Working with our partners, we will create awareness and prevention models to minimize safety issues before they arise. We will focus more of our energies on livability issues by exploring creative methods to address livability crimes within our communities. We will employ and encourage environmental design strategies to physically promote public safety. Relationship with the Community: The City will provide quality public safety services that are competent, consistent, and fair. We will hold ourselves accountable to these standards. We will strive to ensure the community's trust and confidence in our public safety professionals by strengthening relationships with the community and engaging them as partners in public safety approaches. Particular focus will be given to strengthening our relationship with communities of color and new arrivals. We will balance public expectations with available resources and will communicate our priorities to the community, so that they know what to expect from our public safety services. Partnerships: The City will lead our partners to implement strategies to address issues of emergency preparedness, criminal justice reform, and neighborhood livability issues.
