National FOP President Patrick Yoes released the following statement:

“2️⃣7️⃣2️⃣ officers were shot in the line of duty in August, nearly doubling the figures from the past year. The danger law enforcement officers across the country face each day is growing due to the increase in targeted attacks and the nationwide crime crisis, which has seen criminals emboldened by the failed policies of pandering prosecutors and cynical politicians. Frankly, it is unlike anything I’ve seen in my 36 years of law enforcement.

“In 2022, officers weathered one of the most dangerous years for law enforcement since the Fraternal Order of Police began recording this data in late 2015, and 2023 is on track to exceed this total.

“It is time to raise our voices and demand that Congress take action to address the violence towards law enforcement officers. Pass the Protect and Serve Act! It is incumbent upon our elected officials and community leaders to stand up, support these heroes, and condemn the violence against law enforcement officers.”
