Councilperson Ball works to create a safe and secure community through several initiatives including improved neighborhood lighting, appropriate traffic calming devices, and enhanced community policing. His passion and dedication to safety also translates in his desire to create more walkable, pedestrian friendly communities. He continues to advocate for safer neighborhoods for our families, friends and most importantly our children.
As a former firefighter, Calvin understands the importance of first-responders. He has advocated and supported funding to increase our police force, emergency personnel and firefighters on our streets, as their increased presence not only decreases crime but also saves lives. In addition, he supports initiatives that provide our emergency personnel with the opportunity to receive the training, equipment and support needed to protect and serve our community as this is of utmost importance. Whether advocating for increased bike patrol presence, anti-gang efforts, a new Domestic Violence Unit, or improving response time for first responders to emergency situations, Calvin knows these efforts save lives and will continue to work hard for each of our neighborhoods to make safety a top priority.
