“I've been working tirelessly to make sure we hire more police in Pennsylvania, and we're at about 1500. I pledge to get to 2000, and we will surpass that. We've invested hundreds of millions of dollars in violence prevention initiatives here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And violent crime is down 42% across this Commonwealth.
