Enhances COPS Hiring Program Grants to allow law enforcement agencies to use funds 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 recruiting and retaining officers. This includes providing bonuses for agencies facing recruitment challenges or high retirement rates. The bill also updates the definition of "law enforcement officer" to align with other sections of the Act.
