Just like San Francisco it is going downhill because of these soft-on-crime policies.

Carjackings were once so rare in my State that they weren't separately tracked. Now, there are hundreds every year.

What we should not be doing at this time is to call for the defunding of the FBI and ATF.

It is astonishing that you would do that at a time when we are concerned about violent crime.

I am committed to making sure that you, Chief Manger, have the resources that you need to be able to do your job.

Law enforcement officers actually wear handcuffs on their gun belts to use them against criminals, but Democrats... have allowed those handcuffs to be put on us to not do our jobs.

I have strongly, as a Democrat, supported more resources for law enforcement. I will continue to do that.

As crime continues to remain a serious threat and concern for Members, staff, and visitors, I am focusing on finding ways we can reduce violent crime in our Nation's capital, in particular near the Capitol campus.

I want to say thank you to the law enforcement officers of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Law enforcement has our back. It is critical that we have your back as well.

For folks who continue to talk about supporting law enforcement, some of my colleagues either have amnesia or do not recognize the importance of supporting law enforcement at the Federal, State, and local levels.

Perhaps the worst slogan I have heard in politics is, 'defund the police.' The SEC is the police department of our $100-trillion capital markets.

We have to build a bridge between the community and law enforcement. We can’t keep talking past each other.

We need to crack down on violent crime and make our communities safer for everyone.

Crime is not just a law enforcement issue, it's a community issue.

The truth of the matter is that-- that the problem of police shootings and reactions in the community--

I strongly believe that there is no contradiction between us protecting our officers, honoring our officers, making sure that they have all the tools they need to do their job safely, and building trust between police officers and departments in the communities that they serve.

We need to keep making our streets safer and our criminal justice system fairer.
