Safety for All
What’s Gone Wrong
Public safety has been deteriorating in Vancouver for decades. Successive mayors have offered slogans, not solutions, and failed to deliver results. Now public trust is down, and residents feel that their safety is at risk.
The TEAM Difference
TEAM's public safety and recovery plan, Restoring Order to Our City, will restore order, strengthen neighbourhood policing, protect people from violence, and replace the failed management of addiction with a recovery-oriented
approach.
Our Solutions

3
Preventing Crime and Drug Use
Work with the police and the province to prioritize crime prevention, protecting residents and businesses from petty crime and vandalism, and enforcing laws against public drug use.
4
Supporting Community Policing Initiatives
Increase support for community policing initiatives such as Block Watch.
5
Ensure that People Get Care
Work with the Province to ensure that people with complex needs get care, including voluntary and involuntary care beds, transition services, and supports for long term solutions
