Bill overview
This bill, the POLICE Act, aims to improve law enforcement standards and accountability by establishing a licensing system for federal law enforcement officers and encouraging states to adopt similar systems. The Department of Justice will create licensing standards based on best practices, and federal officers will be required to complete continuing education. States that don’t establish and maintain compliant licensing and training programs will see a reduction in federal grant funding. This legislation seeks to increase public confidence in law enforcement through enhanced training and oversight.
