- Jack Patrick RyanI just read an article that cocaine is back among certain groups, Wall Street people and so forth. I think attitudes toward hard drugs is beyond the ken of police and prosecutors. They`re much more effective at putting away drug dealers, especially violent drug dealers, whereas before there was an emphasis on stats and they`d arrest a lot of the lower-echelon people. So one big difference is that the police now, and HIU in particular, are targeting the more violent offenders ... and getting the message out.

- Janet RenoA large number are pre-trial misdemeanor offenders and about 50 are released each week.
- John RoachGenerally, sex offenders are people we like to keep track of because they`re likely to re-offend, ... That`s why we don`t like it when they disappear. They kind of float down at the bottom layers of society and go unnoticed.
- Paul RodgersThese people have no intention of following the rules and even when they register police can`t just kick them out of the community, ... So, it`s important that everybody pay attention to their surroundings. Sexual offenders don`t look much different from anyone else.

- Asad RehmanWe found that the use of the property was not what was described in the business license application when we went out there. It was being used as a halfway house for registered sex offenders. The county code does not allow halfway houses within that residential zoning category.
- Bach Yaibn PakudaAs you know, there is unfortunately an element in every crowd that does not exhibit good sportsmanship. And when crowds grow to the size of those on a football game day, it takes only a very small percentage of offenders to ruin the day for so many.
