PCCD Gun Violence Prevention Initiatives

Providing support for effective, community-led efforts to prevent gun violence is one of PCCD's top strategic priorities

PCCD's gun violence prevention and reduction initiatives include:

  1. Funding: Supporting adoption and implementation of innovative, evidence-based violence reduction strategies through grants, with a focus on supporting community-driven approaches.
  2. Technical Assistance & Stakeholder Engagement: Establishing a “Community of Practice” and information sharing network to spread promising practices and directly engage communities.
  3. Data and Research: Collect, collate, and analyze available data and research to evaluate outcomes and make adjustments to strategy as needed.

More information about PCCD's initiatives in each of these areas is available in the tabs at the top of this page.
