Overview

Community safety is essential for fostering healthy, thriving neighborhoods where residents feel secure and supported. It involves collaboration between local authorities, public health organizations, and community members to prevent violence, reduce crime, and create safe public spaces. Promoting community safety also includes addressing social determinants like housing, education, and access to resources. By building strong, connected communities, we can reduce risks, enhance well-being, and ensure a safer environment for everyone.
