WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE
Work we've built with community partners runs in libraries, hospitals, health centres and downtown streets, and it has been recognised with the International Downtown Association's highest award. When a second town asked for a team, it was running almost immediately, because the people and the software already existed.

what we do
What We Do becomes Our approachWhat We Do becomes Our approach
People living through hard times know their neighbourhoods better than anyone, and that knowledge is usually what's missing from the services meant to help. We start there. The organisations already in a community say what is needed and who should do the work. We build the service and the technology behind it, the people doing the work are paid well and backed by a team, and from the start the plan is for the community to own it.
A flood, a wildfire or a conflict puts many more people in a hard place at once. A community that already has these teams and these tools keeps working through it.
Working with us
If you run a community, a district or an institution with a need nobody is meeting, bring it to us. If your work is research, development or civil preparedness, our platform is developed with partners, and we're looking for the next ones.
Local Workforce and Community Knowledge as the Foundation for Resilience
How a team hired from its own neighbourhoods was built, how a second town had one running almost immediately, and the technology that made both possible.
Zoongizi Ode (formerly Fearless R2W) has been working with PCS since the inception of the Community Safety Host program. Not only does Daniel and the team at PCS have exceptional knowledge of security and community safety and well-being, they keep people at the forefront of everything they do.
PCS takes the time to genuinely understand the needs of, not only our organization, but also our stakeholders and the community we work and live in.
I am very proud of the work that has been done with PCS and Zoongizi Ode. Zoongizi Ode is happy to continue working together with PCS and I would highly recommend them to any organization looking to develop a new program that prioritizes their community members.

I originally contacted Daniel & his colleagues to build a concept for a community patrol in our neighborhood that could address the unique needs of our community. They took things to another level on this project; they met with stakeholders and lobbied on behalf of our BIZ. When we sat down with the mayor at the end of the consultation, it was a clear demonstration of their commitment to my stakeholders.
I have confidence to give full responsibility to the team at PCS when it comes to projects involving safety, security and wellbeing in my BIZ. When I say they are “worth every penny” it really means that it is hard to put a price on the level of investment and care they put into the needs of my stakeholders.
I continue to trust the service of PCS as our needs and the climate evolves. They are a strong partner for my community, and I can easily recommend them to those organizations who can’t quite find the right fit for their stakeholders when it comes to security and wellbeing. They always take the time to listen and understand the needs; it is always clear that they are responding to my unique needs.
