information out on the programs recently funded by the Crime Prevention Board,
to include the following programs: F.A.S.T. Program, Non-Violent Felon
Employment Program, Out of School Program and the Mental Health Court Program.
(Request of Councilor Woodson)
RESPONSE
Per Seth Brown ? Mike King and I have already met and started discussing
options to inform the public of programs available. The CSU and CTC program
have not started yet so when they do start we will include them in the
information spots. All four programs have a system of including people within
their programs. Two of the programs work with the school system to target at
risk students and two of the programs deal directly with the prison system to
target those coming back into our community and those suffering from PTSD that
are currently involved within the judicial system.
