On May 9, 2024, the District 7 City Councilmember of San Antonio released a statement concerning two recent five signature memos. The Councilmember emphasized the importance of public safety and the need for thorough discussions on supporting first responders.
The Councilmember stated, “I signed on to this because I believe we deserve a full discussion in support of our first responders. Our residents’ top priority is public safety, and I’ve represented that priority since day one.”
The statement also underscored the necessity of such discussions to ensure effective responses from public safety officers. "This discussion is needed to ensure effectiveness, and guarantee we are taking care of those who take care of us. When our residents call 911, there needs to be an expectation that the best public safety officers in the country will respond," said the Councilmember.
The Councilmember further stressed that investing in public safety departments is a core function of city governance. “Investing in public safety is one of the core functions of our city and there is nothing more essential than investing in our police and fire departments. All we are asking for today is the opportunity to discuss this as a full City Council.”
