MCSP utilizes select non-profit organizations, called worksites, to fulfill court ordered community service hours. Each worksite receives court ordered community service workers on an ongoing basis. By utilizing the cost-free labor provided by community service workers, non-profit organizations reduce expenses and are allowed to provide additional assistance to Kansas City metropolitan communities as a result of that savings.
MCSP is very grateful to its worksites and works to maintain a lasting relationship with each. Each year MCSP holds a Worksite Appreciation Luncheon as a way of showing appreciation for the assistance worksites provide to the program.
The following is a list of currently utilized MCSP Worksites:

Here's what a few of our worksite's are saying about MCSP...
"Our Community Policing officer, Kevin Terry of KCKPD, arranged for an MCSP group to clean out a trashy lot and side streets in our neighborhood. The work would have taken us weeks to complete, but they took care of it within hours. Thank you for organizing this program. It is really turns something negative into something positive!" -- Shay Lewis, Step Up Neighborhood Association President, February 12, 2007
"We had a neighborhood clean-up with dumpsters for leaves and brush. We were very fortunate to have persons participating in MCSP in our neighborhood to address these overgrown areas. We were very pleased with the results of the services we received under this program. Persons participating worked hard and gave 100%. Officers and this program are to be commended for their efforts." -- Patricia Estes, Old Maple Park Neighborhood Clean-Up Chairman, October 20, 2006
"When I was a young neighborhood leader, I supervised community service workers in clean up efforts and I am so happy that they are helping me now." -- Suevonia Stewart on the NCSD Dangerous Buildings Paint Program where MCSP workers painted her home on September 23, 2006. She was so grateful for the help, she fried fish for MCSP participants.
