Residents and neighborhood leaders are invited to join the City of Savannah’s Department of Community Planning and Development and the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department (SCMPD) for Neighborhood Empowerment: Anti-Crime Strategies for Community Leaders. This session will take place Saturday, April 23 from 8:15 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Savannah Civic Center. The event is free, open to the public, and includes a free breakfast.

Subject matter experts including Project End Gun Violence: Step Forward, The Mediation Center, and several crime prevention units from SCMPD will share anti-crime strategies and facilitate discussions to equip community leaders with actionable strategies to increase awareness and reduce crime-related incidences in their neighborhoods.
