CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA ANNUAL FINANCIAL PLAN FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 PUBLIC SAFETY Last year, the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded to more than 9,000 calls a month. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded to approximately 4,000 calls a day. Clearly, public safety is big business – and just as clearly, that “business” is the core responsibility of government. Duval County residents count on emergency responders to answer their calls and to protect lives and property. And it is vitally important that our public safety agencies have the personnel, training and equipment to meet the challenges they face every day. This year’s budget supports these resources. In fact, one-fourth of the city’s overall budget has been allocated to the Sheriff’s Office and Fire and Rescue Department in FY 2006-07. But responding to violence and the unexpected is just part of the public safety picture. Jacksonville’s budget also funds important homeland security and emergency preparedness initiatives. Jacksonville recently distinguished itself by becoming the first local government in the nation to receive Emergency Management Accreditation. As our city grows, so will government’s challenge of ensuring public safety. That’s why it’s important to envision the long term and invest in programs that will help to prevent crime in the future. Mayor John Peyton believes that jobs, education and neighborhoods with a sense of community are the real answers to preventing crime and ultimately enhancing the quality of life for everyone in Jacksonville. He has invested in those priorities through the Seeds of Change: Growing Great Neighborhoods initiative. This partnership with citizens is aimed at enhancing neighborhoods, increasing home ownership, eliminating environ- ments that harbor crime and providing after school, summer camp and employment opportunities for young people. Another mayoral priority that will reduce crime and enhance future prosperity is RALLY Jacksonville!, the mayor’s early literacy initiative, now entering its third year. Early literacy is directly related to success in school, graduation, career and higher-earning potential, so this nationally-acclaimed program is a critical link to ensuring both individual success and long-term regional economic prosperity.
