Short term: Enact immediate solutions so that people feel free to move throughout the city and participate in the community without fear by supporting proven prevention solutions like catalytic converter etchings and posting signs warning people about car break-ins. We must also ensure that the police have the tools and resources to investigate crime.

Intermediate term: Implement the recommended tiered dispatch system and fully staff the mental health response teams because mental health crises don’t just occur between the hours of 6am and 4pm. Build safer streets for all by investing in safety infrastructure, prioritizing Safe Routes to Schools, and investing in sidewalk infrastructure.

Long-term: Address the root causes of crime by investing in mental health support, youth programming, housing, and social services.
