Community is the Future of Public Safety
Description:

A real alternative is community-centered solutions that are working in cities across the nation, addressing the root causes of violence and healing trauma in those communities. Learn how communities are re-defining public safety and the extraordinary impact these new approaches are having on current and future generations.
