A concurrent resolution expressing support for America's law enforcement professionals.
This is a concurrent resolution expressing formal support for America’s law enforcement professionals. It recognizes the risks, sacrifices, and positive contributions of law enforcement officers, honors fallen officers and their families, and notes troubling trends such as rising assaults on officers, ongoing danger in the line of duty, and a decline in the number of full-time officers in recent years. The resolution calls for concrete steps to improve officer safety and well-being—including more policing personnel, better training and equipment, tougher penalties for assaults on officers, and expanded mental health resources—and urges all levels of government to ensure that law enforcement receive the necessary support and resources to keep communities safe. It is a symbolic measure intended to affirm bipartisan support and guide policy conversations; it does not itself authorize funding or create new laws. The Senate has already passed the measure (June 18, 2025); the status indicates it was introduced in the current Congress, with no sponsor listed in the provided text.
