3. Public Safety Enhancements

Public safety remains a cornerstone of Mayor Goins’ leadership. Under his administration just this year alone eight new police officers were hired, bolstering the Alton Police Department’s ability to protect the community. All officers are now equipped with body-worn cameras, enhancing accountability and transparency, while advanced technologies further support public safety initiatives. These efforts have led to a notable decrease in crimes such as robbery, burglary, and theft. Moving forward, Mayor Goins is committed to addressing youth violence through initiatives like the Summer Employment Program and expanded Parks and Recreation activities along with working to become a Child Friendly City through a partnership with UNICEF.
