Key Points

• This resolution officially recognizes the hard work and sacrifices of more than 840,000 police officers across the country. It highlights that while crime rates have dropped recently, officers still face high levels of danger and stress on the job.
• The proposal points out that police officers deal with hundreds of traumatic events during their careers, leading to a suicide rate that is 54 percent higher than other jobs. It calls for more mental health support to help officers handle the emotional toll of their work.
• It also asks for more money to hire more officers, better training, and tougher punishments for people who attack or kill police. Many departments are currently short-staffed, with about 5 percent fewer officers than they had before 2020.
