INDY FOP STATEMENT ON ATTACK OF OFFICER'S HOME:
Our collective police membership is concerned about this incident. We have reached out to the officer involved to ensure the officer and their family have all the resources they need at this time.
Like any attack on on our police, we must accurately account for the facts so that we may have a complete investigation to better understand how this occurred and hopefully prevent such incidents in the future.
In the interim, we continue our call for mandated reporting of assaults on law enforcement officers. Currently only 57% of police agencies report these statistics to a national database.
We look forward to working with our elected leaders in Indiana and at the federal level in the coming days to enact such legislation and we call upon residents to join us in these enhancement efforts.
Law is the safeguard of freedom, when those who swear to uphold the law fall under attack it threatens the fabric of our society.
We must come together to help protect those who protect our communities.
Fraternally,
Rick Snyder, President
