COMMUNITY SAFETY

Community Policing & Public Safety Initiatives

A safe community is one where residents and law enforcement work together to build trust, prevent crime, and create lasting solutions. The Holy City Foundation supports community policing initiatives that bridge the gap between officers and the neighborhoods they serve, fostering relationships based on respect, communication, and mutual support.

​

Through workshops, outreach events, and neighborhood watch programs, we empower residents to take an active role in creating a safer North Charleston. Our safety initiatives focus not only on crime prevention but also on education, self-defense, and emergency preparedness.

​

Additional Community Safety Programs:

​

• Neighborhood Watch Training – Equipping community members with skills to identify and report safety concerns.

​

• Self-Defense Classes – Teaching residents how to protect themselves in various situations.

​

• Emergency Preparedness Workshops – Ensuring families are ready for natural disasters and other crises.

​

• Conflict Resolution Training – Providing tools to de-escalate conflicts and promote peaceful solutions.

​

• Youth Violence Prevention – Engaging young people in positive activities to deter crime and gang involvement.

​

When communities work together, real change happens. The Holy City Foundation is committed to making North Charleston a place where everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered.
