SafeStat: Data as a System Tool
What does it actually take for a city to own its violence intervention data — and use it? David Muhammad, one of the country’s foremost leaders in community violence intervention, will walk through how SafeStat is giving cities the data infrastructure CVI has always needed but rarely had: shared, community-controlled, and built to show what the work is actually producing. This session goes beyond theory into what SafeStat is making possible on the ground right now, and what it means for the cities coming next.

Your work deserves tools that keep up
Our team will be on-site all three days. We’re available to talk through how your city connects outreach workers, hospitals, and OVP staff — and whether a shared data view could change what’s possible. We can also walk through how pilot cities are using SafeStat® to build the evidence base they need to sustain investment and prove impact to funders and community members alike.
2025 was the safest year in modern US history, and sustained investment in CVI is a real driver of that progress. But proving that impact — to funders, to city leaders, to the communities you serve — still isn’t easy. That’s the problem we’re focused on.

Explore how SafeStat can help you tell the full story of your program’s impact to city leadership, state funders, or the community members you’re accountable to.
Solving key challenges for OVPs and CVI ecosystems
CVI has worked in silos for too long: a violence interrupter in one neighborhood, a hospital team in another, a city office tracking a third data set, none seeing the same picture. SafeStat® puts violence interrupters, outreach workers, hospitals, and city officials on a shared view of who is being served and where the gaps are.
