How Powerful Is YOUR Voice?

How powerful is YOUR voice? Over the past week and a half 2 articles have been published regarding the activity of the Louisiana Fraternal Order of Police in the Louisiana Legislature. You can access the articles at this link and this link. You can read the full statement of President Basco here for both articles. Here is an excerpt from one of those articles about OUR collective voice....

State Rep. Kyle Green, a Marrero Democrat, offered the latest reforms last year, as part of a package of protections for police whistleblowers.

His law passed, but not before the FOP opposed Green's repeal of the “absolute nullity” rule, and lawmakers struck the proposal from its final version.

“Not much can get through without their approval or abstaining on any particular issue,” Green said.

We have stood for you through police reform and the attempted repeal of qualified immunity over the past several years.

Your collective voice in the legislature through grassroots VoterVoice efforts shows our strength on issues that affect the rank and file of Louisiana’s law enforcement. Last week a piece of legislation that would move primary traffic infractions to secondary infractions failed to pass on the House floor. Watch the video here, YOU are part of that collective 11,000 officers represented with floor notes on the legislation.
