Alameda County Violence Prevention

Strategic Planning

The Council is working with County Supervisor Nate Miley's effort to implement the countywide blueprint for violence prevention. The Council CEO is serving as a member of the Leadership Group, which is working with other stakeholders to implement the comprehensive, countywide blueprint and infrastructure for addressing all forms of violence within the county. The Blueprint was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in July of 2005  

Data Work Group

The Council is a member of the Data and Evaluation work Group, convened by Alameda County Public Health Department, to work on data collection and research related to violence and violence prevention and Blueprint Implementation. The Work Group aims to establish a coordinated data collection and analysis process, as well as a central repository for violence prevention data and analysis. We hope to extend the purview of the group to include cataloguing effective violence prevention and reduction strategies in use locally or elsewhere around the country, and making this information available to stakeholders to inform planning, funding, and policy decisions.

Homicide Fact Sheet

The Council recently completed the first in a series of fact sheets for the Alameda County Violence Prevention Initiative. This first dact sheet provides data, maps and information on homicides across Alameda County for the past few years and is available here.
