AFSCME’s Saunders on National Law Enforcement Week: We recognize law enforcement officers for their sacrifices and dedication

“No matter the emergency, AFSCME members in law enforcement never hesitate and they never quit. They are selfless in the face of danger, putting the safety of others before their own. This week, we pause to recognize the sacrifices they make, and we celebrate their tireless dedication to our communities.

 

“These brave professionals understand the risks that come with the job, yet they choose to serve regardless. As we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, we reaffirm our promise to support all who continue to keep our families safe. That support means fighting for better training, top-tier equipment, and adequate staffing — because their safety matters, too.

 

“Just as they show up for us without fail, we must show up for them — with gratitude, with action, and with unwavering respect. That is our commitment this National Law Enforcement Week.”
