This is on my Campaign Web Site:

The Crime Rate has been getting worse by the Day in Leon County. It will take time before you start to see a real difference if we act now. We do NOT need fewer Cops, we need more, a LOT MORE. They need more Training to deal with the Criminals today, such as Martial Arts and Hand To Hand Combat. We need to let it be known that there is ZERO TOLERANCE for Criminals, ZERO. No more Plea Deals and Reduced Charges just to close a Case. Harsher Penalties need to be given to Repeat & Violent Offenders. Harsher Penalties need to be given to Criminals who use ANY kind of Weapon, 10-20-LIFE needs to be used a lot more. There needs to be extra Penalties if the Suspect fights with the Officers or Runs from them and if property was damaged. The longer they are behind Bars, the lower the Crime Rate will fall. These are Criminals and should be treated as such because the Programs are not working. No Criminal should be coddled.

I was disappointed yesterday hearing TPD Chief Revell use and embrace the term “community policing”. The community’s crime problem will get a lot worse before a substative change occurs.

The DAILEY crime report… give that city manager more power, have security put their fingers on the trigger when citizens speak, but no plan to deal with the crime problem as it seems to be increasing, especially at City Hall, and it’s not the citizens who are speaking who are the problem.
