Public safety means that a person can walk down the street to a local shop without fear of being victimized. While hard to measure in a discrete manner, lessening instances of gun violence would be a clear indicator of an increase in public safety.
The South Side of Seattle has traditionally been under-served in all areas including public safety. Public safety includes things such as protected bicycle lanes and side-walks to reduce incidents of pedestrian injuries. I propose increasing protected bicycle lanes by 25 miles throughout South Seattle which also reduces reliance upon autos which account for 60% of the carbon emissions in our city.
Civilian oversight needs to be implemented with real world consequences for officers who are found guilty of violating the rights of our citizens. They should not be given a recommendation when transferring to another police force.
City-wide Crisis response teams for urgent but not emergency calls. We don’t need armed police officers showing up at the home of an upset person, we need people who are trained to help deescalate the situation and connect the person to whatever resources and help they may need.
