Building trust between law enforcement officers and the communities we serve is one of my highest priorities as attorney general.
Community-based policing has now come to mean everything. It's a slogan. It has come to mean so many different things that people who endorse it, such as the Congress of the United States, do not know what they are talking about.
Our kids' lives depend upon keeping them safe. That has to be a fundamental duty and responsibility for me as mayor. That means we have to continue hard but necessary work of bridging the divide between police and communities they serve.
We can bring this country together. But we must realize that our heroes in blue are part of the solution and not the problem.
I think the more we see more officers holding each other accountable, the more we will see people trust cops in this country.
We need to restore the faith and trust between law enforcement and communities across the country.
I'm dedicated to healing the wounds between police and minority communities so both sides feel safe again.
Law enforcement must be guardians in our communities, not warriors against our own people.
The NYPD has taken steps to engage marginalized communities and attempts to bridge gaps between these neighborhoods and those sworn to protect and serve them.
It's been my desire to support efforts to aim at healing the relationship between law enforcement and the community.
