Goals: Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is designed to create and foster safer communities through a sustained reduction in violent crime. The program's effectiveness depends upon the ongoing coordination, cooperation, and partnerships of local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies and community organizations working together with the communities they serve — engaged in a unified approach coordinated by the U.S. Attorney (USA) in all 94 districts. Objectives: Create and maintain ongoing coordination among federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement officials for reducing violent crime while cooperatively engaging the communities they serve. Develop violence reduction strategies that are responsive to each district’s individual circumstances, resources, and crime drivers while considering how to effectively prevent future violent crime victimization and perpetration. Effectively use intelligence and data to identify high crime areas and prolific violent offenders.
