Public Safety: Protecting Our Neighborhoods

As a candidate for City Council, I believe that public safety is the foundation of a strong, thriving community. Every resident deserves to feel safe in their home, in their neighborhood, and throughout our city. Protecting public safety means supporting our first responders, investing in proactive crime prevention, and ensuring that city policies put the well-being of our families, businesses, and neighborhoods first. Working together, we can continue to maintain a city where families, businesses and visitors feel secure and protected.

Key Public Safety Priorities

1. Supporting Local Law Enforcement and First Responders
I will advocate for well-equipped, well-trained police, fire, and emergency medical services to ensure timely and effective responses to emergencies. This includes supporting community policing initiatives, ongoing professional development, and investment in modern equipment and technology. Preventing crime before it happens is key to maintaining public trust and safety.

2. Building Stronger Community Partnerships
Public safety is a shared responsibility. I will promote programs that strengthen the relationship between residents, law enforcement, and civic organizations including neighborhood watch groups, and public safety forums to foster trust, communication, and collaboration.

3. Support for Visible and Proactive Policing
I will advocate for increased neighborhood patrols and community-based policing strategies that prioritize officer visibility, relationship building, and quick response times. When law enforcement is active and engaged within our neighborhoods, it serves as a powerful deterrent to criminal activity.

2. Investment in Public Safety Resources and Technology
Effective crime prevention requires modern tools. I will support the responsible use of public safety technology including security cameras in public spaces, updated communication systems, and data-driven crime analysis to identify patterns, address emerging threats, and assist officers in keeping our city safe.

A vote for Michael Lamb means you get my commitment to safeguarding the quiet, peaceful environment which makes our city special.
