BOISE, ID — Attorney General Raúl Labrador traveled to Washington, D.C. this week to participate in a National Police Week roundtable at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building alongside Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel. The roundtable brought together attorneys general and law enforcement leaders from across the country to discuss public safety and federal support for state and local agencies.
Attorney General Labrador used the opportunity to highlight the exceptional work of Idaho’s sheriffs, county prosecutors, police departments, and Idaho State Police in protecting communities across the state. He also discussed the work of his Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, which coordinates with dozens of federal, state, and local agencies to investigate and prosecute those who exploit children online.
Labrador also requested support from the administration in Idaho’s efforts to combat human trafficking. Earlier this year, the Idaho Legislature granted the Attorney General’s office new authority to investigate and prosecute human trafficking cases referred by state and local law enforcement agencies. Both Blanche and Patel were very receptive to finding ways to support that mission and work together.
“Idaho’s sheriffs, county prosecutors, and police officers do outstanding work protecting our families, and I was honored to represent and advocate for them at the White House this week,” said Attorney General Labrador. “I also made clear that we need federal support in our fight against human trafficking and the exploitation of children, which knows no state or local borders. The Trump Administration heard us, and I look forward to building on that conversation.”
National Police Week, observed May 10-16, honors officers killed in the line of duty and recognizes law enforcement communities across the country.
