For over 25 years, Fight Crime: Invest in Kids members have spoken out in support of strategies proven to reduce crime by preparing kids for successful lives. “Being in law enforcement for over 13 years, I have dedicated my career to promoting and protecting the safety of our community and the surrounding communities,” said Chief Hughes. “Now as a Chief of Police, Fight Crime: Invest in Kids has given me another avenue to continue doing just that.
