Top Priorities if Elected |
- We need to attack gang violence from all directions, including early intervention and detection of "at risk" youth before they enter into gangs.
- .We need to end the controversies dominating the Sheriff's Department and return a sense of fairness, dignity and respect to the Office of the Sheriff
- We need to consider consolidating law enforcement services throughout the County to increase effectiveness and save taxpayer dollars.

- END THE CHAOS AND CONTROVERSY IN THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
-
The ability of the Sheriff's Department to effectively provide public safety has been terribly damaged by in-fighting, bickering and unprofessional conduct at the management level.
- LET'S ANALYZE CONSOLIDATING LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES COUNTY-WIDE
-
In these harsh economic times, we need to seriously examine the possibilities of combining and consolidating our law enforcement efforts on a regional level.
- TIME TO HEAL COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS
-
We cannot afford to needlessly alienate Monterey County communities with poor community relations skills. We need to develop closer working relationships with our civil rights groups and neighborhoods.
