Eventos de envolvimento da comunidade

Até o momento, o promotor público Tim Cruz conseguiu mais de 27 milhões de dólares em subsídios para as comunidades do condado de Plymouth. Dentro e fora da sala de audiências, o Promotor Público Cruz e sua equipe estão trabalhando arduamente para defender e conscientizar os residentes do Condado de Plymouth para que possam se proteger melhor. 

O Promotor Público Cruz e sua equipe realizam rotineiramente treinamentos sobre segurança cibernética, programas de conscientização sobre drogas e álcool e apresentações sobre relacionamentos entre adolescentes para alunos e pais, para que eles possam fazer escolhas inteligentes. Por meio de sua Iniciativa de Trauma na Infância, o Promotor Público Cruz continua a treinar escolas em seu programa "Handle with Care" e outras práticas sensíveis a traumas para atender melhor às crianças com Experiências Adversas na Infância (ACEs) e àquelas que estão em risco de contrair drogas. Além disso, o Promotor Público Cruz criou e implementou o programa Plymouth County Comfort Dogs, que permite que cães de conforto estejam disponíveis para ajudar não apenas em sua comunidade, mas em todas as comunidades do Condado de Plymouth.

O Promotor Público Cruz trabalha para proteger os idosos em conjunto com os programas TRIAD do condado. Durante a pandemia, a promotora Cruz organizou treinamentos virtuais regulares para idosos, a fim de obter informações e recursos sobre como se proteger contra golpistas.

O Promotor Público Cruz apóia vários programas de justiça restaurativa e faz parceria com o Xerife do Condado de Plymouth para realizar feiras de emprego para aqueles que se envolveram com a justiça.

O Promotor Público Cruz também faz parcerias com grupos comunitários para tratar de questões como violência doméstica, consumo de álcool por menores de idade, opioides e abuso de idosos, em um esforço para tornar o Condado de Plymouth um lugar seguro para se viver e trabalhar.
