I’m grateful to Vince and to all the leadership and staff at the International Association of Chiefs of Police for the work they do, every day, on behalf of brave law enforcement officers across the United States and throughout the world. The relationship between the IACP and my office, the Office of Justice Programs, goes back many years, but it has never been stronger than it is at this moment. We have stood side by side in the fight against crime – a fight our Attorney General has called “ceaseless” and “unrelenting” – and our partnership has never wavered. What unites us is a deep and abiding respect for our law enforcement professionals and an unflagging commitment to their safety and welfare. I am proud of the work we have done, and will continue to do, together.
