Expressing support for the Nation's law enforcement agencies and condemning any efforts to defund or dismantle law enforcement agencies.
This concurrent resolution (HCONRES 4) expresses congressional support for U.S. law enforcement agencies and condemns efforts to defund or dismantle them. It does not create new funding or policy changes but formally rejects "misguided and dangerous efforts to defund and dismantle" police departments, citing officer safety concerns and rising fatalities. The resolution specifically references the 2021 increase in law enforcement deaths (458 officers killed) and opposes rhetoric that "vilifies" officers, while emphasizing their role in community safety and crisis response. It is a symbolic statement with no binding legal or financial impact.
