$800,000,000 for community oriented policing services
What the document says“and the Law Enforcement De-Escalation Training Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-325), $800,000,000, to remain available until expended”
The community oriented policing services account. Of the $800,000,000, $253,093,613 is for grants under section 1701 of title I of the 1968 Act for hiring and rehiring career law enforcement officers, and funding for hiring or rehiring an officer may not exceed $125,000 unless the director of the office grants a waiver.
What the document actually says“and the Law Enforcement De-Escalation Training Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-325), $800,000,000, to remain available until expended”
This gives $800,000,000 for local policing. The money has no end date. A large part of it helps towns hire officers.
A town can get help paying an officer's wages. The help is capped at $125,000 for each officer. The head of the office may lift that cap.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
