[Mad Max]

Hold a forum, open to the public, discussing the drug and/or homelessness problems. People want to help but lack direction believing their tax dollars will solve their civic issues. Prevention is always the best course of action.

Get rid of bad actors in the department. People need to know you are serious about protect and serve. No knock warrants are bad especially on the wrong house or by bad information. Shooting dogs is frowned upon by their owners and can result, like in Houston, people dying and officers being wounded.

Schools are in need of common sense policing. Get your officers to teach a weapon safety, drug independence, sex trafficking and common courtesy rules for driving on public roads. Kids need to know someone actually cares about public safety.

Get to know the County Sheriff and discuss criminal activity that both of you can resolve in short order. Send a message you care and things will change.
