HACM has a high-quality in-house public safety program, headed by a former command officer in the Milwaukee Police Department. The staff of 22 includes one of the most experienced detectives from the Milwaukee Police Department's drug enforcement squad. These two highly qualified employees have facilitated collaborative initiatives with Milwaukee County, the State of Wisconsin, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and the U.S. Department of Justice.

In 2000, HACM partnered with the Milwaukee Police Department to close down 34 drug houses in public housing. During 2000, HACM's public safety staff saved Milwaukee taxpayers more than $800,00 by responding to lower priority calls to the Milwaukee Police Department and the Milwaukee Fire Department. They also generated more than $100,000 in revenue for the City of Milwaukee through the issuance of citations.
