Kansas City, MO – A local council member is proposing a review of how the city handles non-emergency public safety concerns, aiming to improve response times and resident satisfaction.
Councilmember crispin Rea has put forth a proposal to examine the current system for receiving and addressing complaints from the public. This initiative comes in response to ongoing community discussions about safety and the effectiveness of existing reporting channels.
Currently, residents have two primary avenues for reporting non-emergency issues: the city’s 311 service, which can be accessed via phone or a dedicated mobile application. For urgent situations requiring immediate attention, the emergency number 911 remains the designated contact.
“Thoughts and prayers are great, but actions are most critically important, and that’s what we need to do on our end at the city,” Rea stated, emphasizing the need for tangible improvements in city services.
Community members like Sustaita continue to be vigilant, actively reporting potential safety issues they observe in their neighborhoods. “It’s my community, you know, my family goes into all thes different businesses here,” Sustaita commented.”I feel terrible for the, for the gentleman and whoever got hurt.It’s terrible. That’s someone’s loved one.” His sentiment reflects a broader concern within the community for the well-being of its residents and visitors.
