Fire Service and Law Enforcement

fire

Congressman Hoyer has been a champion for firefighters, law enforcement and other first responders. He has fought to ensure that these brave men and women are provided with adequate resources to keep our communities safe and has worked to solve the quality of life issues that are unique to those who protect us.

Working closely with firefighters from Maryland and around the country, Congressman Hoyer helped establish the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program, which helps equip and train local fire and EMS departments throughout the country.   Over $15 millionhas been awarded to Fifth District fire departments since the program's creation in 2001. He also helped establish the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Firefighters (SAFER) Program, which enables career and volunteer fire departments to hire new firefighters, recruit and retain volunteers, and provide relief to the thousands of local fire stations across the country short of staff.

He has also worked to ensure our local police departments have the equipment necessary to fight crime and protect our communities.  Working with his Washington Metropolitan Area colleagues, Congressman Hoyer has spearheaded the efforts to combat the gang problem in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties by helping establish and fund the Joint County Task Force.

Congressman Hoyer also supported the COPS Hiring Recovery Program, which has strong support from Fifth District Police Departments.  This program will enable our departments to hire or retain a total of 55 police officers that would otherwise not be on the streets policing our neighborhoods and protecting our families.
