Public Safety

As a father of three young kids, Mayor Yemi Mobolade knows that safety for our families and neighborhoods is not a policy priority — it is personal. That is why he has made it his first order of business since day one, hiring nearly 300 new police officers to bring the force to a record 800 strong, driving homicides down 20 percent, and putting cutting-edge tools in the hands of the people who keep Colorado Springs safe.
