Issue Position: Public Safety

Issue Position

Crime is a factor of poverty and desperation. If we truly want to reduce crime we need to work on our educational system, access to housing, and jobs which pay a living wage.

We also need to improve relationships between law enforcement and disenfranchised communities.

I think it is a good idea to mandate regular rotating shifts where police officers are out of their cars walking or cycling a beat and interacting with the community on a more personal level.
