FAQs

The National Network for Safe Communities and its partners have developed innovations to support its proven strategic interventions to reduce violence and improve public safety, minimize arrest and incarceration, strengthen communities, and improve relationships between law enforcement and the communities it serves.


Innovations





Reconciliation

The process of reconciliation involves law enforcement partners and communities directly engaging with one another in order to address past and present harms, air grievances, and address narratives that keep both sides from moving toward their shared goal of improving public safety.



Custom Notifications

Custom notifications are an innovative way to communicate quickly, tactically, and directly with particular high-risk people.


Social Network Analysis

Social network analysis is a mathematical method to describe the structures of street groups. It is increasingly helpful in identifying high-risk individuals to engage with community-based interventions.


Strategic Prosecution

The National Network’s evolving model for strategic prosecution aims to reimagine the role of the prosecutor’s office in contributing to violence reduction goals.


Support and Outreach

The National Network has begun to frame a new "support and outreach" structure carefully tailored to the core street population, its situation, and its needs.
