“Since day one, Mayor Lightfoot has been clear that her highest priority and greatest responsibility as mayor is ensuring peace and safety in all of Chicago’s neighborhoods," Lightfoot spokeswoman Anel Ruiz said in a statement. "To continue our efforts to meaningfully reduce and prevent violence across Chicago, the City is building on its all-hands-on-deck strategy by doubling down on violence prevention programming, ensuring support for those who are at the highest risk of violence, and keeping police accountable to the communities they serve. That is why the Mayor’s Office and the Office of Budget and Management are working directly with aldermen, advocates and anti-violence community-based organizations to develop a comprehensive framework for violence prevention as part of the 2020 Budget that will ensure Chicago’s neighborhoods have access to the violence prevention services and supports they need and deserve.”
