INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Oakland County Health Division is applying for grant funding through the 2025 Michigan State
Police Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) in the amount of $352,825 for the period April
1, 2025 through December 31, 2026. The Byrne SCIP furthers the U.S. Department of Justice,
Bureau of Justice Assistance mission of achieving safer communities by assisting state, local, and
tribal efforts to prevent or reduce crime and violence, particularly gun violence. Bryrne SCIP
provides funding to support implementation of violence prevention and intervention programs,
particularly those focusing on gun violence.
POLICY ANALYSIS
This grant will support the planning, implementation, and evaluation of new initiatives to reduce
firearm-related suicide deaths among the high-risk population of 20–39-year-old white males,
particularly those who are current or potential gun owners. It will also support families following a
firearm-related death to address trauma and help decrease future incidents. Finally, this funding will
help support planning efforts for community-level violence prevention work utilizing the Cardiff
Violence Prevention Model.
Project goals outlined in the Project Narrative include: (1) provide suicide firearm reduction
education and outreach directly to target population and to business/groups interacting with target
population, (2) provide an on-site firearm collection and destruction service open to all of Oakland
County, with focused outreach to the target population and groups interacting with target population,
(3) develop and coordinate a Violence Reduction Council utilizing community safety partnership
agreements with public safety and healthcare organizations, (4) provide supportive services to those
who have experienced an unexplained, violent or suspicious death of a loved one by firearm.
If grant funds are awarded, a community-based organization partnership will be established with
Disarmory Ministries, through an MOA, to assist with on-site firearm collection and destruction
services.
Additionally, 3 staff positions would be created: 1 SR FTE Family Advocate Support Navigator, 1 SR
PTNE Public Health Educator, and 1 SR PTNE Data Analyst (10% of budget).

PROJECT NARRATIVE
Description of Problem
Firearm injuries are among the leading causes of death for people aged 1-44 in the United States.
In Oakland County, Michigan, more than 100 people die from firearm-related injuries yearly,
and two-thirds of these deaths are suicides. A total of 562 firearm-related deaths were recorded
by the Oakland County Medical Examiner during January 1, 2020-December 16, 2024. Of these,
398 (71%) were suicides and 159 (28.3%) were homicides.
Demographic breakdowns revealed significant disparities. Men accounted for 76.7% of firearm-
related homicides and 83.4% of firearm-related suicides. White men in the 20–39-year age group
make up 31.9% of suicide deaths by firearms. Black/African American residents, who comprise
13% of the county population, experienced 27.4% of firearm-related deaths. This racial disparity
is even more pronounced for firearm-related homicide deaths with 62.2% impacting
Black/African American individuals.
Project Design and Implementation
Strategy #1: The Gun Shop Project, first developed in 2009 in New Hampshire and has been
implemented in numerous states, provides direct outreach and collaboration with gun owner
groups and retailers to educate about suicide risk and provide resources on how to intervene in a
suicide-related crisis.
Implementation: A grant funded public health educator will provide retailers, instructors, and
customers with educational materials and training and also collaborate with community partners
who typically engage with the target population of young adult/adult white males. There will be
a specific focus on outreach to individuals in that population who are likely gun owners (i.e.,
hunters) and/or at an increased risk of suicide (i.e., veterans).
Impact: Increased awareness of suicide, warning signs, risk factors, knowledge of safe firearm
storage practices, and stigma reduction.
Strategy #2: Staff a collection and disposal site for unwanted firearms.
Implementation: The community-based organization, Disarmory Ministries, will employ a
trained firearm disposal expert to staff a stand-alone gun depository and destruction site which is
a temporary tent housed alongside a van that can destroy firearms and store the scrap metal.
Drive up donors fill out a form. The firearm is retrieved from the donor’s vehicle, unloaded and
destroyed.
Impact: Decrease the number of unwanted firearms circulating in the community and decrease
the number of firearm related suicide attempts and firearm related injuries.

P a g e 2 | 6
Strategy #3: Develop and implement community violence intervention model
Implementation: Health Division staff, both grant and non-grant funded, will spearhead a
community safety partnership agreement with key organizations such as the Oakland County
Sheriff’s Office and a local hospital system to convene, collect and share data and develop data-
informed violence prevention strategies utilizing the Cardiff Violence Prevention Model.
Impact: Improved community-level understanding of gun violence and the adoption of tailored
interventions and prevention activities by increasing access to available data from public health
organizations, healthcare/hospitals, and law enforcement.
Strategy #4: Provide counseling to address and help heal trauma following a violent death.
Implementation: A Family Advocate Support Navigator (FASN) will provide support services
to those who have experienced an unexplained, violent or suspicious death of a loved one. The
FASN will be linked to families through the Medical Examiner’s office process to follow-up,
identify resources, make referrals to appropriate services until the case is complete.
Impact: Increased support for families experiencing a loss.

Evaluation
The overall goal is to decrease the number of suicide deaths among 20–39-year-old white males
by reaching out directly to those at increased risk – individuals who own guns or are prospective
gun owners. In addition, resources and training will be given to those who interact with this
target population during a critical decision-making period of purchasing a weapon.
Death data will be monitored by Health Division staff on a monthly basis using a newly
developed firearm injury surveillance tool. Firearm-related death data is exported directly from
the OCME's forensic case management system and processed in R, then visualized in an internal
BYRNE SCIP- 2024 ROUND 4

P a g e 5 | 6
Power BI Dashboard. Oakland County has an existing relationship with UM-IFIP, including
daily sharing of detailed data related to firearm deaths.
In addition to death data, the public health educator and data analyst will work together to track
the number of gun shops, gun owner groups, and community organizations reached by outreach
efforts as well as the number of materials distributed to each.
Disarmory Ministries will track the number of firearms collected, destroyed and disposed of and
provide that data to Health Division via monthly reports.
All of the data collected will be shared with UM-IFIP by the Health Division on a quarterly
basis.

Oakland County Health Division – Grant Proposal
P a g e 6 | 6
Previous organizational experience: Oakland County Health Division (OCHD) led the
organization of the Oakland County Youth Suicide Prevention Task Force, established in 2012.
In 2019, the Task Force broadened their focus to include all ages and is now named the Oakland
County Suicide Prevention Task Force (OCSPTF). Sectors represented on the Task
Force include public mental health, public health, human services, community-based
organizations, education, hospitals, substance use, and treatment services. The distinct areas of
expertise offered by each participating entity are responsible for the quick development and
execution of a proactive suicide prevention plan that inspires system changes across the varying
sectors.
Since its inception in 2012, the Task Force has developed printed and electronic resources for
parents, youth, and schools; held annual community forums to share and obtain input about
mental health and suicide prevention needs; engaged youth involvement; launched countywide
awareness campaigns; and promoted suicide prevention trainings.
The Task Force plays and will continue to play a key role in promoting suicide prevention
trainings to the community as well as planning and advertising community-wide events and
initiatives. These efforts serve to connect people to resources and bring attention and advocate
for increased and improved services and coordination. The Task Force continues to convene
regularly to collaborate and maximize local resources.
Staffing and other resources dedicated to this project: Oakland County Health Division will
hire a part-time, non-eligible public health educator who will coordinate tasks and support
implementation of the proposed work plan. This position will be dedicated to the project 100%.
The Health Division will also allocate 10% of the budget to support a part-time, non-eligible data
analyst position as the local evaluator. In-kind staffing will be provided with a Health Education
Supervisor to manage the project budget, reporting, and oversee the Health Educator responsible
for program implementation. In addition, the Planning & Evaluation Supervisor will oversee
local evaluation efforts and reporting requirements. Both supervisors work together on projects
frequently and will collaborate on this grant with regular meetings and ongoing communication.
The Oakland County Medical Examiner’s Office (OCME) will receive funding to hire a full-
time, eligible Family Advocate Support Navigator with in-kind supervision from the OCME
Manager.
This grant will support the planning, implementation and evaluation of new initiatives to reduce
firearm-related suicide deaths among the high-risk population of 20–39-year-old white males,
particularly those who are current or potential gun owners. It will also support families following
a firearm-related death to address trauma and help decrease future incidents. Finally, this funding
will help support planning efforts for community-level violence prevention work utilizing the
Cardiff Violence Prevention Model.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN [Oakland County Health Division]
AND
[Disarmory Ministries]
FOR
Reducing firearm suicide deaths among young adult white males
This Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is entered into by the Oakland County Health Division
and the Disarmory Ministries for the purpose of partnership on reducing firearm suicide deaths
among young adult white males, which consists of providing an on-site firearm collection and
destruction service for unwanted firearms to the target population and to business/groups
interacting with target population within Oakland County.
I. Life of the Agreement
The agreement is effective when an award notice and fully executed contract is received
by the Oakland County Health Division from the Michigan State Police, Grants and
Community Services Division, through December 31, 2026.
II. Roles of Each Agency
Disarmory Ministries, a new non-profit ministry founded by Reverand Chris Yaw from
St. David’s Episcopal Church, will be the community-based organization to lead this
strategy. They will employ a trained firearm disposal expert at a stand-alone gun
depository and destruction site - a temporary tent housed alongside a disposal van
that can destroy firearms and store the scrap metal. All donated firearms will be
destroyed in the same day they are received, and no weapons will be left or
unattended. Drive up donors fill out a form. The firearm is retrieved from the donor’s
vehicle, unloaded and destroyed.
Oakland County Health Division will promote the service and potentially house the
mobile unit in the parking lot of their Southfield Office.
III. Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables
Goal
•Disarmory Ministries will provide an on-site firearm collection and destruction
service for unwanted firearms to the target population and to business/groups
interacting with target population within Oakland County.
