SafeCity- ABOUT US
SAFECITY has but one primary purpose - to make
MetroJackson a safe place to live for each and every citizen regardless of
where they live, what they do, or who they are. SAFECITY is a “new model”
for a healthy community that is truly grassroots and reflective of the
needs and concerns of common, everyday people.
SAFECITY has no opinion on outside issues; our focus is strictly on the
criminal justice system and its reform. We are associated with no other
organization, have no political affiliations, and have but one common
objective - to significantly and positively impact the quality of life in
MetroJackson.
The only requirement for SAFECITY membership is a desire to made
MetroJackson a safe place for all. To this end, we have a Code of Ethics
which governs who we are and how we work:
Principle Before Personality – Personal agendas can not, and will not be a
part of SAFECITY. Our sole reason for being is to make our communities
safer places to live with the quality of life that we deserve!
Principles Before Politics – We do not care what political party a public
official belongs to, or what their stance is on non-crime related issues.
If a public official wishes to productively and honestly deal with the
issue of crime, SAFECITY will be their best ally.
The Big Picture – We are focused on the “big picture” – the entire
statewide criminal justice system and all of the disparate entities which
comprised it. We will not become embroiled in any one entity to the
detriment of the entire system. Ours is a model to bring excellence and
accountability to the entire system, not just select parts of it.
Long Term Focus VS. Short Term Gain – We openly acknowledge that
developing solutions to the problems that plague our criminal justice
system are very long-term endeavors. To this end, professionalism, honesty
and integrity are critical to gaining the critical mass necessary to truly
achieve our goals. We will never take the quick way out when the longer,
harder road is the path needed to make real change.
