Full Report on www.stokeyforbmore.com Under the People's Plan, Mr. Cannady will: 1 Pilot a state-of-the-art Emergency Management Agency to prevent, protect and respond to critical emergencies. This program will build and sustain an infrastructure to support citizens, law enforce- ment and first responders. 2Implement the following policies, creating a culture of police accountability that both, improves the quality of the policing and provides the necessary financial oversight for an effective and efficient BPD that is holistically supporte to enact high quality policing with criteria established by citizens. 3 Implement the following support to the larger "public safety" sector to ensurethat convictions are able to be made, keeping the repeat, violent offenders off the streets and community members safe. 4 Deploy a quality police recruitment process with a focus on reassessing BPD hiring policies and criteria, local recruitment, and partnering with BCPSS to develop a "Public Safety" trade track, or similar programming; with a goal of growing the next generation of World Class public safety. 5 Implement Procedural Justice in line with the consent decree goals and Cultural and Baltimore competency training. 6 Develop a network of community leaders tasked with stabilizing the "street culture" of Baltimore City, ushering in a new standard. 7 Upgrade and Invest in Police equipment to support enhanced missions and detect critical operations. In order to ensure that public safety officials are able to conduct operations with efficiency and effectiveness, BPD will need an assessment of the IT systems along with other 21st century equipment to assist in addressing the crimes committed. 8 Implement a culture of Police Accountability to community within the BCPD. 9 Develop and support community-led diversion programs for youth in order to prevent/decrease the likelihood of unhealthy behaviors through the carrot- and-stick approach, which includes an increase in funding for schools, increased resourcing for community organizations, community development organizations, and other agencies, with a focus on those that take teens and young adults off the streets by recreational, educational, entrepreneurial, and job placement programs. 10 Invest additional resources into community-led solutions to violence with both short term and long-term effect on the community such as Safe Streets and the Baltimore Ceasefire. Through community policing we will reduce crime rates and innovate the Group Violence Strategy, focused on violent crimes and firearm-related homicides. THE PEOPLE'S PLAN
