Bill overview
The Safer Communities Act aims to improve police accountability and support public safety officers. It requires states and local governments receiving Justice Assistance Grants to establish systems for sharing disciplinary records of law enforcement officers, ensuring access for hiring decisions and investigations. The bill also provides a one-time grant to states to implement these systems and expands benefits for retired public safety officers and their survivors under the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Program. Finally, it directs the Government Accountability Office to study settlement agreements related to police misconduct.
