With the recent rise of incidents in our city, creating a safe environment for our residents is paramount to maintaining a comfortable place to live, work, play, and visit. Bringing together the Public Safety Department, Public Safety Commission, outside security vendors, local Neighborhood Watch associations, local business owners, and city residents, along with our local law enforcement to collectively work towards improving the safety for all of our residents, neighbors, and visitors of West Hollywood must be a top priority.

The newly contracted by the city safety consultant must involve Neighborhood Watch captains, local leaders and city residents to provide feedback on community needs and public safety concerns when it comes to policing. The consultant should also collect input from a vendor that services the city with the Security Ambassador program. The collected data will help the city be better informed and effectively engage with LASD to make necessary changes in its training and policing tactics. Create programs that lead to better outcomes and save police officers' time and allow them to focus on other priorities, such as violent crimes and traffic violations and accidents.
