Susanna's Priorities

Public Safety

The community feels less safe now than they did three years ago.   

Change is needed.

 

  • Launch a three-tier Crime Strategy - Evidence-based policing strategies that focus on Prevention, Partnerships, and targeted Patrol 

 

  • Strengthen the Office of Neighborhoods - Fully invest in the successful principles of dual-response with social workers to better address underlying behavioral health issues 

 

  • Promote Community Policing ideals at all levels - Develop connections with the people we serve to empower neighborhood safety partnerships  

.  

Trust & Transparency

Effective policing requires building trust with our community.
