2008 U.s. Presidential Candidates Respond To The Iacp's Questions On Crime, Terrorism, And Homeland Security

摘要

In an effort to bolster the discussions on crime and homeland security issues in this U.S. presidential election year, the IACP submitted a series of questions to both major-party candidates for president: Republican nominee Senator John McCain and Democratic nominee Senator Barack Obama.rnThe IACP is a nonpartisan organization that neither endorses candidates nor contributes to campaigns; the nation's chiefs of police have no agenda, political or otherwise,rnbeyond their sworn duty to protect the public. The IACP's sole purpose in presenting these questions to both candidates is that the association's members in the United States, as well as the American public, deserve to know what steps the next administration will take to combat crime and terrorism and to make communities across the nation safer.rnBelow are included the six questions posed by the IACP and the responses from both candidates.
