BT talking about the community safety partnership between LCW and the Lawrence Police Force
On Monday, September 28th, Lawrence CommunityWorks and the Lawrence Police Department were honored by MetLife Foundation for our accomplishments in reducing crime and improving quality of life in the North Common neighborhood. The MetLife Foundation Community-Police Partnership Awards ceremony took place at 4:30 p.m. at Our House, 168 Newbury Street, Lawrence. This Award, sponsored by MetLife Foundation and administered by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), recognize partnerships between community development groups and police departments that have reduced crime and spurred housing development, economic activity and improved community services in low and moderate-income communities. MetLife presented the First-Place Neighborhood Revitalization Award to the Lawrence partners, who were selected from more than 650 applicants nationwide.
