Position Papers
HOMICIDE/VIOLENT CRIME UNIT
In 2011, the homicide unit was disbanded to "spread serious cases out for training purposes." I will reinstitute this important unit as serious crime deserves serious attention. I will also release statistics on how we are performing on these cases.
REFORM THE OFFICE INVOLVED SHOOTING PROTOCOL
It is time for independent review and investigation into officer involved shootings. I will lead the way in actually reforming the protocol and working in conjunction with any citizen review board that is established. I will release the ultimate report to the public on every officer involved death.
STOP WASTING RESOURCES ON LOW LEVEL MARIJUANA CASES
I will provide clear direction, standards and policies so that we stop wasting valuable resources in prosecuting low level marijuana cases. I will track and release statistics so that the public knows what we are prosecuting.
