Schwarzenegger: We are basically telling the criminals that the crackdown on them will
not stop anymore at the city limits or the county line. We will continue to do it statewide. We are stepping up our
effort we will be going after them with full force.
The governor spoke in Oakland today and said he wants to establish a new designation for parolees as ‘High
Risk Gang offenders’ who would have special parole conditions.
He also wants gang members who are released to register with local law enforcement, and in some cases wear GPS tracking
devices.
Some of the governor's efforts
will have to be done through the legislature and the budget process. Schwarzenegger says he wants to target nearly $50 million
toward the effort -- much of that included in his revised budget that was released earlier this month.
He will also appoint a state Gang coordinator to serve as a contact for local
governments and community organizations
