This bill mandates the Attorney General to submit three comprehensive reports to Congress within 270 days of its enactment. These reports are intended to address rising violence against law enforcement officers, including unprovoked attacks, and to improve officer safety and mental well-being through enhanced data collection and analysis. The first report will focus on violent attacks against law enforcement officers , requiring an analysis of incidents where officers are intentionally targeted, the effectiveness of current training programs, and the efficacy and limitations of the Bulletproof Vest Partnership. It also seeks recommendations for improving Federal, State, and local responses to these attacks and for enhancing data collection on such incidents. A second report will analyze the feasibility of establishing a new data category within existing crime reporting systems for aggressive actions or trauma-inducing incidents against officers that do not currently meet reporting thresholds. This aims to capture a broader scope of challenges, including how to engage agencies in reporting this new data and its potential uses. Finally, the bill requires a report on law enforcement officer mental health and wellness , detailing the types and severity of mental health responses to traumatic incidents, evaluating available resources, and assessing the need for mental health screening. All reports necessitate consultation with relevant Federal agencies and a wide range of stakeholders, including law enforcement agencies and non-governmental organizations, to ensure comprehensive findings and recommendations.
