• Supports police recruitment and retention, crime-lab accreditation, faster and cheaper concealed-carry licensing, and efforts against transit fare evasion and crime.
• Orders a Federal-local beautification program covering monuments, parks, roads, transit systems, Federal facilities, graffiti removal, and restoration of damaged or altered memorials.
