Hoosiers use their cell phones and laptops to work, pay bills and connect with friends and loved ones.

Each year, dedicated men and women choose to serve and protect our State by joining one of our many outstanding law enforcement agencies.  Often, these public servants put on their uniform and have no idea what their next shift could entail.  From responding to a dangerous situation, to providing first aid before medics arrive, our local law enforcement officers serve as part of the fabric of our community and they deserve the critical resources they need to protect Hoosiers.  I also believe in working with our public safety officials to increase accountability and transparency for all departments.
