Election
BY JESSICA SHORTEN
Montgomery County Precinct 2 constable, Republican Primary
What are the biggest challenges facing law enforcement currently? Law enforcement grapples with challenges such as community distrust, technological advancements in crime, mental health crises and navigating complex social issues. Striking a balance between public safety and individual rights while addressing systemic concerns is crucial in the dynamic landscape law enforcement faces today.
Are there any structural or service changes you would like to make to the department? Initiating change in Precinct 2, I’d prioritize selecting new command staff and address deputies’ concerns in meetings. These insights guide necessary changes, fostering a productive and professional culture. This inclusive approach lays the groundwork for positive transformation within the precinct.
Daniel Pena Occupation: manager, Montgomery County Reality Based Training Center Relevant experience: 20-plus years of law enforcement; 10 years, special deputy, U.S. Marshals www.penaforpct2constable.com David Eason Occupation: chief deputy, Montgomery County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office Relevant experience: 25 years of law enforcement experience www.easonforconstable.com
Population growth in the county and in Precinct 2 is ever expanding. Multifamily housing changes the dynamic of civil process and adds increased law enforcement needs across the county. A 10-year study and growth projection of law enforcement and civil service to the community needs to be evaluated.
We are currently working on implementing CompStat data-driven policing dashboards to enable deputies to have real-time access to crime trends as they happen to enable swift saturation of areas experiencing crime surges. This removes random patrol models and allocates resources where they matter the most.
