The Neighborhood Support Center (NSC) provides a method for accumulating and processing information concerning neighborhood drugs, crime, and quality of life issues. The center will also provide a mechanism to stimulate awareness and assist in developing education and training to evaluate Hamilton County neighborhoods and the city of Cincinnati. NSC will facilitate a closed-loop process for residents to safely identify and report individuals who are engaging in criminal activities, to report quality of life issues, and to engage local government in a collaborative manner to solve neighborhood problems. The NSC will further provide information to educate the community on how to interact and work with law enforcement agencies.

NSC’s fundamental goal for the communities is to diminish the atmosphere of distrust and intimidation, eliminate the sense of fear resulting from being terrorized by criminals and drug dealers. And finally, to provided enhanced accountability and communication tools that encourage the county,city, and communities to work together.

Two organizations, the Public Safety Advocate Group and Who Killed Our Kids have merged their efforts to become the NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORT CENTER. By combining efforts these two organizations intend to streamline dialog and garner better results from law enforcement within the cities and townships that makeup Hamilton County. These organizations offer long-standing, established relationships with law enforcement, prosecutors, university professors, medical and local business professionals,and federal program advisors. These relationships help assure that NSC’s involvement stays on point and that government and civilian working relationships remain productive and accountable.
