While crime is trending downward, many families still don’t feel safe — and that matters. Too many residents still hesitate to walk our streets at night. Safety is not just about statistics — it’s about trust, visibility, and peace of mind. I will make public safety a top priority by advocating for full staffing, strong resources, and community-focused policing. My goal is simple: a Norfolk where every neighborhood feels safe, and every resident can move freely through our city with confidence and peace of mind.
