Every family deserves to feel safe on their block, in their park, and at their front door. 

Public safety works best when it starts with prevention, not just response. Daryl Parks believes real safety comes from strong neighborhoods, well-supported first responders, and smart use of technology. As Mayor, he will bring police, fire, EMS, and emergency dispatch together under one clear strategy so that no neighborhood waits longer, feels less safe, or gets less attention than another. 

Daryl’s Plan:

• Brighter streets, active Neighborhood Watch programs, and community policing so residents know their officers by name. 

• After-school mentorship, safe parks, and youth programs that stop crime before it starts. 

• Modern crime-fighting tools, and faster 911 response times in every zip code. 

• Competitive pay and staffing plans for police, fire, and EMS, plus real support for the Consolidated Dispatch Agency answering our emergency calls.
