Working together to build strong families, safe schools, and healthy neighborhoods.
The Hillsborough County Community Violence Prevention Collaborative (VPC or Collaborative) was created in the summer of 2013 as an initiative to transform the way local policy makers address violence.
This initiative shifts policy from a public safety to a public health model and aligns community and professional stakeholders to develop a comprehensive prevention and intervention approach.
Atone: A Blink Film – A GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION SHORT FILM
At age eighteen, Jayden Morton was sentenced to twelve years in prison for manslaughter after accidentally shooting and killing an innocent child.
Released shortly after his thirtieth birthday, Jayden wants two things, to be a father to his twelve-year-old son, Noah, and to find a way to redeem himself. Juggling the pressures from the outside world, Jayden must confront his past, seek redemption and convince his son to avoid the same mistakes he once made before Noah makes the greatest mistake of his young life.
Working together to build strong families, safe schools, and healthy neighborhoods.
Congratulations to Executive Director Freddy Barton for being honored with the Lightning Community Hero Award.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Tampa Bay Lightning as part of their Community Heroes program, Safe & Sound Hillsborough was able to purchase 2 vans and provide insurance to assist in the transportation needs of its Reporting Center and other programs.
