The city's description of the new programs makes this much clear: They will reduce policing. "Neighbors Together is a tool for communities to build resiliency by supporting neighbors and groups to organize and be better prepared to address a wide range of safety issues," the Office of Civic and Community Life said in a statement promoting the new program to neighborhoods. "If your community wants to advocate, build awareness, and/or organize around safe routes to school, natural disaster or emergency preparedness, youth empowerment, walking group, street art and improvements, potluck in the park, and more of the like, Neighbors Together is for you!"
