ST. PAUL, MN –Senate Majority Leader Jeremy Miller (R- Winona) released the following statement in response to the House DFL public safety proposals:

“Senate Republicans will make communities safer by funding more police officers, holding violent criminals accountable for their actions, and ensuring victims receive the justice they deserve. It’s good to hear Democrats finally talking about crime, and non-profits and volunteers are amazing resources, but they aren’t equipped to address the high levels of violent crime we’re seeing in Minnesota. Law Enforcement needs tools, resources, and respect from political leaders to keep us all safe.”
