Public Safety
I am grateful to the brave law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to serve our communities. Unfortunately, many local departments are often working on strained budgets and lack the necessary equipment needed to adequately protect our neighborhoods.
As your Representative, I am taking strides to invest more into local law enforcement agencies to support their training needs, help them better retain and recruit officers, and build better relationships with the communities they serve.
