PULSAR PROMOTES THE YORK COUNTY SAFETY COLLAB
Pulsar has been chosen to promote the York County Safety Collab, one of the most exciting and progressive efforts to address increasing national unrest surrounding the fair policing of our communities. The York County Safety Collab is a powerful initiative which is actively restoring hope in our communities, confidence in our legal system, and trust in our police.
Launched in 2022 as a partnership of LogosWorks Partners, all 17 York County police departments, and the York County District Attorney’s office, the York County Safety Collab was created to move ideas and dialogue into action. The Safety Collab is actively funding equipment, training, and public engagement efforts that build goodwill and trust between police and the public. Their vision is simple: we are safer together!
Since its inception, the Safety Collab has already achieved a number of key objectives:
- $75,000 grant to provide over 140 body-worn cameras for all York County police departments to increase transparency and accountability
- $250,000 federal grant to provide de-escalation training for all 17 police departments to encourage non-lethal outcomes and ensure public safety
- $50,000 grant to purchase DNA collection equipment to improve accurate and impartial criminal investigations
- $1.1 million grant from the state of Pennsylvania to decrease violent crime in York County, educate young people, engage them as part of the solution, and improve access to services and resources for all individuals and families
Before involving Pulsar, the Safety Collab was quietly accomplishing all of these results in relative obscurity. Pulsar created a social media presence, a targeted plan to stream information and positive stories related to the Safety Collab's work, quadrupled its audience, and achieved several news features and additional media coverage.
