Restoring Trust, Ensuring Safety
Our Public Safety platform is built on Neighborhood Policing—bringing officers out of cars and back onto our streets to work alongside the residents they serve.
Neighborhood Policing Strategy
Beats on Feet
Reassigning patrol units to walking beats in high-density residential areas to foster personal relationships.
Crisis Response
Embedding mental health professionals within 911 dispatch to handle non-violent behavioral health crises.
Transparency Now
Mandatory, immediate public release of all body-worn camera footage involving use-of-force incidents.
Youth Mentorship
Work with city council, officers and community leaders to develop innovative approaches to engage with our youth.
Our Safety Goals
Working alongside city council and law enforcement to drive meaningful reductions in violent crime across every district.
Expanding community co-response so mental health professionals — not just officers — handle behavioral health crises.
Building measurable trust between residents and law enforcement through transparency, accountability, and community engagement.
The Safe Paths Initiative
Safety is also about the ground we walk on. Our 'Safe Paths' plan invests in solar powered street lighting, pedestrian-first street design, and emergency call boxes along every route connecting residential neighborhoods to transit hubs and schools.
