FORCE Detroit

FORCE Detroit’s mission is to advance community-led strategies that interrupt, prevent, and reduce gun violence. The organization uses community violence intervention (CVI) to approach gun violence as a public health epidemic, curable with data-informed, evidence-based, customizable, stakeholder-driven solutions that minimize legal system involvement and maximize human potential. FORCE links individuals and groups at the center of violence with trusted messengers who have walked a similar path and are connected to resources that save lives, address trauma, and provide opportunities.
