Bill overview
The Protect and Serve Act of 2025 aims to strengthen penalties for crimes targeting law enforcement officers. Specifically, it introduces a new federal crime for intentionally causing serious bodily injury to a law enforcement officer, particularly when the attack occurs during interstate travel or involves weapons transported across state lines. The bill also establishes a process for federal prosecution, requiring Attorney General certification based on state requests or public interest considerations. It defines key terms like ‘law enforcement officer’ and ‘State’ to ensure clarity.
