Law enforcement across the state has raised consistent concerns about provisions that limit our ability to keep violent and repeat offenders in custody. We all want fairness in the justice system, but fairness cannot come at the expense of the safety of our communities. When individuals accused of the most violent crimes are released after a single hearing, victims lose confidence and families feel less safe. This must change.
