Re-envision Public Safety
We demand our city re-envision public safety to address the root causes of violence and to center transformative healing and justice.
What We Know
Policing accounted for approximately $172M or 36% of the city's FY21 General Fund budget in comparison to the 0.2% given to Health and Human services.
STL budgets one SLMPD employee for every 160 residents.
Our Vision
Re-envision Spin Off Units
like Traffic, Drug Enforcement, Domestic Abuse, Juvenile, and Internal affairs into departments like Streets, Health, Human Services, and Personnel.
Re-envision the Role Civilians Play
by empowering civilian staff trained in trauma informed case management to interview victims and draft incident reports.
