A BILL To authorize the Secretary of the Interior to provide funding for the National Law Enforcement Museum, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to provide $6 million annually for seven years to support the National Law Enforcement Museum's operations and programs. The funding will help the museum enhance its community outreach, public education, and officer safety initiatives, including memorializing law enforcement officers who die in the line of duty, developing educational resources, creating digital and physical exhibits, and providing free museum admission to active and retired law enforcement officers and families of fallen officers. The bill highlights the museum's critical mission of honoring law enforcement sacrifices, educating the public about law enforcement's role in society, and addressing recent challenges such as declining officer morale and increasing resignation and retirement rates. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund will be required to submit annual progress reports to the Secretary of the Interior detailing how the federal funds are used and the impact of their programming. The legislation aims to foster better understanding between law enforcement and communities, promote officer safety and wellness, and support a national effort to restore confidence in law enforcement by providing resources for education, outreach, and commemoration.
