Ineffective Justice System?

We the People.

What stands in our way?
• City Standards: Broken crime prevention system
• No continuity among government, community leaders, and citizens
• Other obstacles: neighborhood codes of honor, slow response time to emergencies
Let’s make a difference.

It starts at home.
