Bill overview
This bill, the COPS on the Beat Grant Program Parity Act of 2023, aims to make the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant program more equitable and effective. It reduces the matching funds required for rural communities, eliminates preferences for agencies that exceed matching requirements, and allows grant money to be used to increase the wages of law enforcement officers in areas with lower median household incomes. The bill also directs the Department of Justice’s COPS Office to assess and recommend improvements to law enforcement workforce diversity and representation within communities.
