The Community Safety Investment Framework (CSIF) emerged through strategic work on mental health and addiction, ongoing community engagement about public safety, and feedback received through public consultations on systemic racism. The CSIF Terms of Reference guides investment in outcomes for Calgarians experiencing crisis, with the long-term outcome to improve the wellbeing of Calgarians through an equitable and effective crisis response system. 

CSIF is a collaborative effort between The City of Calgary, the Calgary Police Service and community partners to connect and identify ways to improve support for Calgarians in crisis due to mental or emotional distress, addiction, conflict, or a threat to their safety. CSIF supports Calgary's Mental Health and Addiction Strategy theme of staying safe by addressing gaps in:

• crisis services for individuals, their families, and support networks.
• outreach services.
• the crisis response system in Calgary, including any gaps in racially and culturally appropriate services.
