Mission Awarded Grant for Emergency Towers to Boost Park Safety

Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant to Fund Direct Emergency Communication Systems in City Parks

The City of Mission has been awarded a grant through the Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative to enhance public safety in local parks. The funding will be used to install solar-powered emergency towers, equipped with direct-call telephones that connect instantly with emergency dispatchers.

These towers are designed to provide immediate access to help in case of emergencies, especially in areas with limited mobile service.

“Safety is our first priority for our community, especially for our young individuals at our parks. We want to reassure our parents, families, and the community that we’re here for them,” said a city spokesperson during the announcement.

Towers to Be Operational by Summer

The new emergency infrastructure is expected to be operational by summer, with installation planned across multiple public parks throughout Mission.

Each tower will feature:

• Solar-powered operation for sustainability
• 24/7 direct line to emergency services
• Visibility and accessibility for all park visitors

Enhancing Security and Community Trust

The city says this initiative aims to provide an extra layer of protection for families and individuals using public spaces, particularly as parks become busier during warmer months.

The project also reinforces Mission’s commitment to investing in safer, more secure neighborhoods for residents and visitors alike.
