National Police Support Fund The National Police Support Fund is a national coalition committed to promoting the interests of America’s police officers within the public policy arena.

The National Police Support Fund was founded as a response to the growth of a pervasive anti-police movement in the United States that has often been perpetuated by some politicians at the highest levels of our government. The result has been the rise of an increasingly violent anti-police movement which targets the men and women in uniform who daily, and often thanklessly put themselves in harm's way to protect the citizens of the communities they serve.

California lawmakers overwhelmingly backed a plan to improve retirement benefits for police officers and firefighters. So why did Gov. Gavin Newsom veto it?

AB 1383 would have lowered the full-benefit retirement age for public safety workers from 57 to 55 and allowed unions to negotiate more generous pension formulas.

Newsom pointed to long-term pension costs, while police and firefighter unions argued the changes could help recruitment, retention, and workers whose demanding careers take a serious physical toll.

For the men and women who spend their careers protecting California communities, the veto raises an important question: How should the state balance pension costs with keeping experienced first responders on the job?

Gov. Gavin Newsom rejected a bill to lower the retirement age and sweeten pension perks for police and firefighters despite overwhelming support in the Legislature.

"We do need to defund the police." A Michigan Senate candidate said it on the radio in 2020. Now, on the 2026 trail, his message about law enforcement sounds very different.

FactCheck.org dug into his record. Which version should voters believe when it comes to the officers who keep us safe?

What happens to public safety when an entire local police department is ordered to shut down?

Trinidad, Texas, has lost its five-officer police department after a state investigation found serious deficiencies, including inadequate equipment, policies, and evidence-handling resources. For now, the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office is stepping in to provide law enforcement coverage.

Whatever went wrong inside this department, Trinidad residents still deserve dependable, properly equipped officers protecting their community. What led to such a drastic shutdown, and what comes next for policing in this small Texas city?

What happens when the “defund the police” rhetoric of 2020 comes back into the spotlight years later?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is distancing herself from some of the language surrounding that era, while comments from Wisconsin state Rep. Francesca Hong have renewed attention on how Democratic officials have talked about policing and public safety.

The debate has changed considerably since 2020. But what exactly was said then, and how are those remarks being addressed today?

Could a Florida property tax amendment unintentionally put pressure on police funding?

A proposed constitutional amendment backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis would eliminate non-school property taxes on homesteaded properties. The Bradenton Herald reports that local officials are raising questions about what that could mean for revenue supporting essential services, including law enforcement.

The proposal is being debated as property tax relief, but the public safety implications are also part of the conversation. How would communities keep police departments properly funded if local tax revenues decline?

What did James Talarico really mean when he said America’s policing system needed to be “replaced” with something new?

The Texas Democratic Senate nominee is facing renewed scrutiny over comments from 2020 discussing the “defund the police” movement and questioning whether armed officers should respond to every type of emergency.

His campaign says the remarks are being taken out of context and maintains that Talarico supports funding law enforcement.

With those old comments resurfacing in a closely watched Senate campaign, the debate now centers on how his past statements compare with the position he is taking today.

Did Tom Tiffany really vote to “defund the police” six times, as his opponent in Wisconsin’s governor race claims?

A new fact check examined the six House votes cited by Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. It found that none of them reduced existing law enforcement funding, although Tiffany did vote against one bill that would have provided new federal funding to local police departments.

So what did those six votes actually do, and how did they become part of a “defund the police” accusation?

Could police departments lose federal funding simply for using a crime-fighting tool?

Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie has pushed to strip federal funds from departments that use Flock license plate readers, citing surveillance and privacy concerns.

Henderson Police Chief Billy Bolin strongly disagrees, arguing the cameras have become an important tool for solving crimes and locating missing people.

So where should the line be drawn between privacy safeguards and giving law enforcement the technology it needs to protect communities?

What could nearly $1 million less for police personnel mean for a community?

Homewood, Alabama’s proposed budget would reduce the police personnel allocation from about $13.76 million to $12.88 million.

According to 1819 News, the proposal would eliminate six positions and could leave at least one fewer patrol officer on each shift.

As budget hearings continue, residents have an important question to consider: How could these staffing changes affect response times, recruitment, and public safety?
