Authorizes DOJ to fund training for rural law enforcement officers through grants to nonprofits.

The Training Rural Law Enforcement Officers Act of 2026 aims to improve training access for law enforcement officers in rural and smaller communities. It authorizes the Department of Justice to provide grants to accredited nonprofit organizations. These grants will fund training for law enforcement agencies with fewer than 50 officers, conducted at no cost to the agencies. The bill addresses the challenges these smaller agencies face in navigating federal funding and reporting requirements.
