Our Action On Crime

Lets talk about action. It’s a new year and lets get down with the new City Council. They got right down to business right away on the budget. They passed a budget and set the stage for a consensus to develop on how we define public safety.

We would go about achieving it when City Council Law & Public Safety Committee reviewed the shooting incident that occurred on Christmas Eve, in depth. This is after the CCA does it’s jon and we have a ruling from Dr. O. Who shot who?

Remember public saftey is the issue we pay over 120M a year for, we can ask questions - we own the city. Before anyone has a problem with what we say you should know one of us wrote the OPTA training manual and started for a College in Ohio their Criminal Justice course.
This incident in Roselawn which resulted in the death of one 19 year old Chanel Jordan, who was coming to pick her brother up, fact or fiction. Lets put it in the Blog on uptown security - here.

Cincinnati Change and partners will create dances for teens starting in April at our 20,000 sq. ft. building.

Cincinnati Councilman Cecil Thomas, chair of the Committee, has said it was a productive meeting, but now a holistic approach is needed to attack the problem, with council, police and parents working together. A number of community members spoke about the violence in the community and the need to take action against the problem. Cincinnati Change has declared 2006 as the year of Peace In the Hood along with Jobs in the Hood.

What that means is that we are bringing 100 Cincinnati Change Agents together to do teen dances by April. At these dances we will address the racial division in the city. Join us in this. We need all the help we can get. Goto to web site and give us the word on what you want to change in Cincinnati.

In 2005 racial division has not been reduced under previous leadership, but we have hope for 2006. We still had to much disconnect between the African American and poor in Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Police Department even with the Department of Justice Memorandum of Understanding (DOJ) and the Collaborative Agreement (CA). The Big story is the change in leadership of the FOP and the coming together of the African American community around the issue race and crime.

The image of police officers and the city as a whole is still recovering from race riots that erupted in April 2001, following the shooting death of an unarmed black man who ran from a white police officer trying and subsequent police slow down. The perception that emerged has been said to have embarrassed Specialist Kathy Harrell, the first woman elected president of Queen City Lodge No. 69 of the Fraternal Order of Police.

“The whole city got a black eye from it,” she said in an interview. “But did we grow from it? Yes. Have we proven we’re still an excellent city? Yes. Are there concerns that have to be dealt with? Definitely.” We hope to work with her and other interested parties who believe that we can have Peace in the Hood along with Jobs in the Hood.

We will create those jobs based on the construction of new buildings and the rehab of other buildings we own.

Cincinnati Change was incorporated Juneteenth 2005, June 19th 2005, as a not for profit organization. Development efforts, that succeeded and failed in 2005, set the state for the mission of Cincinnati Change. We will serve as an innovative, proactive partner in supporting comprehensive economic development, workforce needs creation along it’s development, quality housing development that is lead free and environmentally safe, supportive of historic conservation efforts where they make sense, land use management based on creating a land trust for the city.

Cincinnati Change will become supportive of creating in Cincinnati a worldwide arts and cultural amenities infrastructure that is a tourism destination managed by an African American owned and managed company. It would also support the creation of a comprehensive human and social services infrastructure for all Cincinnati’s citizens through established programs along with the creation of a new unified command and control agency for the residents of the city to be called The Nati Action Agency.

In 2005 Cincinnati Change bought interest in it’s headquarters at 2439 Auburn Avenue in preparation for starting operations in February 2006. Cincinnati Change believes that the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored by each other and those who we elect.
