During National Police Week, we recognize the brave men and women of law enforcement who serve and protect our communities each and every day. From carrying out arrest warrants to conducting outreach at our schools to patrolling our streets, police officers provide invaluable service to our communities, helping to keep each and every American safe. Far too often, these officers experience threats and violence in their work, and tragically, 136 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty last year. It was President Ronald Reagan who said: ``Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.'' Through their heroic actions, these officers embodied the spirit of that message, and we can never truly fully repay the debt that we owe them. This week, let's recommit ourselves to standing with law enforcement and ensuring that these men and women have the tools and resources that they need to do their jobs safely and effectively. investing in american energy
