Serving in a state agency that depends on law and order, Hank prioritizes public safety by providing the necessary resources and support for our law enforcement agencies on top of conventional oversight and accountability programs by reinstating the Police Commission that is established by our City Charter.

As a strong supporter of law and order, coupled with public safety. Hank Preston acknowledges the escalating concern of gang violence in our communities. He is committed to backing our law enforcement officers to intensify the battle against gang crime. His approach includes a combination of punitive measures, such as cracking down on gangs through injunctions, and rehabilitative efforts, such as parole work placement, community reintegration support, and addiction therapy.

Beyond conventional law enforcement, Hank believes in a city where public safety becomes a joint endeavor. Community engagement initiatives will take center stage, fostering understanding and mutual respect between officers and residents. The Office of The Mayor under Hank Preston will aim to organize programs, and workshops to build bridges between law enforcement and the communities they serve, paving the way for meaningful conversations and a more cohesive, resilient city.

In addition to providing crucial resources, such as equipment and training, Hank Preston is dedicated to investing in mental health support for our law enforcement personnel. Recognizing the toll their challenging work can take, we will prioritize well-being programs to ensure that our officers are mentally and emotionally equipped to handle the demands of their profession.
