Posts - Bill - HR 3408 Pathways to Policing Act

house 05/14/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to authorize grants that help recruit new law enforcement officers, especially from underrepresented and nontraditional backgrounds, by funding marketing campaigns and programs that support training and education. Our goal is to strengthen community policing by encouraging candidates to serve in the areas where they live or nearby.
