Communities Partnering 4 Peace (CP4P)

https://www.metrofamily.org/cp4p/cp4p-info/

Understanding that effective solutions to community challenges require residents’ active support and engagement, CP4P’s model puts the power in communities’ hands. Community-based organizations form the core of CP4P’s implementation model and engage residents to participate in the solution to gun violence while forging closer partnerships with public agencies and the police department. CP4P prioritizes working with the Chicago Police Department to develop a strong relationship, built and maintained on mutual trust and respect between CP4P’s outreach workers and CPD. CP4P targets individuals at highest risk of being perpetrators and victims of violence. We are accomplishing this through developing authentic, trusted relationships in communities, facilitated by local organizations skilled and informed in peace, trauma and wraparound services, with capable outreach workers who live and work in the communities they serve.
