Our nation was justifiably horrified by the death of George Floyd, and we share in the pain and anger from the communities we protect.

In Patrick Yoes National FOP President’s USA Today Op-Ed, he makes it clear that the FOP stands ready to work, speak and cooperate with anyone who genuinely wants to work collectively, in a fact-based way, to help improve policing in our country.

This tragic incident cannot be allowed to define our profession or our nation’s police officers. Law enforcement is one of the most diverse professions in our nation. During this pandemic crisis, the men and women of law enforcement were in the field putting themselves, and by extension, the members of their family, at risk of exposure to the virus. We have been and will continue to do our duty no matter what the situation.

Policing also protects peaceful protesters from rioters. We will continue to do our duty, writes Patrick Yoes, Fraternal Order of Police president.
