Criminal Justice / Public Safety One of my top goals is to push harder than ever to give our city employees the raise they deserve – and that extends beyond just our first responders. No amount of money could ever fully compensate them for the sacrifices they make, but we owe it to them to explore every possible avenue to improve their careers and quality of life here in Moody. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Public safety will always be a top priority – not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because a safer Moody benefits every single person who lives, works, and raises a family here.
