Summary

Requires the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to develop and implement emergency-communication guidance for law enforcement–related events in buildings protected by FPS, assign building-level officials to carry out the guidance, and run periodic tests to ensure readiness. FPS must also submit a report to Congress about these practices. The bill defines “law enforcement-related” as incidents requiring a law enforcement response, gives building-level implementers responsibility for on-site execution, and sets a one-year deadline for FPS to issue the guidance and deliver the congressional report.
