Prevention Begins at Home will provide training for Russian-Speaking/Slavic
families in the East Portland area with the aim to:
1) raise the
understanding, knowledge, and trust between this community and East Portland
law enforcement and the judicial system;
2) train and motivate the
community to engage in crime prevention and law enforcement awareness
activities;
3) expand the scope of
involvement of the community to prevent crime and improve livability.
The training will consist of six workshops. Participants
will have an opportunity to meet and learn from speakers from District Attorney
Office, Office of Equity of City of Portland, Police Review Office, Crime
Prevention Bureau of East Portland, Child Welfare, Northwest Family Services and
Russian Oregon Social Service. Workshops will be held in an interactive way.
Graduates will be awarded a Certificate of

opportunity to work with Russian Speaking Network to build educated and
powerful Russian-Speaking community.
The project will start in November of
2012.
