APD SAFE PLACE INITIATIVE
The APD Safe Place Initiative is a free and voluntary partnership with the business, faith, and non-profit community that serves a critical role in assisting victims of hate crimes.
Entities that participate place an easily recognizable decal at their entrances. This symbol is a signal for victims of hate crimes and bias incidents that the location has partnered with the police, will call 911 on their behalf and will allow them a safe place to stay on the premises.
Currently, over 200 entities in Austin are participating in APD’s Safe Place Initiative!
