FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL: Law enforcement has our backs. Let's show we have theirs

During National Police Week we should show our support to the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line for us everyday.

Kash Patel was lead investigator on the Russia-gate investigation for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. During the Trump administration he served as chief of staff at the Department of Defense and as deputy assistant to the president, among other senior national security posts. He is a senior fellow at the Center for Renewing America. 

Since becoming FBI director in February, I’ve made it a personal priority to reach out to every chief and sheriff who has lost an officer this year. It may be the hardest part of the job, and every conversation is heartbreaking, but it’s a complete must. Every one of them reflects the strength, character, and deep sense of service that define the law enforcement profession.
