Jeter: We must continue supporting our law enforcement

Posted by: Andi Sommers  | Thursday, July 1, 2021

As lawmakers, we rely heavily on input from constituents and local leaders to learn how we can better serve our communities. Oftentimes, what starts out as a conversation can turn into legislation, which is introduced to the General Assembly and hopefully carried across the finish line to become law. After listening to several Hoosiers in our district express an urgent need for more support for public safety officers, I knew this needed to be a top priority of mine during the 2021 legislative session. Law enforcement officers put on their uniform and head to work every day not knowing what their next shift will have in store for them. New laws I supported this session invest in Indiana's law enforcement training and programs, while supporting local police departments.

Thursday, October 15, 2020
