Report on Border Crisis Impact on Police and Local Security Resources

This act requires the Attorney General to prepare a detailed report on the burden that border issues and drug trafficking (especially fentanyl) place on federal, state, and local law enforcement. The goal is to estimate financial costs, the impact on officer morale, and resources diverted from daily community protection. Citizens will gain insight into how border issues affect the availability and safety of local police forces.
Key points
Requires collecting data on how much money and resources local agencies lose due to border crisis activities and fighting fentanyl trafficking.
The report will examine the impact on officer safety, including injuries and exposure to fentanyl while on duty.
The information gathered will help Congress assess how the current situation affects police recruitment and morale nationwide.
