Our Initiatives for a Safer, Stronger City
CitySafe
CitySafe is our community-focused initiative offering free and low-cost workshops on self-defense, de-escalation, emergency medical response, and situational awareness. We meet people where they are, in parks, community centers, or online, to make high-quality safety training practical and inclusive.
Through partnerships with local nonprofits, community groups, and agencies, we expand access to training and support organizations in keeping their communities safe.
The Cadre Initiative
The Cadre Initiative is PPC’s year-long training program for veterans, funded by the NYC Department of Veterans’ Services. Participants receive monthly, hands-on instruction in self-defense, physical fitness, and team coordination.
Graduates earn an in-house certification reflecting PPC’s high standards of preparedness and professionalism, demonstrating their commitment to safety and their mastery of essential protective skills.
