Investing in Safety: The Facts About the Millage Renewal

In this special episode, we’re taking you inside a powerful community conversation held at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church — where Sheriff Susan Hutson and members of our leadership team spoke directly with residents about the Safe and Strong Communities Millage Renewal.This millage is not a new tax. It’s a renewal that will appear on the May 3, 2025 ballot as Proposition 1, and it helps fund more than 20% of OPSO’s budget — supporting public safety operations, staffing, emergency response, and rehabilitation programs that make our city stronger and safer.This episode is about transparency, community, and making sure you have the facts before heading to the polls.
