Rep. Mike Harris, R-Waterford, alongside Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, gathered at the Detroit Public Safety Headquarters to discuss efforts in reducing local violence. The meeting took place on Monday, April 7, 2025, highlighting Harris' proposed bipartisan legislation for a Public Safety and Violence Prevention Trust Fund.
Following the Tuesday conviction of a Chilean national involved in a series of home invasions in Oakland County, Rep. Harris released a statement on Wednesday. The individual was part of a group targeting homes in the community.
Harris stated, “The conviction of this home invader is another step toward a safer Oakland County. Transnational gangs have terrorized our community, raiding families’ homes and stealing their valuables. I’m grateful that Sheriff Bouchard and our local law enforcement officers are working tirelessly to crack down on these lawless invasions, and this conviction is a result of their vigilant investigation.” He stressed the importance of continued efforts by both state and local officials in safeguarding Michigan residents, while urging the federal government to bolster homeland security.
Sheriff Bouchard's collaboration with Harris emphasizes ongoing commitment to addressing community safety challenges in Oakland County, as they advocate for stronger preventative measures against criminal activities.
