Safety
Living in a safe secure community is a top priority for any city. The city council should be responsible in keeping the community informed of trends and data from other agencies and the community. Using this data, the city council should be in favor of promoting safety by enacting by-laws to ensure citizen safety. Council should also facilitate initiatives for improving safety by bringing together stakeholders for that purpose as they do with the Suffolk Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee and the Suffolk Gang Task Force. There needs to be a concerted effort to try and retain quality personnel for police, fire, and rescue services.
