High Point Community Against Violence

Almost twenty years ago, in late summer of 1997, High Point Community Against Violence was formed in partnership with the High Point Police Department. The Focused Deterrence Strategy was created and implemented. Since then, High Point's violent crime has decreased 67 percent while our population has increased 44 percent. Are we safer? Yes. Are we finished? No. Our goal remains the same: to make High Point a safe city for everyone.
