Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed three anticrime bills that he says will strengthen pre-trial

detention and push back against “soft on crime” policies that have made other states less safe. “One of the main things people say when they come, is that they just want to be in a place that takes public safety seriously.” DeSantis said, noting that Florida’s 50-year-low crime rate is a main driver for people who relocate to Florida. Out-of-state law enforcement officers are being offered $5,000 bonuses to relocate.
