Stafford County Sheriff David Decatur and members of his department appear in that photo.
Here’s the press release:
On Saturday, August 20, prior to his appearance at the Fredericksburg Expo Center, Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump visited Stafford County’s Sheriff’s Office. The campaign contacted the office and arranged a private meeting with the Sheriff and his personnel to discuss law enforcement issues.
“Today, law enforcement agencies across the country are faced with complex challenges, expanding demand on resources and increased public scrutiny. We want to be part of the conversation to help define the need and identify meaningful solutions,” said Sheriff Decatur.
“There are many issues that we face locally that need to be examined through a national lens. Heroin and opiate use is a public health crisis that tears at the fabric of families, mental health emergencies demand more and more attention of our personnel every day and we have not been immune to violence against our uniformed men and women. We welcome the conversation as we search for local, state and national solutions,” added Decatur.
Although the @realDonaldTrump mtg was private the media release shares our concerns. https://t.co/Ab0l4ef0y5 pic.twitter.com/YKD72uOfBM
