A coalition of community and labor leaders has penned an open letter to Davis city leaders, urging them to create a Department of Public Safety that addresses public health and proactive services.
The Davis for Real Public Safety Coalition plans to deliver the letter to Mayor Gloria Partida and Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs at 1 p.m. Monday outside Davis City Hall.
“Many Davis community members have been re-thinking public safety after episodes of police brutality and a long-time lack of adequate services for mental health issues, drug use, and houselessness,” the letter says. “These issues have exacerbated racial disparities, which are particularly pronounced in Davis.”
