Dedication of federal law enforcement noticed during shut down

United States Attorney Josh J. Minkler recognizes the dedication and loyalty of federal law enforcement
​
INDIANAPOLIS -On behalf of the United States Attorney's Office, I want to thank the nearly 800,000 employees in federal service who persevered throughout the recent government shut down. I particularly appreciate the dedication of the professionals in my office and the DOJ as well as my federal partners at FBI, DEA, ATF, Marshal Service, Homeland Security Investigations, ICE, IRS-Criminal Investigations, Secret Service, the Bureau of Prisons, and many others in law enforcement. 
 
The responsibility of protecting our country from threats foreign and domestic is a privilege that never ceases and your willingness to continue working, often putting your personal safety at risk, to protect and serve our public is a remarkable gesture. Very few household budgets can withstand the delay of two bi-weekly paychecks, but I know all of you did just that.
 
I am truly proud of your dedication and loyalty to the American public. It is an extraordinary blessing to be able to call you my colleagues and extend to you my gratitude. ​
