Yesterday, @FBIDirectorKash joined FBI New York and @NYPDnews to address over 150 law enforcement partners at a Joint Terrorism Task Force all-hands panel. As we approach the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, our partnerships have never been stronger and we are committed to ensuring such a tragedy does not happen ever again.

Growing up as a first generation American citizen on Long Island NY, 9/11 hit extremely close to my family. On one of the worst days in American history when savage terrorists attacked our homeland, so many friends, neighbors, and other first responders ran toward danger to protect and serve their fellow Americans. In the wake of so much tragedy, we saw the best of our country respond. I was honored to visit the 9/11 Memorial in New York paying tribute to all those who defended America in her darkest hour. That includes the far too many who have died in the years since from 9/11 related illness in the FBI that I’m extremely proud to lead. Their sacrifices - and the sacrifices of ALL law enforcement, first responders, and our military who gave their lives - will NEVER be forgotten. And let it be known to any law enforcement organization who chooses to disrespect the brave souls who lost their lives on this day - you will have no friend in me, and no friend in this FBI. Special thanks to National September 11 Memorial and Museum Director Clifford Chanin who hosted us. Their work honoring 9/11 is incredibly important. WE WILL NEVER FORGET.”
