All Californians want and deserve to feel safe in their communities. Under the banner of #SmartSolutions, we are working to ensure that policy discussions and decisions are rooted in proven and effective approaches to safety and justice.
With California facing a multi-billion dollar deficit this year, now is not the time to turn back the clock on progress and repeat costly mistakes of the past. Now is the time to double down on smart solutions that work.
