    • About Us

    In the early 2000s in East Flatbush, the murder rate ranked highest among the 5 precincts in the city, accounting for 25% of all violence in NYC. As a result of the high numbers of murders and the lack of community response to these incidents, clergy mobilized to address this urgency and created the 67th Precinct Clergy Council, reputedly known as “The GodSquad”. Formally established in 2010 with the full cooperation of the 67th Precinct, the GodSquad has been a valued partner in the fight against gun violence. Guided by the belief that the welfare and safety of our diverse community is our shared responsibility, The 67th Precinct Clergy Council, reputedly known as “The GodSquad”, adopted a holistic approach to help to lower youth involvement in senseless gun violence and build safer and more peaceful communities.

    Our mission is to heal and empower communities impacted by gun violence using a holistic, faith-based model. Our vision is a GodSquad that responds, rebuilds, and restores hope for safe communities beginning with dignity for all.

    Our values are focused on S.A.F.E

    o SUPPORT families impacted by gun violence

    o ADVOCATE for support and resources to rebuild communities

    o FORGE community partnerships

    o EMPOWER individuals through personal development
