Mark Dayton on Crime

Democratic Governor; previously Senator

 


More resources for local law enforcement & COPS

I will fight to provide local law enforcement the resources needed to prevent and control crime. I support increased federal funding for law enforcement for programs such as COPS and other federal initiatives that expand the presence of community police on our streets.
