The safety and well-being of our communities also are interrelated, going beyond individual neighborhoods. So our police departments must work together and find more ways to tackle crime more proactively. This might mean data sharing and platforms that allow each police department the opportunity to create its own predictive policing models so that resources can be most effectively deployed. It could also be through shared advocacy at the state level for resources for additional patrol officers and much-needed down-stream investments, like additional dollars to build schools that are clean, modern and safe in both our jurisdictions.
