“Ventura County has not earned its low crime rate by accident. It is the product of well-trained and equipped law enforcement agencies that have the support of its citizens, a no-nonsense judiciary that has gained a reputation for tough sentencing, and businesses and citizens who care and take a strong role in their communities.” Congressman Gallegly is chairman of the Task Force on Urban Search and Rescue, a member of the Congressional Fire Service Caucus and the Congressional Caucus to Fight and Control Methamphetamine, and the first non-lawyer to serve on the Judiciary Committee.
