Summary

Directs the Attorney General, working with the FBI and the National Institute of Justice, to deliver three detailed reports to congressional judiciary committees within 270 days. The reports will examine attacks and ambushes against law enforcement officers, how to better track and use data on aggressive or trauma‑inducing incidents, and how to improve officer mental health and wellness. The reports must include counts, surveys, analysis, and recommendations on training, data collection, responses, and potential new laws or tools. They must be developed in consultation with federal, state, local, and Tribal law enforcement and relevant nongovernmental organizations. No new crimes or funding are created—this is a study-and-recommendations bill aimed at informing future policy and support programs.
