If we are going to achieve the level of safety every resident deserves, we need a justice system that actually holds repeat gun offenders accountable for the crimes they commit and the violence they drive. I want to thank Senator Tony Munoz and Senator Kwame Raoul, along with the support of the State Senate, for their leadership in ensuring repeat gun offenders get sentences that match the severity of their crimes. Combined with social supports like mentoring, investments in neighborhoods and new predictive policing strategies, this bill would help us continue to improve public safety in every corner of the city.
