Driving Innovation In Community Safety

OUR FIELD IS ON THE BRINK OF FAILURE.

  • We have to fix it. We have to do that by thinking differently about the way we approach it.

    JOHN WETZEL

At KRJC , we work tirelessly to improve our communities from the ground up. 

We take on the issues that are crippling our communities, and we take on the challenges facing our community safety systems. 

Finally, we take on the root causes of crime, helping to keep as many out of the system as possible. 

United for a Safer Pennsylvania

Phoebe Coles-Wetzel and John Wetzel, founders of KRJC, have dedicated their lives to service — John through public leadership and Phoebe through community engagement. Together, they bring decades of expertise to unite their shared passion for creating safe communities and boundless opportunities for every child in Pennsylvania.

KRJC provides a home for leaders who want to continue impactful work outside the constraints of government. Our Executive Director, Greg Rowe, exemplifies this vision. As the former “Criminal Justice Czar” for Governor Rendell and Executive Director of the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association, Greg now leads KRJC’s groundbreaking initiatives with passion and precision.

Who We Are

KRJC is defined by credibility, expansive networks, and measurable outcomes. While our vision is bold and expansive, it is grounded in strategic execution and proven accomplishments. We are trusted partners in the community safety sphere, creating safe spaces for truth-telling, collaboration, and problem-solving.

KRJC is Inspired. KRJC astonishes through innovation and transformation, continuing to have measurable impact on Pennsylvania’s communities.
