Mission: To promote positive youth development and provide a continuum of services aimed at reducing youth violence, crime and victimization by developing and implementing community solutions through intergovernmental and intercommunity cooperation.
The Denver Safe City Office (SCO) serves as the youth prevention and intervention arm of the Denver Department of Public Safety. SCO was created in part as a response to Denver's 1993 Summer of Violence when youth-related crime and violence reached tragic new heights. Over the years, SCO has become an integral part of of Denver's public safety plan and has expanded its' programs to better serve the community. SCO partners with non-profit, community-based, private, business and government organizations to serve nearly 4,000 youth and families each year.
