Brewer on crime focus areas: "City didn't pick these areas, the data picked these areas..we have to use it in a way to learn what's working"

Brewer also sat down with FOX59 to discuss other public safety issues. He favors minimum sentences to keep criminals off the streets.
“The same violent criminals shoot people (and) end up back in the street,” said Brewer. “So addressing those violent criminals, and getting them off the street, we’re going to need minimum sentences.”
In the video below, Brewer talks about the possibility of expanding pre-K programs in Indianapolis.
Brewer: "I will continue to support pre-K… if my opponent had been mayor we would not have pre-K now…" @FOX59 #INfocus
