There is an unprecedented increase in crime rates throughout California. The passage of legislation that minimizes the price to be paid by perpetrators, has emboldened those very people to push the limits even further. The current policies have no real meaning if there is no penalty to pay. The rise of theft, robberies, property damage crimes, and human trafficking is destroying our society. When the criminal has no fear, then the criminal has no limits to the evil. This is unacceptable.
As governor, I will roll back these horrible policies and make each crime punishable. I will empower our law enforcement agencies to apprehend these perpetrators who have complete disregard for the people of California. I will see to it that funding is adequate for law enforcement and all first responder agencies. This is not a money issue, this is a public safety issue. The people of California are guaranteed this right by the California State Constitution.
