PUBLIC SAFETY

We are fortunate to be served by the men and women in the Burbank Fire Department and the Burbank Police Department. These dedicated public servants leave their families and go to work each day to ensure that our community remains safe.  They put their lives on the line, if necessary, to safeguard our personal safety and well-being.

It’s critical that our firefighters and peace officers be provided with the training and equipment required to do their jobs safely and return home to their families each night. The looming financial crisis will impose new challenges on our local government. If elected to the Burbank City Council, I would work with my colleagues to develop realistic city budget priorities that protect our emergency personnel and provide our first responders with the tools they need to keep us safe.

Additionally, we all know Burbank is not immune to any number of natural disasters that pose a risk to our way of life. We have all witnessed the increase in wildfires that have plagued Southern California over the last few years. COVID-19 has further exposed our lack of preparedness for disasters that directly affect the supply chain, such as a pandemic or for our next natural disaster. 

As your elected representative on the Burbank City Council, I will work with our local and state partners, both public and private, to prepare for the next disaster by ensuring that our community and employers have access to an adequate stockpile for emergency medical supplies and resources to help our entire community.
