Kansas City created a new safety department to unify crime prevention, reentry, and community services under one agency.
Kansas City, Missouri, has approved creating a new Department of Community Safety to unify violence prevention, reentry services, and community accountability efforts under one structure.
The department, led by former Jackson County Detention Center Director Diana Knapp, will coordinate city agencies, community organizations, and services like housing, legal aid, and mental health care.
It aims to improve collaboration, reduce crime, and build trust, with 148 positions planned in two phases.
The city will establish a task force and advisory committee for oversight, while the department will not replace police or courts but enhance the broader public safety ecosystem.
