National Law Enforcement Officers Remembrance, Support and Community Outreach Act.

Key Points

• This bill would provide $6 million each year for seven years to the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, D.C. While the museum was built with private money, this new federal funding would help pay for its daily operations and special community programs.
• The money will be used to create educational materials for schools and the public about the history of law enforcement. It also funds officer safety and wellness programs designed to help reduce the number of police officers who are injured or killed while working.
• Under this plan, the museum must provide free entry to all active and retired law enforcement officers and the families of those who died in the line of duty. Additionally, the museum would be required to offer free admission to the general public at least one day a week.
• The bill aims to address recent trends where many officers are leaving the profession. By funding outreach and education, supporters hope to build more trust between police departments and the neighborhoods they serve.
