Reauthorizing Support and Treatment for Officers in Crisis Act of 2025
This bill, titled the Reauthorizing Support and Treatment for Officers in Crisis Act of 2025, seeks to extend the authorization for federal grants that support law enforcement officers and their families. The enacted text provided here shows only a single change: it redefines the period during which grants are authorized. Specifically, it replaces the previously authorized grant period of 2020–2024 with a new period of 2025–2029. The bill’s title suggests a focus on officer wellness and treatment in crisis, but the text available does not add new programs or funding levels beyond extending the authorization window. In short, the bill does not create new programs or funding amounts; it simply ensures that existing grants to support officers and their families can continue through 2029.
