In Louisville and across America, there is a widespread realization that it is well past time for us to reimagine public safety. While acknowledging that our police officers perform a difficult, dangerous and essential job, we also must recognize that public safety is more than we can realistically expect the police to create alone.
This means that to fully answer the calls for racial justice and equity following the tragic deaths of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and far too many others, we must, as a society, take more responsibility for creating the conditions necessary for public safety in every neighborhood. This was a resounding theme in a two-day national summit on Reimagining Public Safety that I led May 18-19 in my role as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
