AI Summary
This bill establishes a grant program within the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) to provide training and access to mental health resources for local law enforcement officers in municipalities and tribal governments with fewer than 200 officers. The grants can be used for de-escalation training, victim-centered training, safety training, signing and retention bonuses, stipends for graduate education in mental health-related fields, and access to behavioral health services for officers. The bill requires a streamlined application process, audits to prevent waste and misuse of funds, and reporting on any signing or retention bonuses awarded by grantees.
