Now, Mr. Adler.

Good morning, Chairman Grassley, Ranking Member Durbin, and distinguished members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

My name is John Adler, and I appear before you today in my personal capacity as to provide testimony in support of the nomination of the Honorable Todd Blanch to serve as the United States Attorney General.

I respectfully offer my perspective both as a former colleague of Acting Attorney General Blanch and as a national law enforcement organization leader.

My experience in law enforcement spans over 30 years and I was honored to serve under 10 Attorney Generals as a federal law enforcement officer.

Concurrent with my active duty law enforcement service, I also served as the national president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association for two terms representing federal offices from 65 different agencies nationwide.

As a volunteer law enforcement leader, I had and continue to have the privilege of serving with the leaders of the largest national law enforcement organizations, including the FOP, NAPO, NSA, IACP, and others.
