Community Action Teams

Salt Lake City’s Community Action Teams (CATs) are a multidisciplinary approach to solving community issues at the neighborhood level.

The teams are organized along the boundaries of the city’s seven council districts. They meet weekly to discuss issues in their communities and to fashion collaborative, creative and comprehensive solutions to problems in the community.

Issues are referred to the teams from the community through the police department, city council office, mayor’s office, city agencies, or community councils. These issues range from quality of life concerns, such as parking and code enforcement, to serious public safety issues including drive-by shootings, gang houses, and drug houses.

  • Maximize the use of resources to increase protective factors and increase community wellness.
  • Increase both total community and individual involvement through a comprehensive process of community organizing, mobilization, and assistance with ownership and empowerment.
