Budget Cuts
After “defund the police” became the rallying cry of protests police officers and firefighters, in small and large cities alike, have gone from heroes to budget bait.
Equipment Shortages
Thanks to these budget cuts, communities must make hard choices about what equipment they can afford to provide first responders. Fire and police departments across the country are reaching out to us to help them meet their equipment needs.
Diminished Capacity
The budget cuts, personnel reductions, station closures, and equipment shortages greatly diminish the capacity of our first responders to respond to life-threatening emergencies.
