The Rural MN Community Safety Project |
Region Five Development Commission, alongside Nonviolent Peaceforce, is highlighting safety in Region 5 (Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd and Wadena counties). Through law enforcement and community partnerships, we are hosting conversations and story circles, as well as conducting surveys, about community safety.
Why are we doing this?
- Those living here have shared that we need to talk about safety and how and when safety is felt, and by whom, in our region.
- Belief that the region does have shared values of wanting direct and indirect safety.
- Perception that “safety” is not solely the responsibility of the police/peace force.
- Notion that some of our community members don’t feel safe.
- Concept that some of our community members need healing…. even those who may be the ones inflicting division and pain.
This survey is entirely anonymous.
