MOCJ Programs
Community Safety
Neighborhoods thrive when residents feel safe, supported, and engaged. Persistent crime, public-disorder issues, and lack of effective community-institution collaboration undermine both public safety and community trust. In many areas, efforts remain fragmented, reactive, or disconnected from the priorities of local residents.

Impact & Highlights
How does MOCJ help make communities safer?
The Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice (MOCJ) creates policies and programs across six key “intercepts,” spanning from community-based prevention through to reentry. At each stage, MOCJ funds and coordinates programs that combine direct services, cross-agency partnerships, data analysis, and legal reform.
Each intercept represents a point of opportunity: a moment when intervention can reduce harm, increase stability, and support people in navigating the justice system with dignity and care.
