DHS Suicide Prevention and Resiliency for Law Enforcement Act

This bill establishes the Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Program within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to address suicide prevention and mental health support for DHS law enforcement personnel. It directly affects all DHS components with law enforcement officers (including Customs and Border Protection, ICE, Coast Guard, Secret Service, and TSA), requiring them to improve mental health programs, reduce stigma, and provide confidential counseling options without fear of adverse action. Key provisions include creating a confidential data collection system on mental health and suicides, mandating annual surveys, requiring annual suicide prevention training for officers, establishing a peer support network, and offering family support services. The program must track trends, evaluate existing initiatives, and report annually to Congress through 2027.
