Grants for Flexible Child Care for Law Enforcement Officers' Families

This Act establishes a competitive federal grant pilot program, administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, to help states create flexible child care services for law enforcement officers. The goal is to provide care during abnormal work hours, such as night shifts and weekends, thereby aiding in the recruitment and retention of police officers. Citizens benefit indirectly from more stable staffing in local public safety agencies.
Key points
Introduction of a 3-year grant program for states to establish or support child care programs tailored to the nonstandard working hours of police officers.
Funds can cover startup costs, provider training, scholarships for families, and care for sick or disabled children.
The program aims to boost the recruitment and retention of officers, which is crucial for maintaining public safety and the stability of local police forces.
At least 20% of the funding must be allocated to smaller police departments employing fewer than 200 full-time officers.
