Salt Lake City unveiled a new public safety plan to address crime and homelessness. Initiatives would increase the police footprint, target gang activity and enhance affordable housing and emergency shelters. The plan emerged in response to demands from state Republican leaders who say the city is neglecting public safety.

When it comes to Salt Lake City's biggest change in over three decades, residents won't be wrong to recall the line Bill Murray shared in the hit movie "Ghostbusters."

Mayor Erin Mendehall said the Southern California fires will help the Utah capital city reshape the way it calculates readiness for disasters.
