MEDINA, OH – U.S. Congressman Max Miller (OH-07) today hosted a public safety roundtable with federal, state, and local law enforcement officials. Miller was joined by more than 30 law enforcement officers who serve Northeast Ohio. 

Miller convened the roundtable to help deepen his understanding of the state of public safety in the region, learn more about the root causes of crime in Ohio, and understand how he can partner with those on the front lines to foster stronger public safety for communities in Ohio’s 7^th Congressional District. Topics of conversation ranged from border security to the need for more resources for law enforcement agencies and the partnerships and successes by law enforcement agencies at all levels across the region.  

The roundtable took place at Cuyahoga Community College’s (Tri-C) Public Safety Training Center, where police, fire, and other public safety officials have been trained since 1982. 

Congressman Miller stated: 

“Public safety is among the highest priorities for our communities, government leaders, and constituents. We deserve to live in safety that creates the strongest environment for people and communities to flourish.  There are many factors that contribute to crime – the crisis at our Southern border, the easy availability of drugs, constraints on law enforcement to name a few. The more we understand the contributing factors and collaborate on solutions, the better we can make our region and country. 

I’m grateful for the service of our law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every single day. I appreciate their time engaging with me on one of the most important responsibilities our government has: keeping the American people safe. Thank you to all who took the time out of their busy schedules to join this roundtable discussion, and I look forward to continuing to work together to make sure that Northeast Ohio is a safe place to live, work, and raise a family.”

The roundtable attendees included representatives from the FBI, United States Secret Service, DEA, ATF, CBP, Cuyahoga Community College, Bentleyville Police Department, Brunswick Police Department, Independence Police Department, Fairview Park Police Department, Wooster Police Department, North Royalton Police Department, West Salem Police Department, Medina County Sheriff’s Office, Rocky River Police Department, Oakwood Village Police Department, and others.
