“ Our law enforcement and public safety officers are the first line of defense in our communities. The men and women who do the hard, and so often dangerous, work every day, every night and every weekend to ensure the rest of us are safe. When duty calls, you answer the call without question.”

Mike Maiorana, senior vice president, Public Sector Markets, reiterated Verizon’s support of law enforcement and public safety agencies nationwide in remarks delivered at the National Police Week Legacy of Honor Gala in Washington DC.

Addressing an audience of law enforcement and public safety officers and their supporters, Maiorana spoke about the changing world of law enforcement and the rapid adoption of new technologies by law enforcement agencies large and small.

“We’ve come a long way from the cop on the beat,” he said. “Today’s law enforcement agencies…are using cutting edge technology to watch over our communities.”
