Next Gen Road Safety Act

This bill would change federal law to allow law enforcement agencies to use Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant money to buy equipment, technology, or support systems that help prevent or de-escalate high-speed vehicle chases. The bill lists examples of eligible items, including vehicle-disabling systems, police bumper systems, and drones. It does this by adding a new allowed use to the list of purposes for COPS grants.
