About

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is hosting the 2024 National Public Safety Partnership (PSP) 10th Anniversary Summit: Building Safer Communities Together on December 9–11, 2024, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This event will celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the PSP program, and more than 60 sites that have participated in the partnership since 2014 will be invited. These sites will share tools, strategies, and technology they have used to address violent crime in their communities. As a longstanding partner at the U.S. Department of Justice, BJA would like to invite you to participate in this event to help support the quest for safer communities.

BJA is inviting more than 450 participants from sites across the country to this year’s summit. The PSP program focuses on some of the nation’s most violent cities, which have made significant strides in reducing violent crime by working with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement, prosecutors, and community groups to tackle the challenges unique to each site. DOJ supports these efforts by promoting evidence-based, data-driven, and victim-centered approaches to violent crime issues.

This year’s summit will feature plenary and breakout sessions with a variety of topics, including new trends in criminal justice and promising initiatives from cities across the nation. Panelists and speakers will include nationally recognized criminal justice practitioners and subject-matter experts who will conduct interactive team sessions that offer action-oriented, proven strategies across core focus areas. In addition, this summit will offer insight from current and alumni sites on the challenges faced and the successes achieved throughout the history of the program.

A Message From Bureau of Justice Assistance Director Karhlton F. Moore

Welcome to the 2024 National Public Safety Partnership (PSP) 10th Anniversary Summit: Building Safer Communities Together. As a law enforcement representative, prosecutor, or community member from an active or alumni site, you have played a vital role in working together to make your communities safer.

For this year’s summit, we have invited representatives from the 67 PSP sites across the nation that have been a part of this amazing journey for the last decade, and we thank each of you for paving the way for innovative and evidence-based solutions to combat violent crime and for embracing your communities as partners in public safety. It is that collaboration—between criminal justice professionals and the communities they serve—that is the most exciting and beneficial partnership to come out of this initiative to date.

Community is at the heart of all we do—making our streets and neighborhoods safe for residents and visitors to enjoy. This program has been a huge success in transforming cities and helping eliminate drugs, guns, and gangs from our streets.

This summit is designed to expand your vision for your community and to address new trends and issues impacting safety. Through plenary and breakout sessions, we offer speakers who are experts in their field and provide actionable strategies to tackle your challenges. We will provide opportunities to mingle with other PSP sites as well as federal partners, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices; the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration; the U.S. Marshals Service; and other programs in the U.S. Department of Justice, that serve as a force multiplier in operations and in resources. We are eternally grateful for their contributions to our sites and their successes.

We are proud to partner with you on this monumental endeavor and strive to continue the success of PSP for decades to come.
