HR 7581 United States House · 118th Congress

Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act

HR 7581 requires the Attorney General to submit three new reports within 270 days of enactment, focusing on data gaps affecting law enforcement safety. The bill mandates a detailed analysis of violent attacks against officers (including ambushes), non-criminal aggressive incidents not currently reported, and mental health impacts from such events. These reports will assess current data collection systems, training effectiveness, resource availability, and disparities in reporting across federal, state, and local law enforcement. The goal is to inform better prevention strategies and resource allocation for officer safety and wellness, without creating new funding or programs.
