Place Based Investigations of Violent Offender Territories (PIVOT)
About PIVOT
PIVOT is a strategy developed to address small areas where violence has been chronic and sustained. This strategy focuses on identifying place networks that facilitate violence. The goal is to disrupt offenders’ ability to harm individuals and the surrounding community, using a problem-oriented approach that capitalizes both on focused deterrence and place network interventions. Sustainable solutions are considered paramount.
The PIVOT strategy was developed in the fall of 2015, and launched in the spring, 2016. The current operational plan includes a centralized Cincinnati Police Department PIVOT team collaborating with representatives from many City departments, community groups, regional government and non-profit entities. This PIVOT team focused on two project sites during 2016, and has launched additional projects in 2017.
