Bill > HR6911

This bill, titled the "COPS Anti-Organized Crime and Cartel Enforcement Act of 2025," amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to allow grant funds from the COPS (Community Oriented Policing Services) program to be used for combating organized crime. Specifically, it permits the creation of specialized units focused on fighting organized crime, cartel operations, and transnational criminal organizations, enabling these units to acquire advanced investigative and surveillance technology like tactical vehicles and certain types of drones, purchase protective gear and firearms, receive specialized training in counter-organized crime tactics, and hire additional personnel. The bill also prioritizes grant applications from jurisdictions with a documented high presence of cartel or gang activity and appropriates $50 million annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for these grants, with the Attorney General required to finalize rules and report to Congress on the use of these funds.
