Mission/Vision/Goals

The Knoxville Public Safety Collaborative is a broad-based partnership representing the corrections, law enforcement, and social service communities in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Our mission is to protect public safety and to promote better outcomes for at-risk families and children. We accomplish this by providing proactive, coordinated treatment and supervision services to high-risk/multiple needs offenders and their families.

The Knoxville Public Safety Collaborative has six goals to fulfill its mission. These goals are to:

1. Enhance day to day working relationships among community correctional officers, police and social service providers in the City of Knoxville.

2. Share information among parole and probation officers, police, and social service providers to more effectively manage offenders in the community.

3. Organize and share interagency information and resources to address the changing needs and risks of offenders as well as their children and families.

4. Develop and use a comprehensive and proactive case management process for high risk offenders and their children and families.

5. Use progressive sanctions, including supervised community service, for offenders in KPSC's target population.

6. Develop and implement a strategic action plan to expand and enhance the composition of the KPSC and to obtain the resources required to sustain its mission in the future.
