Backing Law Enforcement
Officers and first responders need the funding, staffing, and training to do a hard job well. Departments across California are running short-handed, and the gap shows up in ways residents feel directly: slower response times, thinner patrols, and crews working mandatory overtime in the communities that already wait longest for help.
We support candidates and measures that fund public safety properly. That means competitive pay that keeps experienced officers on the job, current training in de-escalation and crisis response, and the equipment crews need when they answer a call. Backing law enforcement and expecting professionalism from it are the same commitment, not competing ones.
