SUPPORT FIRST RESPONDERS IN GREAT FALLS

Now is the time. It's been more than 50 years since Great Falls voters have passed public safety funding.

Since then (1969), the city has grown by 44% and fire and emergency medical calls have increased by 700%, straining public safety systems and compromising the safety of Great Falls citizens in an emergency situation. 

41% of the City of Great Falls is now facing emergency response times beyond 4 minutes, the national standard.

50% of the time, more than one fire and medical emergency occurs simultaneously, but city emergency services can only respond to one call at a time right now. 

This levy will fund: 

• 32 firefighters,

• 24 police officers including 2 more school resource officers,

• 8 new court and legal positions to help our overloaded court and legal systems, 

• 2 additional 911 dispatchers, 

• and new equipment and training to keep our first responders efficient, effective, and safe.
