Hi
John,
Watching the news can be daunting lately. Rising mass shootings and issues with gun violence have shaken our country and our state.
New Yorkers want to feel secure, but local crimes leave many feeling helpless and uncertain about the safety of their neighborhoods - and some communities face larger threats to their public safety than others.
Our community needs a public safety plan that looks out for everyone that lives here. Without truly addressing the issues that lead to crime and violence, we will never feel completely safe.
We must devote resources to a new approach to public safety. As Senator, I will work to engage residents who have been disconnected from services, supports, and opportunities and who are most at risk of becoming a victim or perpetrator of gun violence.
