More Funding for COPS Act

This legislation aims to reauthorize and increase funding for the public safety and community policing grant program, commonly known as the COPS on the Beat program. It achieves this by amending the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, specifically updating the authorized appropriations for the program. The bill replaces the prior funding authorization of $1,047,119,000 for fiscal years 2006 through 2009. The new provision authorizes an annual appropriation of $1,163,032,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2030, ensuring continued and enhanced federal support for local law enforcement initiatives.
