“I am always happy to make time and meet with our law enforcement officers and other first responders,” said Amata. “Their dedication to the communities they serve is self-evident through the sacrifices they make each and every day on our behalf, and I am honored to assist them in any way I can as a Member of Congress,” continued Amata.
The Law Enforcement Officers from American Samoa who were in Washington for training included, Chief of Police Tauese Sunia; CPT Paul Leuma; Customs Inspector So'oso'oali'i Savali; Special Agent Jolene Mageo, DHS; Special Agent Paia Toeava; Special Agent Leslie Tua, OTICIDE; Special Agent Tauamo Fe'a, DHS; and Jake Fano, Admin Assistant, DHS.
“I want to thank Police Chief Tauese Sunia, and his officers for taking time to meet with me regarding some of the issues they are concerned about, and for their service to our beautiful home. With the recent outbreak of blatant and horrific attacks against police officers across the nation, we must do all we can to ensure the safety of our Law Enforcement Officers, and I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to make sure that we are doing just that,” concluded Amata.
