Bill > HR1649

This bill, the Establishing Accreditation Grants for Law Enforcement Act of 2023 or the EAGLE Act of 2023, directs the Attorney General to establish a grant program to provide funding for the qualified accreditation or re-certification of local law enforcement agencies. The grants can be used to cover accreditation or re-certification 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 submit an application. The bill authorizes $10 million in funding for the program in fiscal year 2024, with the funds remaining available until expended. "Qualified accreditation or re-certification" is defined as accreditation or re-certification by a professional law enforcement organization involved in developing national, state, regional, or tribal standards, such as the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA).
