Ensuring access to law enforcement tools and products is a cornerstone of the partnership between the Department of Homeland Security and this nation's state, local, tribal, territorial, and campus (SLTTC) law enforcement.
The service, sacrifice, and commitment of law enforcement to the safety and resilience of communities, especially in the face of new and evolving threats, represents the very best of our great nation. The Department of Homeland Security is extraordinarily proud to support and collaborate with law enforcement to help keep communities safe.
