U.S. Representative Tracey Mann of Kansas addressed the U.S. House to honor law enforcement officials during National Police Week. Rep. Mann joined his Republican colleagues in passing several bills, including the LEOSA Reform Act, the BELO's Act, and H.Con.Res.30. He also participated in a vigil for fallen officers at the U.S. Capitol.

In his prepared remarks, Rep. Mann stated: "Mr. Speaker, this week the nation has come together to celebrate National Police Week—a time to honor the brave men and women who wear the badge and put their lives on the line every single day to protect our families and communities."

He highlighted the dedication of law enforcement officers across the country: "In the Big First and across the country, law enforcement officers run toward danger when the rest of us run away." He emphasized their commitment to upholding laws and serving communities despite facing challenges from policies that could jeopardize their safety.

Rep. Mann expressed strong support for law enforcement agencies: "Let me be clear: I unapologetically stand with the men and women in blue." He voiced opposition to efforts that might undermine these agencies' roles in maintaining public safety.

He extended gratitude to various branches of law enforcement, saying: "I express my deepest gratitude to police officers, Customs and Border patrol agents, detectives, state troopers, sheriffs, investigators, correction officers, drug enforcement agents, and U.S. marshals who have dedicated their careers to serving their communities."

Rep. Mann concluded by acknowledging their sacrifices: "America is grateful for all you do."
