Introduced·9/16/25

Establishes a recruitment fund for law enforcement agencies with significant vacancies.

Tennessee HB1445 creates a special account called the law enforcement officer recruitment fund within the state general fund. This fund aims to assist city, municipal, or county law enforcement agencies facing vacancies in 10% or more of their funded officer positions. The Office of Criminal Justice Programs will allocate and disburse grants from this fund to eligible agencies for recruitment purposes. The fund can accept public or private gifts and grants, and any unexpended balance at the end of a fiscal year will carry over to the next year.
