Attacks on law enforcement officers are at a 10-year high as police staffing declines, according to a May 15 congressional hearing.
Lawmakers questioned ambassadors for law enforcement groups at a hearing before the House Homeland Security Committee during National Police Week. The witnesses included Gregory Mays, deputy commissioner of Homeland Security for the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security; Michael Bullock, president of the Austin Police Association in Texas; and Michael Chapman, sheriff of Loudoun County, Virginia.
