Calling the contract a contract would be "belittling this NNSC focused deterrence model," RIvera says.

Erjansk Space Series - NNSC

Part of an art series for my indie show Erjansk, featuring this universe's version of the solar system

7th of the 10 planets, NNSC's name was decided immediately after reaching its atmosphere. Planet's surface is made of ectoplasm.

I think a sub-$500k contract is not much if it were needed — and I’m also not concerned with no-bid because there is no equivalent to NNSC in this space — but I agree that our level of gun violence is low on a per capita basis, and it sounds like Wilson is taking a sensible approach.

That’s a good article, esp. the quotes from Barden. NNSC would in fact do direct work on the police component that the JHU or UW services would not - but as she says that component has already been established so, it appears, there is less need for that than for city agencies being well coordinated.

My sense is that the work done by the UW might be at least partly duplicative with the work that CM Rivera wants to do with the NNSC, but I am not clear on this.

starting from basics: if you go to the NNSC website (nnscommunities.org) you are greeted with a banner/link offering more information about focused deterrence:
September 29, 2026 at 8:33 PM
we're getting nowhere with the NNSC. i pulled up several other pages/articles. let's start with RAND ( no one can accuse me of staying in my liberal bubble!)
September 29, 2026 at 8:33 PM
also, under "Who from your jurisdiction will be involved?", NNSC-JJC uses this stool graphic, which i'm like 95% sure has appeared in an SPD presentation before (under barnes). which makes me think we already have focused deterrence at home, maritza

"...the way that it was meant to be implemented, such as their effort, um, then it can actually lead to more harm than good."

okay rivera's weird obsession with focused deterrence and the NNSC has piqued my interest so i'm actually going to dive in on this
September 29, 2026 at 8:33 PM
RAND starts with an overview... which fucking quotes the NNSC! and yes, i checked the link, and yes, OF FUCKING COURSE it's dead
September 29, 2026 at 8:33 PM
every one of those accordion items does open up, but the descriptions involved are so blindingly obvious that... well, here's an example. tell me how this is different from "do detective work":

“Other cities have divested“ from NNSC you say, meaning that Baltimore is not contracting with them in 2026 even though they did in 2014 and in the 1990’s. So any city that *was* a client of NNSC in the past but not now has thusly “divested” from them?

比喻、借代、誇張、反問、比擬……
DSE老是要考那廿多種修辭手法。
大家可有想過,修辭學到底是甚麼?
它是否眞的死讀死操的枯燥東西?
其實考試範圍外,還有不少課本沒敎的修辭法,
當中有些遠比考試操練有趣得多。
今晚10點,于科長從課本不敎的「析字」入手,
橫向對照其他相似的修辭法,
看看古代人和現代人怎麼把字的形音義玩透!

There are a number of consultants we could hire, and NNSC is just one of them. I don’t have a strong preference for or against NNSC or another consultant. I also think we can work with multiple consultants, as apparently happened recently in Baltimore when they were able to make great progress.
September 17, 2026 at 1:02 AM
The resolution itself is non-binding, but I think we can work with NNSC in some capacity. And, as I said from the dais, if working with a consultant helps bring together Council and the Mayor’s office, then that alone will be money well spent.
September 17, 2026 at 1:04 AM
I agree there is politicized grandstanding going on here, and idk why Rivera is trying to force this down the mayor‘s throat, but spending $500k on NNSC is likely a much better investment than increasing police staffing with he same amount of funds, which is what others are demanding.

Many of the fundamental tactics and frameworks used by UPenn and everyone else were developed by Kennedy at NNSC. Braga (now at UPenn) and Kennedy have worked and published together.

I do know something about them, and they're not that type of consultant. NNSC Director David Kennedy pioneered what is now referred to as Gun Violence Intervention (GVI) with Operation Ceasefire in Boston in the 90's, later replicated in other cities. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...
