H.Con.Res. 31 is a concurrent resolution expressing congressional support for America's law enforcement professionals. The resolution acknowledges the dangers officers face daily, citing statistics such as over 79,000 police assaults in 2023, 172 officer deaths over three years, and a suicide rate 54 percent higher than other American workers. The resolution honors fallen officers and calls for increased government support at all levels, including more police personnel, improved training and equipment, tougher penalties for assaulting or killing officers, and expanded mental health resources. This is a symbolic measure that does not authorize funding or create new programs, but rather expresses Congress's position that law enforcement deserves enhanced resources and support to protect communities and officers themselves.
