Public Safety: Community Policing and Prevention
My Safe Streets Act, drawing on Blue Dogs' law-and-order stance and NDC's community safety goals, hires 500 local cops trained to de-escalate, spends $50 million on after-school programs and streetlights, and backs background checks and red-flag laws.
At a Romulus town hall, 39% of folks said safer streets are a must (University of Michigan, 2024). My Safe Streets Act, drawing on Blue Dogs' law-and-order stance and NDC's community safety goals, hires 500 local cops trained to de-escalate, spends $50 million on after-school programs and streetlights, and backs background checks and red-flag laws. Progressives' 'defund the police' talk doesn't fly here — we need strong, trusted law enforcement. A mom in Melvindale lets her kids play outside, knowing our streets are safer.
