Sherrod supports the men and women of law enforcement who put their lives on the line to protect our communities. He’s fighting every day to make sure all law enforcement officers have the resources, training, and support they need to do their jobs well.
That includes getting law enforcement officers the tools and support they need to combat the deadly fentanyl crisis. Sherrod’s FEND Off Fentanyl Act will support law enforcement in Ohio by targeting the illicit fentanyl supply chain — from the chemical suppliers in China to the cartels that traffic the drugs in Mexico. Sherrod also introduced and helped pass the INTERDICT Act, which became law under President Trump, to give border patrol officers the latest technology to detect opioids before law enforcement officers are exposed or opioids can make it into Ohio communities.
Sherrod has introduced additional legislation to provide drug containment devices to frontline border patrol agents and provide training on their proper use and worked with former Senator Rob Portman to introduce legislation to crack down on addiction-fueled human trafficking.
Sherrod also worked with Senator Thom Tillis to introduce legislation endorsed by the NAACP and the Fraternal Order of Police that would support law enforcement de-escalation training to protect our officers and make our communities safer.
