Support for Local Law Enforcement: Accreditation Grants

This act establishes a grant program for local law enforcement agencies to help them obtain or renew accreditation. This aims to improve police operational standards, potentially leading to greater trust and effectiveness in ensuring community safety. Citizens may experience an improvement in the quality of services provided by local law enforcement.
Key points
Local law enforcement agencies (with fewer than 350 employees) can apply for grants to cover accreditation costs.
Accreditation means meeting high standards set by professional police organizations, which can enhance the professionalism of services.
The program has a budget of $10 million for fiscal year 2024, allowing many smaller units to improve their qualifications.
