Safety marshals instead of police in tourist areas

The idea

have less police presence in high-traffic tourist areas, instead using techniques like having more public events with safety marshals that keep eyes on the street WITHOUT cop presence constantly.

Who it helps and why

police are not effective and their presence does not make black and brown people feel safe. creating a narrative that they are better for tourists is also a false equivalency because that assumes that tourists feel safer around police and this is often not the case in boston specifically.
