The foundation of a safe and welcoming community is a strong and responsive public safety organization. As your City Councilor, I’ve made “Safe Streets” a top priority; leading the effort to install traffic calming measures and reducing the speed limit on city roadways to 25mph. In addition, I also strongly supported a Council measure approving over 2 million dollars for the design of a new police headquarters, and the establishment of a Substance Abuse Prevention Outreach Coordinator and Recovery Coach positions. I also advocated for critical equipment for the fire department, and computer system upgrade to improve our emergency response.
