Overview

Mission

To bring together the community, law enforcement, and the media to make the community a safer place to live and work.

What it reported doing in 2024

Gun stoppers: gun stoppers is a community program that is part of a city-wide effort to reduce violence involving firearms by encouraging people to report illegal firearms. Using resources and methods already popularized by greensboro/guilford crime stoppers, citizens can submit anonymous tips about firearms possessed by felons, stolen guns, firearms used in crimes, and guns deemed illegal under nc law.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
