Establishes the Police Partnering With Communities Act to create a fund for reimbursing housing costs of police officers living in distressed areas.
The Police Partnering With Communities Act establishes a fund within the West Virginia State Treasurer's Office to reimburse housing costs for police officers who choose to live in distressed areas. Distressed areas are defined as economically disadvantaged, low-income regions with higher-than-average crime rates. This initiative aims to foster better relationships between police and communities by encouraging officers to live in the neighborhoods they serve. The fund will be managed by the State Treasurer's Office, with professional and clerical staff assigned to oversee it.
