OUR STORY
KTN was born in 2016. Chief of Police James Rovella was looking to form an organization that provided a safe space for residents, and Police to collaborate together. He spoke to New Life Worship Center a church in the North End of Hartford whose Pastors are William Cordero and Raiza Cordero and KTN was born in the basement of their church, where the first meeting took place.
We Care About
Connecticut
Our Mission is to bring together Hartford residents and other stakeholders to build relationships and take collective action that results in a positive community-driven change.
