The Hogan for Maryland campaign today unveiled a 10-point plan to address violent crime–including steps to deal with violent offenders, back law enforcement, and support victims.
“We can no longer allow politics to get in the way of public safety,” Governor Hogan said. “There are bipartisan common sense solutions that the federal government can urgently adopt that will make a difference and save lives. In the Senate, I will make it a top priority to bring people in both parties together to get this done, support our law enforcement, and make our communities safer.”
The release of the plan, which Governor Hogan first discussed this morning on WBAL’s C4 and Bryan Nehman Show, comes amid a series of meetings and discussions with law enforcement organizations–including the Prince George’s County FOP, the Anne Arundel County FOP, and the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association.
The plan, which can be viewed here, includes ten sets of goals and initiatives:
1. Take Repeat Violent Criminals Off The Streets
2. Get Guns Out Of The Hands Of Violent Criminals And The Mentally Ill
3. Respect And Re-fund Police And Law Enforcement
4. Let Law Enforcement Do Their Jobs
5. Hold Prosecutors And Senate Confirmed Nominees Accountable
6. Stop Reckless DC Policies That Are Hurting Marylanders
7. Dismantle Drug Trafficking Cartels
8. Dignity, Respect, And Resources For Victims Of Crime
9. Help Those Who Have Served Their Time Re-enter Society
10. Provide Mental Health And Substance Abuse Treatment For Those Who Need It
