Mission, Vision and Values Partnership Values Making crime a thing of the past means more than enforcing the law. Crime prevention involves making every resident, every community agency, every business and every service a part of the solution. To mobilize communities and develop partnerships is not a task which can be accomplished overnight. Crime is a complex issue and factors which lead to crime often go beyond the individual to the heart of the community. Partnership approaches need to be guided by values which affirm the importance of the community.
