What Is Your Drug Enforcement Policy?

One of the questions I was asked is, "What is your drug enforcement policy?"  That's an easy one.  I have zero tolerance for illegal drugs and drug dealers.  We must protect our citizens, especially our young people from the harmful effects of illegal drugs and the violence that goes along with drug trafficking.  I will continue the hard line that has been taken against drugs in our community. We will aggressively seek out any illegal drug activity and thoroughly investigate all reports of suspected drug trafficking including, if necessary, conducting undercover operations.  I will also cooperate with federal agencies to pursue federal charges against any person caught selling or transporting drugs in or through our city. Those offenders with prior felony convictions can get tougher sentences and longer time served before being released if charged under federal instead of state statutes. Cooperation and a continued working relationship with this district's federal prosecutor will help insure we get these sentences.

The drug activity in our city has declined from what it once was, but only with vigilance, aggressive action, and aggressive prosecution will we continue to keep our streets and neighborhoods safe.

I will be hosting a series of Family Day outings in various parks around Minden throughout the Summer. The first will be held at Ewell Park on June 5, 2010 from 2pm until 4pm. There will be free food and drinks and you will be able to meet me in person and ask your questions. I look forward to seeing you there.

TO THE PEOPLE OF MINDEN, LOUISIANA

   I sat at Turner's Pond today enjoying the view and thinking of what to say next to you, the citizens of Minden, in my blog.  And it came to me that you should tell me what it is that you, the people, want to hear.  I am campaigning to be Police Chief of Minden.  The Chief of Police is a public servant.  Public servants should be exactly that, servants of the public.  And we serve best when we hear from the public.

   Use this blog as your opportunity to ask questions you may have regarding what I will do as police chief.  Voice your concerns about our city and what you would like to see from your police department. Voice your ideas about what you think we might do to make this city more safe. I will do my best to answer your questions.  I will consider your ideas and address your concerns.  For those of you who are just now learning of me, take this opportunity to get to know me.

   We live in a beautiful city.  It really is one of the friendliest cities in the South. Together we can make it one of the South's safest and best cities.  This is your police department. Help me to make it better by getting involved.  I will need your support and I am asking for you vote.  Tell me your ideas and concerns.You can post them in the comments section. Please be civil, framing your comments in the same courteous manner you would want someone to address you.   I will write new post every Wednesday.  If elected I intend to continue this site so that we can stay connected and you can have a way to voice your ideas, comments and concerns.  I will also be available to the community in person.  You will be heard.  This is our city, yours and mine.  Help me Make it the safest and the best city it can be.
