Funeral and prayer civil call-outs (phase 3)
Community Responder Outreach
A faith-based/community response initiated by the department when a preliminary investigation of a violent event indicates the strong probability of retaliation, a violent event that involves youth crews, gangs, or racial tension; an event so egregious that it affects the safety and security of the affected community, despite the fact that there is little or no likelihood of retaliation; or circumstances prior to and/or after civil unrest incident(s) (will not be activated until the scene is stable and deemed safe, which can be up to 48 hours after initial incident).

Proactive activation
Community Responder Activation
A follow-up event, within 72 hours, to a primary activation held on behalf of, and in, the affected community, conducted in collaboration with community and faith-based partners to promote peace in the aftermath of the violent event.
