AmericasDefend, Not Defund the PoliceProtecting the men and women who protect us should never be about party politics—it should be about doing what's right. Rising crime statistics underscore the importance of looking beyond political rhetoric and acknowledging the daily challenges and dangers faced by law enforcement officers. Crime rates in the United States have been exponentially increasing in recent years, and our law enforcement officers are on the front lines of this battle. For far too long, "defund the police" movements and anti-police legislation have resulted in skyrocketing crime across the country and against our brave law enforcement. And 2021 was the deadliest year in two decades for our law enforcement officers.
