveys,
quantitative data analysis and antidotal evidence used to measure expected outcomes.
9. Discuss your anticipated results. Explain how the crime/safety situation will change in measurable ways for both the target
group and the community.
As police resources shrink, the collaborative problem-solving model that calls upon others to take up central roles in public safety is more
critical than ever.The mission-driven collaborative partnership of the Shop TalkJUNA Comunidad team, citizens and law enforcement
?WiMMes livability of communities, helps shape/envision a community's futurAnd brings
rierween cr w X OperaLlon S lue MUM(One Community 11 SA)
about broader, more productive societal changes. Law enforcement needs to fully understand the economic impact they have on the safety
and viability of area businesses and how that translates to upward mobility of families from under-resourced communities.
Salons and barbershops are central hubs of importance in the Black and Latino community. Shop owners are viewed as community
ambassadors and mentors for their neighborhood, especially in times of social unrest. Shops provide first-time job opportunities and career
occupations, second chance employment and are excellent examples for African American/Latino entrepreneurship. Their social impact
and role in community building provides a window into America's complex history as well as complicated immigration and racial dynamics.
Shop Talk focuses on moving the community-police relations' 'needle'towards increasing trust with officers, improving law enforcement's
ability to understand how the community views them(police)and influencing positive behaviors on public safety, education, health and
community advancement. Police need to be seen by the community as engaging, trustworthy individuals, i.e., humanizing the profession.
Frequent in-person meetings and discussions regarding current issues,transparency and accountability affecting the community help
resolve misunderstandings, 'tap' down hate and create a venue for handling disagreements in a constructive manner as opposed to protest
and riots. Relationships slowly develop along with mutual respect and understanding of the police resulting in improvement of police
services.
By including diverse and marginalized voices in the process, citizens are empowered to participate in decisions that impact their daily lives
and community. Pre participation surveys followed by yearly assessments, dialogue-to-change discussions with young adults, monthly
shop visits that inform and educate will lead to lower crime rates, reduced poverty and enhanced citizen-officer-youth interaction and
understanding as well as influencing positive behavior on education and community advancement. As a result, business owners,their
customers, area youth, citizens and officers experience an attitude transformation and work collectively to build community trust,
neighborhood safety and prevent youth crime.
"Meeting with the Chief regularly, sharing lunch at those meetings and having the chance to talk face-to-face about our community is
something that did not ever happen before Shop Talk."....Demetrius Ennett, 5StarCutz, Irving, TX(owner).
10. If applicable, describe how the project will address the CCPD Special Emphasis: Police/Community Relations defined as
"increasing existing or creating new collaborations between Fort Worth Police Department and minority/underserved
community members and stakeholders."
Shop TalkJUNA Comunidad's ethnically diverse team and partners are composed of individuals with over 116 years of public safety,
education and community involvement. They understand the power of partnership and thrive on cultivating meaningful and purposeful
relationships with minority business owners, community stakeholders,young adults,social justice experts and law enforcement. This
unique system of collaboration enables the participant's voice to be heard, builds community trust of the system, improves quality of life,
helps reduce crime, addresses health and education disparities, and promotes positive change in disadvantaged communities. By
addressing the issues of national concern regarding social understanding and injustice,the Shop Talk program is seen as a leader in
supporting stabilization, revitalization and economic improvement, workforce development, advancing communities, and improving
adult/youth and police interactions.
The program works to bridge law enforcement(police officers and command staff)with the business and academic community(high
schools)by developing a healthy partnership that involves neighborhood beauty salons and barbershops owners, their staff, customers and
area youth. Monthly shop visits allow officers, shop owners and community members an opportunity to engage in question and answer
sessions whereby recent issues in the community are identified, evaluated and collaborative solutions discussed.
Typical topics of discussion include body cameras used on officer uniforms, discipline for officers on excessive use of force incidents and
police agency transparency. Shop owners, community stakeholders and area youth truly value the time and effort displayed by the officers
and command staff.This type of interaction, honesty and transparency helps build/rebuild bridges of trust and brings a community together
to create pathways to prosperity. At a December 2021 Shop Talk meeting,this was expressed when Millennium Barber Shop's owner and
his customers asked, "When will you be back?We should be doing this every month and start trusting each other."
Community engagement events include quarterly luncheons or shop visits with Chiefs of Police, roll call inside salons and barbershops,
tours of police academy and 911 call centers, reality-based training (if available),financial and wellness programs, and self defense/rape
crisis courses. Participants help with food distributions, holiday events, shop assistance on small shop renovations, Unity through Sports
events and multiple recognitions honoring citizen ambassadors, etc. The program also invites shop owners to host community engagement
events like Pizza with a Cop and Coffee with a Cop. This integrated approach of time,talent and measurement creates a culture of
understanding and improves the quality of life for all communities.
11. Briefly describe your agency and why it is the best to lead this project. Include how long your agency has served the
community, its mission, partners, and the nature of your services.
Founded in 2015, Operation Blue Shield®dba One CommunityUSA®is dedicated to building safe, secure and thriving 'Cities of
Opportunities for All'through comprehensive cause-minded neighborhood engagement programs that unite, raise awareness, empower and
foster positive relationships between law enforcement and citizens (young and old), particularly communities of color. As America's
Community Partner, our evidence-based 21 st Century Community Building and Neighborhood Engagement programs focus on public
safety, education and workforce opportunities, heath care, second chance(reentry and diversion), income and asset building, advocacy
and civic engagement. Diversity, equity and inclusion are central to our mission.We know that having varied community perspectives are
key critical to solving the complex, multifaceted contemporary issues of an ever changing world.
One CommunityUSA®corporate office is located in Dallas, TX. The foundation has a volunteer-lead office in San Angelo, TX and shared
office/classroom space available at LVTRise Community Center.We have been requested by multiple law enforcement jurisdictions and

One CommunityUSAO has received numerous endorsements, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott, both branches of the Texas
Legislative branches, National Association of Police Officers(NAPO), National Crime Prevention Council, Dallas Police Department, Dallas
County Sheriffs Department, Dallas Police Association, National Black Police Association,Texas Municipal Police Officers Association,
Texas Association Chiefs of Police, Dallas Fire Department and the International Association Chiefs of Police. On 04 December 2019, US
Attorney General William Barr(Washington DC)presented the Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service in Policing to Irving
Police Department Officer John Plunkett. The award recognizes the significant impact that Shop Talk has on building bridges of trust
between law enforcement and the community, both today and into the future. The program has also been endorsed by the NAACP
Arlington/Irving branch and is proposed for endorsement by NAACP National.
Our'build away crime' programs build trust, unity and real-life conflict resolution to contemporary social issues that start the process of
neighborhood stabilization, revitalization and economic development. Strategic partner, The Hope Initiative, and One CommunityUSA's
neighborhood centric programs engage law enforcement, minority business owners, citizens and young adults in honest conversations and
initiatives where every voice matters. Empowering those living and working in areas of concentrated poverty to work together with law
enforcement helps end the cycle of violence, poverty, homelessness,joblessness, improves educational inequality and removes barriers to
college completion and career opportunities.
12. Describe how the project fits the mission of your agency.
One CommunityUSA's commitment is to create, promote and implement programs designed to bring about the type of positive,
constructive change that our local communities and our Nation so desperately needs. Lack of familiarity and understanding of cultural
differences often lead to fear, conflict and anger. By addressing the sociological and economical needs of those living in areas desperate
for change,we can build 'Cities of Opportunities for all'.
The common denominator is public safety.Without it, positive social change suffers and leads to anger, unrest and violence. To solve
America's contemporary social concerns,two sides must work together to resolve America's issues: law enforcement and community
stakeholders. Shop TalklUNA Comunidad's outreach effort is focused on minority salons and barbershops because they serve as meeting
places in communities of color.These business establishments are considered community centers and owners are oftentimes seen as
leaders in their community. Creating unity within a commUNITY is achievable when officers become engaged in a series of structured
neighborhood engagement events developed to breakdown barriers of misinformation and build better communication.
Supported by the Chief of Police who assigns officers skilled in community engagement, the goal is to have the Shop Talk team, police
officers and command staff visit shops frequently and participate in friendly exchange of questions, ideas and problem resolutions with the
owners,their customers and staff.The amount of time officers spend in the shops varies on the different jurisdictional call-loads.The
dynamics of constructive question and answer sessions changes the attitudes of all parties. This type of community inclusion program
encourages open and honest communication regarding the role of public safety. Examples of questions/answers typically include the
following: cameras worn on uniforms, discipline issued by supervisors, getting police reports, excessive use of force questions, release of
reports or information from police departments to the public and numerous other questions. During significant media events regarding
police incidents around the country that are broadcasted 24/7 and biased, questions related to events and the feelings of local officers are
brought into the conversations for everyone to discuss and share openly. The officers help build trusting relationships by spending time in
shops to teach people how to view police work in a different perspective as opposed to relying only on media perspectives which have the
value of Nelson ratings or total viewer numbers but don't show the whole picture.
Trust and transparency from both sides is a valuable commodity and needs to be heard as well as observed by citizens,young adults,
police officers, command staff and departments across the country. Success can be summed up when a customer or shop owner says,
'We need more conversations like this.'
13. Describe the geographic area you will serve(i.e. city-wide, council districts,zip code, neighborhood, census tracts, etc.)
and why it was selected.
Shop TalkJUNA Comunidad efforts are focused in Areas of Concentrated Property and align with the short-mid-long term strategies to
address violent crime and underlying conditions of FWPD's Violent Crime Reduction Plan. The program already has a working partnership
with the department who has three identified shops in District 5, District 6 and District 8.With the target of a 30-shop expansion in three
years, shop locations in specific districts will be strategically identified (ranked)by the department. This process helps facilitate growth,
direction and long term 'roll out'of identified shop locations. Expansion will included District 2, District 3, District 4, District 9, and District
7. Salon and barbershop locations are chosen based on location and diversity and with the assistance of FWPD.The program will not
eliminate an eager shop owner wanting to participate within any other area of Ft.Worth provided it meets Shop Talk standards and
approval of FWPD.
Strategic partner,The Hope Initiative,will focus on nine schools over three years: North Side(District 2), OD Wyatt(District 8), Dunbar
(District 5), Eastern Hills(District 4),Western Hills(District 3), South Hills (District 6), Diamond-Jarvis(District 2), Polytechnic(District 8),
and Trimble (District 9).
Our strategic partnering university will perform a longitudinal study(three-year)of distressed indicators for districts served by the Shop
TalkJUNA ComunidadlHope Initiative program. Data will correlate breakdown and direction of crime,socio-economic variables, property
values, commercial certificates of occupancy, employment stats, neighborhood/crime watch groups, registered voters, homeownership to
rental relation to rental assistance ration, etc.
14. Describe and list what other funds you have secured or requested on behalf of this project. If this is a new project, include
a description of how you plan to maintain these services beyond the CCPD grant period.

programs.The foundation has other comprehensive programs, e.g., Pathways to H.O.P.E. (Reentry and Diversion), Foundation of Trust, so
fundraising for Shop Talk-Ft. Worth will be program specific and supported by One CommunityUSA's comprehensive marketing efforts.
Grants are either donor directed or, if no program is specified, funds are allocated towards unrestricted fund account and distributed to a
program based on need. Fundraising efforts come from a variety of revenue sources: individual donors, corporations,faith based
institutions, campaigns like North Texas Giving Day, seasonal requests(year end giving),direct mail campaigns and state/government
grants.
Shop Talk-Ft.Worth is not a new project.The program was endorsed by Chief Neil Noakes late 2021 and currently has three participating
shops. Funding includes a$25,000 gift from an anonymous donor and$3,000 from local business owners. In 2021, holiday contributions of
food, clothing, essentials and furniture totaling$5,250 was received from Costco, Sam's, Walmart, Kroger, Town Talk Foods, Baylor Scott
&White, Starbucks,Vol Now Grocery, North Texas Rotary Club and Toys for Tots.
Previous funders to Shop Talk:
ToyotaUSA-$25,000 Shop Talk-Dallas
NBC5-$25,000 Shop Talk-Irving and COVID-19 distribution of food
6 individual donors-$62,000 Shop Talk-Dallas for DPD K-9's and Tarrant County Sheriff's Dept.
Donor-$2,000 Shop Talk-Irving for 2 barbershop chairs, capes/scissors
Ford Motor Foundation-$1,000 for Shop Talk-Irving
The American Black Cross-$800 for Shop Talk-Irving
Grant proposals for Shop Talk-Ft. Worth recently submitted to Facebook, American Airlines, AT&T, JWJ Management,Westcott
Foundation, Chilton Foundation, Moody Foundation, Hers Foundation, Kauffman Foundation and various Rotary Clubs. Upcoming
proposals are Sid Richardson Foundation (March 2022), Independent Financial (fall 2022), NBC5 Project Innovation (Spring 2022),
ToyotaUSA(fall 2022)and North Texas Community Foundation. Note: Shop Talk recently submitted a$1,000,000 proposal to
Communities Foundation of Texas for the program's expansion in Dallas County.
Shop Talk programing funds are supported by in Kind volunteers and volunteers.Volunteers include shop owners, law enforcement,first
responders,citizens and youth, educators, government/industry leaders,the faith-based community and other nonprofits like Lions Club
Sight and Tissue(low fee exams and glasses). Based on all in kind and volunteer hours tracked in current Shop Talk jurisdictions(Irving,
Arlington, Duncanville, Desoto, Carrollton, Ft.Worth [3 shops], The Colony and Euless, TX)and recently added jurisdictions(Richardson,
Mesquite and Dallas), we project an estimated monthly In-Kind officer and citizen volunteer hours for Shop Talk-Ft. Worth to be 50-100
hours/month.

SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of Contracts with AB Christian Learning Center, CASA of
Tarrant County, Operation Blue Shield (One Community USA), MHMR Visions, and
YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth from the Crime Control and Prevention District
Community Based Programs Fund in the Total Program Amount of$1,500,000.00 to
Operate Crime Prevention Programming that Benefits Fort Worth Residents
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of contracts with AB Christian
Learning Center, CASA of Tarrant County, Operation Blue Shield (One Community USA), MHMR
Visions, and YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth from the Crime Control and Prevention District
Community Based Programs fund in the total program amount of$1,500,000.00 to operate crime
prevention programming that benefits Fort Worth residents.
DISCUSSION:
Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) Community Based Programs provide funding to
agencies that are recommended by a selection panel and then approved by the CCPD Board of
Directors (Board). This panel consisted of staff and community representatives who evaluated the
proposals to ensure minimum qualifications were met and that the proposed projects met one or more
of the goals of the Board.
On May 24, 2022, the Board reviewed and approved the recommendation to fund five crime
prevention programs. The following programs total $1,500,000.00 and are funded from the Crime
Control and Prevention District Community Based Fund (25100). The five programs will have a
contract term of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 with no renewals.
Funding will be allocated as follows to each agency in Fiscal Year 2022 on a reimbursement basis:
AB Christian Learning Center ($300,000.00) — Implementing the Summer Reading Program where
participants will engage in a Summer Reading Program in Council Districts 5 and 8. Academic
performance, explicitly literacy, has shown to be correlated with juvenile crime. There is also a
correlation between parental involvement and children's social and academic confidence and skills. In
addition to summer reading program, youth will participate in educational sessions that will include
guest speakers, college tour field trips, and STEM activities. The parents of the participants will also
be engaged in weekly family sessions.
CASA of Tarrant County ($300,000.00) — Implementing the Aging-Out Prevention and Preparation
(APP) program which assists youth at risk of aging out of foster care in all Council Districts. The
transition period from aging out of foster care is a critical time as youth are more at risk for engaging in
juvenile and gang related crime as a result of lack of social supports. CASA youth will receive social
support through an appointed Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer and receive family
engagement services that will help guide them through this transition period;
Operation Blue Shield dba One Community USA ($300,000.00) — Implementing ShopTalk in Council
Districts 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9. Participants will consist of owners and customers of minority-owned African-
American and Hispanic barbershops with beauty salons in Areas of Concentrated Poverty (ACP). One
Community will implement Shop Talk and expand services into existing barbershops across the Fort
Worth metroplex to shape up the surrounding communities. The barbershops and salons will be

known as safe environments to discuss and resolve social issues to bridge the gap between the Fort
Worth Police Department and community members.
MHMR Visions ($300,000.00) — Implementing the Mental Health Law Liaison Project which targets
previously adjudicated and non-adjudicated individuals with mental illness or co-occurring psychiatric
and substance use disorders in all Council Districts. The Mental Health Law Liaison will divert these
individuals from the criminal justice system into recovery and treatment services. The Mental Health
Law Liaison Project will enhance neighborhood safety by reducing the number of mental health crisis
calls.
YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth ($300,000.00) — Implementing Y Achievers in Council District 5,
which targets minority and underserved high school students in grades 9 through 12. Programming
will reinforce positive attitudes toward education, community involvement, and overall community
relationships with law enforcement by offering academic activities, career development, and
community service opportunities.
Funding is budgeted in the CCPD Community-Based Programs Department's CCDP Community
Based Fund.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously
appropriated, in the CCPD Community Based Fund for the CCPD Community Based Prgm
FY22 project to support the approval of the above recommendation and execution of the contract.
Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Police Department has the responsibility to validate the
availability of funds.
