#bjah  ,,resolution  ,whereas the       
,united ,states of ,america was founded 
upon the principles of republican       
governance which include1 but are not   
limited to1 an adherence to the rule of 
law2 ,whereas the ,american law         
enforcement community embodies society's
 most salient defenders of the rule of  
law2 ,whereas the ability of the        
,american law enforcement community to  
effectively preserve the rights of      
,american citizens and uphold the rule  
of law is predicated upon a healthy and 
collaborative relationship between      
police officers and the communities they
 serve2 ,whereas police and community   
relations have recently experienced     
periods of strain1 where mistrust and   
suspicion have come to dominate police  
and community interactions in many      
communities and undermine effective     
policing strategies and public safety2  
,whereas the legitimate concerns of     

citizens as well as those of the law    
enforcement community are not always    
well understood by each respective      
constituency2 and ,whereas an open1     
constructive1 and mutually respectful   
dialogue meant to address these         
legitimate concerns can dramatically    
improve police and community relations1 
improve public safety1 and engage all of
 society's stakeholders3 ,now1          
therefore1 be it  ,that it is the sense 
of the ,house of ,representatives that  
,congress and the ,president should     
empower the creation of police and      
community alliances designed to enhance 
and improve communication and           
collaboration between members of the law
 enforcement community and the public   
they serve4  ,clerk4
