Here’s how I plan to do this:
✅ Raise base salary for state officers to $50k/year
✅ Provide grants to localities to support increased salary for local law enforcement
✅ Secure mental health support for law enforcement
✅ Invest in expanded training and collaborative support
Law enforcement in urban, suburban and rural areas across Georgia struggle with staffing shortages that put communities at risk.
Higher officer pay will lead to better officer recruitment, better officer retention, better community interactions and a safer Georgia.
Law enforcement are often paid less than a living wage, and that is wrong.
We must raise pay for officers and address violent crime as we work to build community trust and foster law enforcement accountability.

@pennjillette I was watching y’all’s show @ the rio last night, in the mezzanine. When I stood after you asked everyone to standup I straight passed out and fell into some strangers chair next to me. I missed the entirety of that trick, though I’m sure it was impressive
@pennjillette saw your show last sitting in the mezzanine. When you asked everyone to stand up I did pass out and fall back into my seat, so missed that trick. Sure it was awesome though
