Violence Redu ction /Community Referrals
8-1-2022
On 7/1/22, the Sacramento Police Department ’s (SPD) Violent Crime Reduction Strategy (VCRS) was
officially launched . Part of this strategy embraces a collaborative partnership be tween field and
investigati ve personnel of SPD and designated Community -Based Organizations (CBO) . These CBOs are
coordinated through the new Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) , which is a part of the SPD Community
Advancement Division (formerly called Outreach and Engagement) . VCR S aims to reduce violent crime in
our community through a multi faceted approach . This includes using CBOs during preplan ned events,
critical inc idents, and referrals for assistance from SPD personnel .
SPD personnel with field and investigative assignments have the opportunity to help augment the
VCRS through their direct contact with community members. When contacting a person who matches the
conditions listed below, consider forwarding the person ’s information to the Community Advancement
Division so that a CBO can follow up with them . Alternatively, provide a card or share the QR code below
so that the person can reach out themselves. CBO referral s shall not be used in place of enfor cement
action.
1 - Officer Referrals (Focused Individ ual Intervention)
• Patrol officer referrals should focus on thos e involved in or with a history of violent crime, gun
violence , or gang a ffiliation .

Repor t. The referral ’s role will be “subject ”. Utilize and completely fill out the Outreach Referral
Template . (See the examp le on Page s 2).
• Community Advance ment officers work with Dr. Nicole Clavo (O VP) to assess t he needs and
provide referral s to the appropriate CBO .
