Joe Lombardo on Crime

Reduce the felony theft threshold with enhanced penalties

Make it harder--not easier--to commit a crime in Nevada

I will be introducing legislation that makes it harder ?not easier--to commit a crime in the state of Nevada. My bill will include:
• Protecting businesses by lowering the felony theft threshold;
• Empowering judges and probation officers to impose tougher sanctions for parole violations;
• Strengthening drug laws by reducing weights for possession and trafficking, while increasing penalties;
• Fentanyl possession in any amount should be a category B felony,

Enact more severe penalties for violence on school grounds

Sentencing reform directly related to increased crime rate

Supports the death penalty, as long as there's due process

Defunding the police is a radical, left-wing effort

In the Army, Joe took an oath to protect and defend this country and our constitution. As a police officer.and later as Sheriff.he took another oath to protect our community and our values. Safe from Antifa. Safe from Anarchy. Safe from Socialism.

Joe has and will always support police reforms that focus on better recruitment and more extensive vetting and training of officers trusted with protecting our communities. He believes that all police departments could benefit from a multicultural advisory council that works to help law enforcement better understand and integrate with diverse communities. Joe has been a vocal advocate for finding more effective ways to handle mental health, social welfare, and victim advocacy calls.
