“Providing our fire and law enforcement officials with the up-to-date training, equipment and technology they need to perform their jobs, is part of our “global perspective.” Because we are a border community we need to be concerned with safety on both sides of the border For example, providing our Police Department with an e-tag system, an electronic log where vehicles and pertinent information would have its sale data logged on-line, would be help to our Police Department. This would allow our law enforcement agency curb car theft and the use of a vehicle without liability insurance and more. Our fire department would also benefit greatly from an Emergency Operations Center since our city is approximately 150 miles away from any other community that has the capability to assist us in an emergency. These are just some of the global perspectives we need to take into account. I ask for your support for the items under public safety.”
