Since becoming the first Latina to Chair of the City’s Public Safety Committee, I have made it my priority to innovate and deploy programs that heed the calls for reform and create a safer Los Angeles.
It’s why yesterday we unveiled Project TURN (Therapeutic Unarmed Response for Neighborhoods), a public safety initiative that will provide much-needed training and support to community intervention workers who are regularly exposed to high trauma environments.
Providing them comprehensive training and support is an important tenet of how our City will deliver transformative change, strengthen our public safety response, and create more equitable investment in a community based public safety model.
