A.
We are committed to reducing crime and improving safety in our community by working with the Downtown Shareholders of KCK and the Community Service Program through the Clean and Safe Program of the Downtown KCK SSMID. We are proud to work alongside community organizations and local police departments to help reduce crime and improve the quality of life for our residents. Our Guards are specifically trained to be visual and physical deterrents to crime. When patrolling, we report graffiti, code violations and trash violations, all of which can lead to and encourage crime. We also have memberships with and support the initiatives of many local organizations. We are very involved in community events and efforts to reduce crime and revitalize Downtown Kansas City, Kansas.
