Every Californian deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood, their school, and their workplace. But crime, gangs, fentanyl, and retail theft have made too many of our communities unsafe. I will back our police, hold criminals accountable, and put victims first.

1. Confront Gangs:
   • Target violent gangs and their leaders, and give law enforcement the tools to dismantle gang networks.
   • Support gang prevention and intervention programs that give young people a real alternative to gang life.
   • Stop gangs from recruiting our children, and hold those who recruit them accountable.
2. Stop the Fentanyl Crisis:
   • Stop the flow of fentanyl across our border and into our communities.
   • Hold fentanyl dealers accountable with tough penalties for poisoning our neighborhoods.
   • Expand treatment and overdose prevention programs, and support the families devastated by fentanyl.
3. End Retail Theft:
   • Crack down on organized retail theft and smash-and-grab robberies that are closing stores and killing jobs.
   • Hold repeat thieves accountable and ensure prosecutors charge retail crime.
   • Support small businesses that have been harmed by theft and lawlessness.
4. Support Our Police:
   • Fully fund and staff law enforcement so officers can protect every community.
   • Restore respect for police and make sure officers have the training, equipment, and support they need.
   • Recruit and retain good officers by supporting fair pay and standing behind the men and women who protect us.
5. Support Victims:
   • Put victims first in the justice system, not criminals.
   • Expand victim services and restitution so victims get the help they deserve.
   • Ensure victims are heard in court and protected from intimidation.
6. School Safety:
   • Harden school security and support school resource officers who protect our children.
   • Expand threat assessment and mental health support so warning signs are not missed.
   • Make school safety a top priority in every school district.
7. Restore Law and Order:
   • Enforce the laws we already have and oppose policies that put repeat offenders back on the street.
   • Support prosecutors and judges who hold criminals accountable.
   • Make public safety the first priority of government, as it should be.
