What we are working toward

The work under this priority is organized into four focus areas. Within each, the City has committed to specific objectives.

Crime Reduction

• Residents, businesses, and communities will be less impacted by crime and benefit from strengthened violence reduction programs.

Alternative Response

• Residents experiencing behavioral health, substance use, or homelessness-related needs receive timely and appropriate responses.

First Responder Quality & Trust

• Communities experience positive relationships with first responders through ethical service and investment in employee development. 
• The Sacramento Fire Department workforce reflects the diversity of the community.

Traffic Safety

• Residents benefit from improved street safety through targeted, high-impact engineering improvements.
