The Manchester Gun Violence Reduction Strategy is a product that resulted from a community-centered approach to identifying, analyzing, and developing evidence-based responses to the gun violence public safety issue in the community. This problem-solving approach was developed through the Manchester Police Department's Compstat360 model.
Through work with community stakeholders, a problem-solving team identified the circumstances and conditions that could be influencing the gun violence problem. Through this work, four focus areas were identified:
- Focus on Youth
- Focus on Places
- Building Community
- Focused Policing
