When the community and law enforcement are on the same team, promoting safe streets and a peaceful, vibrant city, we all win.

A government’s primary responsibilities are public safety and infrastructure. Sara-Elizabeth’s top three priorities in this area include:

1. Support and improve LMPD.

Incentivize training for police officers in de-escalation, mental health support, and victim advocacy the way we incentivize add-on endorsements for educators.

Fund technological advancements in monitoring high-crime areas for faster solve rates and convictions.

2. Build community policing initiatives.

Implement strategies to strengthen ties and trust between law enforcement and the community, imitating Jeffersontown’s success in this area.

3. Partner with organizations helping released and reformed offenders.

Listen to and heed nonprofit organizations and businesses who pour time and resources into helping released and reformed offenders find a prosperous, safe path forward.

Let’s get to work, because when the community and law enforcement are on the same team, promoting safe streets and a peaceful, vibrant city, we all win.
