Let @JohnTory know Toronto needs balance in community safety budgets. His plan, w/ $48 million for policing & no funds for expanding highly successful mental health pilots is more expensive & less effective #topoli #Police Wrtie to the Mayor now at bit.ly/BalanceSafety
Trying to avoid the scrutiny of residents who would be shocked by how much of their taxes goes into paying cops.

Thanks @BravoDavenport for asking one of the big questions of the budget - why not invest more in services that support people in crisis? If there is $48M for enforcement, why only $9M for shelter, $1M to cover shortfall on the CURRENT non-police crisis response pilots #TOpoli
Good point @ChrisMoiseTO Until recently, the City reported the Police budget as a stand-alone item, as it's the single largest cost. Now it's rolled ups with other public safety costs like Fire and EMS - why the change? #TOpoli
Kudos to @DianneSaxe for tough questions about public safety budget. Where are we on @TorontoAuditor report saying non-police response is better for people in crisis & cheaper overall? torontoauditor.ca/report/review-… Why spend $48M on police rather than expanding crisis response? #TOpoli

We’re so excited about the progress made so far! Yesterday, #Toronto’s City Council voted unanimously in favour of launching this #mentalhealth crisis response pilot. Thank yous to all of our many volunteers, donors, and supporters — we couldn’t have pushed for this without you!
Amazing to see this progress made from our friends over at @reachout_to, @mobilecrisisnrd @asanteV 👏👏👏 This is such an important step in de-stigmatizing those suffering from #mentalillness & meeting them with support and care instead of force
