What Should Kelowna Prioritize to Improve Business and Community Safety?
Official title: Community Safety Business Engagement
Kelowna is asking businesses and residents which safety actions matter most. The city wants to tackle property crime and social disorder in affected neighbourhoods. You can weigh in on what uniformed resources should focus on and what else the city should consider.
Why This Matters
Own a business downtown? Walk through certain neighbourhoods? This is your chance to tell the city what's actually happening on the ground. Property crime and disorder affect shop owners, employees, and anyone who uses public spaces. Your input shapes where the city focuses its safety efforts.
What Could Change
The city could shift where uniformed officers patrol and what issues they prioritize. New crime prevention programs might target specific neighbourhoods. Resources could be redirected based on what businesses and residents say they need most.
Key Issues
- Which safety actions should the City prioritize within its scope?
