This bill would authorize $1,047,119,000 per year for the federal COPS ON THE BEAT grant program for fiscal years 2026 through 2031, replacing an authorization that covered fiscal years 2006 through 2009. It would also write into federal law the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) within the Department of Justice. The COPS Office would be a separate office led by a Director appointed by the President. The Director would report to the Attorney General and have final authority over the grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts the office awards.
