Federal Grants for Child Care Supporting Police Officers' Shift Work.

This Act establishes a new federal grant pilot program to help states fund child care services specifically for the minor children of law enforcement officers. The primary goal is to provide care accommodating officers' abnormal work hours, thereby supporting their retention and recruitment efforts within police departments. The program is authorized to receive $24 million annually through 2029 and requires matching funds from recipients.
