The layoffs are off the table. We won because you refused to back down.

I wish to convey my opposition to the proposed police layoffs in hopes of achieving results that will better serve the residents, businesses, and guests of Jersey City.
Mayor Jerramiah Healy credited the crime decrease between 2008 and 2009 to the “ongoing efforts of the Jersey City Police Department” and said it will persist into the future as long as he is mayor. As stewards of Jersey City, reducing the police force is negating on this promise and puts the safety and reputation of Jersey City at risk, which is a consequence that is unacceptable.
I implore this administration to reconsider laying off police officers and explore other options that will not compromise the safety and security of Jersey City.

Getting very close to 250 signatures. Keep the momentum going to ensure the administration listens.

The feedback from residents remains loud and clear. We are currently scouting alternative budget solutions to present to the administration.

Keep our officers employed. They do a tough job and we rely on them to keep our families safe when things go sideways.
Mayor needs to figure something else out. Cutting the force is a huge mistake for our city.
why would you cut police when crime is still a real problem here? makes no sense.
Ridiculous idea. My block already feels sketchy at night. Take the money from somewhere else!!
Jersey City is getting dangerous enough as it is. We need more cops on the street not less. This is just asking for trouble.

Safety should be the priority. Stop the layoffs now.
