Buckner believes public safety is voters' first, second, and third priority this mayoral election.
"I'm a little bit nervous about where we are as a city," Buckner said.
That reconfiguration begins with beefing up detective ranks, but that would mean pulling patrol officers off the streets."Here's the deal. All of those vacancies don't have to be filled by officers, right? I've talked about civilianizing certain functions within the department," Buckner said. Buckner talks a lot about reallocation, including making sure the CTA is patrolled as part of Chicago police district beat patrols. When it comes to CTA safety, he also wants to connect all of the system's video cameras to a single headquarters, and create a text program for riders who spot trouble.
Buckner's plan also includes increasing mental health responders, and opening 20 new mental health clinics. "This is once again a opportunity to pick up money we've left on the table," Buckner said.
