Community Ambassadors promote safety and connect people to important services in San Francisco.
Community Ambassadors Program
The Community Ambassadors Program (CAP) is a community safety and neighborhood engagement program. We engage, inform and assist community members in San Francisco. Look for our Ambassadors wearing bright yellow and black.
About us
CAP provides a visible, non-law enforcement safety presence in several neighborhoods. This focus on community safety helps us build trust, calm tensions, and prevent violence.
