DICE™ Workshops

DICE™ offers a strategic framework to empower communities with tools and techniques for collaborative crime prevention and public safety management. Our one-day in-person workshop equips participants with actionable insights to create sustainable, place-based solutions using Simsi analytics and the principles of co-production.

In public safety, “co-production” means going beyond traditional roles to actively engage all stakeholders in developing programs and services. DICE™ views public safety as a shared responsibility, ensuring that everyone—law enforcement, local government, NGOs, and community members—has a part to play in reducing crime and managing risk.

The DICE™ workshop provides a hands-on approach to building community-driven crime prevention programs. You’ll learn how to:

  • Define problems collaboratively with stakeholders.
  • Design and manage programs tailored to local needs.
  • Generate knowledge about what works to improve outcomes.

Our workshop is grounded in the Public Safety Collaborative (PSC) model, where multiple groups come together to build holistic solutions for crime prevention. Using DICE™, you’ll learn to transform data into actionable strategies that improve community outcomes and foster long-term engagement.

Flexible and Impactful Crime Prevention

DICE™ adapts to your community’s unique challenges and resources. It’s easy to set up and leverages existing assets for immediate impact. Whether addressing persistent issues or emerging risks, the DICE™ framework ensures a tailored, responsive approach to crime prevention.

Through this workshop, participants will:

  • Understand how to use RTM to identify environmental factors contributing to crime.
  • Develop strategies that align with local expertise and goals.
  • Create systems that encourage collaboration instead of competition among stakeholders.
