Greensboro’s Public Safety Crisis: Time for Real Leadership
Greensboro started 2025 with four murders in the first week, and we’ve already seen 13 homicides by summer. With a 1 in 21 chance of becoming a crime victim and our Police Department operating 90 officers short, our public safety crisis has reached a breaking point. While other cities like Burlington offer competitive $55,000 starting salaries to attract top officers, Greensboro’s $46,000 wages are driving our trained police to leave for departments that actually value their service. The current City Council has had years to address this crisis, but instead of supporting our brave men and women in blue, they’ve presided over a steady decline in public safety while our citizens pay the price. It’s time for real leadership that understands what it takes to create an environment where law enforcement can thrive and our community can feel safe again.
