About Us

The Community, Action, Resource, Engagement (CARE) Center is a product of community collaboration with the San Diego District Attorney's Office aimed at actively linking individuals in the community to community-based prevention and intervention services with the goal of building strong community relationships and reducing crime.

The District Attorney's Inter-faith Advisory Board (IFAB) has been formed over a decade ago as a way of maintaining an open dialogue between the office and the various communities throughout San Diego County. Each month, leaders from a variety of religious organizations meet at the CARE Center where they voice community concerns and work on solution-oriented initiatives to address the needs they identify as public safety issues. The Board has and will continue to provide cultural insight to law enforcement officials in non-emergency situations. In Addition, the IFAB conducted focus groups in various communities throughout San Diego County to develop this Cultural Awareness Project in an effort to provide education to communities and Law Enforcement, in achieving greater safety and services.
