Isherwood on quashing gangs
I will stand up to gang violence. Working in Tulare County Juvenile Probation I am involved every day with this issue. As a father of two children, I am deeply concerned for public safety within our communities. Gang violence creates innocent victims and holds our communities hostage from living free and open. The current approach is not enough. Public awareness forums need to take place and involve all diverse areas of the community. In addition, open bed space in our jail facilities needs to be utilized. Time and time again repeat offenders are creating repeat crimes. These repeat gang offenders need to remain behind bars, and that is accomplished by having the staff to maintain our jail facilities. Further, sub stations need to be opened once again in rural county locations to provide a public safety presence throughout the whole county.
