NEWARK SAFETY

Newark's public safety ecosystem is not a finished project. We believe it is special - and that it could represent something of a blueprint for other cities invested in their communities and open to the idea that those communities might best understand the solutions to violence that threaten their collective well-being. But we know that Newark's ecosystem can improve and encompass more of the community's needs. As much as this document might be a blueprint, it is also a promise to continue striving for better solutions and stronger peace... A movement is underway to center the community in building - and redefining - public safety. The city of Newark is creating a blueprint that is special but doesn't have to be rare.
