Rising crime is a problem in communities all across America, and police are struggling to deal with issues of public safety due to adversarial relationships created by criticism that create a lack of trust. Eric is a staunch opponent of “Defund the police” rhetoric and knows that addressing issues of public safety requires investment in our police and our communities.
Moreover, Eric knows that the rise in crime is related to a lack of local economic opportunity. By investing in our communities and public schools, and by increasing access to public parks and areas of recreation, we can bring down crime and give police the opportunity to protect and serve our communities the way they intend. In order to make our communities safer for all, we must support police and those that protect our communities while working to rebuild trust.
