Rewards for Information on Threats and Bounties Against Law Enforcement.
The "No Bounties on Badges Act" authorizes the Attorney General to offer financial rewards to individuals who provide information leading to the arrest or conviction of those offering money to harm or kill law enforcement officers. This measure aims to enhance public safety and protect officers by creating a strong incentive for citizens to report serious threats. It provides a clear mechanism for the public to assist in preventing violence against police forces.
