Senator Coons Statement on National Police Week

"The men and women who protect and serve our neighborhoods in Delaware and across the country deserve our thanks, but more than that, they deserve representation in the Senate who recognize the fact that the more we put into our law enforcement officers, the more they're connected to our neighbors and the more they help to sustain our communities. As a co-chair of the Senate Law Enforcement Caucus, I've worked with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ensure our peace officers have the tools they need, whether that's securing increased funding to hire law enforcement officers in the American Rescue Plan, introducing bipartisan legislation to address PTSD among officers, or working with our state's congressional delegation to ensure that every officer in Delaware will be equipped with a body camera. This week and every week, I promise I'll continue funding the police and working to get the support and resources they need to serve and protect every Delawarean."
