AREAS OF ACTION
The Partners in Action Committee believes that by focusing on the root causes of crime you increase the health and safety of the community. The Committee’s action teams have been formed around the following areas of focus. As issues continue to come to the table, other topics can be added to the list.

AREAS OF FOCUS

• Housing / Homelessness

ADDITIONAL TOPICS

• Special Needs Programming
• Countering Violence
• Public Awareness / Engaging Community / Community Caring
• Accessible Health Care

RESULTS
The Partners in Action Committee delivers!  We create action teams that work together until problems are solved. There can be up to 15 to 20 action teams working at any given time and 50 to 60 different agencies, businesses and groups involved in the action teams. We are also the “home” for community strategies. We ensure that recommendations are followed through by organizing action teams to complete the strategies.

Please see our quarterly reports below to find out more about our results.
