One of the core responsibilities of state government is keeping the people of Florida safe from the threat of crime. We can do that by putting more law enforcement officers on our streets and combating important public safety issues like gang violence, Internet sexual predators, illegal drug distribution and domestic violence.
Darrin McGillis Commitment
I will keep the most dangerous criminals off of the streets by proposing an amendment to the Florida Constitution that will mirror federal bail laws and permit pre-trial preventive detention based on public safety concerns.
I will make our streets safer and reduce recidivism by more aggressively enforcing stricter prison terms for violent offenders and requiring drug rehabilitation and vocational training for non-violent drug offenders.
I will create new programs that provide alternatives to gang membership, facilitated by community groups, faith-based groups, and other local institutions.
I will change parole law to ensure violent offenders serve their entire period of imprisonment.
Making Our Communities Safer
Darrin McGillis has always been a strong supporter of Florida's law enforcement community.
A McGillis administration will pursue an aggressive legislative agenda that will put more police officers on our streets, combat gang violence, illegal drug distribution and Internet sexual predators.
Darrin's Safe Neighborhoods and Communities
program focuses on efforts to combat these critical concerns of the
public.
