POLICING

As many problems as we have in our country with policing and those who serve and protect our communities, not many people would offer to trade places with them. They run toward danger. It’s time we value those women and men who serve our communities and nation as heroes. We must give them our very best education, job training, restorative community courses, health care including mental health, and benefits that are worth showing up and being a great warrior every day. We will promptly terminate every officer who demonstrates racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other hate actions. We want the country to trust our officers and that is impossible with bad actors giving the great ones a bad rap. Crystal Bergfield will prioritize implementation of best practices and updated training to instill pride and excitement to serve. We will continue to prioritize veterans in hiring and leadership positions.
