Mayor Katjana Ballantyne and Somerville’s Department of Racial and Social Justice (RSJ) invite community members to attend an event presenting the completed reports from the Public Safety for All Task Force, Civilian Oversight Task Force, and Anti-Violence Working Group on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 (rain date February 6) at Somerville High School (81 Highland Ave) at 6:30 p.m.

Each task force, comprised of residents, subject matter experts, and City Council members, will highlight their findings and recommendations aimed at enhancing public safety and fostering stronger community connections across Somerville.

“Ensuring public safety in Somerville means listening to our community, embracing transparency, and working collaboratively toward meaningful change,” said Mayor Ballantyne. “I encourage all residents to join us on February 4 to hear directly from the dedicated members of our task forces and working group. Their reports reflect months of thoughtful engagement, research, and a shared commitment to making Somerville safer and more equitable for all.”  

Reports will be available on Tuesday, January 28, at somervillema.gov/psfa, along with a form where community members can submit questions directly to Task Force/Working Group members ahead of the event.
