The Kansas City Public Safety Coalition, which includes 18 organizations, came together last Tuesday afternoon at Union Station to talk about the state of public safety throughout the city. Speakers included Kansas City Missouri Police Department Chief Stacey Graves, CITY OF KANSAS CITY MISSOURI FIRE DEPARTMENT Chief Ross Grundyson, Youth Ambassadors, Inc. Executive Director Monique Johnston and KC Common Good CEO Klassie Alcine. Each spoke about organizational efforts to disrupt crime and address the root causes that perpetuate violence. Kansas City’s crime statistics affect the entire region and the prevailing message was that solving the issues that result in violence will require all of us working together.
