COVENANT ACTION PLAN · JACKSONVILLE 2027–2031
Community Safety
Prevention, trained first responders, constitutional enforcement, infrastructure and neighborhood trust.
What the plan would do
This proposal begins with public facts, neighborhood input and the legal authority of each responsible agency. The mayor can recommend, coordinate, budget and administer within the office’s authority, while many major actions require City Council, independent authorities, the School Board, private partners or other public approvals.
- Focus resources on violence and repeat serious crime
- Support equipment, retention and professional training
- Improve lighting, dangerous intersections and emergency access
- Publish response and prevention measures with appropriate privacy safeguards
Where proposed construction belongs
This plan does not propose another new riverfront building. Any new campaign construction concept described here would be studied for a suitable Westside or Northside site. Existing buildings in other parts of Jacksonville may still be repaired, maintained or reused without being presented as new riverfront construction.
How residents will measure delivery
Before asking for credit, the administration would publish a baseline, named responsibility, proposed funding source, approval path, milestones and an honest status. Quarterly reporting would show what moved, what stalled, what changed and why.
Campaign proposal only. Construction, reuse, funding and operations require feasibility review, lawful approvals and public accountability. Political advertisement paid for and approved by Fitz Desprez, Republican, for Mayor.
