The councilmembers, seen as critics of the Bhalla administration, offered a four-point plan that starts with immediate safety measures at Church Square Park.
to discuss ways to make city parks safer, a group of city council members are urging the city to take swift and decisive action.
The plan includes heavier police presence at all city parks and public spaces and more coordination with other law enforcement agencies that operate in the city such as Port Authority police and New Jersey Transit police. More police foot patrols, more lighting and the installation of temporary security cameras are among the solutions that can be implemented immediately at Church Square Park, the three say.
Police Chief Steven Aguiar said they would be increasing lighting and city officials say they hope to have new cameras at Church Square Park by year end, and that the city is always actively trying to fill its police ranks. Making residents feel safe in the parks and on the streets should be the city’s top priority, Fisher, Presinzano and Ramos say.
