The mission of the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement is to foster a community oriented model of violence prevention and public safety that is rooted in a public health approach, recognizing that reducing crime is not accomplished solely through law enforcement.

Summary of Services
The Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement was created in June 2016 to coordinate and oversee the Community Stabilization Program and the Safer, Stronger DC Community Partnerships Programs. It is funded for the first time in the FY 2018 Proposed Budget.
