National Law Enforcement Officers Remembrance, Support and Community Outreach Act.

This bill lets the Department of the Interior give grant funding to the National Law Enforcement Museum for the first seven fiscal years after the law takes effect. The money would support the museum’s community outreach, public education, and officer safety and wellness programs . It aims to improve public understanding of law enforcement and help reduce officer injuries and deaths through education and research.

The bill authorizes up to $6 million each year for seven years. If the full amount isn’t provided in a given year, the Department could shift funds from the National Park Service to cover it, up to the same amount. The museum would also provide free admission for active and retired officers and the families of fallen officers, plus set weekly free hours for the general public. It must file yearly progress reports that are shared publicly. Funds can keep current programs going, and may be used to expand resources like online materials, teacher trainings, traveling exhibits, collections, and safety and wellness innovations.
