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.
