| Our long term goal is to provide total protection at all city facilities in a manner that far exceeds that of any city nationwide. We plan to accomplish this goal by increasing the number of Security Officers and Special Conservators of the Peace citywide as well as expanding the integrated surveillance system that is monitored live on a daily basis. This will allow a quicker detection of criminal activities and provide for a shorter response time to our citizens request for help. |
