Sinema Honors John McCain & Arizonans Affected by Brain Cancers

Senator addressed the Arizona Fraternal Order of Police and thanked them for their brave and tireless service to protect Arizona communities

WASHINGTON - Arizona senior Senator Kyrsten Sinema addressed the Arizona Fraternal Order of Police - led by her brother, Paul Sheldon - in honoring fallen Arizona police officers and thanking law enforcement for their bravery and tireless service to keep Arizona communities safe.

"Arizona's police officers put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities - and I'm grateful to join the Arizona Fraternal Order of Police in honoring the memory, service, and courage of fallen officers who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe," said Sinema.

"The Arizona Fraternal Order of Police was proud to host our Honorable U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema at our State Conference yesterday. For twenty years Senator Sinema has been a strong FOP ally and we were honored to present her with a small token of our appreciation for her years of service and dedication to the state of Arizona and the FOP. All in attendance were thrilled to give her a standing ovation and she will truly be missed," said Paul Sheldon, President of the Arizona Fraternal Order of Police.

Sinema comes from a military and law enforcement family and flies a Thin Blue Line police flag in her Senate office. As Arizona's senior Senator, she works to ensure Arizona law enforcement has the tools and resources needed to keep Arizonans safe, and she recently announced over $2.5 million in bipartisan appropriations for Arizona law enforcement.

This Congress, Sinema introduced bipartisan legislation reauthorizing the U.S. Department of Justice's Project Safe Neighborhoods program that brings together federal, state, local, and Tribal law enforcement, prosecutors, community leaders, and partners to stop crime and protect Arizona communities.
