This concurrent resolution expresses congressional support for the nation's law enforcement professionals and acknowledges their contributions to public safety. The resolution highlights that over 840,000 police officers risk their lives daily to serve communities, and notes recent progress in crime reduction, including a 14.9 percent decline in homicides in 2024 and an unprecedented 18 to 20 percent drop in preliminary 2025 data. The resolution also documents challenges facing law enforcement, including increasing assaults on officers, low staffing levels across agencies, and elevated suicide rates among officers due to exposure to traumatic events. Congress calls for increased support through additional policing personnel, improved training and equipment, stronger penalties for assaulting or killing officers, and expanded mental health resources. This is a symbolic measure expressing support rather than legislation that creates new programs or allocates specific funding.
