Police Athletics for Community Engagement
2022 Community Services Program—Program Narrative
Organization history, mission, and goals; In 2005, Antonio Espejo of the Omaha Police
Department(OPD) recognized through his gang suppression duties that the"zero tolerance"
policies of the time many police agencies were operating under were not working in his
community. Espejo teamed-up with members of the NE Latino Peace Officer Association to
create a pro-active "Identity Project" focusing on youth crime prevention, and intervention.
Using a soccer league as his vehicle, he identified diverse youth ages 8 to 18 who were at-risk to
offend or be recruited by gang members. Using the universal language of sports to create a
positive outcome by building a much-needed bridge between police that patrol disadvantaged
neighborhoods and the youth that live in these areas. In 2005, his program began with 60 youth
playing soccer. Espejo created Police Athletics for Community Engagement (PACE)to build the
collaboration bridge and to teach PACE's core values based on the acronym RESPECT. In
February of 2014, PACE filed for 501(C)3 status, which was approved by Federal tax authorities
in April of 2015. Guided by our values,the PACE mission is to: Provide free athletic
opportunities to underserved and economically disadvantaged youth, Encourage discipline, self-
esteem, and positive moral values within youth participants through healthy competition, Build
Positive relationships between police officers, youth participants,their families, in the Omaha
community,Reduce crime and decrease juvenile delinquency by keeping at-risk youth off the
streets and involved in constructive activities, and Bring together youth of different groups and
cultures to facilitate cross cultural understanding and respect.
Current activities, recent accomplishments, and future plans; PACE provides free sports and
educational programming to at-risk and disadvantaged youth in the Omaha Metro Area. The
OPD and other local law enforcement agencies participate by mentoring and coaching youth
participants recruited by PACE staff from area schools,parent referrals,juvenile probation
checks, and neighborhood events. PACE free athletic and education programs provide
community-based gang prevention, intervention, and suppression through this key partnership
with the OPD, the City of Omaha, the Omaha Fire Department, Sarpy County Sheriff's Office,
Nebraska State Patrol, La Vista Police Department, Papillion Police Department, Pottawattamie
County Sheriff's Office, and other local first responder agencies. The combined mission of these
organizations is to build positive community bridges and relationships between police officers,
juvenile probation officers,juvenile offenders, at-risk youth, and the community, as well as to
eliminate youth gang membership, reduce recidivism, prevent crime, and revitalize
neighborhoods.
During 2019, 2020, and 2021 PACE offered free athletic programming in soccer,baseball, flag
football, cheer, and free educational camp programming that paired at-risk youth with law
enforcement lessons and officers as mentors. In the fall of 2021 PACE will expand our soccer
program and begin offering underserved athletes with the opportunity to participate in a
competitive soccer experience through highly qualified coaching and training. The youth in our
programming do not have the financial where-with-all to seek "pay to play" programs or
professional training. This new program will provide our under-served youth with the training
and skills needed to compete and excel at soccer and will instill values that will prepare these
youth for success outside of sports.

2022 Community Services Program
Program Narrative
Role of organization's board of directors, including how your board carries out its
responsibilities for financial and programmatic oversight and fundraising; Police Athletics
for Community Engagement (PACE) currently has 12 members on its volunteer Board of
Directors. The board operates multiple committees including the Finance, Audit& Compliance
Committee,the Development Committee, the Programming Committee, and the Executive
Committee. The Board is Chaired by Mr. Lance Jones, CFP, and AIF with Parkland Securities.
In 2021 PACE welcomed two new members to its Board, Mr. Gabe Compton from Takeda
Pharmaceuticals, and Mr. Jeff Fuqua from Hawkins Construction. The entire Board of Directors
meets bi-monthly, and each committee meets bi-monthly on the opposing months. Each
committee reports to the Board of Directors. The Executive Director reports directly to the Board
of Directors. The board provides oversight for all PACE programming, operations, and
activities. The Development Committee along with the Director of Programming takes the lead
on all fundraising activities. PACE actively pursues funding from private non-profit
organizations as well as grant funding from county, city, and state sources. The Finance
Committee meets to continually review PACE's current financial status,pending funding sources
and to work on future funding opportunities.
Organizational efforts toward Cultural Responsivity: Police Athletics for Community
Engagement(PACE)provides programming for youth ages 5-18. We serve a remarkably diverse
population. From 2017 to 2019, program participants were 58%Hispanic or Latinx, 14%
Black/African American, 13% White, 9%Asian, 4%Two or More Races, 1%American
Indian/Alaskan Native, and 1%Native Hawaiian. During 2017 to 2019, 78% of our participants
were male, 19%were female, and 3%were unspecified. In 2019, 10% of participants were age
5-7, 19% were age 8-9, 18%were age 10-11, 18% were age 12-13, 17%were age 14-15, and
19%were age 16-18. Most of our participants attend school in the Omaha Public Schools
District. Our participants come from 38 zip codes in the metro area.
Youth being served by PACE programming typically come from schools and areas that are more
economically disadvantaged, compared to local averages. The schools most-often attended by
PACE youth have higher rates of eligibility for free and reduced-price lunch than the Nebraska
average (46%) and the Douglas/Sarpy counties (43%). Further, the zip codes most often
represented, on average, have a lower median income, lower educational attainment, and higher
levels of poverty than Omaha and Douglas County. Although youth from all neighboring areas
are welcome, PACE began by intentionally focused recruitment in areas of the city with higher
crime density. PACE concentrated around four general police areas (patrol areas 30, 40, 50, and
60)which approximately represent North Omaha, Midtown/Central Omaha, and South Omaha.
Population served involvement in the work of your organization; PACE staff and contractors
are as diverse as the community we serve. And the majority have lived and worked in this
community their entire lives. The community we serve are grateful for our services and
regularly volunteer to assist with our programming. Many community members volunteer on
our field clean-up days, volunteer in our snack shack and at events through out the year. We also
have community partners such as Families and Action, and Completely Kids that assist with our
programming and send volunteers to help at our camps and events.

provides materials in both English and Spanish. We do occasionally hire translators to provide
translation services for the Sudanese and Karen Communities.
Representatives from the community on boards or advisory groups; PACE regularly meets
with community members and leaders to solicit feedback and input regarding our programming
and the impact it is having on our community. Our Staff participate in multiple community
groups such as the South Omaha Violence Intervention and Prevention, Empowerment Networks
—Omaha 360, and Step-Up. Our Board of Directors are all local representatives from our
community.
Modified interventions to the cultural groups served? PACE works closely with local law
enforcement agencies,the Boys and Girls Club Gang Specialists, and local community leaders to
offer programming and services to all cultural groups in the Omaha Metro Area. We specifically
target immigrant populations, as we know they are the most vulnerable populations, and their
youth are the most heavily recruited by local gang members. Our law enforcement liaison
officers and law enforcement volunteers are specifically trained in cultural diversity and are
uniquely qualified to interact with these groups.

Program Narrative
Specific, measurable outcomes expected as a result of program activities? Police Athletics
for Community Engagement's (PACE) overall goal is to reduce crime and improve community
relations. PACE measures crime and graffiti data from four general police areas (patrol areas 30,
40, 50, and 60)which approximately represent North Omaha, Midtown/Central Omaha, and
South Omaha. Since the program's inception, these focus areas have seen reductions in certain
violent crimes (e.g., robbery, burglary) from 2017-2019. Gang graffiti has historically been used
to measure gang activity. According to the Omaha Police Department and the City of Omaha's
Graffiti abatement team, gang graffiti counts have dropped over 90% in the years since PACE's
inception. PACE will continue to review and analyze this data and expects to see continued
improvement in these areas.
Results that demonstrate program impact. During 2017-2019, the same timeframe that PACE
experienced dramatic growth, Patrol area 30 (Miller Park Area) saw a 16% decrease in Robbery,
a 26%decrease in Burglary, and a 12% decrease in Theft from Motor Vehicles. Patrol Area 40
(North Omaha) saw a 21% decrease in Burglary from 2018 to 2019. From 2017-2019, Patrol
Area 50(Downtown Omaha) saw a 29% decrease in Robbery, a 13% decrease in Burglary, a
29% decrease in Auto Theft, and a 15% decrease in Theft from Motor Vehicles. From 2017-
2019, Patrol Area 60(South Omaha) had a 39% decrease in Robbery, a 36% decrease in
Burglary, and a 27% decrease in Auto Theft.
Program leadership, qualifications to perform the work; PACE is led by Captain Richard
Gonzalez (ret.). Captain Gonzalez retired from the Omaha Police Department(OPD), after 25
years of service, in 2016 to become the full time Executive Director of PACE. Captain Gonzalez
spent 19 years of his law enforcement career working in the firearms, narcotics, and gang units.
Under Captain Gonzalez's direction, PACE programming has seen tremendous growth in
participation. Detective Antonio Espejo, a Gang Unit Officer has been with the OPD for over
twenty years. Detective Espejo is assigned, by the Chief of Police, to PACE as OPD's official
full-time PACE Liaison. Detective Espejo has spent most of his career in the gang unit and is
the primary recruiter for PACE programming. In June of 2021, Detective Espejo will be
officially retired from the police department and will be the full-time PACE Director of
Programming. Tish Mendick left the OPD in the fall of 2019 to become our full-time
Finance/Grant Administrator. Ms. Mendick has years of experience in the areas of police policy,
best practices, and accreditation. Prior to her time at OPD, Ms. Mendick was an operations
manager for a medical device manufacturer, and prior to that was a Financial Controller in the
retail sector for 14 years.
To the extent this program was impacted by the pandemic, briefly describe impacts on
operations as well as any residual modifications; PACE was one of the very few programs
offered to youth during the Covid-19 Pandemic. In 2020, PACE had 3,226 youth and 439
volunteers participate in its FREE programming. During 2020 we added staff to assist with social
distancing and the cleansing of equipment and surfaces to keep our players and fans as safe as
possible. We are looking forward to continuing to offer safe places to play for our youth.

Grant Award Special Condition
Award Condition: Determination of suitability required, in advance, for certain individuals
who may interact with participating minors
1 . Advance determination regarding suitability. The recipient (and any subrecipient at
any tier) may not permit any covered individual to interact with any participating minor in
the course of activities under the award, unless the recipient or subrecipient first has
made a written determination of the suitability of that individual to interact with
participating minors, based on current and appropriate information as described in
paragraph 3.E., and taking into account the factors and considerations described in
paragraph 4.
2. Updates and reexaminations
A. The recipient (or subrecipient) must, at least every five years, update the searches
described in paragraph 3.E.1. and 2., reexamine the covered individual's suitability
determination in light of those search results, and, if appropriate, modify or withdraw
that determination.
B. The recipient also must reexamine a covered individual's suitability determination
upon learning of information that reasonably may suggest unsuitability and, if
appropriate, modify or withdraw that determination.
3. Definitions
A. "Covered individual" means any individual (other than a participating minor, as
defined in this condition, or a client of the recipient (or subrecipient)) who is expected, or
reasonably likely, to interact with any participating minor (other than the individual's own
minor children). A covered individual need not have any particular employment status or
legal relationship with the recipient (or subrecipient). Such an individual might be an
employee of a recipient (or subrecipient), but also might be (for example) a consultant,
contractor, employee of a contractor, trainee, volunteer, or teacher.
B. "Participating minor." All individuals under 18 years of age within the set of
individuals described in the scope section of this condition as it appears on the award
document are participating minors.
August 2019—Page 1
C. "Interaction" includes physical contact, oral and written communication, and the
transmission of images and sound, and may be in person or by electronic (or similar)
means. But "interaction" does not include--
(1) brief contact that is both unexpected by the recipient (or subrecipient) and
unintentional on the part of the covered individual -- such as might occur when a postal
carrier delivers mail to an administrative office.
(2) personally-accompanied contact -- that is, infrequent or occasional contact (for
example, by someone who comes to make a presentation) in the presence of an
accompanying adult, pursuant to written policies and procedures of the recipient (or
subrecipient) that are designed to ensure that -- throughout the contact -- an appropriate
adult who has been determined to be suitable pursuant to this condition will closely and
personally accompany, and remain continuously within view and earshot of, the covered
individual.
D. "Activities under the award." Whether paid for with funds from the award,
"matching" funds included in the approved budget for the award activities under the
award include both.
(1) activities carried out under the award by the recipient (or subrecipient); and
(2) actions taken by an entity or individual pursuant to a procurement contract under the
award or to a procurement contract under a subaward at any tier.
E. "Current and appropriate information"
In addition to information resulting from checks or screening required by applicable
federal, state, tribal, or local law, and/or by the recipient's (or subrecipient's) written
policies and procedures, current and appropriate information includes the results of all
required searches listed below, each of which must be completed no earlier than six
months before the determination regarding suitability.
(1) Public sex offender and child abuse websites/registries
A search (by current name, and, if applicable, by previous name(s) or aliases), of the
pertinent and reasonably-accessible federal, state, and (if applicable) local and tribal
sex offender and child abuse websites/public registries, including--
(a) the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website (www.nsopw.qov);
(b) the website/public registry for each state (and/or tribe, if applicable) in which the
individual lives, works, or goes to school, or has lived, worked, or gone to school at any
time during the past five years; and
August 2019—Page 2
(c) the website/public registry for each state (and/or tribe, if applicable) in which the
individual is expected to, or reasonably likely to, interact with a participating minor in the
course of activities under the award.
(2) Criminal history registries and similar repositories of criminal history records
For each individual at least 18 years of age who is a covered individual under this FY
2019 award, a fingerprint search (or, if the recipient or subrecipient documents that a
fingerprint search is not legally available, a name-based search, using current and, if
applicable, previous names and aliases) (-- encompassing at least the time period
beginning five calendar years preceding the date of the search request -- of pertinent
state (and, if applicable, local and tribal) criminal history registries or similar repositories,
including--
(a) the criminal history registry for each state in which the individual lives, works, or
goes to school, or has lived, worked, or gone to school at any time during the past five
years; and
(b) the criminal history registry for each state in which he or she is expected to, or
reasonably likely to, interact with a participating minor in the course of activities under
the award.
4. Factors and considerations in determinations regarding suitability
In addition to the factors and considerations that must or may be considered uhder
applicable federal, state, tribal, or local law, and under the recipient's (or subrecipient's)
written policies and procedures, in making a determination regarding suitability, the
recipient (or subrecipient) must consider the current and appropriate information
described in paragraph 3.E.
In particular (unless applicable law precludes it), with respect to either an initial
determination of suitability or a subsequent reexamination, the recipient (or
subrecipient) may not determine that a covered individual is suitable to interact with
participating minors in the course of activities under the award if the covered individual--
A. Withholds consent to a criminal history search required by this condition;
