Crime trends downward in Pinal County, while prosecution numbers are up


by: Walsh for Pinal County Attorney

 

The increased safety and security for Pinal County residents is a result of the hard work of the prosecutors in the Pinal County Attorney's Office. We are proud of our partnership with the equally hard working law enforcement agencies in Pinal County.

These women and men and the staff who support their work deserve the gratitude of the people they serve not the innuendo and slurs slammed out by a person who knows so little about the office he seeks. I welcome a discussion based on actual numbers that can be compared on an apples-to-apples basis. My office increased felonies charged by 23 to 25 percent over the past four years even as crime was decreasing and law enforcement referrals were slowing down. My opponent's overblown political statement with questionable statistics doesn't recognize reality.

 

A fact sheet based on Arizona Department of Public Safety and FBI reports can be downloaded here.

The real facts show that the increase in felony charging coincides with the lower crime rate. Let the voters of Pinal County decide whether my leadership of the Pinal County Attorney's office merits their support for another term
