Dear Senators,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to share an idea that I believe could significantly contribute to preventing all mass shootings and other forms of violence, including suicides, in our society.

I propose that everyone be a partial public safety officer, responsible for themselves and others. This approach fosters inclusion, prevents loneliness and isolation, and reduces negative behaviors. By equipping each person with a spatial science tool called a location-enabled integrated device (We-Me), we can collect data and solve problems collaboratively. This initiative would enhance mutual respect and provide a sense of self-importance and community connectivity.

This system would elevate the role of public safety officers to be on par with police officers, promoting mutual respect and cooperation. The integrated device would serve as a data collector and problem solver, and participants would be rewarded for their positive contributions. This holistic approach would prevent crimes, mass shootings, suicides, and other forms of violence, ultimately saving lives and reducing suffering.

This idea has the potential to create a safer and more connected society. I look forward to your thoughts on this proposal and hope we can work together to make it a reality.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Richard Thomas Simmons
