FBI Agents Association Condemns Attacks on Law Enforcement Officers; Donates Funds to Fraternal Order of Police

The FBI Agents Association issued the following statement on recent attacks on law enforcement officers:

"Federal, state and local law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to protect the public from criminal and terrorist threats. These brave men and women do so at great risk to themselves and great sacrifice to their families. Tragically, we are all reminded of this sacrifice with the murders of law enforcement officers in Texas and Illinois this week, and attacks on officers in other states. In memory of those who lost their lives and in support the families left behind by these courageous law enforcement officers, FBIAA is making a donation in their memory to the Fraternal Order of Police.

Violence against law enforcement officers can never be tolerated and the FBI Agents Association calls on elected officials and government leaders to unequivocally condemn attacks in the strongest terms possible."

The FBIAA is a professional association with a membership of more than 12,000 active and retired agents nationwide.  The FBIAA was founded over three decades ago in response to the growing recognition that agents needed to join together in order to protect and advance the interests of agents both within the Bureau, as well as in the public domain.  The FBIAA works diligently to promote and facilitate the intelligent, skillful, and efficient discharge of the professional duties of all FBI agents, and  to advance and safeguard the careers, economic interests, conditions of employment, and welfare of active and retired FBI agents.
