The Tulsa Equity Alliance Community Safety Crew (C.S.C.) empowers everyday community members with the knowledge and skills needed to foster a safer, more resilient Tulsa. Through training, education, and direct response, we equip individuals to prevent harm, deescalate conflicts, and provide critical support in emergencies—ensuring that safety is a shared responsibility, not just an institutional one.

Who Are We?

The C.S.C. consists of crew members who have dedicated themselves to learning hard and soft skills, training other community members, and responding to events in our community. The idea is that if everyday community members are armed with safety knowledge and skills, our community will be safer and benefit because there are more individuals who can prevent harm, deescalate conflicts, respond in emergencies, and mitigate consequences during delays in public safety response times.

Areas of practice include, but are not limited to: understanding relational organizing; restorative justice practices; mental health awareness & first-aid; medical training & life-saving techniques; substance abuse harm reduction; and basic understanding of environmental extreme weather.
