2 of 3 defendants acquitted of Rosamond woman\u2019s murder <\/a><\/p>\n\u201cWe think that we can apply some of the same principles of the same programs to domestic violence,\u201d said Clegg.<\/p>\n
This new grant, the largest given to Bakersfield from the state, strictly for violence prevention, is set to fund the city\u2019s targeted intervention. Finding high risk individuals of committing homicide, mapping their cases, and being hands-on with those people everyday.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the things that we\u2019ve learned overtime is that if you wait even a few days, or a week things have potentially already spun out of control,\u201d Clegg said.<\/p>\n
To be hands on, the city is hiring two or three crisis intervention workers using the grant money.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf there\u2019s a crime scene, and we\u2019ve been notified by family members that are there. The intent is to not be law enforcement, the intent is to go and support those family members,\u201d said Clegg.<\/p>\n
Clegg says this strategy won\u2019t take long to implement, but is the foundation for longstanding sustainability in preventing the killing of another in Kern County.<\/p>\n
