ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The International Association of Chiefs of Police released a statement on Saturday asking the White House to use its authority to bring together, as soon as “practicable,” local, state and federal law enforcement leaders. The statement requests “policy-level discussions aimed at identifying a constructive path forward.”
The statement doesn’t mention any specific incidents or locations, but does reference “the ongoing challenges affecting public safety, law enforcement professionals, and the communities they serve.”
