The Metro Nashville Mayor’s Office, in partnership with the Metro Public Health Department, is launching a comprehensive, citywide community engagement process to inform the development of Nashville’s first Community Safety Plan. This effort will take place from January through June and is designed to ensure that every resident has the opportunity to shape a safer, more connected Nashville.
This engagement process will bring together residents, grassroots organizations, government agencies, youth, and community leaders to identify priorities and solutions that strengthen safety and wellbeing across Davidson County.
The process includes:

To guide this work, the Mayor’s Office and the Metro Public Health Department have convened a Community Safety Task Force composed of leaders across Metro agencies, community partners, researchers, and subject-matter experts.
The Task Force is responsible for developing the foundational framework of the Community Safety Plan, grounding it in data, research, and proven best practices. However, the plan itself is being shaped with the community. Resident input, lived experience, and ongoing feedback inform every major decision, ensuring that the final plan reflects community priorities and aligns evidence-based strategies with what people say they need most.
Task force meetings are open to the public. While designated task force members will lead the discussion, community members are encouraged to share their input through an upcoming feedback link.
Full dates, times, and other relevant information for upcoming community engagement meetings will be released in the coming weeks.
