Data Informed Community Engagement in Action: Collaborative Crime Prevention Training

Overview

This full-day, in-person workshop equips public safety leaders, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and community stakeholders with the tools to work together to prevent crime and manage public spaces effectively.

Using Data-Informed Community Engagement, participants will learn how to create a shared strategy for crime prevention that leverages advanced crime analytics and the unique strengths of local partners. This concept provides a clear, step-by-step process to bring multiple groups together, define problems, align resources, and design programs that are locally relevant and sustainable.

Through interactive discussions, hands-on exercises, and real-world case studies, participants will: - Understand how to shift from reactive responses to proactive, collaborative problem-solving. - Practice strategies for co-production, where multiple stakeholders share responsibility for public safety. - Learn to interpret and use crime and place-based analytics to guide decision-making. - Build leadership and communication skills for coordinating diverse partners toward common goals. - Leave with practical steps to launch or enhance an initiative in their own communities.

By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a roadmap to make an immediate impact using existing resources and partnerships, creating a flexible, adaptive approach to public safety that grows stronger over time.
