Office of Community Safety

Community Safety Advisory Committee (CSAC)

The Office of Community Safety (OCS) is committed to improving safety in our communities by addressing the root causes of disturbances in our County. Our Community Safety Advisory Committee collaborates with OCS to guide the strategies and priorities of community safety initiatives.

The primary role of the CSAC is to engage with residents through listening sessions and other OCS initiatives, gathering insights from various segments of the community. CSAC members work closely with community leaders, community organizations, and community stakeholders to provide insight to help develop collaborative solutions for diverse community concerns in the county.

The committee will begin meeting this summer and will concentrate on all areas that affect community safety and wellbeing. These areas include youth empowerment, homelessness, mental health, substance misuse, as well as environmental, traffic safety, community healing, and violence prevention work. This citizen-based advisory committee will engage closely with community leaders, community organizations, and community stakeholders to provide insight to address community concerns that affect community safety and wellbeing.
