Safety Team
Our downtown Safety Ambassadors are on the ground seven days a week in six downtown neighborhoods assisting visitors, residents, workers and homeless individuals. From providing directions to out-of-towners, to aiding downtown’s unsheltered population, this dedicated team helps keep downtown safe, welcoming and livable.
The MID-funded Safety Team provides the following services:
- Customer service and wayfinding
- Transit information
- Safety escorts
- Referrals to human services
- Coordination to clean debris from sidewalks
- Public safety information and crime prevention through environmental design services for ratepayers

Ambassador Shout Out
A big thanks to all ambassadors who have braved a very wet winter to provide service in our parks, public spaces and to residents, employees, visitors and people in need downtown.
