Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts is concerned that attention isn’t been given on the rising criminal activity in various states, as well as at the border.
Just before the weekend, Congress was finally able to garner a temporary agreement to keep the government funded through mid-November. But the real concern is the fact there was so much focus on scrambling for a last second deal instead of establishing funds where they need to be.
After a last second vote by bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate, the government averted a shutdown. But there are several important issues lost in the shuffle, particularly the “fund the police” bill that continues to be ignored.
There are a lot of officers across the country frustrated by this, either taking retirement or seeking out better employment opportunities in other states. Equally frustrated by these matters is Michael Letts, a law enforcement veteran with over 30 years of experience under his belt.
Letts is President, Founder and CEO of InVest USA, which specializes in providing bulletproof vests to police officers through various charitable groups and sponsorships. His expertise on all police matters will certainly help with this subject.
Q&A:
- How frustrated are you right now in the government’s inability to provide police officers the proper funding they need in order to continue operating, with new gear and mental health support?
- Do you believe there are people that still believe in the “defund the police” movement that are preventing the bill from being passed? And even if it is passed, are there those in local government that will stop funding from going to the right place?
- One particular factor you’re frustrated by is that Biden administration-supported offices like the FBI and the Department of Justice are fully funded, while local officers and Border patrol agents are vastly underfunded. Why do you think it’s set up this way?
- If you were in charge of dividing the funds, how would you go about it?
- Speaking about what’s happening about the Border, we’re continuing to see a number of migrants slip through into the country by the thousands. Are you concerned that they’re not getting the proper attention as well? Particularly with what seems like a “cold shoulder” brushoff by President Biden?
