Donald Trump to Speak at Police Academy in New York

On August 14, 2026, President Donald Trump will deliver a speech at the Nassau County Police Academy in Long Island, New York.
The visit is intended as a rally to show support for local law enforcement.
During his remarks, the President plans to discuss the FBI's upcoming 2025 Crime Statistics Report, which his administration cites as proof of a significant nationwide drop in violent crime.
A central theme of the event will be the contrast between the President's 'law and order' platform and movements advocating to defund the police.
President Trump will be joined by high-ranking officials, including Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel.
To accommodate the event, Nassau County authorities have arranged for significant security, including road closures in areas such as Garden City and surrounding towns between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
This visit continues a tradition of President Trump speaking directly at police training facilities, similar to a notable 2017 appearance in Suffolk County.
Local officials emphasize that the visit highlights the administration's commitment to prioritizing police support and neighborhood safety.
