Christian on quashing gangs
Coming from Law Enforcement, I know first-hand just how serious this problem really is. I live here too. I have a wife and we’re raising three of our granddaughters. We want to feel safe just like you do.
During the last few weeks I have had the opportunity to attend two Gang Summits. One in Exeter and one in the Cutler-Orosi area. While these are two distinctly different communities I saw the same questions and concern on peoples faces. How do we protect our children, ourselves and our communities.
At these summits I watched as Law Enforcement, Civic Leaders, Clergy and Judicial representatives described what is being done to confront the gang issue. One common theme emerged throughout both meetings. It cannot be done alone. In order to take back our neighborhoods we must use every resource at our disposal…. and our biggest resource is each other.
As a member of the Board of Supervisors I will not just support the fight against gangs with a vote. I intend to play an active role in providing Law Enforcement with the tools necessary to get the job done.
