The dramatic rise in violent crime is one of the most talked about issues amongst Californians. Law enforcement agencies across the state are fighting an uphill battle as they advocate for funding to protect our communities. In the last year alone, homicides increased by over 30%, aggravated assaults rose by nearly 10%, and assaults with a firearm saw an almost 40% increase. Law enforcement must be fully funded and supporting the men and women in uniform who protect and serve our communities must be prioritized!
