1
00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:00,868
How do you think that

2
00:00:00,934 --> 00:00:03,604
the DOJ gets credit for lower

3
00:00:04,104 --> 00:00:05,973
crime statistics statewide?

4
00:00:06,039 --> 00:00:07,474
Well, there are lots of folks

5
00:00:07,541 --> 00:00:08,208
who play a role in

6
00:00:08,275 --> 00:00:09,309
what we do statewide.

7
00:00:09,376 --> 00:00:10,444
The Department of Justice

8
00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:12,212
is involved in investigating

9
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:14,081
crimes of statewide importance.

10
00:00:14,147 --> 00:00:15,315
We oversee the crime labs.

11
00:00:15,382 --> 00:00:16,750
We work on every

12
00:00:16,817 --> 00:00:18,018
felony criminal appeal

13
00:00:18,085 --> 00:00:18,752
in the state.

14
00:00:18,819 --> 00:00:20,120
We also work in partnerships

15
00:00:20,187 --> 00:00:20,888
with lots of other

16
00:00:20,954 --> 00:00:22,356
law enforcement agencies.

17
00:00:22,422 --> 00:00:23,390
What I think is important

18
00:00:23,457 --> 00:00:25,025
is that we recognize

19
00:00:25,092 --> 00:00:26,393
that lots of folks contribute

20
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:28,095
to overall safety in the state

21
00:00:28,161 --> 00:00:29,329
and that certainly includes

22
00:00:29,396 --> 00:00:30,497
local law enforcement

23
00:00:30,564 --> 00:00:31,498
and others.

24
00:00:31,565 --> 00:00:32,766
What's notable, I think, though

25
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:33,901
is Fond du Lac County

26
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:35,235
has gone the opposite direction

27
00:00:35,302 --> 00:00:36,136
from the rest of the state

28
00:00:36,203 --> 00:00:36,970
under the leadership

29
00:00:37,037 --> 00:00:38,539
of Eric Toney.

30
00:00:38,605 --> 00:00:40,407
That I think is not the kind of

31
00:00:40,474 --> 00:00:41,208
failure I want to see

32
00:00:41,275 --> 00:00:42,943
taken statewide.
