Bail reform

We are seeing an increase of people charged with violent crimes that are given bail.  Some have had ankle devices and removed them.  Others have fled the city, or re offend.  We need this legal system to change. There have been changes in 2023

Keep our Kids Out of Jail

I know that getting kids involved in sports is a powerful way to keep them away from crime by providing structure, discipline, and positive role models.  I know because it worked for me, and that is why I coach sports to keep kids off the streets.  Sports instill important values like teamwork, responsibility, and perseverance, helping children build self-confidence and a sense of purpose. By engaging in regular physical activity, kids are less likely to be influenced by negative peer pressure at school or turn to delinquent behavior just out of boredom or lack of guidance. Organized sports also create a supportive environment where young athletes can develop friendships and receive mentorship from coaches who encourage personal growth and goal-setting. Furthermore, I know that participating in sports teaches conflict resolution and emotional control, reducing the likelihood of aggressive or criminal behavior. Investing in youth sports programs is an investment in safer communities, as it steers children toward productive and fulfilling paths while keeping them away from risky activities.

I would encourage the Conservative party to offer funding for kids whose parents can not afford to sign them up for hockey, football, soccer or lacrosse.
