FLEOA Applauds Trump Administration’s Federal Hiring Directive to Protect American Cities
“FLEOA supports the initiative to keep our cities and citizens safe,” said FLEOA National President Mathew Silverman. “At a time when violent crime surges in many urban areas, federal reinforcements can offer immediate, measurable relief.”
According to FBI data, violent crime across major U.S. cities, including homicides, robberies, and assaults, has soared since 2023, deeply alarming law enforcement professionals and everyday Americans alike.
In contrast, Washington, D.C., has experienced an undeniable decline in criminal activity following recent federal intervention. Since the deployment of the National Guard and federal law enforcement under the Trump administration, homicides have dropped to decades-low levels, with neighborhoods reporting 12 straight days without a single murder.
Carjackings have decreased by 83 percent, robberies by 46 percent, and car thefts by 21 percent, contributing to a 22 percent decrease in overall violent crime. Violent crime is down nearly 50 percent from the same time period last year, CBS News reported.
“These improvements reflect real safety restored to the streets of our capital,” Silverman noted. “Aligning federal hiring with the needs of America’s cities is an essential step forward for public safety.”
The national leader among members of the law enforcement community, FLEOA urges the rapid expansion of federal law enforcement hiring to support state and local agencies, the strategic deployment of resources based on real-time crime data and community needs, and continuous oversight to ensure that federal support enhances local policing efforts.
FLEOA represents the professional interests of the nation’s federal law enforcement officers, advocating for effective policing strategies, officer welfare, and the public safety of American communities.
