THE ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS WILL SERVE AS THE FISCAL AGENT FOR THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS OFFICE FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA VIOLENT CRIME IS ON THE RISE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA. HOWEVER, THE CITY OF MONTGOMERY HAS THE LARGEST POPULATION IN THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA AND REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE CASELOAD HANDLED BY THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. SHOOTINGS IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY HAVE BECOME NEARLY A DAILY OCCURRENCE. ALTHOUGH A GREAT DEAL OF FOCUS IS DEDICATED ON THE MONTGOMERY AREA, THE REALITY IS THAT VIOLENT CRIME IS ITINERATE AND OCCURS ACROSS MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS. THE CITY OF MONTGOMERY HAS NUMEROUS MAJOR ROADWAYS CONNECTING IT TO OTHER COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES. UNFORTUNATELY, VIOLENT CRIME RATES IN ADJACENT COUNTIES - SUCH AS MACON, LOWNDES, BULLOCK, AND RUSSELL - ARE WELL OVER THE NATIONAL AVERAGE AND NEED ATTENTION. GANGS, DRUG/GUN TRAFFICKING, AND ILLEGAL FIREARM POSSESSIONS REMAIN THE MAJOR DRIVING FORCES BEHIND VIOLENT CRIME. OUR OFFICE HAS CONDUCTED NUMEROUS REGIONAL MEETINGS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS AND LEARNED THAT JURISDICTIONS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT ARE IMPACTED BY CRIME BASED OUT OF SURROUNDINGMETROPOLITAN AREAS, INCLUDING THOSE IN ADJOINING STATES. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR OFFICE HAS A SEEN ACONTINUED INCREASE IN CRIMES AND CASES FROM MACON AND LEE COUNTIES, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE A MAJORINTERSTATE HIGHWAY RUNNING THROUGH THEM THAT CONNECTS MONTGOMERY AND ATLANTA. IN ADDITION, OTHERMETROPOLITAN AREAS LOCATED IN RUSSELL AND HOUSTON COUNTIES HAVE SEEN AN INFLUX OF VIOLENT CRIMEFROM GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. THEREFORE, CONNECTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OCCURRING IN DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS IS ESSENTIAL IN COMBATTING VIOLENT CRIME. FY2024 FUNDS WILL SUPPORT PSN PARTNERS CONTINUED EFFORTS TO REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF VIOLENT GANG-RELATED INCIDENTS THROUGH BOTH REACTIVE AND PROACTIVE EFFORTS IN COLLABORATION WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND INFORMED BY DATA AND REAL TIME INTELLIGENCE.

ADDITIONALLY, THE MDAL WILL WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS AND ENCOURAGE THE EFFECTIVE USE OF CRIME GUN INTELLIGENCE FROM SYSTEMS SUCH AS THE NATIONAL INTEGRATED BALLISTIC INFORMATION NETWORK (NIBIN) TO RAPIDLY IDENTIFY AND INVESTIGATE SERIAL OFFENDERS PLAGUING OUR COMMUNITIES. 		10/1/2024 9/30/2027 Prime $85,714.00

THE EDCA FACES UNIQUE CHALLENGES WITH RESPECT TO TRANSNATIONAL DRUG TRAFFICKING ORGANIZATIONS (DTOS), GANGS AND VIOLENT CRIME, GIVEN THE DISTRICT'S PROXIMITY TO THE MEXICO BORDER AND THE FACT THAT THE DISTRICT HAS THREE (3) MAJOR TRANSSHIPMENT CORRIDORS (CALIFORNIA STATE ROUTE 99, INTERSTATE 5 AND 80).

OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORT WITH BE DRIVEN BY NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERS WHO WILL WORK WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY THE REASONS FOR CERTAIN AREAS TO HAVE A HIGHER CRIME RATE THAN OTHERS, TO PROVIDE INTERVENTION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO IDENTIFY POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE INFLUENCERS. AS A RESULT, THIS WILL FOSTER BETTER POLICE/COMMUNITY RELATIONS TO HELP REDUCE VIOLENT AND GANG RELATED CRIME IN OUR THREE TARGET AREAS THAT ARE WITHIN THE CITY OF DOVER; DOWNTOWN, SIMON CIRCLE AND MANCHESTER. RESEARCH PARTNER DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY DSU) PROVIDES REAL TIME CRIME ANALYSIS SO WE CAN KNOW WHERE AND WHEN CRIME HOT SPOTS OCCUR AND HOW THEY CORRELATE WITH SOCIAL INDICATORS. HOWEVER, BUDGETARY RESTRICTIONS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO TARGET POLICE EFFORTS ON HOT SPOTS ON AN ONGOING BASIS. ALTHOUGH ANALYSES WILL ALLOW A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF DOVER HOT SPOTS, THE QUESTION OF WHY CRIME IS CLUSTERING IN A FEW SPECIFIC AREAS REMAINS ELUSIVE. BY INCREASING POLICE EFFORTS THROUGH PSN FUNDING AND TARGETING THOSE EFFORTS AT THE DRIVERS OF CRIME THROUGH RISK TERRAIN MODELING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DSU RESEARCH TEAM, WE HOPE TO DEMONSTRATE A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN OVERALL VIOLENT CRIME AND SPECIFICALLY FIREARMS VIOLENCE. THE GOAL OF PSN IS TO REDUCE GUN CRIME AND GANG VIOLENCE OUTCOMES. PSN'S SUCCESS WILL BE MEASURED BY A 10% REDUCTION IN VIOLENT/GUN CRIME AND GANG VIOLENCE. WHILE FOCUSING AT LEAST 30% OF FUNDING/INTERACTION ON GANG RELATED ACTIVITIES AND VIOLENCE INTERVENTION. 		10/1/2024 9/30/2027 Prime $90,193.00
