Support for Local Law Enforcement: Accreditation Funding

This act aims to improve the quality of local law enforcement by providing funds for accreditation or re-certification. This means citizens can expect higher operational standards from police in their communities, potentially leading to increased safety and trust in law enforcement agencies.
Key points
Grant Program: A program will be established to help local law enforcement agencies (with fewer than 350 employees) obtain or renew accreditation.
Funding: Funds will be available to cover accreditation fees, on-site assessment charges, and extension fees.
Improved Standards: Accreditation means law enforcement agencies meet specific, high operational standards, which can enhance their effectiveness and professionalism.
