Enhances the COPS Hiring Program Grants to allow local law enforcement agencies to use them for recruiting and retaining officers.
The Enhancing COPS Hiring Program Grants for Local Law Enforcement Act amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to allow law enforcement agencies to use Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grants for bonuses aimed at recruiting and retaining officers. This applies to agencies facing recruitment declines or high rates of retirements and resignations. The bill also adds a definition for "law enforcement officer" as per section 1204(9).
