The primary job of the mayor of any city is to ensure that the core services are adequately taken care of; first on this list is public safety, which includes police, firefighters and other first responders.

I will work hard to fully fund public safety first to ensure that every street in our city is a safe one.

I will ensure our police, firefighters and other first responders have the resources and equipment/gear necessary for them to effectively, efficiently and safely to their jobs.

I will work hard to create more community policing and not only add new positions to the police force, but ensure those positions are actually filled and not just added to the budget for fluff.

I will work hard to ensure that our police and firefighters receive adequate pay and work to retain their positions.
