Safety

The Problem

We've been forced to live with too much crime and violence on our streets. And we've seen firsthand that our city is not prepared to protect us from disasters. Our recovery from the fires has been unacceptably slow. LA deserves better.

The Solution

We can make LA safer and more resilient. We will put more officers on patrol, expand our mental health response, and leverage modern technology for smarter, more effective policing. And we will rebuild our disaster preparedness so that when the next crisis hits, LA is ready. Safety is the foundation of everything else — a city cannot have vibrancy, economic mobility, or real solutions to homelessness without it.

How we'll do it

Public Safety

Increase time on patrol by reducing administrative burden on officers through automation
Expand the mental health public safety task force
Leverage modern technology for surveillance and investigation
Replace helicopters with drones for faster, more cost-effective response
Implement Flock Safety technology city-wide
Encourage community-based patrols

Resiliency & Disaster Preparedness

Bring in expert consultants on wildfire risk mitigation
Stand up a forestry corps to lead cleanups and vegetation clearings
Develop a modern, comprehensive disaster plan
Contract with third parties to supplement incident response operations
Require utilities to improve monitoring and uptime, including wireless operators
Build a desalination plant to meet minimum required water needs
