Given these conditions and the city’s lack of funding to hire more officers and firefighters, what can we do as a community to improve the city’s most obvious and immediate crisis — public safety? We can ask members of the public to volunteer and assist in researching and evaluating innovative tools, more efficiencies and effective means to ensure the city’s public safety employees are protected on the streets and the citizens of Vallejo receive the high quality public safety they deserve. We can accomplish these objectives by establishing a public safety committee or commission. And on Dec. 13 of last year, Councilmember Gomes and I proposed just
that.
The goal of this citizen committee is to openly and transparently examine all aspects of public safety — including but not limited to researching, assessing and potentially instituting best practices in public safety with very limited funds and personnel (e.g., the Task Force on Prostitution); evaluating opportunities for interagency collaboration and sharing services across jurisdictions; revisiting current and future trends in public employee salaries and benefits; and considering the need for community participation in setting public safety policies, practices and standards.
