The program covered essential CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles to help attendees identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in their business spaces, promoting environments that reduce risks associated with crime and vandalism.

Over the past two years, community organizations, residents, local businesses, elected officials, law enforcement, and additional stakeholders have been working more closely together to overcome historically segmented efforts to reduce violent crime. In 2024, a series of symposiums bridged stakeholders’ goals and vision for a safer Kansas City. KC United for Public Safety is a community-based framework that uses Omaha, Nebraska as a model, where they have seen a 70% reduction in violent crime over the past 17 years. The framework aligns various plans into one collaborative plan to address the root causes of violence today and implement evidence-based solutions for the future.
