ONE SAFE COMMUNITY.COM (Stop Violence and Increase the Peace; Improved Community Building and Community Police Relations © 2014 )
Introduction:
The One Safe Community . Com is founded on the belief system that we must stop the violence and increase the peace in America and the world at all costs. One Safe Community . Com are “contracted technical support teams” of outside and objective specialists that help to create “constructive community engagements and trainings” to “increase peaceful” communications and help to re-establish trust and build new foundations for mutual respect and consensus dealing with communities to combat gangs, hate crimes, poor community police relations, alarming incidences of domestic violence, immigrant-related conflicts and contemporary societal change needs requiring new leadership strategies and public partnerships.
As such the One Safe Community . Com’s specialized technical-support teams provide capacity building, training and initiate programming for community based organizations, public and private schools, 21st century community policing partnerships, gang prevention and community incarceration advocates, and faith-based institutions and organizations to create research-based solutions for local social reconstruction. Let’s face it no small city or community wants to be labeled like Ferguson, MI and no large urban city wants to be considered as problem-apparent and as complex as Baltimore is in need of improving community relations.
We must all “roll up our sleeves” and recreate sustainable and safer communities. The One Safe Community Development Process has four a part solutions-oriented program to service interested lead organizations that need capacity-building and immediate professional technical support to addresses:
- Stop The Violence Increase The Peace: Closing leadership gaps to solve potential and already controversial violence in their communities (Gangs, Racism & Hate Crimes, Community Policing)
- Better Police Introductions: improving community police relations and identification of current and emerging leaders
- One Safe Community: screening new programs verified by “needs-assessments” for normalcy through community surveys related to: job creation, workforce development, education, gentrification, public and professional municipal development training
- Safer Community Info: new professionally produced community television pilots, PSA’s, digital technologies, apps and social media
The One Safe Community research based process is solution based to employ new possibilities for community building through “shared vision” for quality growth and leadership development. All “world class” communities and those striving to become world class communities
According to research-based methods on community building progressive citizens should seek visions of a “livable sense” of community through determining core competences, striving to experience interconnectedness, creating sustainable collective intelligence and a learning architecture that complements national, state and local democratic standards in K-12 and college education related to indivisible rights, justice and freedoms ordained by our Constitution. All future communities must act and accommodate citizen and constituent learning in alignment with school-age children who are taught to protect our U.S Constitution and rights that make America the great model for democracy in the world.

World-class, New York City and perhaps especially Brooklyn in the last month of 2014 may have been at its lowest point in perceived community-police relations on December 17th when police officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were ambushed and murdered in their patrol vehicle. This event was just after two separate local juries chose not-to-indict police officers which prompted thousands of people in NYC to literally slow down Christmas shopping and “shut-down” Midtown Manhattan protesting against the deaths of unarmed American citizen’s, Michael Brown and Eric Garner who died in the process of their criminal discovery processes and or arrests.
February 13, 2015 before President’s Day the Commander of 75th Precinct Inspector Michael LiPetri (NYPD) and 25-year veteran community-based leader, Winchester Key, CEO of the East New York Urban Youth Corps (ENYUYC) and precinct clergy partnered in an initiative called Increase The Peace/Stop The Violence March and Open Community Discussion that has now changed the course of community police relations.
