Candidate's Blog & The Public Safety Plan The City of Philadelphia is facing its greatest crime wave in nearly a decade. With a recent rash of homicides ringing in the New Year, 2006 is shaping up to be a repeat of the previous year. Philadelphia has lost too many lives to drugs, guns and violence, and therefore, it requires real systemic and cultural changes to how it "fights crime." At this time it should be abundantly clear that Philadelphia needs to completely overhaul its public safety system. Included in the overhaul should be such efforts as the creation of more strategic partnerships with federal, state, and county law enforcement agencies; and an overall emphasis placed on crime reduction and prevention, instead of the traditional and some what antiquated law enforcement models which only truly seek to maintain the status quo, i.e., to apprehend, arrest and prosecute criminals. Moreover, there needs to be an increased focus on crime reduction and prevention programs. These programs need to be handsomely funded and supported by neighborhood and community groups. This philosophy of prevention falls in line with Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson's mantra -- "We will never be able to arrest our way out of this problem." Lastly, given that area businesses also benefit from an overhaul of Philadelphia's public safety system, more public/private alliances should be formed in the fight against drugs, guns and violence.
