PACT believes all residents of Miami-Dade County deserve to live in safe communities. In the communities of Allapattah, Little River, and Opa-Locka, several PACT congregations and their members have been seriously affected by crime in the past year.

Past Accomplishments
PACT has a history of successful work to combat crime. PACT actions in 1998 secured a community oriented policing program for the Norland / Norwood section of Miami-Dade and also secured an increase in the number of officers who can speak Haitian Creole. PACT actions in 2001 successfully targeted hot spots of drug-dealing and prostitution.

Current Campaign Focus
This year, PACT’s crime committee is working to increase the number of local police officers and patrols on duty at all times in Allapattah, Little River, and Opa-Locka.
