FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THE AD:

Attorney General Eric Schmitt: The Defund the Police movement is a real threat to public safety and Missouri families.  

I’m Eric Schmitt.  As your Attorney General I am standing shoulder to shoulder with law enforcement to put violent criminals behind bars. 

That’s why I launched the safer streets partnership with federal prosecutors in Missouri to give stiffer sentences to violent felons that’s already resulted in over 300 charges being filed. 

VO: Eric Schmitt. Missouri’s tough on crime, law and order, Attorney General. 

Attorney General Schmitt created the Safer Streets Initiative in 2019.  This initiative created a community partnership between the Missouri Attorney General’s Office, U.S. Attorney’s Office and various local law enforcement units to help fight and prosecute violent criminal acts.
