Chicago needs a budget that supports public safety, strengthens our economy, and keeps our finances on track. I’ll keep pushing for a balanced budget that prioritizes safety, smart investments, and essential services.

7/ CARE strengthens public safety by addressing crises with compassion, dignity, and effective care creating safer neighborhoods for all, and by building trust between city services and the communities they serve.

6/ The continued and expanded funding for CARE will do this while also supporting our police officers by cutting response costs, overtime hours, and freeing up police to address and solve violent crime.

5/ Public safety does not and should not solely focus on reactive responses. On the contrary, Chicago deserves a system that simultaneously invests in excellence of policing, as well as root-cause intervention. It cannot be one or the other.

4/ Our police officers whose skills and training are best utilized addressing violence and serious crimes, should have a professionally trained support team available to address mental and behavioral health, and social needs crises.

3/ While it is no question that with federal cuts to various channels of funding and our city’s already existing budget deficit, we must strategically and efficiently direct our finite resources; including, how and when our Chicago police officers respond to emergencies.

2/ The CARE Program deploys behavioral health professionals to respond to residents in mental health crises. CARE is a smart, compassionate approach that improves public safety, supports our officers by easing their workload, & rebuilds trust between residents and city services.
