Crisis responders from the DVP and violence interrupters from DVP-funded organizations respond within one hour of activation to shootings in Oakland that are related to network conflicts or gender-based violence (GBV). This process is known as the Triangle Incident Response, and it is initiated when the DVP receives a notification of a shooting from the Oakland Police Department. The DVP maintains a staff of three individuals who respond to incidents related to network conflicts and three individuals who respond to incidents related to GBV. These staff are assigned to respond on a rotating schedule by day of the week, with one network responder and one GBV responder on call at all times. Violence interrupters employed by DVP-funded organizations are similarly assigned to respond based on days of the week and regions of Oakland.
