The CCS Although our work is about measuring results, providing useful data and improving performance, our ultimate goal is improving lives. We believe this goal can only be achieved through a powerful combination of dispassionate analysis and passionate commitment to community-based problem solving efforts.
Purpose  To share knowledge of key community considerations for creating effective community policing partnerships
How do you define: Community? Community Mobilization? Community Policing?
A community is a system of independent but interdependent entities that impact that system either negatively or positively.  Any one entity need not be located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the community to impact the system.
Who makes up community? Membership should be strategically broad.
The Community Criminal  Justice Agencies Elected  Officials Health  Care Professionals Service  Providers Neighborhood  Residents Faith  Leaders Researchers Business  Leaders Community  Leaders City Departments
Stakeholders must be  assembled for action
Strategic  Stakeholders Who are those community members MOST affected by the focused crime issue? What are the organizations that are most involved in issues related to the focused crime? Which groups will help you carry out your most immediate strategies?
Sustaining  Stakeholders Who can help you achieve additional buy-in? Who can help you secure additional funding? Who might be involved in developing more long-range strategies?

Editor's Notes

  1. The Center for Community Safety (CCS) at Winston-Salem State University was established in 2001 as a public service, training and research center with a mission to engage communities in the strategic utilization of research to shape action and enhance response to community safety issues. The CCS developed its 'Training & Technical Assistance Program' based on more than 10 years of practical field experience and expertise in working on data-based violence-reduction strategies and partnerships.
  2. Explain how you can think about this in the form of a grid. Take the the different types of partners – Law Enforcement, Other Agencies and Non-traditional Partners – and the different ways you can use partners – Strategic, Sustaining Partners, and Supporting Partners – and form a grid. During the course of the PSN initiative, you will benefit from broad and deep partnerships. To ensure that you are developing those, might want to think through what kinds of partners make sense for your communities in each of these grid blocks. Instructor: Can walk through each one.
