ATLANTIC
CITY – The Christie Administration announced
today that new partnerships and initiatives
are leading to a cleaner and safer Atlantic
City by providing a greater police presence,
expanding the use of cutting-edge law enforcement
technologies, and aggressively targeting quality-of-life
issues.
The
partnerships, devised under Governor Christie’s
“Clean & Safe” initiative,
involve state and county law enforcement
agencies, as well as the casinos, working
closely with the lead agency, the Atlantic
City Police Department, to improve safety
and security within the Tourism District
and beyond. Attorney General Jeffrey S.
Chiesa made the announcement at Boardwalk
Hall with representatives of the law enforcement
agencies, the Casino Reinvestment Development
Authority, the Special Improvement District,
the casino industry, and other key partners.
“Turning
around Atlantic City’s gaming and
tourism economy and developing it into a
premier destination resort continues to
be a vital commitment of this Administration,”
said Governor Christie. "While the
new Revel Casino and Hotel may be the most
visible good news, there are so many other
signs of significant progress occurring
all around the Tourism District. The most
tangible evidence is the collaboration and
partnership of all stakeholders working
side-by-side to help Atlantic City become
the clean, safe and exciting tourism destination
we’ve envisioned for our state.”
"A
clean and safe Atlantic City is the key
to an economic turnaround in the region.
Through unprecedented teamwork involving
the police department, the casinos, and
other public and private partners, we are
producing results that people can see and
feel," said Attorney General Chiesa.
"Our efforts to increase police presence,
promote security using technology, and address
quality-of-life issues are producing a welcoming
environment where safety is the watchword."
