Alaska now spends more on prisons than our university system. We have a priority problem here. Since passage of HB 49 in 2019, Alaska Dept. of Corrections budget has grown from $291 M to $345 M the governor’s proposed FY22 budget. #akleg 1/ https://t.co/TB09nSX4AP

Crime continues to fall in Anchorage following years of investment in additional officer positions. Thanks to the Anchorage Assembly for making that possible. The next step is addressing the cause of most crime by expanding access to getting substance abuse treatment.#AKLeg
Rep. Geran Tarr has been leading the charge to speed up testing of rape kits so that victims of sexual assault can find justice for years. This is one more step in that process. Alaskas sexual assault survivors thank you. On to the Senate. #akleg https://t.co/Xn0b2Q4Q7g
Its good news for Alaskans that the Dept. of Corrections is scrapping its plans to send prisoners out of state. I will be tracking this issue closely to ensure that public safety and recidivism reduction are top priories of any plan going forward. #akleg https://t.co/ciMTgy4vM3

This week is National Crime Victims' Rights Week, and Victims for Justice has various events to spread awareness of victims' rights, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons, and to recognize those impacted by violent crime.: https://t.co/9CbIbcS0td
Until we address the causes of crime we will unnecessarily allow crime to continue, continue to see growing prison budgets and unnecessarily incarcerate people who are really just sick. 3/
We had a great conversation about APD staffing which has grown to over 440 sworn officers in the last six years and police-community relations. Thank you to Acting Chief McCoy and the entire team at APD for your efforts to keep us all safe and secure in Anchorage. 2/2
Call Anchorage Police Department at 311 if you have any information about who may have posted these hateful and threatening stickers in Anchorage yesterday. https://t.co/d4yy98AMlY
