Addressing public safety in South Philadelphia takes an all-hands-on-deck approach
Public safety is deemed one of the city’s most pressing issues, and, according to First District’s City Council Mark Squilla, the Parker Administration has focused heavily on it.
In July 2024, the City of Philadelphia officially established a new Office of Public Safety. Upon its launch, the Office was awarded grants by the federal government for initiatives relating to community violence intervention, juvenile justice, housing, and debt relief for justice-involved Philadelphians.
