The Colorado Federation of Young Republicans is hosting a critical public safety forum on October 23rd at the American Legion in Denver at 1:30pm, bringing together key speakers to discuss the urgent need for crime deterrence and legislative reform in Colorado. The event will feature influential voices from law enforcement and politics, providing valuable insight into how the state can better address rising crime and improve public safety for its citizens.
Jack Gilmartin, Chairman of the Colorado Federation of Young Republicans, will focus on the necessity of prioritizing legislation that effectively deters crime. In his remarks, Gilmartin will emphasize that the next generation of hard-working citizens, those striving to achieve the American Dream, deserve a safe and secure environment to do so. He will challenge both current and future legislators, including Governor Polis, to enact policies that address human behavior and the need for real deterrents to criminal activity.
“We represent the next generation of hard-working citizens who simply want to work hard and achieve the American Dream,” Gilmartin said. “We are asking our current and future legislators, as well as Governor Polis, to focus on legislation that takes human behavior into consideration. There needs to be a deterrent to all forms of crime, rather than incentives or lax penalties.”
John Fabbricatore, the former Field Office Director for U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (CO-WY), will also address the audience, sharing his extensive experience in law enforcement and immigration. Fabbricatore will provide insight into the impact of state policies on local and federal law enforcement cooperation, highlighting how effective crime prevention strategies require coordination across various levels of government.
In addition to these key speakers, George Mumma, a candidate for HD-25 and former Police Chief with over 40 years of law enforcement experience, will discuss the pressing need for reform in Colorado’s criminal justice system. Drawing on his decades of experience in protecting communities, Mumma will speak to the challenges facing law enforcement today and outline potential reforms to strengthen public safety.
Several targeted State Senate and State House candidates will also be featured, contributing their perspectives on how Colorado can move forward with policies that ensure safety for all its residents. These candidates are focused on advancing public safety legislation that addresses the root causes of crime and provides effective deterrents.
This event serves as an important platform for Colorado citizens to engage with leaders and hear firsthand about the steps needed to address crime prevention and build a safer state. As public safety remains a key issue, the forum aims to foster a productive dialogue around the policies and solutions that can make a tangible difference.
The Colorado Federation of Young Republicans invites the public to join this important discussion on the future of public safety and how Colorado can work together to create a secure environment for all.
The forum will take place on October 23nd at the American Legion in Denver at 1:30pm . For more information or to RSVP, please Jack Gilmartin the Chair of the Colorado Federation of Young Republicans at [email protected].
