*Protective gear to include items such as bullet proof vests, body armor, helmets, shields and other protective equipment
*Community outreach programs to include events and initiatives to build better relationships
*Youth programs, activities and mentorship
*Technological upgrades that increase safety and effective policing
*Emergency equipment that may include defibrillators, medical kits, Narcan and other life-saving tools
*Officer mental health/wellness support that could include counseling services, wellness programs and employee assistance fund
*Education scholarships for officers
