The National Network for Safe Communities supports cities around the country to apply proven solutions to serious violent crime, overt drug markets, and overcrowded prisons, using existing resources.
About Us
Recognizing that involvement from both law enforcement and community is critical in solving these problems – but that neither can do it alone – the National Network strategies combine the best of law enforcement and community-crime prevention approaches to make communities dramatically safer.
The National Network, launched by the Center for Crime Prevention and Control at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, supports cities in implementing, sustaining, and advancing two specific strategies: the group violence reduction strategy (GVRS), first implemented as “Operation Ceasefire” in Boston in the mid-1990s, and the drug market intervention (DMI), also known as the “High Point Model,” after the North Carolina city that pioneered it.
