ABOUT
REACH thrives on collaborating with community partners to develop community safety strategies that make Edmonton a safer and more vibrant place to live work and play.
HOW WE WORK
REACH conducts its work through community involvement, stakeholder engagement, and inter-agency collaboration. We aim to:

Gets the public on board with supporting the greater vision through engagement.
Advances policy that will result in wide-spread change.
