SHOW NOTES
Community safety is the cornerstone of social cohesion, fostering trust and unity among residents. When people feel secure in their environment, they are more likely to engage positively with one another, leading to stronger bonds and collaborative efforts that enhance overall well-being, resilience, and shared prosperity within the community.
In this week's episode of the Public Sector Podcast Mayor Mike Savage discusses the importance of developing specific community safety units - outside of emergency service units - and the outcomes of incorporating a Municipality-wide public safety strategy on crime rates.
