Earlier today Councilmember Bob Kettle (District 7), chair of the Public Safety Committee, made the following statement in support of a community-led 15-Point Plan aimed at addressing crime and enhancing public safety in Little Saigon, Chinatown International District.

“I fully support the work that is happening in Little Saigon right now to help make their neighborhood safer for everyone. As Chair of the Public Safety Committee, I know it’s important for the city to work with local community members in these efforts because while our committee is working on public safety challenges, Little Saigon residents know what is happening in their own neighborhood. I support them in creating a safer community and will work with them regarding their 15-point plan and alternatives, such as the Downtown Activation Team.

All these pieces are part of a comprehensive strategy that we on the public safety committee believe in. The final piece is partnering – with communities, the Mayor’s office, the City Attorney, and Council President Nelson to uphold public safety and ensure all communities feel safe.”
