APD Substation - ECHO Valley Downtown Safety District

The Public Safety ECHO Project is the world's first-of-its-kind effort to use the ECHO model to address safety issues by bringing residents, workers, and businesses together in an online, social and professional space to share skills, increase knowledge, and solve problems. It’s innovative because it taps into the community’s wisdom to find safety solutions, applying the Project ECHO "All teach, all learn," multidisciplinary approach to finding best practices. It is part of the city's strategy to tackle crime from all sides.

The Downtown Public Safety ECHO Hub team oversees the program and curriculum - community wellness, mental health, skills training, public safety, and drugs intervention and prevention. Read more about the Public Safety ECHO Hub Team & curriculum.
