AI Summary
This bill, the Law Enforcement Inclusion Act of 2019, expands the allowable uses for Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grants to include hiring and training new, additional career law enforcement officers who are residents of the communities they serve. This aims to increase law enforcement workforce diversity and inclusivity, as well as foster stronger relationships between police and the communities they serve by encouraging officers to live in the same areas they police. The bill also requires the collection of data on the impact of such officer relocations on crime rates and the development of strategies to build a diverse and inclusive law enforcement workforce.
