To combat street crime, we will facilitate a proactive partnership between community organizers, activists, groups, and the police department to foster positive community-police relationships and increased community-police communication and empower citizen anti-crime action through formal training and informal social interactions between citizens and police. Programs for children and youth will be offered to prevent youth involvement in street crime and to help positively engage young people affected by crises in the lives of the adults around them (Greenstone & Leviton, 2011)
