Creates new federal crimes and tougher penalties for harming law enforcement, expands officer firearm rights, and funds community programs.
This bill would create new federal crimes and increase penalties for killing or assaulting federal and federally funded state and local law enforcement officers, judges, and first responders. It would also expand the rights of officers to carry firearms in federal facilities and school zones. Additionally, it sets aside money for grants to help law enforcement agencies build better relationships with their communities.
Today, federal law offers some protections for law enforcement. If this bill passes, new federal crimes would be created for killing or assaulting federally funded public safety officers, with minimum prison sentences of 10 years for killing and up to 20 years for serious assault. Officers would also have expanded rights to carry firearms in federal facilities and school zones, and up to $20 million annually would be available for community-police programs.
