This National Police Week, America honors the brave men and women of law enforcement who risk their lives every day to protect our communities. Under President Donald J. Trump, these heroes are being respected, empowered, and supported, rather than defunded, demonized, or betrayed by the Radical Left.
After four years of Democrats' war on police, President Trump has demonstrated decisive leadership that is putting police officers back in a position of strength. And the results are undeniable.
In 2025, the homicide rate in the United States recorded its largest annual decline in history, falling to a 125-year low, with sharp declines in all violent crimes. Major cities saw huge declines in homicides, while rapes, robberies, assaults, shootings, police officer deaths, which reached an 80-year low, fatal traffic accidents, and overdose deaths also saw big declines.
These historic gains continue and accelerate through 2026, particularly in cities like Washington, D.C. and Memphis, where President Trump deployed federal support to restore order and bolster local police.
These successes are the direct result of the Trump administration's unwavering commitment to law and order.
Imposing the death penalty for those who murder police officers
President Trump has directed the Justice Department to aggressively pursue the death penalty for those who kill police officers.
Repealing Democrats' lenient policies on crime
The Trump administration has rolled back sweeping Biden-era orders that promoted “alternatives to arrest” for violent offenders and imposed restrictions that tied the hands of police officers when using lawful force to make arrests.
Empowering cities to restore order on the streets
States and local authorities now have stronger tools to remove people who cause disorder on the streets and direct them to treatment, rather than allowing the chaos to continue.
Restoring critical funding and providing financial relief
The Working Families Tax Cuts Act restored and expanded the Byrne JAG and COPS grants to fight violent crime, while also establishing an overtime tax exemption for America's hard-working police officers so they can keep more of what they earn protecting us.
Termination of the guarantee without cash
The Trump administration has cut off federal support for the Radical Left’s “cashless bail” plan, which the document says has turned the streets into revolving doors for dangerous criminals, while imposing consequences on jurisdictions that refused to act.
Dismissal of lawsuits against police and DEI orders
Biden-era Justice Department lawsuits that targeted local police and fire departments and weakened hiring standards were dropped with the goal of protecting public safety, not political correctness.
Restoring the authority of law enforcement
President Trump has taken bold action to promote aggressive and proactive policing, based on proven best practices, while protecting officers from undue expense and liability so they can enforce the law without fear.
Developing support in cities with high crime rates
The Trump administration has bolstered high-crime cities run by Democrats with federal resources, standing with local police to deal with chaos, restore order, and save communities that, according to the text, have suffered for years from Democratic failures.
Providing the necessary equipment to the police
The Justice Department overturned Biden-era restrictions and restored access to critical surplus military assets so local law enforcement has the tools they need to succeed.
Targeting criminal illegal immigrants
Federal agents are now authorized to support local police in removing violent criminals who are in the country illegally, resulting in hundreds of thousands of arrests and removals, which, according to the text, make communities safer.
Limitation of binding federal oversight agreements
The Trump administration has begun a review of federal consent decrees, binding oversight agreements, which, according to the text, were micromanaged and hindered effective policing in cities across America.
Under President Trump, America's police are stronger, our communities are safer, and the results prove it.
