Training Rural Law Enforcement Officers Act of 2026

This bill would make certain nonprofit organizations eligible to receive Department of Justice law enforcement training grants. To qualify, a nonprofit must be found by the Attorney General to have experience, expertise, and a record of conducting law enforcement training. The nonprofit could use the grant to train State and local law enforcement agencies that have fewer than 50 sworn officers. The training would have to be free to the agency and consistent with Department of Justice priorities.
