A NEW ERA OF LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERSHIPS:
FBI Director Addresses 56th Biennial F.O.P. Conference

08/05/03

Fraternal Order of Police graphicOn August 4, Director Mueller joined Chuck Canterbury, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, and some 2,000 police delegates in Providence, Rhode Island, to discuss the changes in policing and in law enforcement relationships that have occurred since terrorist attacks were launched against the country on September 11, 2001.

"Terrorist threats against the nation over the past two years have created a new era in the relationship between the FBI and local police," Mueller said. "You are the first lines of defense against danger. ...No one agency can handle these complex, sophisticated threats alone. ...we in the FBI are proud to be your partners."

Director Mueller also participated in a ceremony to honor Jeffrey Postell, the young Murphy, North Carolina, police officer who arrested Top Ten Fugitive Eric Rudolph on May 31. He noted with pleasure that Officer Postell's arrest of Rudolph exactly demonstrates the partnership principle: how local police are often the eyes and ears and handcuffs in national investigations.
