Public safety officers are coming under attack all too frequently in the United States, simply for doing our jobs. This lack of respect for our profession is spurring assaults, shootings and unfortunately killing of law enforcement officers at an ever-increasing rate. Just this week our officers were targeted, and just today a LASD Deputy was ambushed outside of the Lancaster station.
The League is a founding member of UCOPS, a national coalition of law enforcement unions. UCOPS is launching a digital ad campaign to support
U.S. Senate Bill 1480, the “Back the Blue Act,” which will allow for federal prosecution of those that target law enforcement officers for assault. We need your active engagement to help advocate for the passage of S. 1480 by taking the steps below to ensure our digital ad and its important message are heard.
By visiting www.UCOPS.org you, your family and friends can spend under a minute to send a targeted, pre-written email to their respective members of Congress.
Now is the time for law enforcement to stand up and demand that we get the protections we need to do the dangerous work our members do everyday!
