Criminal Justice

Making Our City Safer

  • Our citizens deserve a safe community and the ability to live without fear of crime.
    ACTION: Since I joined the council, the police department has added officers and is now at full staffing.

  • While jail is not the answer to all of the city's problems, the capacity available in the new jail can and has reduced crime by keeping repeat criminals off the streets.
    ACTION: The council provided a substantial increase in jail funding for 2007, allowing the city to afford to incarcerate more of the most dangerous offenders.
