What we do
The Division of Safe Neighborhoods implements strategies and initiatives to prevent, reduce, and end violence in Philadelphia. Our division is particularly focused on addressing gun violence.
We work to create safer communities by:
- Promoting violence prevention citywide – partnering with law enforcement, City agencies, and the community to develop and implement Gun Violence Intervention (GVI) strategies;
- Investing in what works – using data and research to inform our investments in violence prevention; and
- Strengthening communities – mobilizing supports and providing positive alternatives in communities to help boost resilience among residents impacted by violence.
We support these programs:
- Community Crisis Intervention Program (CCIP)
- Violence Prevention Partnership
- Group Violence Intervention (GVI)
- Group Violence Intervention – Juvenile (GVI-J)
- Rapid Response Team
- Pushing Progress Philly (P3)
- Incarcerated Community Crisis Intervention Program (ICCIP)
