This legislation mandates the Attorney General to conduct comprehensive studies and generate reports aimed at improving the safety and well-being of law enforcement officers. Congress acknowledges a concerning rise in violence against officers, including unprovoked attacks, and emphasizes the critical need for enhanced data collection and robust support for officers' mental health. Within 270 days, the Attorney General, in collaboration with the FBI and National Institute of Justice, must submit a report on violent attacks against officers. This report will detail the number of targeted offenders and coordinated incidents, survey federal, state, and local responses to ambushes, and recommend improvements. It will also analyze existing training programs and assess the efficacy and limitations of the Bulletproof Vest Partnership . Two additional reports are required: one exploring a new data category for aggressive actions or trauma-inducing incidents against officers not currently reported, detailing its scope and reporting strategies. The other focuses on mental health and wellness , examining stress-related responses, available resources, their utilization, and the need for mental health screening. All reports necessitate consultation with various stakeholders, including law enforcement agencies and non-governmental organizations.
