The EAGLE Act directs the Attorney General to create a federal grant program that helps local police departments obtain or maintain professional accreditation from recognized organizations like the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. The program targets smaller law enforcement agencies with fewer than 350 employees and covers costs associated with accreditation fees, on-site assessments, and related expenses. Police departments can apply by demonstrating financial need and specifying the amount of funding required. The bill authorizes $10 million in federal funding for fiscal year 2025, with grants remaining available until spent, and requires the Attorney General to establish the program within 90 days of the law's enactment.
