Who We Are

The Partnership for a Safer Cleveland is dedicated to working towards a safer city for all Cleveland residents. We quickly identify the real problems behind crime and violence issues, find the community service gaps that allow them to exist, and fast-track collaborative solutions to solve them before it’s too late. As an independent organization, we provide an array of services to the City of Cleveland and its departments - connecting city and county agencies that can help us in our mission, assisting in conference planning, facilitating group discussions around crime and violence issues, and providing training and education resources to the community. Together, we can change Cleveland for the better.
