Police

“While Charles Booker wants to defund the police and abolish cash-bail, Andy Barr strongly supports police and will work with them to help keep Kentucky safe.”

“You are the front line between order and chaos, and I will always fight to ensure you have the support, funding, and respect you deserve.”

“I will always support the police, sheriffs, and troopers across Oklahoma who keep our communities safe.”

“On the Appropriations Committee, I have worked to deliver real results for our communities while standing up for parents, supporting our farmers, backing law enforcement, and defending the conservative values we share.”

“Barry supports law enforcement, prosecutes criminals, opposes radical left groups.”

“Andy has been endorsed in his past campaigns by the Kentucky Fraternal Order of Police and has voted to increase federal funding to support law enforcement throughout Kentucky.”

“You are the front line between order and chaos, and I will always fight to ensure you have the support, funding, and respect you deserve.”

“Fighting for COPS and DOJ Grants: I’ve secured millions in Department of Justice and COPS Office grants to strengthen local departments across Central and Eastern Kentucky — including hiring funds, new technology, and school safety upgrades to protect officers and students.”

“My record is clear: I have fought for you in Congress, and I will fight for you in the U.S. Senate. Together, we can ensure that public safety remains a top priority and that every officer in Kentucky receives the respect, resources, and protection they deserve.”

“In the Senate, Barry will back to fully fund law enforcement to keep the attention where it belongs: locking up criminals.”

“Enhancing Criminal Penalties for Criminals who Target Cops: I voted for the Thin Blue Line Act and the Protect and Serve Act — legislation to strengthen penalties for anyone who assaults or targets police officers. Criminals who attack law enforcement must face serious consequences.”

“That is why I am a proud cosponsor of the Protect and Serve Act. This legislation would create federal criminal penalties for assaulting a law enforcement officer, including life in prison for the murder or kidnapping of an officer.”

“Fighting for COPS and DOJ Grants: I’ve secured millions in Department of Justice and COPS Office grants to strengthen local departments across Central and Eastern Kentucky — including hiring funds, new technology, and school safety upgrades to protect officers and students.”

“Championing the Chief Herbert D. Proffitt Act: to fix the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits program so that families of fallen officers aren’t denied benefits due to retirement technicalities. Chief Proffitt, a Kentuckian killed by a criminal he once put behind bars, deserves justice — and so do all of you who wear the badge. I led this bill to passage in Congress and it will be signed into law by President Donald Trump.”

“Unlike my opponents in this race, I will never cave to the radical left when they come for our men and women in uniform with anti police, pro-criminal policies that will hurt our law enforcement and endanger our communities.”
