Law enforcement officers across America are looking to elected officials to step up and Back The Blue.
On this episode of the Blue View Podcast, National President Patrick Yoes is joined by Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina. Senator Tillis has been a champion for local, State, and Federal law enforcement and has been a national leader in advancing legislation to ensure they have the tools, resources, and support they need to protect the public and stay safe while in the line of duty.
He has partnered with the FOP on several bills important to law enforcement; everything from Cybercrime metrics, reauthorization of the COPS Hiring Program, Scenario-Based Training, and legislation, initially developed by the FOP, on increasing the availability of trauma kits.
Notably, he was a key leader of two legislative efforts of critical importance to law enforcement—the Public Safety Officer Support Act (PSOSA) and the Protect and Serve Act.
