Community Organized Support & Prevention (COSP) is a non-profit community agency, which is under the administration of a volunteer Board of Directors. It offers community-based justice related programs for adults and young persons.COSP grew out of the visionary pursuits of a local judge who, in 1974 began using community based sentencing as a meaningful alternative to fines, which were becoming an ineffective deterrent to shoplifting. What has evolved from the concepts and endeavors of many volunteers is a comprehensive response to many justice programs.

Whether that abuse is physical, sexual, emotional, financial, spiritual or social, it affects thousands of people in Northumberland County every day. That affects our community's strength and prosperity both today and in the future as we deal with the outcome of children being raised in abusive homes.Domestic homicides do not just happen everywhere else. They happen here in our County too. The last woman murdered by an intimate partner in Northumberland County died in 2008. Other women have been murdered since then in our community by men who knew them well. Many women and children are living with abuse right now. You can help to stop abuse in our communities and in our County. Violence against women continues right here at home and it take every person to stop it.
