2024 IN Governor's race: on Crime
Mike Braun:
Make sure the justice system is not failing law enforcement
Our law enforcement officers are on the front lines keeping us safe and they need our support to do their jobs and return home safely. Indiana law enforcement professionals need increased salaries and improved training to make sure
the justice system is not failing them by refusing to detain dangerous criminals, manipulating the bail system, and intentionally refusing to enforce laws based on a political ideology.

Mike Braun:
Violent criminals will serve hard time in state prison
Every Hoosier deserves to feel safe in their community. The border crisis allows drugs to flow into our state and brings gangs to our streets, while soft on crime prosecutors refuse to put criminals behind bars. In the Braun administration,
if you commit a violent crime, attack a police officer, or poison our kids with fentanyl then you will serve hard time in state prison.

Suzanne Crouch:
Prosecution of Trump's crimes is political persecution
On Donald Trump: "It is clear that Joe Biden and the Democrats will stop at nothing when it comes to weaponizing government against Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton started it seven years ago, and they haven't stopped since. Political persecution has no place in government."

Eric Doden:
Prevent rogue prosecutors from unilaterally defying our laws
I do not support stripping qualified immunity protections that make it easier to unfairly sue law enforcement officers for doing their jobs.Indianapolis currently ranks as the 12th most violent city in America. Under my Administration, we'll remove
Indianapolis from that list by removing violent criminals from the streets and empowering our law enforcement officers by establishing a bipartisan prosecutor review board to prevent rogue prosecutors from unilaterally defying our laws.

Curtis Hill:
Target criminal organizations, crack down on violent crime
During the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots, Curtis stood firm in support of law enforcement and used his role as attorney general to provide resources and support to law enforcement agencies across Indiana. As a prosecutor, Curtis worked with law
enforcement to proactively target criminal organizations and crack down on violent crime. As governor, Curtis will continue his crackdown on violent criminals and make Indiana the safest place in America to live, work, and raise a family.

Jennifer McCormick:
Expunge records for low-level marijuana-related convictions
We will also support the expungement of criminal records for low-level marijuana-related convictions as well
as investments in job programs for those negatively impacted by the criminalization of marijuana to increase the availability of Hoosiers in the workforce.

Eric Doden:
Develop moral character to maintain law & order
Q: Gun violence is an epidemic in today's American society. How should Indiana respond?A: A deep commitment to law and order. A lot of the issues are coming from people who are disobeying the law, and I don't think we should make gun laws for people
who are obeying the law. We should focus on making sure that we properly prosecute people, that we hold them accountable, that they're just not allowed to go out and feel the freedom to go shoot up a neighborhood or a street without consequences, and
swift consequences. For me, it's about law and order, but then also it's about, how are we training our kids, how are we developing their moral character? A lot of these issues are centered around the development of moral character, and that's why
I look at a lot of these organizations that are trying to help kids, whether it's Boy Scouts or Boys and Girls Club, that are trying to help these kids understand, how should we treat each other? Treat others the way that you want to be treated.
