Washington D.C. – Right On Crime, a national campaign of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, supports the findings and recommendations outlined in AFPI’s new research from Director of American Justice Policy, Greg Glod, which underscores the urgent national security and public safety need for a modern, secure White House event facility.
The report outlines how evolving threat environments, including recent assassination attempts and increasing security risks, underscore the need for infrastructure capable of safely hosting presidential events, diplomatic gatherings, and official government functions. The analysis emphasizes that current limitations in secure, purpose-built space present avoidable vulnerabilities for presidents, foreign heads of state, staff, law enforcement personnel, media, and attending civilians.
“Political violence and security threats against our nation’s leaders are no longer hypothetical concerns. They are a growing reality,” said Brett Tolman, Executive Director for Right On Crime. “After repeated assassination attempts and credible threats targeting the President, administration officials, and public events, strengthening secure infrastructure at the White House is a commonsense step rooted in public safety and national security for this administration, and every administration to follow.”
The report calls for a long-term approach to White House security infrastructure that prioritizes resilience, continuity of government operations, and the safety of all individuals involved in high-profile public events.
Right On Crime is a national campaign of the Texas Public Policy Foundation supporting conservative solutions for fewer victims, less crime, and safer communities.
