Governor Mike Braun, along with Indiana State Police Superintendent Anthony
Scott, held a press conference Wednesday to discuss a "significant crackdown"
on crime in Indianapolis ahead of WNBA All-Star weekend.



This comes in response to recent violence in the city, including a mass
shooting on July 5th that left two people dead and five injured.



Braun said that the situation in Indianapolis has changed over the past
several years. He stated, “Something in the last eight or nine years is
different than it used to be.”



He believes that while police are doing their part, the justice system needs
to do better.



“Indianapolis' own justice system is not doing its job,” he said, highlighting
the importance of holding prosecutors accountable.



“That is a major part of my Freedom and Opportunity Public Safety Agenda. It's
the next step to ensure law and order is maintained.”

In preparation for the All-Star Weekend, Governor Braun assured the public
that extra precautions are being taken. “We are going to take every additional
caution to make sure Indy All-Star Weekend is safe.” Superintendent Scott added
that there will be a significant increase in troopers patrolling the city.



When asked about the need for increased police presence after the eventful
weekend, Braun pointed to Mayor Hogsett and the Marion County Prosecutor.



He said, “Until they start doing things differently, especially on the
prosecution side, they shoulder the full responsibility for what we’re having
to do to intervene.”
