27 Dec '23

Below is a great opportunity to meet and discuss law enforcement with Congressman Flood in Lincoln on January 8. If you plan to attend, please feel free to RSVP yourself or let me know and I can RSVP for you. This would be wonderful to have some Troopers present - sharing ideas, issues you face, and what you see as future obsticals in your careers. Best, Tara [A picture containing text Description automatically generated] YOU'RE INVITED: NEBRASKA BACKS THE BLUE ROUNDTABLE As National Law Enforcement Day approaches, Congressman Mike Flood invites you to join a "Nebraska Backs the Blue" Roundtable. 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: 10:00 AM CT on January 8, 2024 Where: Cornhusker Office Plaza (Second Floor - Yankee Hill Room) 301 S 13th St, Lincoln, NE 68508 RSVP to Taylor Gage at taylor.gage(a)mail.house.gov<mailto:taylor.gage@mail.house.gov> 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. Last year, 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. ### -- Taylor Gage | Communications Director Office of Congressman Mike Flood (NE-01) Website<https://flood.house.gov/> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/USRepMikeFlood> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/RepMikeFlood>
