Key Points

The Department of Justice must create detailed reports on violent attacks and ambushes targeting police officers. This includes looking at how many people intentionally target officers because of their job and how well current training prepares police for these dangerous situations.
The policy looks into aggressive actions against police that might not be counted in current crime statistics. This helps the government understand the full range of threats and stress officers face every day, even when a physical injury does not occur.
A major focus is on officer mental health. The Attorney General will study how trauma affects police, what mental health programs are currently available, and whether more screenings or peer-support programs are needed to help officers deal with job-related stress.
The government will review the effectiveness of programs that provide safety gear, like bulletproof vests. The goal is to find out if there are any gaps in how this equipment is handed out, especially in areas where ambush attacks are more common.
These reports are due within 270 days of the bill becoming law. The findings will be used to recommend new laws or training programs to better protect law enforcement and support their well-being.
