Crime Prevention and Safety (CPaS) is a committee of KFNA that provides a forum for residents to discuss crime concerns with 5th Precinct staff and each other in order to develop action strategies to address and prevent crime and to create a safer neighborhood. Presentations and crime statistics are provided quarterly at the KFNA Board meetings.
Residents and business owners also meet throughout the year to hear Minneapolis Police Officers and City employees give crime updates and answer questions about safety concerns. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate, and help organize community crime prevention strategies. Neighbors can also help by becoming involved with the Kingfield Block Walkers.
The CPaS Committee also plans and coordinates safety workshops and events throughout the year.
If you would like to be involved with the committee, or have ideas that you would like us to consider, please contact
