2022 RI Governor's race: on Crime


Dan McKee: Proposed parole after 10 years if under 22 at time of crime

The budget proposed by Gov. Dan McKee would have offered parole eligibility after 10 years to anyone under 22 at the time of their crime. The revised version passed by the General Assembly doubles that time, and explicitly exempts people sentenced to life without parole. McKee is expected to sign the revised budget on Tuesday.

Luis-Daniel Munoz: Supports national accreditation standards for police

[On crime standards]: "Rhode Island's version of the law enforcement accreditation process should be expanded to mirror the national accreditation framework, expanding its coverage from 200 to the 460+ policies and standards assessed within the national accreditation process.

"How can we expect to adequately assess, and transform, any system of public safety, if law enforcement agencies in different states, cities, and towns are allowed to operate under different standards and expectations?"

Luis-Daniel Munoz: Every time a person is abused it is no longer a deterrent

[On police reform]: "Every time a youth is abused--every time a human being is abused it is no longer a deterrent. It is a flame that is going to continue to ignite a revolution. LEOBoR [the Law Enforcement Officers Bill of Rights]] is the levy. We need to break it." Munoz reflected on growing up in the early 2000s. Officers who knew him would not harass him, but officers that didn't know him did. "Needing a connection with a specific police officer to not have fear to walk the streets is not progress."
