WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.759
<v Speaker 1>We count down to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

2
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:09.199
<v Speaker 2>Join us for insights time the conversation KRC.

3
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Seven oh six here fifty five Kerr see the talk station,

4
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and a very happy Friday to you. Obviously, a huge

5
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.359
<v Speaker 1>election coming up in November. Top all the way down

6
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 1>to the bottom. All the races are extremely important, most

7
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>notably here in Hamilton County, Ohio, where we have a

8
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>decision to make on who we're going to vote for

9
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 1>for Hamilton County Sheriff. I think the man who was

10
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>previously in the job is the man for the job.

11
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Jim Neil, welcome back to that. Do you have KRCY

12
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Morning Show, my friend, It's always great having you on

13
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:51.960

<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's been a while. It's good to be with

<v Speaker 3>you this morning, that's for sure. And I've been blessed

16
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 3>to run into Joe Recker on two occasions in the

17
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 3>past couple of weeks.

18
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 1>Hanging out, hanging over price heal, chili worry or something

<v Speaker 1>like that. Hey, Jim, I'm gonna put you on the

33
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 1>to be there. He's a big fan of hers. Jim Neil.

34
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Oh and by the way, it's vote Jim Neil a

35
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 1>E I l vote Jimneil dot com. That's his campaign

36
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>web page. Let's just talk about your motivations for wanting

37
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>to take back over the role, Jim. Do you have

38
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 1>inside baseball about how things are going currently under the

39
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>hern administration. Because I don't read, I read very little.

40
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't see a whole lot of reporting. Of course,

41
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>local reporting doesn't usually get involved in morale issue staffing issues.

42
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 1>So what's going on inside that you're aware of that

43
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>serves as at least a motivation for you to run again.

44
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh absolutely. First of all, let me clarify that we

45
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 3>should be spending this opportunity celebrating the re election of

46
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 3>Bruce Hofbauer. But that didn't happen. So I had to

47
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 3>ask myself, what are you going to do about it,

48
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 3>jim So I decided to run because you're absolutely right

49
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 3>about the morale. It's morale's bad right now. Staffing levels

50
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 3>are extremely been impacted negatively. They're extremely understaffed right now,

51
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 3>to the extent that you know, floors had to be

52
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>shut down at the County jail. And and when you're

53
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 3>shutting down an operational like that, that's especially like at

54
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.840
<v Speaker 3>the county jail, that's hundreds of beds that are not

55
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 3>available for societies worse, and does that make our community safer?

56
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely not. When you don't have a cell available for

57
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 3>the offender.

58
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, there is a need for the cells.

59
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean there was at one point, Jimmy, you and

60
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I have talked about this over the in past years,

61
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>that there was no room at the end, you know,

62
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>in other words, they were packed in there more than

63
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 1>it was a design and built for. And of course

64
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 1>we always have the staffing issues the number of inmates

65
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 1>far exceeding the number that's safe for the deputies who

66
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 1>are guarding them. But you're saying they're closing down these beds.

67
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Does that mean there's no demand for the space? Is

68
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 1>this a consequence of woke judges letting people out that

69
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be let out. I guess I'm wondering, if you

70
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>have a full contingent of deputies and you had the

71
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 1>money and resources, would the place be full and would

72
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>all the beds be open?

73
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 3>That's a good that's a good question, because we have

74
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:07.120
<v Speaker 3>no control over you know, the decisions the judges make,

75
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 3>but we do have control every police officer at effects

76
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 3>and arrest, that offender is booked into the county jail

77
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 3>and held there until they faced the judge the next

78
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 3>day for arraignment. But when you don't have staffing levels

79
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 3>to provide security the when I left the office, Brian,

80
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 3>the office was right sized when it came to personnel.

81
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 3>We were fully staffed. In the county jail, we were

82
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 3>right size, and court services, and we were covering our

83
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 3>beats on patrol. But since I left office, the number

84
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 3>of deputies are fewer today than there were back then.

85
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Is that because of attrition inability to get people to

86
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, pursue a career in law enforcement with the

87
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 1>Hamlin County Sheriff's Department, is it lack of funding, a

88
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>combination all above what's driving Then.

89
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 3>It's not funding because she's adequately funded. There's a budget

90
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 3>that's you know, set for the deputies. It's when the

91
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 3>deputies are eligible to retire. They're retiring. A number of

92
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 3>them have left for other jobs with other agencies, and

93
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 3>it's tougher today. You're correct on recruiting, but it's it's

94
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 3>about leadership, Ryan. The deputies don't want to they don't

95
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.439
<v Speaker 3>want to work for an agenda. They want to work

96
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 3>for a law enforcement agency. And the current sheriff is

97
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:52.079
<v Speaker 3>promoting her party's agenda in policy and it doesn't mix with.

98
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Law enforcement DEI.

99
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.720
<v Speaker 3>Not just THEEI, just policies in general. You can see

100
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 3>the agenda of the party written into these policies.

101
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.800
<v Speaker 2>We'll give us an illustration of that. So or not operating.

102
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Sheriff mcguffey's every sheriff in the state of Ohio not

103
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.879
<v Speaker 3>working with Immigrations and Customs enforcement also known as silent,

104
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:24.240
<v Speaker 3>And that's just an example of one policy. When you

105
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.600
<v Speaker 3>drive by these county buildings, you're used to seeing what

106
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 3>on the top of the building an American flag, correct,

107
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 3>the state flag, maybe a POW flag. Now you're seeing

108
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 3>a Pride flag. I mean, you see what I'm going with.

109
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:47.920
<v Speaker 3>The agenda of the party is working its way into

110
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 3>the policy of the sheriff's office. This is a political sheriff,

111
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:58.519
<v Speaker 3>not a sheriff that is prioritizing law enforcement and prioritizing

112
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:05.839
<v Speaker 3>oppolding our constitution and serving the people. She's doing a

113
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 3>very good job of serving the party, but she's not

114
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 3>serving the people to the extent that she should be.

115
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, this sounds like the for.

116
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 3>The these deputies, it really is. And morales down. They're

117
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 3>leaving at record levels. It's hard to recruit period in

118
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.240
<v Speaker 3>law enforcement the way we've been demonized over the years.

119
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:36.720
<v Speaker 3>But she is adequately funded. There is funds available for

120
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 3>staffing levels, but the staffing levels are really down, sir.

121
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, and I can understand that you don't want to

122
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>walk into a highly politicized environment when those politics don't

123
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.319
<v Speaker 1>well serve your own personal interest outside of work. But

124
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 1>it shouldn't be a politically motivated job. I mean, we're

125
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 1>talking law enforcement here. You know, this sounds like exactly

126
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in America's military, Jim. You know, they

127
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.639
<v Speaker 1>can't get people to join America's voluntary military because well,

128
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 1>word's gotten out that basically it becomes this indoctrination session.

129
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.959
<v Speaker 1>It's not about killing people and breaking things and maintaining

130
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.199
<v Speaker 1>a cohesive military fighting for us. It's about dividing everybody

131
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:14.079
<v Speaker 1>and put them in separate racial and sexual baskets to

132
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>meet some sort of you know, across the board numbers game.

133
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:20.199
<v Speaker 2>Amen.

134
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>So what is Sheriff Jim Neil to turn this around?

135
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously you depoliticize the policies, but you've got

136
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 1>to get you got to spread the word about that

137
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 1>that it's a different operation, that it's a you know,

138
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.799
<v Speaker 1>a welcome environment for people who care about law enforcement

139
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 1>in their community. That that's a tough job at this

140
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>state we find ourselves in, Jim.

141
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.639
<v Speaker 3>It is, and that's going to be the challenge initially

142
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 3>is is hiring, hiring, hiring, recruiting and hiring to get

143
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 3>the agency right size so that we are available to

144
00:08:53.840 --> 00:09:00.519
<v Speaker 3>provide that quality law enforcement service. But I believe leadership

145
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 3>will help. I've there's been a number of deputies that

146
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:12.519
<v Speaker 3>have left that already approached me. If you're elected in

147
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 3>the office sheriff, can we come back. So I'm hoping that.

148
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm hoping that initially there's going to be a wave

149
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 3>coming in the front door coming back door. And that's

150
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 3>exciting and it starts with leadership, Ryan and you know,

151
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:39.840
<v Speaker 3>and leadership that's focused. Look, as sheriff, I am an

152
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 3>elected executive. The duty of the executive, whether you're sheriff,

153
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.480
<v Speaker 3>whether you're governor whether you're the president, is to enforce

154
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:55.320
<v Speaker 3>the laws. It's that simple. I'm not going to be legislating.

155
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to be interpreting the laws. I'm going

156
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.720
<v Speaker 3>to be enforcing the laws. And and as you can see,

157
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 3>there's been a failure of that all the way up. Uh.

158
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, even President Biden, he's not enforcing the laws

159
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:14.919
<v Speaker 3>on the USC and uh, that's his job and that'll

160
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.360
<v Speaker 3>be my job as sheriff to enforce the laws and

161
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 3>uphold the Constitution. I'm going to be focused on that.

162
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:23.919
<v Speaker 3>Public safety is so important part of the agenda. If

163
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 3>you recall from the from Donald Trump and JD. Vance

164
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 3>is one of the one of their goals is to

165
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:42.279
<v Speaker 3>make America safe again. Well, that's my focus as sheriff,

166
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:47.759
<v Speaker 3>to make Hamilton County safe again. And and you know

167
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.879
<v Speaker 3>how that works, Brian. You know the collaborations I was

168
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.919
<v Speaker 3>involved to make that happen.

169
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, just let's pause.

170
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll bring you back because these are import and thoughts

171
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get into you. I also want to

172
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 1>ask you about the status of Hamilton County relative to crime.

173
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you are big into collaboration and working with

174
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.279
<v Speaker 1>other agencies, which is kind of a unique thing in

175
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement.

176
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>You did such a great job of it.

177
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.799
<v Speaker 1>Hold on in a minute again, it's vote Jimneil dot

230
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, working collaboratively with various law enforcement and back

231
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.720
<v Speaker 1>in when you were previously sheriff, you were on the

232
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.919
<v Speaker 1>fifty five KRSE morning show regularly and you always talked

233
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:38.679
<v Speaker 1>about how important that was and what greater illustration than

234
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 1>what we saw with the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

235
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.519
<v Speaker 1>You see how many different law enforcement agencies have to

236
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>work together to get you know, as a well low

237
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.440
<v Speaker 1>machine for one event. I mean, with a dangerous landscape

238
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>we find ourselves in. You got FBI Director Ray talking

239
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:55.679
<v Speaker 1>about terrorist activity likely h and he's worried about it.

240
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:57.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is the kind of thing that's really

241
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>really important. Has that element of law enforcement within the

242
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Hamilton County Sheriff's Office been lost under the current administration?

243
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Jim, yes, it has. The motto of the Hamilton County

244
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:17.519
<v Speaker 3>Police Association is cooperation and operation, And our federal partners

245
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.759
<v Speaker 3>even tell us that about law enforcement Hamilton County. They're

246
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:22.840
<v Speaker 3>really impressed on.

247
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:24.519
<v Speaker 2>How while we work together.

248
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.759
<v Speaker 3>So it's equally important for the sheriff to work with

249
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:36.600
<v Speaker 3>all of law enforcement, to share resources including excuse me,

250
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:45.279
<v Speaker 3>human resources, and to participate in the task force to

251
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:50.639
<v Speaker 3>create task force to deal with the trends. It's a

252
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.399
<v Speaker 3>force multiplier, Brian, when you do that, because no one

253
00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:00.879
<v Speaker 3>agency will bear the burden of financing that task force.

254
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:04.759
<v Speaker 3>If I have two deputies in a task force, my

255
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:08.440
<v Speaker 3>budget's covering those two deputies. But they're working with other

256
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:13.320
<v Speaker 3>law enforcement solving some of of of the worst that's

257
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.759
<v Speaker 3>going on in our county today. Because as you remember,

258
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:23.399
<v Speaker 3>we started the Heroin Task Force in Hamilton County and

259
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:26.879
<v Speaker 3>and the also one of my first task force that

260
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.440
<v Speaker 3>I formed was to deal with the homeless population living

261
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:34.720
<v Speaker 3>on the county campus. And then I had task force

262
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 3>with the State of Ohio, the Human Trafficking Task Force.

263
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.720
<v Speaker 3>I had task force with the US March Marshals, the

264
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Fugitive Task Force. I had a task force with uh

265
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, involved in a task force, a collaboration with

266
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:55.799
<v Speaker 3>the FBI with terrorism and also with computer crimes. We

267
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.960
<v Speaker 3>were out there looking for them predators that are the

268
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:05.240
<v Speaker 3>victimizing our youth and other computer related crime. Brian, and

269
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.440
<v Speaker 3>I had taskforce with Homeland Security, and the list goes

270
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.080
<v Speaker 3>on and on and on. I had taskforce with the

271
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.200
<v Speaker 3>private sector. I had I had a collaboration with Hope

272
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Dudley circulating playing cards in the county jail. Each card

273
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 3>had a face of a of a murdered UH A

274
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:31.200
<v Speaker 3>victim in Greater Cincinnati in that crime. That homicide has

275
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:32.720
<v Speaker 3>not been solved.

276
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Yet the program.

277
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and with that collaboration, I was informed by our

278
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:41.840
<v Speaker 3>detectives that while I was still share, five of them

279
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:46.360
<v Speaker 3>cold cases were solved. And you know, that's why it's

280
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:52.919
<v Speaker 3>important to form UH that you know, to embrace this

281
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:59.200
<v Speaker 3>cooperation and operation and to collaborate with public and private sector.

282
00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 3>And it's just a win win and it's a force multiplier,

283
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 3>especially now when there's fewer of us in law enforcement.

284
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.880
<v Speaker 3>We need to work together to combat the criminal element.

285
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.400
<v Speaker 1>And speaking of the criminal element, before we part company today,

286
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Jim Neil, what is the status of crime in Hamilton County?

287
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:22.519
<v Speaker 1>I get the impression it's not good, but again, not

288
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.240
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of local reporting to give us a

289
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.839
<v Speaker 1>broader picture of how things currently stand. Your take on

290
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:32.039
<v Speaker 1>this current situation, Jim.

291
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:35.599
<v Speaker 3>Yes, there is. It is not good, and the population

292
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.000
<v Speaker 3>of the county is you're going to see an increase

293
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 3>because Cincinnati is a sanctuary city and what that means

294
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:50.200
<v Speaker 3>to the foreign nationals is Cincinnati is a place that

295
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:55.599
<v Speaker 3>opens their arm to receive them. And the current sheriff

296
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:02.079
<v Speaker 3>has expanded the sanctuary city and has made the county

297
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:07.000
<v Speaker 3>a sanctuary county now, so the entire region has been

298
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:14.440
<v Speaker 3>affected by this sanctuary status and the foreign nationals are

299
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:19.559
<v Speaker 3>being protected. And instead of dealt with accordingly, I will

300
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:23.480

312
