Compassionate Assault Response and Empathy Act of 2024
HR 9051, the Compassionate Assault Response and Empathy Act of 2024, requires state, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies to implement trauma-informed training for officers handling sexual assault cases. The bill provides federal grants to fund this training, mandating at least eight hours for new officers during academy training and four hours annually for existing officers. Training must focus on preventing retraumatization, supporting victims, and include diverse trainers with inclusive representation. Agencies must report annually to Congress on grant usage and program effectiveness, with the Department of Health and Human Services maintaining an online directory of qualified trainers.
