Reclaiming Safety: A New Approach for King County.
Protect What We Work For: Amiya Ingram’s Fight for Property Crime Reform and Community Trust.
Amiya knows what it's like to work diligently for material things, then have them ripped from you. Her main goal is to infiltrate the culture of our Police Departments to find more data on issues that are prioritized. According to the Washington Crime and Data statistics report a crime against property in Washington happens every 1.5 minutes. In fact property crimes make up about 73% of crimes in the state. As a victim of theft herself she believes that more resources should be put into securing our citizens belongings and what they work hard for. She believes this will build community trust, and make citizens more willing to share, volunteer, and help those individuals in need who feel they have no other means of survival. She feels stealing is not the only way, and that if we can assign tickets for traffic violations to citizens, we can protect them from being violated.
