Law

This bill, introduced by Representative Tony Gonzales, would change federal law to allow local and state police departments to use federal grant money for vehicle security upgrades.
The proposal specifically allows Department of Homeland Security funds to be used for installing bulletproof windows and other protective armor on law enforcement cars and trucks.
The goal is to help police departments afford expensive safety equipment that protects officers from gunfire while they are inside their vehicles.
By making these upgrades an approved use of federal money, the bill aims to increase officer safety during patrols and high-risk calls without requiring departments to find new local funding.
