Is your public business interested in joining Kenmore Police's Safe Place program?
The Safe Place program is a partnership between the police, business community, and schools. The program aims to create safe locations for individuals to visit if they feel they have been the victim of crimes, but specifically hate (or bias) crimes.
It is a law enforcement sponsored and overseen initiative that was born out of a need to address low reporting of biased based crimes and school bullying incidents by increasing public trust in law enforcement and feelings of safety in the community.
The program was first started by the Seattle Police in 2014. Over 200 police agencies in the USA and Canada participate in the Safe Place program.
