BADGES for Native Communities Act aims to improve law enforcement data collection and coordination for cases involving Native Americans.

The Bridging Agency Data Gaps and Ensuring Safety for Native Communities Act, also known as the BADGES for Native Communities Act, seeks to enhance coordination and data collection for cases involving Native Americans. It establishes a demonstration program for background checks for Bureau of Indian Affairs law enforcement applicants, mandates a Government Accountability Office study on evidence collection by federal agencies, and creates a grant program for states and tribes to improve coordination on missing persons, sexual violence, and death investigations.
