JUSTICE AND PUBLIC
SAFETY
As Co-Chair of the Public Safety Committee
in 2006, Senator Snow focused on increasing the well being of our
communities and homes by working to provide new state of the art
technology to law enforcement officers.
Protection from Sexual
Predators
Senator Snow has worked to make sure
that the Department of Corrections is equipped with a state of the
art GPS tracking system that will monitor the location and movements
of the most serious sexual predators. This technology will allow
police to establish boundaries for these criminals, such as parks,
schools, and playgrounds and will alert police when they are
crossed.
Enhancing North Carolina’s

for North Carolina’s development of a state wide communications
system to help law enforcement and emergency response personnel
communicate efficiently as recommended by the 9/11 Commission.

the public can carry on its business without fear from
attack.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEEDS FOR
ECONOMIC GROWTH (ONE NC)
As the State’s economy
grows and changes the Legislature must be sure to provide a business
environment that is conducive to productive and beneficial growth
throughout the State. The ONE NC committee ensures that the State is
considering all of the available options that it has available to
it.

An efficient
transportation system can speed the flow of commerce. With the

kept and properly augmented with other modes of transportation.
