SERVICE Act of 2024
The SERVICE Act of 2024 establishes a 5-year pilot program to create specialized veterans response teams within law enforcement agencies. These teams, funded through federal grants, directly assist veterans in crisis by connecting law enforcement with VA resources, providing mental health training for officers, and organizing 24/7 volunteer response teams. Key provisions include identifying veteran officers to wear service pins, coordinating with VA and community agencies, and developing crisis response plans. The program requires participating agencies to track outcomes and report grant data to Congress annually.
