Ever wish you knew how to de-escalate a dangerous situation? What to do with someone experiencing behavioral, substance abuse, or homelessness challenges? How to build a more resilient downtown network? In weekly sessions, Public Safety ECHO will answer these questions, teach skills, and empower community members.
This is what community policing looks like in action: a community-driven, empowering, and data-based approach to stopping crime and making downtown safer for all of us. The project is bringing people together to build a community around revitalizing downtown together.
The Public Safety ECHO Project is a first-of-its-kind effort bringing downtown residents, workers, and businesses together in an online, social space to share skills, increase knowledge, and solve problems. It’s innovative because it taps into the community’s wisdom to find solutions.
