Attorney General Jeff Sessions Announces Reinvigoration of Project Safe Neighborhoods

 

The PSN program uses the full range of data and technologies to identify the most violent locations in the district and the individuals who drive the violence in our cities. PSN partners then use all potential investigative tools and resources to develop and bring cases against those who commit violent crimes. Ultimately, the coordinate effort ensures that the most violent offenders in our district are prosecuted in the legal venue that provides the most certain and appropriate penalty.

National Public Safety Partnership

 

The National Public Safety Partnership (PSP) was established in June 2017 under the direction of Attorney General Jeff Sessions in response to President Trump’s Executive Order on a Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety, which emphasizes the role of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in combating violent crime. https://www.nationalpublicsafetypartnership.org/
