Our
History
San Francisco SAFE, Inc. (Safety Awareness for Everyone)
is a community crime prevention and public safety program
that works in cooperation with the San Francisco Police
Department and other city agencies to help San Franciscans
protect themselves from becoming victims. SAFE was created
in 1976 as a project of the SFPD. In 1980, SAFE became a
non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, and 30 years later, continues
to act as the crime prevention component of the police department.
A major portion of SAFE's income comes from a grant contract
with the SFPD, but SAFE also receives donations and grants
in order to expand and enhance our crime prevention and
public safety services. SAFE has also received numerous
grant awards from the City and County of San Francisco,
the San Francisco Mayor's Office, State Office of Criminal
Justice Planning and local foundations. We have provided
major support to the San Francisco Police Department and
Mayor's Office by acting as a fiscal agent for these federal
and state funded grants, along with participating in numerous
crime prevention activities as a part of these grants.
SAFE has received several awards from the California State
Attorney General's office for outstanding service to the
community.
