ATX Council Passes Two Resolutions to Increase Public Safety

The Austin City Council has taken a major step towards increasing public safety in the city. Today, two resolutions related to public safety were passed unanimously by the council. The first resolution reinstated the license plate reader program, which had been suspended earlier this year due to privacy concerns. This program will help law enforcement track down criminals and keep the streets safe for citizens. The second resolution passed was on human trafficking. This resolution seeks to combat the growing problem of human trafficking in Austin and its surrounding areas. It calls for increased funding for organizations that are working to combat this issue, as well as increased education and awareness programs about human trafficking in schools and communities across the city. The passage of these two resolutions is a major victory for public safety in Austin, and it is sure to have a positive impact on crime rates throughout the city.
