A NEW VISION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY


TRANSFORMING PUBLIC SAFETY THROUGH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT





The Transforming Safety project supports community development through small
business loan and grant programs. The project uses a new safety framework that
focuses on preventing crime in the first place by:

 * Focusing on economic and community development in specific neighborhoods more
   impacted by crime and justice system involvement
 * Empowering local community members to identify priorities and solutions
 * Providing funding to the community
 * Using a private sector approach that braids both for-profit and non-profit
   strengths

APPROACH TO PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE PILOT COMMUNITIES OF NORTH AURORA AND SOUTHEAST

COMMUNITY VOICES






HASSAN LATIF, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, SECOND CHANCE CENTER, AURORA


“When given the opportunity, individuals and by extension communities, will
seize upon ways to improve their overall condition. HB17-1326 is a unique
example of justice reinvestment’s potential to improve economic growth and
increased safety through entrepreneurial support and community development.”


PASTOR TAJ STOKES, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THRIVE AND SE COLORADO SPRINGS RESIDENT



“This bill is an opportunity to begin a new way of building community.
Empowering people can directly impact public safety and prevent crime and here’s
our opportunity to prove it.”




ANTHONY PEREZ, PRESIDENT, CONCILIO HISPANO DE EMPRESAS DE COLORADO SPRINGS



“Thanks to leadership and a new vision, the City of Colorado Springs is on the
rise with growth and innovative economic development. We’re seeing it every day.
Growth and innovation brings opportunities and House Bill 17-1326 will allow the
citizens of Southeast Colorado Springs access to the funding needed to seize
these new opportunities. I believe House Bill 17-1326 will provide current
business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs the resources needed to offer their
services and goods throughout the city, while also giving people new work skills
to take advantage of the opportunities created in Olympic City USA.”


OMAR MONTGOMERY, PRESIDENT, NAACP-AURORA CHAPTER



“The Aurora Branch of the NAACP believes that House Bill 17-1326 will open doors
of opportunity for individuals looking to launch their business or develop
innovative strategies to make our community safe. The goal is to change the way
we look at criminal justice reform by encouraging entrepreneurship and
developing grassroots strategies that will support the City of Aurora in keeping
our city safe. The NAACP looks forward to witnessing how House Bill 17-1326
turns dreams into a reality!”
