Welcome, and thanks for your interest in the Federal Way Safe City Program.
- Safe City is a community based initiative that unites businesses, residents, city officials, and law enforcement through a project intended to maximize safety and minimize theft and other crimes in our community.
- By uniting businesses, residents, city officials, and law enforcement in a plan to reduce crime, communities will become a safer place to live, work and shop. Corporate partnerships are more important than ever and far greater resources are needed to address the magnitude of the threats we now face.
- Safe City leverages partnerships and technical solutions to help reduce crime and create an environment where people feel safe and secure. Through your commitment and effort, your business can implement a Safe City project.
Join Federal Way's "crime fighting" community
SAFECITY operates like a business "crime watch" that allows stakeholders to communicate about criminal activity impacting their businesses on a real time basis. Community partners use the system to alert each other about criminal incidents impacting their business or geographic area, in an effort to prevent other partners from being victimized.
Community partnerships help police prevent crime
SAFECITY provides a means for law enforcement agencies to engage community partners/stakeholders in a public safety partnership. Every jurisdiction has business partners who want to help address crime in their community, but do not have a venue for proactive engagement. Community partnerships help police expand their ability to fight crime proactively.
"Members become additional eyes and ears for crime prevention, helping to minimize crime."
The Safe City of Federal Way initiative comes as a result of the joint efforts of:
- Federal Way Police
- The Business Community
- City of Federal Way
- Federal Way Chamber
The long-term success of this initiative depends upon this continuing collaboration.
"Creating a safe environment through partnership with the community." A public and private collaboration to protect life and property, prevent crime, and resolve problems."
