I believe this would fall under the calls for declaring a state of emergency, to allow for better coordination of city departments. Rhynhart and Domb both called for a state of emergency.

Domb's call was focused on Kensington and drug issues:

> I still believe this should be declared an emergency in Kensington. The problems of Kensington shouldn’t rest on the shoulders of Philadelphia — 50-60% of the people who are on the street in Kensington right now are not from Philadelphia. We need federal and state help. It has to be a multi-jurisdictional approach that starts with getting people the treatment they need, and taking the drug dealers out of Philadelphia.

Rhynhart's was focused on violent crime: > The current administration hasn’t even declared a crime emergency, which would activate the emergency operations center, bringing together every department in the city.
