Safe Streets is a program of Prevention
and Recovery Services located in Topeka Kansas. Safe Streets was founded in the fall
of 1995 with the mission of creating a healthier community
by addressing substance abuse and crime through prevention
education and citizen empowerment. The vision of Safe Streets
is “Peace in
the Neighborhood.”
This vision is continuously pursued
through several ongoing efforts. From setting up neighborhood
watch groups, supporting youth involvement in the community,
encouraging community mobilization, and forming the Safe
Streets Coalition to address
crime and safety concerns, Safe Streets work in the community
is ever-changing.
