The Summit Safe Place Program is a Union County initiative and partnership between the Summit Police Department and area businesses and organizations that promotes a citywide zero-tolerance policy toward discrimination, advancing a shared commitment to providing for the safety and security of all residents and visitors.
The program establishes safe places for victims of bias, harassment, discrimination, bullying, or hate crimes to find shelter while calling 911 for help.
Union County and the City of Summit defines these as incidents related to race, color, religion, gender expression or identity, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, political ideology, age, parental status, national origin, or ethnicity.
