Chief Buckner offered an inspirational speech to 3 Chief Buckner offered an inspirational speech to 35 new @syracusepolice recruits and their families during a swear-in ceremony today. He brazenly shared what lies ahead but more importantly what they can accomplish together when they make it to graduation day. The group includes candidates from South Sudan, Germany, Mexico and Nigeria, making it one of the most diverse classes to date. As SPD prepares future public servants to provide quality public safety, it is important that we all remember what it means to make the choice to put on an SPD uniform.

WORKING TOGETHER WINS At the 2019 State of the Cit WORKING TOGETHER WINS At the 2019 State of the City, Mayor Walsh announced the #SyracuseSurge, our strategy for inclusive growth in the New Economy. At the center of the Syracuse Surge is the creation of the Southside Campus for the New Economy on the southern edge of downtown Syracuse, a campus for technology workforce development and the location of a ground breaking regional Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math school in the grand but vacant Central Tech High School. When we work together and believe we can, it’s amazing what can be accomplished. We thank the Syracuse Common Council; our local, state and federal government partners; our region’s non-profit and business institutions; our dedicated City employees; and, most important, the people of Syracuse.

JPMORGAN CHASE SELECTS SYRACUSE Nearly 250 cities JPMORGAN CHASE SELECTS SYRACUSE Nearly 250 cities applied. Only five were selected, and Syracuse was one of them. In a major vote of confidence in the #SyracuseSurge, JPMorgan Chase awarded Syracuse a $3 million AdvancingCities grant in April. Our City was selected for its “we can” attitude: the global bank said Syracuse successfully outlined local coalitions of elected, business and nonprofit leaders working together to address major social and economic challenges, such as employment barriers, financial insecurity, and neighborhood disinvestment. When we work together and believe we can, it’s amazing what can be accomplished. We thank the Syracuse Common Council; our local, state and federal government partners; our region’s non-profit and business institutions; our dedicated City employees; and, most important, the people of Syracuse.
