Here's how the department spokesman described Group Violent Intervention They say Group because they're not allowed by Fischer to say Gang.: "We review each incident involving fatal and non-fatal shooting from the prior week and from those we identify the individuals who have a high probability of retaliation and we right there go talk to them"

In other words, they try to figure out which gang a victim belonged to, then go talk to the gang's shot-caller like they're Robert Duval in the movie "Colors". I hope they have more success than his character did at the end of that movie. They pretend this is a new idea. It was tried in the 1980s in Los Angeles, which is why it was put into the movie in the first place.

If you want crime to go down, then tell your Majors they'll all be Lieutenants soon if they don't turn their divisions around and give them the freedom to do what they think can be done. Move all the detectives to divisions except for the handful working directly for the feds. Make 1 Major totally accountable for everything in every division. Demote all the do-nothing Majors.
