“Our Indianapolis community bore the painful consequences of violence once again this past weekend.
Unfortunately this is nothing new. Our law enforcement organization along with faith leaders warned of this surging violence 18 months ago in the Fall of 2019.
In January 2020, our law enforcement professionals placed ‘Seven Solutions’ on the table for consideration. A key step was to convene a Commission on Criminal Justice Outcomes to examine and fix the broken system of criminal justice within Marion County.
Sadly, our elected executive and legislative leaders rejected such a proposal. They told our city they knew best and they had a plan.
It’s been over a year and hundreds more have died as a result of criminal violence. So we ask yet again: ‘Where’s Their Plan...Where’s Their Action?’
Our residents and officers are stuck in the middle of this violence. We are weary of any politicians who point to inanimate objects as the source of our violence.
When it comes to Indy’s Violence it is NOT a proliferation of guns from last year, but a proliferation of criminals who have no fear of consequences due to a broken system of criminal justice that cycles repeat convicted offenders back into our neighborhoods.
Indy is a city in crisis. We need leaders to stop putting politics over people and stop pointing fingers at each other and instead point to solutions.
In the interim, Indy’s policing professionals will continue to stand the line to serve and protect our residents, visitors and business owners. We will always get out of our cars.”

Quote of the Day "No one knows the dangers and the difficulties faced by today's police officers better than another officer, and no one knows police officers better than the F.O.P."
