Criminal Justice / Public Safety Community Partnerships – Assigning deputies to smaller geographic zones so they can build relationships, understand local concerns, and become part of the community they serve. Criminal Justice / Public Safety The addition of K9 units has strengthened our ability to identify and apprehend those involved in the drug trade, targeting both supply and demand. My vision is to expand this with a specialized unit focused on habitual offenders and criminal networks that create the most harm in our community. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Regular Community Meetings – Public forums with myself and zone deputies will improve transparency, foster trust, and ensure accountability. Criminal Justice / Public Safety While incarceration protects the public, punishes offenders, and serves justice, rehabilitation has been neglected for decades. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Increased Public Interaction – Deputies will spend more time engaging directly with residents, learning about their concerns, and addressing issues that matter most to them. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Decentralized Decision-Making – Deputies will have the authority to create and implement strategies for their zones using proven problem-solving models like the Crime Triangle and SARA model.
