Gov. Bev Perdue addressed law enforcement and correction leaders at the N.C. Governor’s Crime Commission Safe Communities Conference in Greensboro.
The conference is held once every three years and draws more than 500 professionals in law enforcement, corrections, judicial and victim services.
“This conference is a testament to our ongoing commitment to being tough on crime, and even more importantly, smart on crime,” Gov. Perdue said.
As Governor, Perdue has worked with the General Assembly to toughen the probation and parole system, to increase access to information for law enforcers and to cut through red tape to speed warrant processing.
At the conference, Gov. Perdue recounted how she rode along with a probation officer one night and saw first-hand the challenges faced by probation officers.
