Bill > HR7752

This bill, the Establishing Accreditation Grants for Law Enforcement Act of 2020 or the EAGLE Act of 2020, directs the Attorney General to establish a grant program to provide funding for the qualified accreditation or recertification of local law enforcement agencies by professional law enforcement organizations, such as the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The bill authorizes $10 million in funding for the program in fiscal year 2021, and the grants can be used to cover accreditation or recertification fees, on-site assessment charges, and extension fees. To be eligible, local law enforcement agencies with less than 350 employees must demonstrate financial need and apply for the grant.
