Seems to be about infrastructure in neighborhoods. Street lights, trash removal, demolishing abandoned buildings.

“We now live in a country and a county where active shooter drills have become commonplace, where the funerals for police officers killed by assault weapons have become almost routine, where headlines of gun-related road rage incidents seem commonplace, where innocent children who’ve got their whole lives ahead of them are shot and killed and don’t have a chance to grow up,” Hidalgo said. “Where we’re standing here today is a graphic illustration of that challenge.”

"The Clean Streets, Safe Neighborhoods program is a research-based crime prevention and neighborhood safety program that uses data to target neighborhoods where decay and abandonment are a driving force behind gun violence."

No mention of keeping criminals in jail.
