Here’s what every Denver mayor candidate says about the city’s greatest public safety concern.
The Denver Post sent a questionnaire to candidates in the April 4 Denver municipal election. Answers are lightly edited and ordered alphabetically by candidate’s last name. Following are mayoral candidates’ answers to the question:Death at traffic stop: don’t do it!I will take a comprehensive approach to community safety. My safety priorities include:
• Working with our public safety officials – leaders, officers, and staff – to create a stronger culture built around national best practices, transparency, and accountability. • Address crime prevention by investing in housing, health care, education, and economic development.Crime, cops and reform: Here’s what Denverites say the next mayor needs to address about public safetyOur number one public safety concern is gun violence. Gun violence, like the multiple crises we face in Denver, shares a similar root: economic and racial inequality.
Our law enforcement officers must also reflect the diversity of our city. One way we can achieve this is by encouraging Denver’s young people into the Public Safety Cadet Program. Additionally, I will expand our gun buy-back program to get dangerous weapons off our streets.Youth violence and domestic violence makes up the bulk of our homicides. Last year there were 88, 2021 there were 96, and 95 in 2022. We need more youth centers and arts related services to engage that population.
