I have fought to make our streets safer by placing more police officers on the streets and increasing funding for law enforcement efforts.
I am committed to making our streets safer by supporting legislation that will allow for the hiring of 50,000 additional police officers over the next six years and strengthen the Community Policing Development (COPS) grant program. I also have endorsed efforts to provide states with resources to prevent elder abuse, protect victims of domestic and sexual violence, track down and incarcerate online sex predators, and bolster the work of law enforcement agencies, courts, prosecutors and victim service organizations to prevent and fight crime.
