Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act of 2025

Summary

Directs the Attorney General, through the COPS Office, to deliver a report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees within 150 days proposing at least one DOJ-administered program (if feasible) to provide state-of-the-art treatments and preventive care for job-related PTSD and acute stress disorder to public safety officers and public safety telecommunicators. The report must include program descriptions, draft grant conditions protecting confidentiality, administration approaches across federal/state/Tribal/territorial/local levels including telehealth, draft legislative text to authorize the programs, and an estimate of annual appropriations needed. Defines covered personnel by cross-reference to existing law (explicitly including Tribal public safety officers) and defines public safety telecommunicators; it does not itself appropriate funds or authorize a specific program, but requires detailed proposal and funding estimates to guide future action.

• Requires DOJ (via COPS) to deliver a detailed report within 150 days proposing at least one program to treat/prevent job‑related PTSD and acute stress disorder for public safety officers and telecommunicators.
• Report must include program descriptions, draft grant confidentiality safeguards, administration options across federal/state/Tribal/local levels, telehealth approaches, draft legislative text, and funding estimates.
• Explicitly includes Tribal public safety officers and defines public safety telecommunicators.
• Finds that public safety officers face higher rates of behavioral health conditions and suicide risk, and that many agencies lack access to mental health professionals.
• Does not itself fund or authorize programs—its purpose is to produce a feasible program design and appropriation estimate for future legislation or funding decisions.
