At Guardian, we believe in an America where every person feels safe, and where law enforcement is focused on preventing and deterring violent crime- in particular, gun violence.

Gun violence is an expensive, retaliatory and multifaceted problem caused by a tiny percentage (usually less than 1%) of a city or county’s population.

Expensive

Aside from the incalculable toll in lives, gun violence costs American local governments an average of $17,316 per gun homicide, and $9,850 per gun injury.

Retaliatory

Gun violence causes gun violence– studies have shown that a single shooting can generate between 11 and 63 additional shootings over the next three to six years.

Multifaceted

Gun violence is caused by both a perceived lack of consequences and a lack of available support and services by those most likely to shoot or be shot.

Concentrated

Gun violence is concentrated among a tiny group of people who are most likely to shoot or be shot.

Strategic Approach to Violence Enforcement (SAVE):

SAVE is an affordable, proactive, and comprehensive policing strategy that helps identify the tiny percentage of people most likely to shoot or be shot. Using evidence-based focused deterrence theory, SAVE helps specialized police units interrupt retaliatory cycles of violence to:

IDENTIFY shooters and likely retaliators
REFER likely retaliators to Community Violence Intervention (CVI) programs
DETER further violence by swiftly arresting shooters and warning likely retaliators

Here’s what Gang Officers, Homicide Detectives, and commanders in a recent Guardian training had to say about our services:

Deputy Chief Donald Reid

Hopewell Police Department, Hopewell, VA

Nick helped transform our community. Before implementing this strategy, our city struggled with frequent surges of violence that induced a lot of fear in our community. However, through a combined community effort we were able to see remarkable results, reducing homicide by 71%. Our program's success is a testament to Nick's consulting.
