Regional Violence Prevention Coalitions (RVPC)

In November 2021, the Los Angeles County Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) partnered with six community-based organizations to establish seven Regional Violence Prevention Coalitions (RVPC) throughout Los Angeles County. These coalitions were established based on the premise that violence is preventable and that local leadership is critical to address the types of violence that impact unique communities.

The seven RVPCs, which each serve a Service Planning Area, have begun to build a diverse community coalition that welcomes youth, parents, community members, advocacy groups, faith and community-based stakeholders, and county partners to the table. These coalitions work in collaboration with local partners and stakeholders to advance important practice, policy, and systems change within each community and throughout the county.
