CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM
We need a justice system that not only protects our public safety, but is also efficient, effective, and equitable. As your county commissioner, I seek to:
Enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the criminal justice system.
Develop a fair and just bail system.
Improve data collection to ensure resources efficiently allocated to areas of greatest need.
Increase transparency and ethics within our criminal and family court system.
Focus on law enforcement approaches informed by best practices for serving people impacted by mental illness, addiction, homelessness, poverty, and trauma.
Community-based pre-trial justice solutions while prioritizing safety and offender accountability.
Support people who are incarcerated and those re-entering the community from incarceration.
Offer trauma-informed support for victims of crime, including domestic violence and sexual assault.
