President Donald Trump signs an executive order on safe policing for safe communities. (White House)<\/p><\/div>\n


\nThe executive order pursues common-sense reforms to public safety while rejecting fringe, anti-police demands. \u201cI strongly oppose the radical and dangerous effort to defund, dismantle, and dissolve our police departments\u2013especially now when we’ve achieved the lowest recorded crime rates in recent history,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump: Restoring, renewing, and rebuilding our communities<\/a>
\n 
\n\u201cMany of the same politicians now presenting themselves as the solution are the same ones who have failed for decades on schools, jobs, justice, and crime. They\u2019re all often, unfortunately, the same politicians running the cities and states where help is most needed.\u201d
\n 
\nAmericans both support the brave men and women in blue and believe we must improve accountability, increase transparency, and invest more in law enforcement training. President Trump\u2019s actions recognize and build on these goals:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Certification:<\/strong> The Justice Department will now allocate certain funding only to law enforcement agencies that meet high standards for use-of-force and de-escalation, as credentialed by reputable independent bodies. As part of this new credentialing, chokeholds will be banned except if an officer\u2019s life is at risk.
    \n <\/li>\n
  2. Information sharing:<\/strong> The Attorney General will create a database for federal, state, and local law enforcement to track terminations, criminal convictions, and civil judgments against law enforcement officers for excessive use-of-force.
    \n <\/li>\n
  3. Mental health:<\/strong> To protect both officers and our most vulnerable populations, the Administration will prioritize training for police and social workers who respond to incidents involving the mentally ill, addicted, and homeless.
    \n <\/li>\n
  4. Legislative action:<\/strong> The Administration will develop and propose new legislation to Congress to build on these policies and boost community engagement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Reducing crime and raising police standards are not opposing goals, President Trump said. This executive order protects decent, law-abiding officers while holding those who abuse their badge accountable for their actions.<\/p>\n

    \n    President Trump: We will reduce crime AND raise standards! <\/a>
    \n 
    \nSafer communities mean safer work for our law enforcement officers, too. Last year alone, 89 officers were killed in the line of duty. In recent days, two members of law enforcement were killed amid riots and looting. Hundreds more were injured.
    \n 
    \n\u201cThe vast majority of police officers are selfless and courageous public servants,\u201d President Trump said. \u201cWhen others run away from danger, police run straight into harm\u2019s way, often putting their lives at stake to protect someone who they don\u2019t know or never even met.\u201d
    \n 
    \nViolent crime in America is falling under President Donald Trump, and we have brave law enforcement officers to thank for it. In 2018, police arrested nearly 12,000 people for murder and manslaughter, about 25,000 for rape, and nearly 1.5 million for assault.
    \n 
    \nIn many cases, local law enforcement is underfunded, understaffed, and under-supported. The last thing our country needs to do is to make the jobs of good, decent police officers more difficult. The far-left\u2019s radical agenda proposes doing just that.
    \n 
    \nPresident Trump\u2019s executive order today brings law enforcement and their communities closer together. Calls to defund policing will only drive them further apart.<\/p>\n
