INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The National Police Association (NPA) announced in a press release issued Thursday that it has offered its “full support” for the nomination of the former Chief of Staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Kashyap “Kash” Patel, Esq. as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation under the administration of President-elect Donald Trump.
Citing his bona fides in the release the NPA wrote, “Kash Patel's extensive career in national security, law enforcement, and public service has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law, defending justice, and protecting the American people.”
According to a Department of Defense bio from his time as Chief of Staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, before joining Trump’s first administration as the National Security Advisor and Senior Counsel for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), Patel served as a terrorism prosecutor at the Department of Justice (DOJ).
During his time at the DOJ he “led investigations spanning multiple theaters of conflict and oversaw the successful prosecution of criminals aligned with Al-Qa’ida, ISIS, and other terror groups.”
Describing his contributions to law enforcement the NPA wrote further, “Throughout his distinguished career, Kash Patel has consistently prioritized transparency, accountability, and the safety of our nation. As a federal prosecutor, he worked alongside law enforcement to dismantle international drug trafficking organizations, combat violent crime, and bring dangerous offenders to justice.
"His tenure as a legal liaison to the Joint Special Operations Command further illustrates his ability to operate effectively in high-stakes environments, forging critical partnerships across federal, state, and local agencies.”
The organization added, “The law enforcement community knows that effective leadership at the FBI is essential for building public trust and enhancing coordination across all levels of policing. Kash Patel's proven record of leadership, expertise in counterterrorism and intelligence, and ability to navigate complex legal and operational challenges make him the ideal candidate to restore faith in the FBI's mission and ensure it remains a steadfast ally to our nation's police forces.”
The NPA said that Patel’s appointment would present a “pivotal moment for law enforcement and public safety across the United States,” and added that his leadership “will bring a renewed focus on collaboration, ethical standards, and the relentless pursuit of justice.”
