- This bill allows local police departments to use federal grant money from the Department of Homeland Security to upgrade their patrol cars.
- The main goal is to make police vehicles safer by adding security features like bulletproof glass for windows.
- Currently, these specific federal funds might be restricted to other uses, so this change gives local law enforcement more flexibility in how they spend their safety budgets.
