What We Do
OUR APPROACH
Creating Safer Communities Together
HPCAV helps protect the community by working alongside residents, community leaders, and public safety partners to confront violent crime while also creating meaningful pathways for positive change. Our approach is rooted in collaboration, recognizing that lasting safety is built through shared responsibility and strong community relationships.
We believe accountability and opportunity must work together to create real and sustainable impact. Addressing violence requires both clear consequences and access to the support and resources that help individuals choose a different path forward.
When individuals are involved in violence, HPCAV supports a balanced response that includes:
Intervention & Accountability
Working with law enforcement and justice partners to directly address violent offending and reduce harm.
Opportunity & Change
Offering mentorship, supportive services, employment pathways, and life-stabilizing resources to help individuals choose a better direction.
Supporting Safer Communities
Through strategic prevention, youth engagement, and neighborhood investment, we help create lasting reductions in violence.
When communities unite around prevention, accountability, and opportunity, violence decreases and hope grows.

HOW WE SHOW UP
Community Involvement
For decades, HPCAV has served as a leading community partner in High Point’s violence reduction and community safety efforts. Through prevention, mentorship, outreach, and collaboration, we are committed to creating safer neighborhoods, strengthening families, and opening doors to opportunity for youth and adults alike.
Our direct community support initiatives have included youth summits, HBCU and college tours, career readiness training, reentry support services, community outreach programs, family-centered events, and school mentoring initiatives designed to encourage growth, stability, and long-term success.
Our Community Safety Partnerships
HPCAV works alongside the Violent Crimes Task Force (VCTF), a coordinated network of public safety agencies dedicated to protecting High Point residents and reducing violent crime within the community. Through this collaborative approach, agencies are able to combine resources, strengthen communication, and address public safety challenges with both accountability and prevention in mind.
This partnership effort has included collaboration with the High Point Police Department, NC Community Corrections, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the District Attorney’s Office, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Together, these partnerships help create a balanced approach to community safety by combining enforcement, intervention, prevention, and opportunities for positive change.
Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Hope is everyone’s opportunity. Join HPCAV in building a stronger High Point.
