Police can use federal money for vehicle security, including bulletproof windows.
This bill would let police, sheriffs, and other state, local, and tribal agencies use federal money for vehicle security upgrades. This includes bulletproof windows. Right now, the law doesn't clearly allow these funds for such uses.
Today, federal law does not clearly allow certain financial assistance to be used by law enforcement agencies for vehicle security upgrades. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Homeland Security would be able to explicitly authorize the use of these funds for upgrades like bulletproof windows.
