Establishing Neighborhood Crime CouncilsBy Kamala HarrisCandidate for District Attorney; City of San Francisco |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
San Francisco is a city of neighborhoods, and our neighborhoods deserve a voice at the District Attorney's office. Instead, over the last eight years, the neighbors have been told that important problems such as drug-dealing, teen prostitution, aggressive panhandling, and gang violence were not a priority. To give neighbors a voice, I will create Neighborhood Crime Councils that will act as a forum for the District Attorney's office to listen to the particular crime problems of that community and help determine how the office uses limited resources to improve our neighborhood quality of life. During the campaign, I will also begin holding neighborhood town meetings in every Supervisor's District. These will be opportunities for neighborhoods to hear my views and for me to hear neighbor's view on important crime issues. As the District Attorney, I will also work to expand and improve Community Courts, which have been used with limited success in this city but with great success throughout the United States. Community Courts are especially effective in deterring quality of life crimes and improving the day-to-day life of our city. |
