Safer Together.
Believing that relationships are critical, the York County Safety Collab is a law enforcement and community partnership for improved public safety, with a special focus on youth. We are safer together.
We do this by bringing stakeholders to the table to promote change that makes a real impact. Leaders like police chiefs and officers, nonprofits, the DAs office, and community members.
Our holistic approach to public safety strengthens our shared goal of a safer York County.
Community Safety Summit
At our April quarterly Community Safety Summit, we identified many gaps in York’s social safety net that explain why and how youth are impacted by violence. In July, we sharpened our focus by identifying key players and defining our goal: Create safe environments that reduce youth involvement and exposure to violence by improving our capacity to reach and support them.
What happens when York County's public safety efforts are aligned?
Did you know that there are 17 different police departments in York County? In a time of deep social division, we not only need for police to have good relations with the public, we also need for the best public safety efforts to be coordinated.
The York County Safety Collab partners with each department, positioning us to better see opportunities for synergy. For example, we look for county-wide fundraising opportunities that impact every department. We also serve as advocates for police AND the neighborhoods so there’s fewer walls and more portals for positive interaction.
Our aim is to invest in this community to support law enforcement as they interrupt violence.
