I come from a law enforcement family. My grandfather, William J. Comey, was a police officer. Pop Comey is one of my heroes. I have a picture of him on my wall in my office at the FBI, reminding me of the legacy I’ve inherited and that I must honor.
Unlicensed illegal immigrants drive on our roads and interstates without insurance, and there is little that our law enforcement officials can do to stop them.
As New York’s chief law enforcement officer, I have taken a hard line against those in state government who abuse the law they have sworn to uphold.
American law enforcement officers understand that race is and has been a heated issue in our country. Most appreciate the vital need for thoroughness and transparency in pursuit of the greater good in their actions and in their investigations.
If black lives mattered, I believe that policing and immigration enforcement would not be the devastating force that it is in our communities.
A repeated problem with the Obama administration has been the lack of understanding that contracts only matter if they are enforceable – and if there is a party willing to do the enforcement.
Sherrod Brown, in the House, was one of 66 members of the House to vote against the Patriot Act, and he continues to vote against the Patriot Act, to deny our law enforcement the tools they need to go against terror.
The Patriot Act removed major legal barriers that prevented the law enforcement, intelligence, and national defense communities from talking and coordinating their work to protect the American people and our national security.
As a coach, you never take your foot of the gas when it comes to enforcement of your culture.
The Empowering Law Enforcement Act is about common sense.
We are not going to put a law enforcement official onto a plane to take them off… to remove a booked, paid, seated passenger. We can’t do that.
The compelled mother loves her child as the caged bird sings. The song does not justify the cage nor the love the enforcement.
There are some very real areas where working together is critical, whether it’s talking about public policy issues, enforcement, or how to work together to facilitate new business opportunities. The RIAA has gotten much more involved in that.
Fomenting an ongoing political crisis is actually one of ISIS’s objectives; it distracts policymakers’ attention from terrorists inside Iraq; and it draws critical Iraqi security forces and law enforcement away from the front lines of the battle against ISIS.
Technology businesses in general are susceptible to hacking. That’s why you have to work really, really, really hard with law enforcement, with security experts, internal and external groups, to make sure you’re paying attention and addressing security concerns.
We need to make sure our local law enforcement officers are armed with the right tools to stay safe and do their jobs effectively.
After acknowledging that most law enforcement personnel are fair-minded and do a difficult job, it only takes one exception to create a terrible tragedy.
The criminalization of file sharing is pathetic. It’s so pathetic, it’s almost funny. Imagine if the radio people would have lobbied for a federal law enforcement agency to raid all homes for illegal transmissions of moving picture experiments in order to stop the invention of television. It’s ludicrous.
It is difficult to be a law enforcement family. You shoulder the stresses and challenges involved in your loved one’s profession. You make a sacrifice, too.
I don’t think a reporter necessarily becomes an arm of law enforcement. I think a reporter is like any other citizen. If a citizen can do his or her duty as a witness, if they have information about a crime, or if they have information about a criminal group, I think that there’s a duty on the part of the citizen.
You know, I’m a former federal prosecutor. Before ICE was ICE, I did a lot of cases with Customs Enforcement.
We need a tougher enforcement program and, most importantly, we need to fix the badly broken ethics system.
The public has a right to know what kind of monitoring the government is doing, and there should be a public discussion of the appropriate trade-offs between law enforcement and privacy rights.
As governor, there isn’t a lot I can do beyond that to crack down on crime. Law enforcement is really a local issue. It’s the cops’ job to tighten down on criminals.
Attrition through enforcement is simply the self-evident principle that if you ratchet up the level of enforcement and make it more difficult to break the law, fewer people will continue to break the law.
Complex man that he was, J. Edgar Hoover left nothing to chance. The director shrewdly recognized that building what became known as the world’s greatest law enforcement agency would not necessarily keep him in office.
I think it’s a self-serving effort to put a political agenda above the safety of our law enforcement officers.
One of the crises that we have to deal with is a crisis of law enforcement officials that are not physically capable enough to handle without taking out the gun.
Laws matter. With effective implementation and enforcement, good laws can nudge forward positive changes in social and cultural mores.
We are saying that when our nation targets law enforcement efforts at someone’s appearance or what neighborhood they live in or what job they do, it is not living up to our nation’s basic ideals.
The Unites States used to use law enforcement to aggressively target North Korea illicit activities – counterfeiting U.S. currency, drug-running, counterfeit cigarettes and pharmaceuticals – until diplomacy gutted those efforts. The effort should be reinvigorated.
Regulating and taxing marijuana would simultaneously save taxpayers billions of dollars in enforcement and incarceration costs, while providing many billions of dollars in revenue annually.
Thru the auspices of the viewers who become – I think this is an import – in a democracy, become a working unit with law enforcement against the criminals.
You can expect interior enforcement actions in the future.
I would like to get immigration enforcement right. I think that there is a problem there, and it needs some really careful analysis and a brutal look at who’s doing what and who’s got what powers where.
My mother, my relatives, and closest friends have risked their lives in the area of law enforcement and corrections, so I never have and never will say, ‘I hate police.’
Any immigration-reform effort must begin first with border security and enforcement of the law.
In 2001, I was an Air Force lieutenant colonel and A-10 fighter pilot stationed in Saudi Arabia, in charge of rescue operations for no-fly enforcement in Iraq and then in Afghanistan.
I think 99.9% of our law enforcement officers are great Americans. Many of them are African American, Hispanic, Asian, they’re working the toughest neighborhood, they’ve got the hardest jobs to do in this country and I think they’re amazing, great Americans.
I’m not for amnesty. People must play by the rules. And border enforcement must come first.

My business is the enforcement of the tax laws and the integrity of the tax code and making sure that trustees of charitable giving are true trustees.
I think one of the great things about the United States has been our ability to maintain a distinction between our military and domestic law enforcement.
A lot of jobs today are being automated; what happens when you extend that concept to very important areas of society like law enforcement? What happens if you start controlling the behavior of criminals or people in general with software-running machines? Those questions, they look like they’re sci-fi but they’re not.
No amount of law enforcement can solve a problem that goes back to the family.
I have a problem with the way the media deals with a lot of law enforcement issues.
We live in a stage of politics, where legislators seem to regard the passage of laws as much more important than the results of their enforcement.
For any prosecutor, a decision to show leniency in sentencing must be weighed against multiple factors. Do they show remorse for their actions? Are they a threat to the public and law enforcement? Do they intend to contribute to society?
Attorneys general, district attorneys, and federal prosecutors have a responsibility to separate their politics from their law enforcement powers.
Putting together a counter- terrorism policy, it’s very easy to look at law enforcement or defense, military action or stopping the money flows or whatever, but the really difficult part is integrating all aspects of the policy, and I think she put a lot of emphasis on that.
We intend to keep the lines of communication open with the Defense Department so we can help our border law enforcement agencies navigate the equipment application process.
It would not be permissible for you to build a home and not let law enforcement in if they had a search warrant. If they think there’s a crime ongoing, they go to court and get a warrant, and they’re permitted to come in your home under the Fourth Amendment.
