Describe the challenge you want to address:

Seniors don't feel safe in their community especially when these gangs of teens are congregating.

What is the solution to the challenge?

To improve community safety and well-being, it is crucial to allocate resources toward enhanced safety measures, including a greater presence of dedicated street police officers. These officers can significantly contribute to creating a secure atmosphere by actively creating relationships with residents, especially senior citizens, and providing them with essential support. By focusing funding on these initiatives, we can build a safer and more interconnected community for all.
