Community Safety & Hospitality Team
Our Community Safety & Hospitality ambassadors are on the ground seven days a week in six downtown neighborhoods assisting visitors, residents, workers and those in need. From providing directions to out-of-towners and supporting parks and public spaces to keeping an eye on clutter, this dedicated team helps keep downtown safe, welcoming and livable.
The MID-funded team provides the following services:
- Customer service and wayfinding
- Transit information
- SafeWalk service
- Referrals to human services
- Public safety information and crime prevention information
- Welfare checks
- Support with Conditions of Entry and Sit/Lie violations
