Public safety key performance indicators (KPIs) should reflect a community's health and equity, rather than authoritarian measures like ticketing and arrest quotas, which harm marginalized populations.
True public safety focuses on meaningful KPIs such as reduced emergency room visits, lower traffic fatalities, access to mental health resources, and community trust in institutions.
Overemphasis on punitive indicators leads to corruption and diverts resources from preventative measures like public health programs and community investment, perpetuating cycles of harm.
A society that prioritizes equitable, health-centered KPIs fosters resilience and reduces crime through systemic support, dismantling authoritarian practices in favor of justice for all.
