Operation Safer Street is a four-pronged approach that employs targeted policing to flood "hot spots" with officers, gun reduction efforts to get guns off the streets, increased community engagement to prevent violence and share information, and violence prevention efforts through increased social services and other city services.
"Community engagement is an important part of our efforts to prevent and reduce violence," Mayor Street said. "This Web site is another way for us to connect with residents of our neighborhoods and to keep them apprised of all our activities."
Visitors to the site can learn about the city's efforts in each of the Operation Safer Streets four prongs by clicking on the Smarter Policing, City and Social Services, Community Engagement and Gun Reduction tabs.
Additionally, a Calendar of Events is available where residents can view scheduled upcoming community meetings as well as obtain important contact information and other details.
