54% : "But that requires a commitment to law enforcement."
42% : Recent attrition among law enforcement agencies around the country has been well-publicized, and we cannot allow a lack of resources to be an impediment to combating the ongoing crime wave.
41% : [I]t will increase resources to target drug crimes and funding for state law enforcement agencies."
26% : Blackburn and Hagerty urge Biden to open federal grant programs through the Justice Department that would go directly to law enforcement units fighting violent crime along with reviving former President Trump's "Operation Legend" program that deployed federal officers to cities to assist in violent crime arrests and investigations.
23% : "Rampant crime is not inevitable -- tough law enforcement can stop it," Blackburn and Hagerty write.
