- The prepared remarks first emphasized the importance of supporting police departments throughout the country and fostering a culture that respects law enforcement. โWe have to give our police back their authority, resources, power, and prestige. Leave our police alone. Let them do their job. Give them back their RESPECT. They know what to do. We have to allow them to do it,โ Trumpโs plan said.
- On top of giving officers the tools they need to succeed, Trumpโs policy proposal called for the restitution of โstop-and-frisk policies in cities,โ adding that it is imperative guns are taken from criminals. โIf you are a convicted felon and you have a gun, youโre off the streets,โ the proposal asserts.
- Trump also proposed strengthening โqualified immunity and other protections for our police officers.โ
- He further called on the next set of Washington, DC, lawmakers, who take office in January, to make emergency funds available for the hiring of police officers across the nation, as many departments face staffing issues. โWe need the largest increase in the hiring of police officers in American HISTORYโโto get more police on the streets than EVER before, walking every beat,โ the prepared remarks said.
- The 45th president also advocated for a joint violence crime task force headed by both the Department and Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, which would focus on โdestroyingโ gang organizations and imposing โsevere penalties.โ
