67th Precinct Clergy Council, “The GodSquad”

The 67th Precinct Clergy Council, Inc. “The GodSquad” is a faith-based organization comprised of clergy focused on lessening neighborhood tensions and acting as a liaison between their communities and law enforcement. Recently, The GodSquad established Clergy For Safe Cities (CSC), a national coalition to support clergy-based gun violence prevention initiatives and implement a collective, comprehensive, community initiative to decrease the involvement of young people in crime and gun violence in their city. To date, CSC has trained 500 faith leaders on successful clergy-based models and best practices.
