I have been in law enforcement for almost 28 years and have seen firsthand the turmoil caused by so-called "police reform" in the last two years. The laws have made it easier for criminals to commit crimes and have done nothing to help law-abiding members of our communities. We need to bring balance to the laws and allow officers to do their jobs.
- With my career experience in law enforcement, I seek to bring balance back to our criminal justice laws. Recent “police reform” legislation has emboldened criminals and has made it harder for officers to do their jobs. Almost certainly, you or someone you know has experienced increased levels of crime in our communities. The lawlessness of open-air drug use, vandalism, burglary, theft, and violence has impacted our neighborhoods, our businesses, our schools, and our children.
- Progressives in our legislature have almost fully restricted police pursuits with a statewide, blanket prohibition that does not take into consideration many important facts. Rather than a blanket ban, our officers should be allowed to consider the facts and circumnutates at hand when the incident is unfolding before them. There might be times when an officer won’t pursue – if there is a nearby school in session or too much traffic or other situations that make a pursuit too risky. Conversely, there might be times when a pursuit is fully appropriate. Unfortunately, the current laws don’t allow for officers to consider the present facts. This must change. We must have balance that allows for reasonable pursuits.
- We must bring back accountability for hardcore drugs like methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin. The state legislature had opportunities to fix our drugs laws after the Blake Decision. They failed, thus allowing hardcore drugs to become de facto legal. Instead of adding the word “knowingly” to our laws and allowing officers to take enforcement actions, they changed the laws so that these drugs are now misdemeanors. They changed the laws so that officers are not allowed to take enforcement action until a person has received two separate instances of being given referrals to drug counseling – yet the legislators did not create a database for officers to track the referrals. Because hardcore drug users are no longer being held ac
Recent "police reform" laws are not balanced. Instead, the new laws have emboldened criminals and have done nothing to help law-abiding members of our communities. We must have balanced, common-sense approaches so officers can effectively do their jobs.
