Chairman Green Issues Statement Recognizing National Police Week, Homeland Republicans Honor Law Enforcement
WASHINGTON—Today, House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN) released the following statement in recognition of National Police Week:
“This week, I am honored to help welcome law enforcement officers from all over the country to our nation’s capital in observance of National Police Week. Amid evolving threats to our public safety and homeland security, dedicated and courageous law enforcement officers risk their lives to protect our communities every day. In service to this oath, many officers have fallen in the line of duty and many more bear scars they will carry for their lifetimes. My prayers remain with these officers and their loved ones.
“For many years, law enforcement warned this Committee that anti-police rhetoric and a historic border crisis hindered their mission and harmed force morale. Now, with new leadership in the White House and borders that are once again secure, I look forward to turning the tide and continuing our work to ensure the federal government is a valuable partner for state and local law enforcement. This week and every week, I am grateful to our men and women in law enforcement."
