"Do you see some value in a Federal role in supporting State and local law enforcement given how criminals do not stop when they hit the border?"

"One of the key Federal roles in this program is that the National Institutes of Justice test and certify which vests are appropriate, are current, are fitted appropriately, use the latest technology."

"I happen to be from the small State of Delaware where crime crosses city and county and State lines routinely."

"I could not agree more, and I appreciate that response."
