Our Operating Model

A circular ecosystem where community, business, and government work together for safer communities

What is PPCP?

The Public-Private-Community Partnership (PPCP) model powers the Safer Places Network, creating a circular ecosystem where each stakeholder contributes and benefits.

Unlike traditional public-private partnerships, our PPCP model puts people at the center, creating a solution that is community-driven, privately funded, and publicly beneficial.

Our Core Principles

Voluntary Participation

Inclusive Access

Everyone can contribute to community safety, whether they have cameras or not.

Zero Cost

Free for all participants - residents, businesses, and police agencies alike.

Each stakeholder's contribution benefits the entire ecosystem, creating sustainable value for all.

All community observations are triaged to ensure only relevant, verified information is shared.
