This panel will focus on how law enforcement and community violence intervention (CVI) programs can serve to complement each other as a part of comprehensive community-based crime reduction strategy. Rather than competing for resources and public support, police departments and local CVI programs can form collaborative relationships that enhance their respective performance and strengthen public safety. The panel will highlight partnerships from three jurisdictions and will include a candid discussion about the complex nature of these partnerships.
