CRIME/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/POLICE/TRUMP EXEC ORDERS: ” ‘Preventing Violence Against Federal, State, Tribal, and Local Law Enforcement Officers’
The order calls on the Justice Department to ‘enhance the protection and safety’ of law enforcement by increasing penalties for crimes committed against officers.
The attorney general is also instructed to review and determine whether existing federal laws adequately protect law enforcement and later to propose legislation to better protect officers. The order directs the Justice Department to recommend changes in federal grant funding to law enforcement programs if they do not protect officers.”
