Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles: Trust and Community Safety
In the more than five decades since the Watts Riots of 1965, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) and other public sector agencies in Watts offered only partial solutions to the lack of safety in three gang-entrenched housing developments: Nickerson Gardens, Imperial Courts, and Jordan Downs. Similarly, a lack of investment and relationship building by law enforcement had compounded the issues of Ramona Gardens in East Los Angeles. The lack of violence within Ramona Gardens, also a HACLA housing development, masked the level of fear gripping residents, who were afraid to report crime because of gang intimidation and a lack of civic engagement. Over the years, the HACLA established numerous Community Safety Partnership (CSP) programs to improve residents' quality-of-life, improve police-resident relationships, and restore community members' trust.

Vallejo Police Department: High Crime Complicated by Adversarial Relationship with the Community We Serve
As Vallejo was the first city in California to file bankruptcy in 2008, the Vallejo Police Department (VPD) lacked resources and staffing to respond to, let alone prevent, crime. We had an adversarial relationship with residents; trust was lacking, residents didn't feel safe, and we didn't seek public input on how we enforced laws and promoted safety. Given low funding and staffing, we realized that our agency needed the community's help to combat crime and changed how we treated both residents and officers.

Conyers Police Department: School-based Policing
Increase of student body population and criminal activity at the schools became more than just one school resource officer (SRO) should have to handle. Increasing the staff by just one officer has allowed for the distribution of workload and given more time for the officers to get to know the students. Also, we chose to select one female and one male officer to have both genders represented at the schools, which allows students to feel more comfortable in building a trusting a relationship with the SRO of their choice.
