Bring stakeholders together to focus on public safety
Encourage stakeholders to come up with strategic solutions for community safety concerns. Providing space to encourage ideas and provide feedback between stakeholders is important to ensure different programs are integrated and tested. Using your funds and expertise can help provide a wider array with stakeholders with the assets to build partnerships and share common problems and best practices with each other.
To get started:
Conduct outreach to communities that will help inform discussions with stakeholders.
Provide outreach to stakeholders to coordinate discussions that have been informed by community outreach.
