The National Network for Safe Communities supports communities implementing strategic interventions to reduce violence and community disorder, minimize arrests and incarceration, enhance police legitimacy, and rebuild relationships between law enforcement and distressed communities.
“The National Network for Safe Communities is having a very real and very profound impact on the health and integrity of America's cities."
Karol V. Mason, President
John Jay College
The National Network's organizational leadership provides strategic guidance to our staff and community partners, offers expert advising, and convenes to review the National Network's overall planning.
Our Senior Research Advisors are those researchers who have had a central role in driving the theory, action research, and evaluation that has propelled the strategic interventions from the beginning. This group of researchers has made a special contribution and has unique insight into the work.
Our Senior Site Advisors are practitioners who are able to lead city-level projects from their beginning to full implementation. This cadre of people is specially capable of providing advice and guidance to individual implementation efforts and the direction of the work at large.
