Executive Summary
The California Gang Reduction Intervention and Prevention program began in 2007 when Governor
Schwarzenegger created the Governor's Office of Youth Violence Policy (OGYVP). The CalGRIP
program was initiated to help communities support strategies to reduce gang and youth violence. The
program was first administered by the OGYVP and later transferred to the California Emergency
Management Agency (CalEMA), which is now the California Office of Emergency Services. At its
onset CalGRIP provided anti-gang funding to many state departments including: job training,
education and intervention programs through the CalEMA, and the Employment Development
Department; the Corrections Standards Authority (now the Board of State and Community Corrections
(BSCC)) to spend $1.1 million on anti-gang programs; and $7 million for the California Highway Patrol
to help local jurisdictions combat gang violence.
In July 2012, as a result of AB 1464 (Chapter 21, Statutes of 2012), the BSCC acquired sole
administrative responsibility for the program. The administrative responsibility of the $9.2 million
annual grant program came to BSCC along with an increased level of accountability. Under the BSCC
the CalGRIP allocation is based upon an applicant’s ability to demonstrate that funding is used to
implement proven evidence-based prevention, intervention and suppression programs.
With the signing of Assembly Bill 109 (Chapter 15, Statutes of 2011), the Legislature and the
Governor enacted Public Safety Realignment with an understanding that California must reinvest in its
criminal justice resources to support community-based corrections programs that focus on evidence-
based practices that will improve public safety. In conjunction with AB 109, the Governor signed
Senate Bill 92 (Chapter 26, Statutes of 2011), which established the BSCC, effective July 1, 2012, to
provide statewide leadership, coordination, and technical assistance to effectively manage California’s
adult and juvenile criminal justice populations. As part of the creation of the BSCC, several grant
programs, including the CalGRIP, were consolidated, and administrative responsibility was transferred
from other agencies to the BSCC. This responsibility also requires the BSCC to submit a report and
evaluation of the CalGRIP program to the fiscal committees of the Legislature not later than
April 1, 2014.
The use of evidence-based strategies represents a significant shift throughout the criminal justice field
that places an emphasis on achieving measurable outcomes while ensuring that the services that are
provided and the resources that are used are effective. As a condition of funding recipients are now
required to evaluate programs and report on outcomes. The new funding strategy, with its focus on
proven programs, aligns this program with BSCC’s mandate for implementing certain provisions of AB
526 (Chapter 850, Statutes of 2012 (Dickinson)). AB 526 requires the BSCC to:
Move toward consolidating the grant application processes for delinquency, intervention and
prevention funds for grant programs with similar program purpose,
Incentivize comprehensive regional partnerships, and
By January 1, 2014, develop funding allocation policies that ensure that within three years no
less than 70 percent of funding for “gang and youth violence suppression, intervention, and
prevention programs and strategies is used in programs that utilize promising and proven
evidence-based principles and practices.”
Page 2
CalGRIP Report - April 2014
In early 2013, the BSCC established a Gang Issues Standing Committee (Committee) and tasked the
Committee with, among other things, providing policy recommendations to address the BSCC’s
requirements under AB 526. In November 2013 the 13-member BSCC Board (Board) adopted the
Committee-recommended funding allocation policies that directed BSCC staff to clearly define what is
meant by evidence-based programs, practices and strategies, and to identify the grant funding
streams that will be included when determining the 70 percent threshold. The Board’s approval of
Committee-recommended policy also set the course for the BSCC to explore incentives that
encourage regional collaborative partnerships. Regional collaborations were a significant component
of previous CalGRIP awards and the BSCC will continue to emphasize these partnerships moving
forward.
BSCC field representatives are in the process of becoming certified by the University of Cincinnati to
assess evidence-based strategies. Ultimately, trained BSCC staff will be able to help locals direct
funding to programs and practices that will best reduce gang activity while ensuring that state funds
are used effectively.
According to a July 2013 BSCC survey of stakeholders, gang issues continue to be a public safety
priority across California. Consequently, demand for CalGRIP funding remains strong. In the most
recent grant cycle, 49 cities submitted proposals in request for nearly $20 million to implement anti-
gang programs. On January 1, 2014 the BSCC began to distribute the current round of funding to the
20 cities whose proposals were deemed most likely to produce positive results. Pursuant to Budget
Bill Item 5227-101-0214 (SB 92, Chapter 36, Statutes of 2011), the CalGRIP Program appropriates
$9.2 million each year from the State Restitution fund with the following six provisions:
1. (a) $1 million grant annually to the City of Los Angeles;(b) $8.2 million competitive grants to all
other cities
2. All grantees must provide a dollar for dollar match
3. The BSCC must submit a report and evaluation to the Legislature no later than April 2014
4. The grants shall be competitive to cities; no grant shall exceed $500,000; at least two grants
shall be awarded to cities with populations of less than 200,000; preference shall be given to
regional approaches
5. Grants require collaboration with local Juvenile Justice Coordinating Councils, and each grantee
must establish an Advisory Council with specified representation to help prioritize the use of the
funds
6. A minimum of 20 percent of the funds received by grantees shall be distributed to community-
based organizations.
Currently there are two active cycles of CalGRIP funding, each a two-year cycle, ending on December
31, 2014 and December 31, 2015 respectively. The BSCC is administering a total of $18.5 million in
grant funds to 34 cities. Each city is required to provide a local match, which means as of January 1,
2014 more than $37 million in CalGRIP-initiated anti-gang programs are underway in California. The
clerical burden of administering funding, both on the BSCC and applicants, is formidable. In March
2014 the BSCC Board approved changing CalGRIP to a 3-year grant cycle in order to ease the
administrative burden, provide for greater project sustainability and, more importantly, because longer
grant cycles are the cornerstone of effective evidence-based program implementation. It becomes
effective for grant awards that run from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017.

Introduction
This report will illustrate the many ways in which grantees are partnering with other city and county
agencies, law enforcement, schools, local business, and community-based organizations to make their
neighborhoods and residents safer. Despite a lack of long-term data there is anecdotal evidence to
support that CalGRIP funding is helping locals fight this top priority for law enforcement. The Chief of
Police for the City of Fresno credits CalGRIP funds, in large part, for a 12 percent reduction in the city’s
crime rate.
The war on gangs must be fought on multiple fronts by balancing strong enforcement,
prosecution, and intervention efforts. The CalGRIP grant has given our department the
opportunity to intervene in the lives of gang members by providing them with much
needed services to include tattoo removal. The continuance of CalGRIP is vital to our
overall efforts toward eradicating gangs from our neighborhoods.
Police Chief Jerry Dyer, Fresno Police Department.
Evidence-based programs, practices and strategies (EBP) place emphasis on achieving measurable
outcomes and making sure that the services provided and the resources used are effective. CalGRIP
has historically recommended use of EBPs in the implementation of projects. Since gaining oversight of
the program the BSCC makes the use of EBPs a requirement of funding.

CalGRIP Report - April 2014
Along with funds allocation responsibilities, the BSCC is required to submit this report and evaluation
of the CalGRIP Program to the Legislature by April 1, 2014. Due to the limited time that the BSCC
has had CalGRIP oversight, it is difficult to make definitive conclusions as to the effectiveness of
individual programs on the prevention and suppression of gang participation, violence and criminal
activity.
It is important to note that the CalGRIP competitive process allows each applicant city to develop
services and programs that meet its unique local needs. To that end, every applicant is required to
establish a CalGRIP Advisory Council, consisting of city and county officials, local law enforcement,
educational agencies and community-based organizations, to assess local need and prioritize the
use of funds.
Programs designed to successfully prevent young people from embracing the gang lifestyle received
the largest portion of funding. Essentially, the cities that were successful in receiving funding were
those with the most comprehensive plans for attacking local gang problems – not necessarily those
with the most obvious gang-related crime issues.
This report provides a snapshot of the approach employed by each of the 34 cities based on its own
dynamic need. Each snapshot touches on the following headings and is based on information and
data as provided by the grantees.
