Feenstra Supports Legislation Requiring Reports about Violent Attacks on Police and Law Enforcement Officers

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, legislation requiring the U.S. Attorney General to furnish reports on violent attacks against police and law enforcement officers.

“Criminals who deliberately attack police and law enforcement officers must be punished and held accountable for their actions. Our society must have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to assaulting police and law enforcement. One way that we can help protect the men and women who protect our communities is by gathering information on attacks against law enforcement,” said Rep. Feenstra. “It’s why I voted for legislation requiring the U.S. Attorney General to provide reports to Congress and the American people about violent attacks against police and law enforcement officers. By fully understanding the facts, we can better defend law enforcement from vicious criminals and threats to their lives.”
