Let’s re-imagine public safety as a service that prioritizes caring for the needs of all people in the community.
Imagine a safe neighborhood where kids can play outside without fear of violence. Let's tell the story of de-escalation because mental health services were available. How about seeing a homeless family taken to safety. What if we had drug treatment for our brothers, sisters, sons and daughters instead of sending them to jail. We could save the life of a family member with crisis intervention services.
We can do this. We make our future. We will survive.
