Congressman Jefferson Shreve, representing Indiana, has recently shared updates on his official Twitter account regarding public safety, manufacturing, and retail crime.
On May 13, 2026, Shreve posted about his meeting with a local law enforcement officer: “I met with Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Patrol Officer Calvin Gillings, who is receiving a TOP COPS Award from @NAPOpolice for going above and beyond the call of duty. During #PoliceWeek, we’re reminded that behind the badge are men and women who put themselves in https://t.co/arDHlvAXbI”.
The following day, May 14, 2026, he emphasized support for local industry in another tweet: “Made in Indiana matters. Met with @KnaufNA’s new CEO, Bill Matthias, during a quick break from a budget hearing to talk energy affordability, American manufacturing, and lowering costs for Hoosier families. Knauf is headquartered in Shelbyville and is a major Shelby County https://t.co/pZjf60kjF1”.
Later on May 14th, Shreve addressed organized retail crime: “Crime shouldn’t pay. I appreciate being recognized by @NRFnews as a “Congressional Retail Crime Fighter” for supporting the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act, which passed the House this week. Organized retail theft drives up prices and puts workers at risk. Hoosiers deserve https://t.co/7BdRCeCW1x”.
The Combating Organized Retail Crime Act referenced by Shreve was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives to address increasing incidents of organized retail theft across the country. The National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO), mentioned in Shreve’s first tweet, regularly recognizes officers nationwide during National Police Week for acts of heroism or distinguished service. Knauf North America (KnaufNA), whose CEO Bill Matthias met with Shreve according to his second tweet, is a significant employer based in Shelbyville and plays an important role in Indiana’s manufacturing sector.
