Chicago politicians can spin the crime numbers all they want, but this federal operation tells a very different story. More than 300 fugitives arrested. Nearly 200 people charged. Twenty-four abducted or missing children located and reunited with their families. This is what happens when law enforcement is actually allowed to do the job. Eleven federal agencies came together to target violent crime, drug trafficking, child exploitation, kidnapping, robbery, gun crimes, and more — while the same political party that downplays...ahem, certain types of crime keeps pretending everything is fine. Back the men and women cleaning up the mess. #BackTheBlue# #ThinBlueLine# #LawEnforcement# #ChicagoCrime# #PublicSafety# #ProtectOurKids#

A new public safety battle is brewing in America that centers on AI-powered cameras discreetly installed on thousands of street corners, parks, parking lots, neighborhoods and drones buzzing overhead. Many of the cameras are operated by Atlanta-based Flock Safety for the purpose of providing footage to law enforcement. But the prevalence of the cameras has spurred growing public resistance across the political spectrum and led to dozens of communities cancelling or rejecting Flock’s surveillance equipment. How do you feel about this issue? Going too far? Or good idea?

Director Cekada reaffirmed his commitment to protect public safety, enforce the law, and remove violent offenders from our streets through crime gun intelligence and relentless investigation while safeguarding the rights of law-abiding citizens.

🛑 A fatal assault in Copenhagen raises serious questions about public safety in Europe! Off-duty Swedish police officer and father of two young daughters, Christian Zedig, was brutally killed while watching the World Cup at a fan zone in Denmark. ‼️On the ECR Group’s request, the #EuropeanParliament# held a debate on this terrible instance and how the need to ensure safety in public spaces remains a top priority. Do you feel safe in Europe?👇 @weimers
