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 will bring back order to our streets by refocusing the city on core responsibilities like policing, sanitation, and by-law enforcement, while demanding provincial support for treatment, as well as federal bail reform to stop repeat offenders that victimize communities.
