We must solve our public safety crisis and expand the (PAD) Policing Alternatives & Diversion Initiative to reduce the incarceration of people who need supportive services, like professional mental health support.

I will prioritize investing in Youth Violence Prevention Centers and working to strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and private citizens through neighborhood-based initiatives and a focus on community policing. I will look at pragmatic evaluation of our law enforcement policies, addressing biases and disparities in policing, while moving resources to the programs that need them the most.
