09-12-2019 03:52 PM

Today, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin K. McAleenan delivered remarks at the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (FLEOA) Biennial National Conference at the University of Maryland to express his strong support for law enforcement across the nation and emphasize the importance of the partnership between DHS and federal law enforcement officers.

In his remarks, Acting Secretary McAleenan laid out the three key challenges faced by DHS and its federal partners: the ongoing border security and humanitarian crisis at the Southwest border; the scourge of opioids ravaging American communities; and the increasing threat from domestic terrorism and targeted violence. The Acting Secretary, the first sworn law enforcement officer to head DHS, also took the opportunity to condemn irresponsible, unfair, and often malicious accusations against the law enforcement community.

FLEOA is the largest nonpartisan, nonprofit professional association, exclusively representing federal law enforcement officers, representing more than 26,000 federal law enforcement officers from over 65 different agencies.
