PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
SAFE AND CLEAN - Presented by Steven Bond
The Safe & Clean program has been in operation since July of 2013. During that time, City agencies, including HPD, Human Services, Community Development, Fire and Rescue, and others, have been working in collaboration to address specific needs of targeted neighborhoods throughout the City. Some of the targeted interventions into these neighborhoods have included increased patrols and neighborhood interactions by HPD, a mobile field office using the Public Safety command vehicle at highly visible locations, increased staff interactions with residents, observing neighborhood conditions, establishment of rental inspection districts and taking direct action on problems requiring immediate attention.
The Safe & Clean Task Force continues to develop and fine tune strategies to sustain its efforts to reduce crime, improve property maintenance, increase property values, and increase the quality of life of residents within the targeted neighborhoods.
The purpose of this briefing is to update City Council and the public on actions taken and results achieved thus far, feedback received from residents, data collected and next steps of the program.
