Expressing support for the Nation's law enforcement agencies and condemning any efforts to defund or dismantle law enforcement agencies.

HCONRES 5 is a symbolic Congressional resolution expressing support for law enforcement officers and condemning calls to defund or dismantle local police departments. It highlights officer safety concerns, references rising fatalities in 2021, and argues that reduced funding would harm community safety. The resolution does not alter funding, create new laws, or change policy - it solely states Congress's position through non-binding language. It was introduced in January 2023 by a bipartisan group of House members.
