Bill overview
This bill, the Enhancing COPS Hiring Program Grants for Local Law Enforcement Act, aims to strengthen the existing COPS Hiring Program by allowing local law enforcement agencies to use grant funds to offer bonuses for recruiting and retaining officers. Specifically, it expands the types of bonuses that can be funded through these grants, focusing on agencies facing recruitment challenges or high officer turnover. The bill modifies existing legislation to clarify the definition of ‘law enforcement officer’ for grant purposes. This legislation seeks to address staffing shortages within local law enforcement.
