The Newark Community Street Team is a public safety organization based in Newark, New Jersey, founded to implement the city’s community-based violence reduction strategy. It employs outreach workers and high-risk interventionists to operate in the South Ward and West Wards, applying an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to violence reduction. Its work centers on engaging residents and coordinating response efforts to reduce violence by addressing underlying risk factors and improving community safety. The organization has partnered with other public safety entities and has pursued collaborations to expand its reach, including a recent community-led program aimed at co-responding to overdose calls in Newark in collaboration with University Hospital EMS. The team operates within the broader public safety and violence intervention landscape and serves as a localized model for neighborhood-focused intervention efforts in the region.
