Program Description
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is a nationwide network designed to create safer neighborhoods by reducing gang activity, gun violence, and gun crime, and sustaining that reduction.

Each USA is responsible for establishing a collaborative PSN task force of federal, state, and local law enforcement and other community members to implement PSN initiatives within the district.
