COMMUNITY SAFETY ADVISORY COUNCILS
& Resident Advisory Councils

The Community Safety Advisory Council (CSAC) concept represents a collaborative forum hosted at each Community Safety Partnership (CSP) Neighborhood Engagement Area (NEA).  Each CSAC is composed of area residents, institutional partners, community stakeholders, and community-based organizations.  Meetings are hosted monthly and are designed to amplify the community’s voice, while identifying and addressing the fundamental public safety needs and issues at each CSP NEA.  Through a commitment to partnership, issues are identified, corrective strategies are developed, and the achievement of measurable outcomes becomes a shared responsibility of all CSAC members, memorialized in each site’s unique Strategic Safety Plan (SSP).

CSAC STRATEGIC SAFETY PLAN WORKBOOK

The Strategic Safety Plan (SSP) workbook supports each CSAC in determining the most effective response to community public safety issues and cultivating positive, actionable outcomes to produce community health and wellness.  The SSP is not set in stone, but is dynamic and subject to revisions, and captures the initiatives, activities, milestones, and partnerships needed to accomplish public safety goals.  The SSP serves as a roadmap for long-term, sustained partnerships between the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and the communities we serve.  The workbook contains a variety of exercises, but most importantly, emphasizes the critical role of community members in the design and implementation of their respective SSP.
