    Summary

    MetLife Foundation and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) are partnering for the fourteenth year to recognize, sustain and share the work of innovative partnerships between community groups and police to promote neighborhood safety and revitalization. Through this awards program, MetLife Foundation and LISC will identify and honor partnerships that exhibit tangible accomplishments in their efforts to advance the process, outcome, and/or evaluation of potent police-community collaborations. 

    ?This award targets strategies that draw upon the unique tools of community development to change the physical and economic landscape of places to address crime.
