Public safety organizations throughout California all agree, AB 937 makes our state less safe by protecting violent felons and penalizing our cooperation with federal law enforcement. Call your State Senator and tell them to VOTE NO on AB 937. #publicsafety #PSAC #AB937 #Crime

SB 300 would lower sentences for the most violent offenders at a time when homicide rates are rising throughout CA. Call your Assemblymember and tell them to vote NO on SB 300. #CalChiefs #PSAC #SB300 #Crime #publicsafety #CAleg

Nothing we do, do we do alone. While the #ThinBlueLine may bend, the more than 800,000 men and women of law enforcement won't let it break. Not now, not ever. We have the watch from here. #EndOfWatch

🚨 OFFICERS DOWN: Pray for the 3 @houstonpolice Officers shot in the line of duty today. All 3 officers are in stable conditions.
The unprecedented violence against officers continues & requires a strong rebuke from all of us, including politicians at every level of government!
