The Bay Area is nationally known as a safe community. Through innovative programs, community policing and civilian support, our streets, schools and neighborhoods are secure. Appropriate consequences and rehabilitation are implemented quickly and the cost of crime is very low.
Young people have a strong sense of belonging and crime is one of the lowest in the country.
All citizens, especially parents are held accountable and are actively involved in prevention and control. Our community, with a thriving economy, is a safe and desirable place to live. This vision can be achieved by empowering neighborhood associations, promoting and intervention strategies, developing active partnerships between government and citizens and offering positive opportunities for youth. Numerous committees and organizations in the past have generated reports and recommendations with essentially the same goals and visions that were developed through the Vision 2000 process. Of these reports, the T-CAP recommendations are closely aligned with the goals entrusted upon the Vision 2000 stakeholders.
