On Wednesday, Chief Chuck Lovell said that gun violence prevention was a \u201ccomplex issue\u201d and that in order to combat the recent surge in reported incidents, the police department would need more support.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal was adopted unanimously by the city council early Wednesday and allocates $6 million to promote a \u201cholistic approach to community safety.\u201d While organizations like the park ranger program are slated to receive funds, Lovell pointed out that the police department would get nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe welcome any resources that are going to help, long and short term, to address this in our community,\u201d stated the police chief. \u201cWe continue to field our enhanced community safety team and our homicide detectives, and our investigative resources are working hard to bend the curve on gun violence in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A lot of factors contribute to police call time response. Our officers want to get to emergency calls as quickly as possible and we need your help.
