Bill overview
The Recruit and Retain Act of 2023 modifies the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant program to allow grant recipients to use those funds specifically for recruiting and retaining law enforcement officers. This aims to bolster local police forces and support community-oriented policing strategies nationwide. The bill expands the permissible uses of COPS grant money to include attracting and keeping qualified officers. It does this by clarifying that grant funds can be used for recruitment and retention efforts.
