WASHINGTON — On May 5, 2023, Representatives Ken Buck (R-CO) and Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced a House Resolution expressing support for our nation's local law enforcement and condemning any efforts to defund or dismantle police departments.
The resolution recognizes the great sacrifices local law enforcement officers make in keeping their communities safe and upholding the rule of law.
“Ever since the George Floyd riots of 2020, our brave men and women in blue have been mercilessly attacked for solely doing their jobs,” said Rep. Ken Buck. “Shamefully, leftist activists and progressive politicians have continued to call for the defunding and dismantling of local police departments across the country. We're not going to let that happen. National Police Week is an opportunity to show our support to local law enforcement for upholding the rule of law and selflessly protecting our communities.”
“We must ‘back the blue’ now more than ever,” said Rep. Andy Biggs. “Crime is surging across our cities in virtually every major statistic. These heroes are the only ones putting themselves in harm’s way to uphold our rule of law and ensure public safety. These courageous men and women volunteer to keep our communities safer every day. At the very least, they deserve our gratitude and respect. I am grateful to introduce this much needed resolution along with my good friend Congressman Buck.”
