Public safety initiatives

We develop and implement smart public safety initiatives that:

• Seek the best long-term outcomes, not by measuring the number of convictions and the severity of sentences
• Address the underlying needs of chronic offenders
• Use treatment courts and effective programming for other offenders
• Divert offenders with minor offenses to resolutions outside traditional prosecution
