The Downtown 100 initiative was formed to reduce crime and improve public safety in downtown Minneapolis. Using a team-based approach, cooperation between the Minneapolis City Attorney's Office (MCAO), the Hennepin County Attorney's Office (HCAO), Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCCR), Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) and the Downtown Improvement District (DID), business and community members focus on chronic livability, property and drug crime offenders in the downtown area. The City of Minneapolis later launched a similar model, Focus 18/24, as an adjunct to the Downtown 100 Initiative to focus on young adults between the ages 18 and 24 who have a pattern of criminal conduct within downtown Minneapolis.

Due to the success of the holistic team-based model, the City of Minneapolis and DOCCR piloted similar models in 2013 and 2015, referred to as 40 Chronic Offenders and Citywide Top 200, to serve city-wide chronic livability offenders. Funding for these initiatives has come from the City of Minneapolis and DOCCR.

The City of Minneapolis receives grants from the Minneapolis Downtown Improvement District to support the funding for DOCCR probation officers. The funds received for each probation officer represent one-half (1/2) to two-thirds (2/3) of the average salary and fringe benefit costs of a DOCCR probation officer. The same level of funding will continue for 2019.

Amendment 4 to all three Agreements is needed because both the City of Minneapolis and Hennepin County wish to extend the term of the Agreements for another twelve (12) months.

Those offenders referred by the City Attorney's Office must be identified as chronic offenders in the "Downtown 100" to report to this probation officer. The probation officer will also participate in other community restoration activities in support of the Downtown 100 and Focus 18/24 initiatives; e.g., attending organizational meetings of Court Watch and the Citizens and Law Enforcement Action Network (CLEAN).
