Provides $162 million for police departments to hire more officers, requiring background checks and mental health evaluations.
This bill would set aside $162 million to help police departments across the country hire and rehire more officers. Agencies using these funds would need to conduct background checks and psychological evaluations for new hires. This aims to increase the number of career law enforcement officers in communities.
Today, no specific emergency funds are set aside by the federal government for hiring more law enforcement officers for the budget year ending September 30, 2025. If this bill passes, $162,000,000 would be made available for grants to help police departments hire and rehire officers. A condition of these grants is that officers undergo background checks and psychological evaluations.
