Key Points

  • Congress is considering a plan to provide $6 million a year for seven years to the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, D.C. While the museum was originally built using only private donations, this bill would provide federal tax dollars to help it grow and stay open.
  • The funding would be used to create new educational programs and exhibits that teach the public about the history of police work. It also aims to build better relationships between law enforcement and local communities through outreach and public events.
  • A major goal of the policy is to improve officer safety. The museum would use the money to research why officers get hurt or killed on the job and share that information with police departments nationwide to help keep them safe.
  • The bill requires the museum to offer free admission to all active and retired law enforcement officers and the families of those who died in the line of duty. Additionally, the museum would have to offer at least one day of free admission to the general public every week.
  • The Department of the Interior would oversee the money. To make sure the funds are used correctly, the museum would have to submit a report to Congress every year showing exactly how the money was spent and what progress they made on their safety and education goals.
