Bilingual Public Safety Act

This bill creates a federal grant program to help law enforcement agencies improve communication with communities where residents have limited English proficiency. It provides $50 million annually (2024-2033) for agencies to hire or retain bilingual officers, fund approved language training for officers, and implement community outreach programs. Grants require agencies to use only in-person, locally developed training programs (not remote translation services) and track outcomes like officer participation and encounter data. The program directly affects state/local law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve, with mandatory annual reporting to the Attorney General.
