GUN VIOLENCE EMERGENCY

Gun violence in Philadelphia has to be viewed as a dramatic incident that greatly affects all Philadelphian's lives. When viewed from that frame   of reference, it is obvious that a Local Incident Management System (LIMS) must be put in place to address the current crisis plaguing our city.

 

As Mayor, on day one, I will appoint a Deputy Mayor/Commissioner of Public Safety who will coordinate and operate the Local Incident Management System (LIMS) Program in every part of the City that needs it.
