What We Do
The AdHoc group Against Crime serves as a liaison between the community and the criminal justice system. The organization has had a long standing partnership with The Kansas City Police Department working closely with their Missing Persons and Juvenile Units, along with the units that fall under the Violent Crimes Division, to assist in bringing justice to crimes and finding those missed by loved ones.
AdHoc hosts community forums where justice agencies have the opportunity to respond to community concerns, as well as partners with The Office of Community Complaints (OCC) to serve as a site for individuals to file complaints against police officers they feel have violated KCPD’s code of conduct.
AdHoc also works closely with The State Division of Youth Services, Family Court, Jackson County Prosecutors Office, Kansas City Crime Commission, COMBAT, individuals and community organizations
