We expanded our ambassador services to add a Safety Team to address non-emergency, quality of life issues. Safety Team members conduct early morning patrols around all downtown hotels. They request voluntary compliance from those violating city ordinances and provide connections to resources as needed. The program includes bike patrols and overnight security in Republic Square. The Safety Team can be identified with a distinctive fluorescent yellow and black uniform. In the first month of the program, the Safety Team had 601 interactions with people violating ordinances. These interactions had an 81% voluntary compliance rate – meaning 490 interactions resulted in people complying with the Safety Team’s requests.
