I absolutely see the prolific and repeat offenders in our community as being a huge part of the issue. I know that there is work being done to determine what options are available in dealing with these individuals, and this does fall into my realm of, "Reports are good, results are better." I will have more to say when those recommendations come forth. https://www.radionl.com/2022/05/05/89254/

On top of the prolific offender issue, it does seem that the addiction and homelessness crisis is out of control and I will lobby government while learning more about how civic leaders can do better for the communities they represent. I will ask difficult questions not only to other levels of government but also to social service providers receiving millions of dollars in funding annually to facilitate services for addicts, mentally ill and homeless. I want to see these agencies work together on a gap analysis to explore ways of working together and I would love to sit at that table to listen, learn and lead.
