John Greven’s Vision for Summit County
1. Upholding the Law with Integrity: John Greven believes that the cornerstone of a safe and just society is the consistent and fair application of the law. He is committed to upholding the law as written, ensuring that every case is prosecuted with integrity and transparency.
2. Focusing on Serious Offenders: John’s extensive experience has taught him that focusing on serious offenders is crucial to maintaining public safety. He prioritizes prosecuting violent criminals, drug traffickers, and repeat offenders, ensuring that they face the full consequences of their actions.
3. Promoting Rehabilitation for Minor Offenses: Understanding that everyone can make mistakes, John advocates for rehabilitation programs for non-violent, first-time offenders, particularly youth. He believes in giving individuals a second chance to reform and reintegrate into society, rather than imposing harsh penalties for minor infractions.
4. Supporting Law Enforcement: John Greven is a strong supporter of our law enforcement agencies. He will work closely with police to ensure they have the resources and training needed to effectively protect our community while also holding them accountable to the highest standards of conduct.
5. Enhancing Community Engagement: Community involvement is essential for a responsive and effective justice system. John is dedicated to increasing transparency within the prosecutor’s office and fostering open communication with Summit County residents. He plans to implement community outreach programs to build trust and collaboration between the public and law enforcement.
“My job isn’t to get a 100% prosecution rate. That’s bad. It means I’m focused on numbers, not doing what’s right. My focus is on seeking justice and ensuring fairness in every case. It’s about making our community safer by targeting serious offenders while giving others a chance to learn from their mistakes.”
