Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act
We are writing on behalf of the undersigned organizations to reiterate our concerns with certain provisions of the Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act. If enacted as currently written with the inclusion of items that are not directly related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, this legislation could lead to significant public safety consequences.

Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration (FAIR) Act of 2023
We write on behalf of the undersigned organizations to express our strong opposition to H.R. 1525, the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration (FAIR) Act of 2023, as passed by the House Judiciary Committee in June. This legislation, as currently drafted, will benefit criminals and criminal organizations and negatively impact the ability of law enforcement to protect the communities we serve, especially from drug trafficking activity. Violent crime in the United States has skyrocketed over the past few years, drug overdose rates are at record highs, and other threats facing American communities are becoming
increasingly complex. H.R. 1525 would reduce cooperation between federal, state, and local law enforcement at a time when this collaboration needs to be expanded.

Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act
We are writing on behalf of the undersigned organizations to register our concerns with H.R. 4639, the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act. If enacted as currently written, this legislation will produce significant public safety consequences. H.R. 4639 will restrict law enforcement’s access to critical investigative information that is utilized every day to combat violent and serious crimes such as murder, kidnapping, drug trafficking, human trafficking, child sexual exploitation, terrorism, and threats of mass violence. Preventing law enforcement from being able to access it efficiently will make communities less safe.

Opposition to SAFE Banking Act of 2023
The NNOAC strongly opposes any legislation that would shield marijuana businesses from federal law enforcement or pave the way for those businesses - which are trading in substances that are illegal under federal law - to access the banking system. Such a policy would only make it easier for marijuana producers and traffickers to increase drug availability to the general population - including youth - leading to more abuse and addiction.

Governor Gavin Newsom
The National Narcotic Officers’ Associations’ Coalition (NNOAC) represents our nation’s State Narcotic Officers’ Associations and their thousands of members. We join our colleagues at the California Narcotic Officers Association (CNOA) in vigorously opposing SB57, which includes plans to establish drug consumption sites in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland and in San Francisco and Los Angeles Counties. Not only are such sites illegal, but they will also draw more drug abusers and criminals into the areas where you allow them to operate. Crime and drug deaths will increase at the expense of decreased public safety.
