You're Invited to Join Rep. Flood's Back the Blue Roundtable on February 20th
by Tara Johnson 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

Hello! The previously scheduled event has been rescheduled for February 20th. It would be great to get some Troopers (active and retirees) to this event. If you have any questions or wish for me to rsvp for you, please let me know. Thank you, Tara Tara Johnson ________________________________ From: Gage, Taylor <Taylor.Gage(a)mail.house.gov> Sent: Wednesday, February 7, 2024 2:29:54 PM To: Gage, Taylor <Taylor.Gage(a)mail.house.gov> Cc: Rupiper, Noelle <Noelle.Rupiper(a)mail.house.gov>; Strong, Mike <Mike.Strong(a)mail.house.gov> Subject: You're Invited to Join Rep. Flood's Back the Blue Roundtable on February 20th [A picture containing text Description automatically generated] YOU’RE INVITED: NEBRASKA BACKS THE BLUE ROUNDTABLE ON FEBRUARY 20th Congressman Mike Flood invites you to join a “Nebraska Backs the Blue” Roundtable on February 20th. While respect for law enforcement has deteriorated in large urban centers, Nebraska has continued our tradition of supporting the men and woman who wear the uniform and keep our communities safe each and every day. At this roundtable, Rep. Flood hopes to hear about the challenges facing Nebraska’s law enforcement agencies as they work to recruit and retain the workforce of tomorrow. Feedback from the roundtable will help inform “Nebraska Backs the Blue” initiatives. ROUNDTABLE DETAILS When: 1:15 PM CT on February 20, 2024 Where: Cornhusker Office Plaza (Lower Level) 301 S 13th St, Lincoln, NE 68508 RSVP to Taylor Gage at taylor.gage(a)mail.house.gov<mailto:taylor.gage@mail.house.gov> Note: Each agency or organization is limited to two representatives due to space limitations. OBJECTIVE & BACKGROUND Let’s create a movement and system for getting more Americans to consider becoming law enforcement officials from both within and outside of Nebraska. We have a solid foundation to build upon. In 2022, before he entered Congress, Rep. Flood was the proud cosponsor of the Law Enforcement Attraction and Retention Act in the Nebraska Legislature. This bill provided a variety of cash incentives for individual officers to help law enforcement agencies retain their workforce. It received nearly unanimous approval from the body. In the 2023, State Senator Eliot Bostar offered and passed the First Responder Recruitment and Retention Law, which allows for sworn officers and their dependents to receive a 100% tuition waiver at any state university, college, or community college that is good for five years. Nebraska has also continually maintained the policy of qualified immunity for law enforcement officials, while many other states such as Colorado, Connecticut, New Mexico, and New York have done away with the policy.
