Dear Representative Swalwell:
We write to you today on behalf of the 30,000 federal law enforcement members in FLEOA to express out strong support for H.R 3359, "Homicide Victims Rights Act of 2021."
The loss of a family member is tragic, made more so when they are the victim of a crime that remains unsolved. It is imperative that all families have a resolution. As technologies have improved, the chance of getting to that resolution of a crime has also dramatically improved. Agencies with these types of cases should endeavor to use every modern means available to review these cases and if possible, bring the new technologies and science to bear to try to solve them. These agencies will also be more capable if resourced and funded appropriately in this important work.
Thank you again for your leadership on this effort. We look forward to continuing to work with you on these matters and if we can be of any additional assistance, feel free to contact us at fleoa@fleoa.org.
Sincerely,
Larry Cosme
National President
Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association
