Pres Trump Reiterates Supports Project Safe Neighborhoods

Last Friday, President Donald J. Trump traveled to Kansas City, Missouri, to speak at the Project Safe Neighborhoods Conference. The goal of the visit was simple: to show appreciation for our great law enforcement officials and help revive a program with a record of effective crime prevention in American communities.

“Everyone here today is committed to the same vital goal: liberating our communities from crime and securing the right of all citizens to live in safety and to live in peace,” the President said to an audience of men and women in law enforcement.

Restoring respect for our law enforcement is essential. “For too long, many politicians and radical activists have been smearing and slandering our police, making life easier for criminals and harder for law-abiding Americans,” the President explained. The results of this renewed commitment have begun to show: This year, an all-time record has been set for prosecution of violent crimes. And in a remarkable turnaround, murder rates in America’s largest cities are projected to drop by more than 8 percent compared to 2016.

“You keep America safe. And you maybe don’t hear it enough, or sometimes don’t feel it enough: You do an incredible job,” President Trump said. “We stand with you 100 percent.”
