“I'm very fortunate here in Riverside County and I have a great district attorney. He says that we put together good cases, did a good investigation and that person is responsible for that crime. If so, they believe they should be punished, and they must be accountable,” Bianco explained.

“If you want to stop a crime, you absolutely have to have that system. If there is no punishment and no consequence of the crime, of course, people just keep committing the crime.”

Bianco said they have managed to move violent crimes away from Riverside County.

“I have a business moving here. People move to this county and bring their businesses to our county because they know it's safer for the business here. They I know it's safer for kids,” Bianco said.

Despite a national shortage of law enforcement, Bianco said he has the opposite problem in his county.

“There's no hiring issues here. I think we have some retention issues as we're losing a lot of people to other states,” Bianco said. “We don't lose them to other institutions. We lose them as California is declining. And they will raise a better family that is a better environment for our children. I'll go to a state where I can.”

And my experience, my 32 years of law enforcement, and The six Riverside County Sheriff can look at me and know that they may not like what they hear, but they know that it is true. Not that.”
