Everyone wants to feel safe. It is a basic need and a fundamental right we all share — no matter who we are or where we live. We believe it is time to help break the cycle of violent crime and come together as a community to create a safer Kansas City for all.
Our belief is simple: everyone in Kansas City deserves to feel safe. Part of making that real is a well-funded, best-in-class, and accountable police department. Three pillars — Intervention, Accountability, and Prevention — guide everything we do. We are not just talking about change; together with this community, we are helping create it.
We focus on preventing crime before it happens through proactive measures and community programs, fostering a safer environment for everyone in Kansas City. We do this mostly by working with and providing resources for KCPD’s Community Engagement Division. By viewing crime through a people-centered lens and looking at its underlying causes, we can work to reduce crime through improving quality of life for our citizens.
By actively intervening with focused deterrence in situations that pose a risk to public safety, we aim to disrupt the cycle of violent crime and provide immediate support to those in need. We have prioritized funding initiatives that support KCPD’s intervention methods through digital forensic software and staff, virtual reality training, resources for detectives, and more. While much of our funding goes towards intervention initiatives, there is so much more to policing outside of enforcement.
To ensure that our police department operates with transparency and responsibility, we hold ourselves and our officers to the highest standards to build trust within the community. Building accountability through data and teamwork is one of the highest priorities of Chief Stacey Graves’ Crime Plan, and we fully support her mission to make Kansas City a safer place.
