The success of BCJI depends on building strong cross sector partnerships. BCJI taps the resources of public, non-profit and community leaders to bring new approaches and resources to bear on longstanding crime challenges. Key elements of collaboration and partnership include:
Pursuing Collective Impact: Each site’s BCJI work is managed by a team of diverse, multi-sector partners that build a common vision and structure for collaboration and resource deployment. Collaborations include stakeholders from the community, including residents and community-serving nonprofit organizations, as well as public sector agencies and local businesses.
Coordination and Leadership: Managing a cross-sector process with many moving parts is a demanding job. BCJI sites codify decision-making structures and communication systems to aid accountability and effectiveness.
