Reschenthaler’s Statement on President Trump’s Executive Order on Safe Policing for Safe Communities
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Guy Reschenthaler (PA-14) attended the Rose Garden address where President Donald J. Trump unveiled his Executive Order on safe policing for safe communities. Reschenthaler released the following statement in support of the order:
"With today's executive order, President Trump has again demonstrated his commitment to safety and justice for all Americans. This order will empower the hardworking law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day, while ensuring we hold officers who abuse their position accountable. Through the promotion of best policing practices and increased transparency, we can foster strong bonds between police officers and the communities they serve and protect.
"I applaud President Trump for standing against radical, far-left calls to defund the police, which would endanger Americans and lead to chaos and lawlessness in our communities. In stark contrast, his executive order focuses on solving problems and bringing our nation together. Now it is time for Congress to follow his example and pass real, bipartisan reform to confront this challenge."
