Crime Prevention and Safety (CPaS) is a committee of KFNA that provides a forum for residents to discuss crime concerns with each other in order to develop action strategies to address and prevent crime and to create a safer neighborhood.
The CPaS Committee could also plan and coordinate 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
