Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) announces new steps for public safety to take on the Board of Corrections’ opposition to the PROTECT Act.
In a bold move aimed at enhancing public safety and addressing the opposition from the Board of Corrections, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) has announced new steps to ensure the implementation of the PROTECT Act. The act, which focuses on increasing penalties for violent offenders who target law enforcement officers, has faced considerable resistance from the Arkansas Department of Correction’s Board of Corrections.
In a statement, Gov. Sanders expressed her determination to protect the lives of those serving in law enforcement and the residents of Arkansas as she pushed back against the Board of Corrections’ concerns. She stressed that while it is essential for the state to have effective prison management, that goal must not come at the expense of ensuring the safety of the public or the officers who serve them.
