THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY IS CONNECTING ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO REDUCE HARM IN PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY.

This Harm Reduction Workshop, hosted by the Office of Community Safety in partnership with the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (NICJR), will convene local government, community organizations, and frontline providers to explore opportunities for stronger collaboration and more effective community-based responses.

Examine both government and stakeholder initiatives to explore service gaps.
Discover opportunities for increased coordination and collaboration.
Understand the full scope and drivers of community safety through clear, data‑driven analysis.
Strengthen coordination across agencies and community partners using a mapped and assessed harm reduction ecosystem.
Quantify the financial impact of safety-related incidents to inform policy and resource allocation.
Help implement consistent, high‑quality internal processes through SOPs, KPIs, and data systems.
Enhance the effectiveness of outreach and intervention staff with clear protocols and performance standards.
Advance a strategic, evidence‑based harm reduction framework that improves safety and outcomes for County residents.

NICJR works nationally to reduce harm and strengthen the capacity of organizations serving these communities. This Harm Reduction Workshop is designed to equip local government and stakeholders with the tools, insights, and protocols necessary to strengthen community safety efforts. By developing a deeper understanding of safety in the County, and building the internal infrastructure needed to implement effective, data‑informed harm reduction strategies, OCS & NICJR aim to foster Safe & Secure communities with you.

Your insights, experiences, and perspectives are essential as we map the County’s harm‑reduction landscape to build a coordinated network that can better serve our communities.
