INDY FOP STATEMENT ON LOW BOND RELEASE OF SUSPECT IN ATTEMPTED COP KILLING

August 9, 2021

Our Police Officers and their families are horrified to learn of the details regarding the inexplicable (98%) reduction in bond and subsequent release of another suspected violent offender.

Last week, our FOP held a press conference calling for Local and State Action regarding the pattern of bond reductions and releases of other suspected violent offenders who were subsequently arrested for crimes of murder.

We have now learned the Marion Courts were in the process (during the press conference) of lowering the bond of a separate suspect who had been arrested and charged with Attempt Murder of a Police Officer in June.

As a result, another suspected violent offender has been put back on the streets of Indy’s neighborhoods as the Revolving Door of Criminal Justice continues to spin in Marion County.

We call upon the Marion County Prosecutor to immediately share any objections they made on the record with the Court regarding this hearing and to outline the steps they took to notify the IMPD Chief’s Office and the involved officers of this decision by the Court.

We will have much more to say in the coming days. INDY Deserves Better!

INDY FOP STATEMENT ON TONIGHT'S COUNCIL VOTE -

FOP Calls on Council to Amend Proposal to Fund Immediate Steps to Interrupt Violence

40 days ago, Mayor Hogsett announced a plan to sprinkle millions of dollars into various groups and individuals as part of a Summer Violence 'Reduction' Proposal.

Our Indy FOP warned back then that many more would be shot, stabbed, and killed while waiting on the Indy Council to act.

Unfortunately, this has proven true. Since the Proposal: 189 more people have been shot or stabbed with 33 losing their lives.

That's a person shot or stabbed every 5 hours and a person killed every 30 hours while elected officials sat on their hands.

This once again shows:

Delays + Distractions = No Plan

As Indy is in 2/3 of the way through summer, the Mayor's administration has admitted their Summer Spending (if passed tonight) won't take effect until Winter at the end of this year.

Victims Deserve Better.

Therefore, we call on the Council to Amend the Proposal and immediately move on the 4 solutions Proposed by Policing Professionals:

1. Purchase and deploy a gunshot detection system;

2. Purchase and deploy movile and static license plate readers;

3. Staff the arrestee processing center 24 hours a day, particularly during the summer months;

4. Cease automatic low bonds for repeat convicted folons for all-new Level 6 felonies charged.

These 4 Actions provide technology to immediately interrupt this Crisis and help close the Revolving Door to Repeat Violent Offenders in Marion County.

Indy Can't Wait!

STATEMENT FROM INDY FOP ON ANOTHER WEEKEND OF MASS VIOLENCE

March 15, 2021

“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.”
