Law Enforcement
Image
The past few years have been brutal on our nation’s law enforcement. Violent crime is at a record high, local officials have defunded our police, violence towards public safety officers is through the roof, all at a time when first responders feel underpaid, under supported, and unappreciated.
I am working with my colleagues in Congress and community leaders across Central Washington to ensure we deliver the resources law enforcement needs to protect us and our neighbors from violent crime and deadly drugs like fentanyl. I am also fighting for tribal police in Central Washington, and have sponsored legislation to improve hiring capabilities and increase retention to better protect all our communities.
