California Partnership for Safe Communities

California Partnership for Safe Communities works with cities to achieve sustainable community-wide reductions in violence. In each city where we work, CPSC engages a broad cross-section of community stakeholders concerned with violence to build working alliances that span the often deep divisions among criminal justice agencies, the community, and people at highest risk of gun violence. This remarkably effective, evidence-based intervention enables communities to achieve significant, timely reductions in street violence while reducing the reliance of cities on enforcement strategies that increase recidivism and incarceration.
