The TCS Approach
peace can't wait!
To achieve violence reduction in various jurisdictions, we customize and utilize the following tools:
COMMUNITY ASSESSMENTS
TCS works with city departments to acquire and conduct
inventories of current assets and services to determine the strategies that are most appropriate to establish new relationships or enhance existing ones. TCS believes that “grassroots” organizing and engagement are essential for communities to be successful in curbing high levels of violence. A goal of organizing is to ensure that community residents and stakeholders are truly engaged and involved in a process that will fully equip them with the ability to contribute toward decisions about specific violence prevention strategies and methods that will be employed in the communities in which they reside.
​
DATA ANALYSIS
TCS works with research partners, community stakeholders, and local law enforcement to obtain and examine current violence data to ascertain the contributors of violence for each specific context. The data is reviewed regularly in a series of meetings, including shooting reviews with law enforcement, community groups, and city departments, to analyze violence trends and determine effective strategies to address each circumstance.
CAPACITY BUILDING
Community-Based Organizations are vital foundations to cities across the country. TCS focuses on helping local violence prevention nonprofits improve their infrastructure and
effectiveness. Organizations often lack access to capacity-building support, which is frequently overlooked. However, we've seen many organizations thrive and sustain themselves by strengthening their infrastructure through support from TCS.
