What is E.A.V.I. ?
EAVI - Expanded Anti-Violence Initiative
The Expanded Anti-Violence Initiative (EAVI) was created as an effective means for addressing the drug and gang violence problems that plague our communities. The expected outcome is to prevent crime. In July of 2009, The EAVI program was initially launched in Englewood (007th district), as a pilot program. The overall outcome resulted in a 28% drop in public violence. The 004th, 009th and 011th districts were launched In November 2009 in efforts to activate the EAVI program to full capacity.
".......It's like C.A.P.S. on Steroids." Christopher D. Fletcher, Commander - 3rd District
