Please lift our brothers and sisters at the US Marshals Service, NC Probation and Parole, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police in your prayers as they have endured a huge tragedy today. 

 

As some of you may have heard by now, two USMS Fugitive Task Force Officers with the NC Probation and Parole, and a USMS Deputy were killed today during the execution of a warrant in Charlotte, NC.  

 

This incident impacts all of us as it is a reminder of the dangers we face each day when we leave home in these unprecedented times.

 

For this reason, it is important that we love up on one another. 

 

I want to especially express my condolences to VP Duncan and Tony Dixon, from the Washington DC Chapter, Region 6 VP Deputy Asst. Director Jacob Green all members of the US Marshals Service.

 

Know that we stand here with you and for you if there is anything we can do. 

 

With Sympathy

Police Violence Is Never a Solution

NOBLE Responds to Former President's Suggestion on Reducing Crime

 

The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) is alarmed and concerned by recent comments during this year’s national presidential elections that “one real rough, nasty day” of unchecked police violence is a viable solution to crime.

 

Police violence is a topic of great concern and has rightfully been the subject of widespread conversation and media attention. History has shown us that aggressive policing tactics can lead to further mistrust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Instead of fostering safety, such approaches often exacerbate existing tensions and contribute to a cycle of fear and resentment.

 

Communities thrive when they are built on trust, understanding, and collaboration between residents and law enforcement. Effective crime prevention requires a commitment to community engagement, social services, and addressing the root causes of crime, such as poverty and lack of access to education.

 

Further, it is important to emphasize that organizations such as the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) stand for justice, equity, and the advancement of effective policing practices. Our commitment to fostering positive relationships within communities reflects a vision that prioritizes safety and dignity for all, rather than relying on punitive measures.

 

We advocate for strategies that promote healing and cooperation, rather than those that rely on violence and intimidation. Our communities deserve better, and we must work together to create a safer, more just environment for everyone.

 

Additionally, as a nonprofit organization, NOBLE firmly believes in the importance of neutrality in political matters. While we do not endorse political candidates, we unequivocally reject any rhetoric—whether it originates with a private citizen or a national figure—that advocates for police violence. Such language not only undermines the foundational principles of justice and community trust but also tarnishes the reputation of law enforcement organizations dedicated to serving and protecting all citizens.

 

The call for violence as a means of addressing crime diminishes the crucial role of law enforcement as guardians of community safety and erodes the trust essential for effective policing. Instead of fostering a culture of fear and aggression, we must promote strategies rooted in collaboration, transparency, and respect for human rights.

 

As an organization, NOBLE is committed to challenging the thinking and actions of those who, either purposefully or inadvertently, may threaten the implementation of equity and justice in our communities and, thereby, hinder progress with respect to public safety and establishing and perpetuating strong relationships between citizens and law enforcement. As the former president’s statement did both, we draw attention to the error in what he said and reiterate the notion that violence begets violence, leaving our communities broken and in desperate need of repair.

 

NOBLE prioritizes making communities better and moving the law enforcement profession forward with a vision that prioritizes dialogue and understanding over violence and division. Our commitment is to advocate for policing practices that build bridges between law enforcement and the communities they serve. By focusing on community engagement, de-escalation techniques, and equitable treatment, we can work toward a safer and more just society for everyone.
