What it does
This bill extends federal grant funding for law enforcement officer support and crisis intervention programs for five more years (2025–2029), replacing the expiring 2020–2024 authorization. It reauthorizes existing grants that help police officers and their families access mental health treatment and crisis support services.
Why we flagged it
The bill's sole function is to extend an existing federal grant program for law enforcement officer mental health and crisis support. It is a routine reauthorization with no policy changes, only a date extension.
Who it affects
The bill extends funding for mental health and crisis support services for law enforcement officers and their families, which indirectly benefits the public by supporting officer wellness and reducing officer-involved incidents driven by untreated mental health crises. There are no restrictions on citizen rights or protections, and no private giveaways.
Named in the bill
Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, Section 1001(a)(21), law enforcement agencies, federal grant programs
