Best Practices in Community-Centered Public Safety

As cities across the country continue to work together to build safe neighborhoods, new community-centered models for public safety programs are proving to make a positive impact.

Carroll University and the Johnson Foundation at Wingspread are proud to partner with SAFE Communities, LLC to offer the Best Practices in Community-Centered Public Safety (CCPS) credential in January 2022, facilitated by Racine Police Department retired police chief, Art Howell.

Best Practices in Transformational Community-Centered Public Safety is designed for police/public safety officers and community leaders to examine and implement a holistic approach to the CCPS framework within their own communities.

The interactive, three-day session engages participants through problem-solving exercises and case studies. Participants will evaluate and share best practices for (re)building trust in public safety, cultivating engagement and community partnerships. During these sessions, participants will also examine current practices and challenges within their own communities. Participants will build a network of partners who can collaborate on public safety initiatives as they explore the CCPS model.

Following the three-day session, participants will collaborate to create their own community action plans and receive feedback from the CCPS leadership team.

Participants who complete only the three-day session will receive a Community-Centered Public Safety Level 1 badge. Participants who complete both the session and their action plan will also receive the Community-Centered Public Safety Level 2 badge.
