Soraya Martinez Ferrada<\/em>, Leader of Ensemble Montr\u00e9al and candidate for Mayor of the metropolis, presented on Tuesday a series of major commitments on public safety \u2014 several of which directly concern Montr\u00e9al\u2019s downtown core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes at a time when the sense of safety in Montr\u00e9al is at its lowest point in years. Recent surveys show that one in four residents no longer feels safe downtown<\/strong>, and nearly half of business owners face conflictual situations every month<\/strong>.
In addition, close to 74% of downtown workers believe safety has deteriorated in public transit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensemble Montr\u00e9al therefore intends to implement measures that will help Montrealers feel safe again in their city \u2014 while providing better support for police officers who are increasingly overextended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Safety Commitments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To achieve this, an administration led by Ensemble Montr\u00e9al would focus on these key measures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Create local safety monitoring committees<\/strong> bringing together police officers, community organizations, and local leaders.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Equip police officers with body cameras<\/strong>, in collaboration with the Government of Qu\u00e9bec.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Install cameras in public spaces<\/strong>, in partnership with the SPVM, to determine appropriate locations.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Establish a voluntary Montr\u00e9al registry of private surveillance cameras.<\/strong>
    <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Double the number of multidisciplinary teams<\/strong> \u2014 composed of police officers and social workers \u2014 active in the field.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Hire special constables<\/strong>, up to a total of 230<\/strong>, to ensure adequate coverage throughout the STM network.
    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Ensemble Montr\u00e9al would also introduce several measures to better equip Montr\u00e9al\u2019s Fire Safety Service:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Prioritize firefighters\u2019 health and safety<\/strong> by ensuring access to clean, well-maintained equipment, with an investment of $12.5 million in 2026<\/strong>, followed by $3 million annually<\/strong> thereafter.
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Resolve inventory shortages<\/strong> to ensure every firefighter has the right equipment at the right time.
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Modernize vehicles and equipment<\/strong> to reduce response times and save lives, through investments totaling $110 million by 2029.<\/strong>
      <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      These measures build upon Ensemble Montr\u00e9al\u2019s previously announced commitments \u2014 including strengthening SPVM units dedicated to monitoring social media activity and developing local public safety teams in every neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cIt\u2019s time for a municipal administration to restore a true sense of safety across our metropolis. We can only achieve this by working together \u2014 responsibility is everyone\u2019s business.\u201d
      \u2014 Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Leader of Ensemble Montr\u00e9al and candidate for Mayor of Montr\u00e9al<\/em><\/strong>

      \u201cOur firefighters and police officers work every day to keep us safe, often in challenging conditions. Their role is essential, and it is our duty to provide them with the tools and support they need to fulfill their mission.\u201d
      \u2014 Gabriel Retta, Ensemble Montr\u00e9al spokesperson for public safety and candidate for City Councillor in Saint-L\u00e9onard\u2013Ouest<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
