FLEOA Commends Federal Law Enforcement Accomplishments and Administration Support in Calendar Year 2025
Throughout the past year, federal law enforcement officers carried out their missions with renewed clarity, authority, and operational backing. Policies implemented in 2025 restored enforcement credibility, expanded operational capacity, and empowered officers to confront violent crime, transnational gangs, narcotics trafficking, and large-scale illegal immigration with decisive and measurable results. At the same time, the Administration made officer mental health and wellness a core readiness priority, recognizing that resilient, supported officers are essential to both mission success and long-term workforce stability.
“Federal law enforcement officers performed at an extraordinary level in 2025,” said Mathew Silverman, National President of FLEOA. “They did so because they were supported with clarity and consistency by an Administration that recognized not only the dangers of the job, but also the importance of investing in the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the men and women who serve.”
According to Administration-reported data, 2025 produced historic enforcement outcomes, including major reductions in violent crime, drug overdoses, and line-of-duty deaths, along with record-setting immigration enforcement actions that disrupted cartel operations, removed dangerous criminals, and restored operational control at the border. These results reflect the professionalism, discipline, and sacrifice of federal officers across the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and partner agencies, supported by an Administration that treated officer wellness as a mission essential priority rather than an afterthought.
FLEOA also highlighted expanded hiring initiatives, increased detention and enforcement capacity, strengthened interagency coordination, policy reforms that ended release-based incentives and restored real consequences for criminal behavior, and enhanced wellness and resiliency programs aimed at reducing burnout, stress injuries, and suicide risk among officers. These actions not only improved public safety nationwide but also reduced operational strain on officers in the field and strengthened the long-term health of the workforce.
“Communities are safer and officers are better protected when federal law enforcement is allowed to enforce the law as written and when their well-being is treated as a strategic priority,” Silverman added. “The accomplishments of 2025 belong first and foremost to the men and women wearing the badge, and we are thankful for the Administration’s leadership and actions to protect both the public and those who serve.”

FLEOA recognizes that accountability and lawful process remain essential to public trust and reiterates its longstanding support for improved officer safety, enhanced recruitment and retention, and better pay and benefits. At the same time, the association stresses that professional standards, mission clarity, and operational integrity must remain top priorities.
“In 2025, the Trump Administration and Congress made unprecedented investments in public safety,” said Albert Maresca Jr., Vice President for Legislative Affairs, Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association. “Now we are turning to the White House to help lead a bipartisan initiative that will address pay and benefit disparities. Doing so will help build a workforce of elite law enforcement professionals capable of best serving the American people.”
As the nation looks ahead, FLEOA urges continued investment in federal law enforcement personnel, training, equipment, recruitment, retention, and compensation to sustain the gains achieved in 2025 and ensure officers can continue protecting the American people safely and effectively.
