When Safety Becomes a Luxury We Can’t Afford

In Greensboro, safety should never feel like a luxury—it should be part of everyday life. Families deserve neighborhoods where children can play freely, where parents can relax over a backyard cookout with friends, and where trust in our police is built on presence and partnership. When communities feel safe, they thrive. Strong relationships between neighbors and law enforcement, combined with consistent attention to public safety, create the kind of environment where families want to stay, grow, and invest in their future.
