Vicki Nohrden has spent 25 years as a family advocate and community leader. Her public service has included classrooms, front rooms, boardrooms, and courtrooms throughout our region.
We have seen crime rise in our neighborhoods, on our school campuses, and in local businesses and it is affecting the quality of life.
We cannot back down. We need to support our law enforcement. The people who protect and serve our communities deserve our respect and support.
I support funding our police and hiring more officers to keep our neighborhoods, school campuses, shopping malls, workplaces, and community streets safe.
Reforming Prop 47 (The Safe neighborhoods and School Act) passed by voters in 2014 reduced the threshold for stealing penalties from $500.00 to $950.00. If the criminal is caught officers write a citation, release them on the no-bail policy, and their back at it again.
Now is the time to reform these soft-on-crime policies.
