Public Safety Must Remain a Top Priority for State Leaders

DACULA, GA — Former State Representative Farooq Mughal issued a statement today calling for continued investment in public safety, law enforcement support, and community‑based prevention strategies.

Public Safety Experience. Mughal’s public safety and community outreach work includes:

·        Serving as president of the Atlanta FBI Citizens’ Academy Alumni Association

·        Partnering with the FBI on community outreach during his term

·        Former Member of the Georgia Sheriffs Association

“Every Georgian deserves to feel safe at home, at work, and in their neighborhood,” Mughal said. “Public safety is not a partisan issue—it is a core responsibility of government. During his time in office, Farooq Mughal regularly met with local firefighters and police departments to help ensure they had the support and resources they needed.”

Buford and Dacula consistently rank among the safest suburbs in America, underscoring how strong community partnerships and well‑supported first responders keep our neighborhoods secure.

Mughal emphasized the importance of supporting law enforcement agencies with training, resources, and modern tools, while also investing in youth programs, mental‑health services, and community partnerships.

“Strong communities and strong public safety go hand in hand,” he added. “We must continue working together to reduce crime and build trust.”
